Configure Mosets Tree to be like Bookmarks

Written by

what I have done to mosets tree to set it up like Bookmarks.

General Notes

  • delete unwanted categories ie demo data
  • enable search plugin
  • installed Grabmeta Plugin

Mods

These are changes to system files and are not user setable.

Template Mods

  • copied default template to 'bookmarks'
  • added shrink the web code in to sub_listingSummary.tpl.php (link lists)
  • added some css to the image to make shrink the web webshots obey left/righ, template.css line 445 added .listing-summary span.image img , line 453 added .listing-summary span.image-left img
  • added shrink the web code in to sub_listingDetails.tpl.php (link details - details view style 1 only), almost the same as sub_listingSummary.tpl.php

Core Mods

  • updated corewebsite field to match the mweblink custom field as having 2 fields was pointless. this also allowed me to still use the core field databse table.
  • after installing the new corewebsite field, i opened up its config page and resaved it so all the new parameters are saved/present

Settings

These are user setable settings in the Mosets Tree Backend.

Template Settings

  • make sure Bookmarks is set as the default template (this could also be put in core settings)
  • X Listing Name's link destination - set to Listings Website (new window) - controls what the titles link goes to - if you want to use the advanced features of my new coreweblink (or mweblink) you must not use this for external linking as only the visit counter will work. there is no option for plain URL link (ie must be counted via internal redirect)
  • set 'Listing Name's link destination' back to details page, all features of mosets point to this including joomla 'search'.
  • Show image --> no
  • Number of subcategories = All

Core Settings

  • enable wysiwyg for description - frontend (MT configuration/Main/Use WYSIWYG Editor in front-end Description field)
  • enable wysiwyg - backend (MT configuration/Main/Use WYSIWYG Editor description field in back-end)
  • turn all stripping html off on description field before input, set all to no - I might of changed my mind on this
  • * show rating template or config
  • RSS - disable (for now)
  • * SEF URLs - unsure
  • Who can suggest listing = none
  • Who can suggest category = none
  • Show rating = no
  • Who can make a rating = none
  • enable the Visited Filed in 'Summary View', i also added it into 'details View'
  • enable search plugin and have it to search listings and categories
  • configuration/Admin/Explorer's Tree Level set to 10 - this setting limits by default to 4 layers deep.

Category Settings

  • make sure you apply the bookmarks template to all children
  • make sure root category uses the index template
  • Allow listing submission = no
  • set only the following fileds to be used name/description/website/visited)

To Do

  • * make mosets tree seach nested (like my K2 one)
  • * add shrink the web to details view.
  • * make details 'title' link to the website via internal link?
