Newsroom Planner uses other plugins functionality to complete some of it's tasks.
For example NRP underling on Naviga Photos to handle searching for images and handle images metadata.
NRP uses Dashboard portals to render other plugins components in it's own context.
Thanks to Dashboard mappings 🤓 you can replace Naviga Photos with your own image engine portal
and integrate your plugin into NRP
What kind of portals that NRP uses?
NRP uses 4 deferent portals in order to search for images and link them or display images as a gallery or upload images.
Search for images and link them to an Assignment.
Display Assignment's images.
Upload Images, and link them to an Assignment.
Change Assignment's images metadata.
ImageSearch portal
This portal used to search for images, and link the selected images to the active Assignment.
Where is it rendered?:
In My Assignment view:
In Assignment Detail view:
Props:
A callback function expected to be called with array of image's uuid, filename .
A localizations object contains localized strings.
A flag to tell the portal that NRP in an edit mode or not.
NRP doesn't call any methods from ImageSearch portal
Example:
Copy const MySearchPortal = props => {
const [ selectedImages , setSelectedImages ] = useState ([])
const {
onLink
} = props
const handleOnSelect = selectedImage => {
const images = selectedImages .push (selectedImage)
setSelectedImages (images)
}
const handleLinkImages = () => {
/*
selectedImages format:
[
{
filename: 'myImage.jpg'
uuid: '123-123-321321-123-123'
},
{
filename: 'logo.jpg'
uuid: '444-423-774238-321-006'
}
]
*/
onLink (selectedImages)
}
return (
< div >
< SearchInput />
< LinkButton onClick = {handleLinkImages}/>
< ImagesWrapper onSelect = {handleOnSelect}>
< img />
< img />
< img />
< img />
< img />
</ ImagesWrapper >
</ div >
)
} localizations:
Supports English & Swedish
Copy console .log ( this . props .localizations)
/*
{
link: 'Link selected photos'
}
*/
How NRP render ImageSearch:
Copy const ImageSearchWrapper = props => {
