Manual:Extension/BookshelfUI

What is BookshelfUI?

BookshelfUI provides a graphical interface for creating, editing and managing books. It consists of a book editor, a book management and an integrated navigation.

Books management

• In the book management books can be created, copied and deleted.
• When creating a title must be specified.
• The already existing books are displayed in a list.

Book Editor

• The book editor displays the contents of a book in a hierarchical folder structure.
• Book chapters are added in the form of wiki articles. A selection dialog opens for this purpose.
• Book chapters can be renamed.
• Book chapters can be dragged into the desired order by Drag'n'Drop.
• Book chapters can be deleted via an icon. It is not the article itself deleted, but only taken from the book.
• Metadata can be inserted via a dialog.
• All changes will only become active after clicking on the "Save" button.
• When saving, the bookshelf tags in the articles are copied (if desired).
• It is possible to mark individual chapters for export.
• If the user clicks on "Export selection", he receives a document in the selected format. At least one export extension must be activated for this.

Integrated navigation

• The navigation is a separate tab in the sidebar.
• It consists of two areas
  • Available Books shows a list of all the books stored in the system
  • Chapter shows the chapter navigation of the currently selected book.
• The two areas are represented by an accordion grid. This also means that only one area is open at a time.
• The ad will be preserved the same way the user selected it when the page was changed.
