Plantillas de BasedeDatos

Nota: Pendiente de Traducir. ¡Anímese a traducir esta página!. ( y otras páginas pendientes)

Las plantillas para el Módulo de actividad BasedeDatos le permiten a Usted controlar el diseño visual de la información al enlistar, ver o editar entradas de la Base de datos. Es similar a la técnica usada para hacer caampos combinados en procesadores de texto como Open Office Writer o Microsoft Word.

Uso de marca (tag)

El contenido de cada campo que Usted cree para su Base de Datos y algunas marcas (tags) especiales (enlistadas debajo) pueden ser insertadas dentro de la plantilla de salida mediante el uso de marcas (tags).

Los campos tienen el formato [[fieldname]]. Todas las otras marcas (tags) tienen el formato ##sometag##.

To use the tags in the box on the left of the page, first click to Disable the editor and then place your cursor in the text area of your target edit and click on the tag you want to place. When you have finished, click to save the template. Alternatively, you may simply type the appropriate name within the required symbols like ##this## or [[this]], respectively.

##edit## creates a clickable icon link that allows you to edit the current entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)
##delete## creates a link that lets you delete the current entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)
##approve## create a link that lets you approve the current database entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)
##disapprove## create a link that lets you unapprove the current database entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)
##more## creates a link to the single view, which may contain more detailed info
##moreurl## creates just the URL for the above link, useful for creating your own links. You can click on the link icon and type ##moreurl## into URL field or in source view type
```
<a href="##moreurl##">[[fieldname]]</a>
```
##comments## creates a link to the view/edit comments page, the link text is the current number of comments (only appears if comments are turned on)
##user## creates a link to the user page of the user who submitted the entry, link text is their name
##timeadded##
##timemodified##
##userpicture## displays the user picture in List view
##approvalstatus## inserted as inline css provides highlighting for unapproved entries
###tags### displays tags (enabled by default in Manage tags in the Site administration) - new in 3.4

Example of ##userpicture## tag

Plantilla Lista

This template allows you to control the fields used and their layout when viewing multiple entries at once (e.g. search results). It is possible that this view may simply provide an overview with more detailed information available by clicking on an entry to access the single view of the entry.

See Designing a list view in Moodle database activity for instructions on how to create a list template table.

The list template can also be used as a way to export your database as a CSV file.

Plantilla Única

This is used to display a single entry at a time and so has more space for display and can use, for example, larger versions of images or optionally provide more information than shown in the list view.

Plantilla Búsqueda avanzada

An advanced search template is for creating the interface form used in the advanced search.

Plantilla Añadir

This template creates the interface form used when adding or editing database entries.

Plantilla RSS

Lets you control the content of the RSS feed for database entries.

Plantilla CSS

If any of the HTML in your other templates requires CSS to provide visual style you can specify it here.

Plantilla Javascript

You can use javascript to manipulate the way elements are displayed in either the List, Single or Add templates. Basically you need to enclose the part you want to manipulate in some named html element. The naming is essential as it allows you to identify the element for manipulation.

Let's say, for example, you have a field in your database that stores a person's name and when you display the names in the List View you want to count the times a name matches some criteria and display the result.

Your database will contain a field which we will call "name". In your List template you will be able to display the contents of that field by using the [[name]] construct at the place where you want that information displayed. For example in the Repeated entry on the list template you will have

 <table>
   <tr>
     <td>Name: [[name]]</td>
   </tr>
 <table>

You now need to modify that entry to ensure that the part you want to manipulate is a named element.

 <table>
   <tr>
     <td name="named">Name: [[name]]</td>
   </tr>
 <table>

The footer of your list view can then contain another named element to display the result.

  <div name="result"></div>

Your javascript template can now look as follows

 var cnt = 0;
 var re = /foo|Foo/;
 
 function init(){
   var namedElements = document.getElementsByName("named");
   for (i=0; i < namedElements.length; i++) {
       if(re.test(namedElements[i].innerHTML)) cnt++;
     }
   var namedResult = document.getElementsByName("result");
   namedResult[0].innerHTML = cnt;
   }
 
 window.onload = init;

This will display a table of names as is usual in the list view. Now at the bottom there will also be the count of the names that matched foo or Foo.

Note that window.onload does not handle any dependencies on YUI code, so any YUI modules required by your init() code may not be loaded, and your code will fail.

In this case, instead of onload, use:

YUI().use('node', 'other', 'dependencies', function(Y) {

  // Your code here.

  // This function is a closure so the Y object you define in the function definition is yours and nothing else on the page should be able to break it.

});

Botón Reiniciar plantillas

When you first create a database the templates will be pre-filled with appropriate HTML. If you later add fields then you can press the reset templates button and it will add HTML for the new fields in a similar fashion. If you have edited any of the templates in the meantime then your changes will be lost. It is recommended that you finalize the database fields before changing the template code.
