adapt-aboutUs

An Adapt extension that adds to the Drawer information about the sponsoring organization.

Usage

This extension adds an item to the Drawer. All text is replaceable/customizable. Graphic/logo that appears in front of the organization is optional. Social media links are optional, but are restricted to the icons available within the extension (see list below). Between the name of the organization and the social media links, any number of title/description items maybe configured. The above titles ("Our Mission," "Contact Us," "Find Us," "Partner with Us") are simply examples. What is seen in the image above is simply an example.

Installation

• With the Adapt CLI installed, run the following from the command line:
  adapt install adapt-aboutUs

  Alternatively, this component can also be installed by adding the following line of code to the adapt.json file:
  "adapt-aboutUs": "*"
  Then running the command:
  adapt install
  (This second method will reinstall all plug-ins listed in adapt.json.)

• About Us may be installed using Plugin Management.

Settings Overview

The attributes listed below are used in course.json to configure About Us, and are properly formatted as JSON in example.json.

_aboutUs

The name of the extension object as used in the course.json file.

_isEnabled

Enable or disable About Us by setting this property to true or false.

title, description

The short texts that appear when the Drawer opens. They link to the example view seen in the image above.

headline

The text of the first line that appears to the right of the optional graphic. Typically this would be the name of the organization/company. Its width is set to 87% in order to accommodate the _graphic. It expands to 100% when no _graphic.src is provided. This style can be altered in aboutUs.less.

_graphic

The optional image that appears to the left of the organization's name (the headline). An example image is included (ex-logo.png). Its dimensions are 30px x 30px.

src

The path to the image. If it is not provided, no image will be displayed.

alt

The content of image's alt attribute.

_aboutUsItems

A list of any number of title/description text pairs that appears between the company name and the social links.

title

The text that appears as a section header and that toggles open and close the text that appears below it. HTML is acceptable.

description

The text that appears below the title. It is open and closed when the user clicks on its title. HTML is acceptable.

_socialLinks

Optional icons linked to social media/networking accounts.

_service

The name of the social media service. The extension's code will link the _service to its icon; therefore, it must be spelled exactly as it appears in this list:

Supported Services
Twitter	Facebook	LinkedIn	GooglePlus	YouTube
Pinterest	Instagram	Vimeo	flickr	Picasa
Lanyrd	DeviantArt	Steam	Blogger	Tumblr
SoundCloud	XING	Feed	qq	sina-weibo
tengxun-weibo	wechat	youku

_link

The URL that will be followed if a user clicks on the icon. It should take the form of a fully qualified internet address, including any parameters that identify the account. If the _link is not provided, the icon will not be displayed. If you don't want any icons to appear, don't provide any _links. You can, in fact, omit from course.json the complete _socialLinks section.

Limitations

• Accessibility and RTL support have not been thoroughly tested.
