Introduction

What does it do?

The Reea Teasmenu extension is a modified and improved version of the A1 Teasermenu extension, which displays an automatically generated overview for subpages or a selection of pages.

You can add two images per subpage for the teaser rollover image. The appearance of the teaser page can be defined by changing the HTML-template and via CSS.

Configuration

Install the extension in the extension manager.

Add a new content element of the type “Menu/Sitemap” to the overview page.

Edit the new content element:

Select content element type “Menu/Sitemap”

Select menu type “Reea Teasermenu”

Add one or more startingpoints

Select the number of columns for the teaser.

Select the html template that you want to use

Sorting – Select the order in which you want the pages to be sorted (by title, by date, random)

Recursive subpages – Check if you want to display recursively all subpages of the selected startingpoint page, instead of just the first level subpages

List only items having lastUpdated checked – check if you want to display pages that have lastUpdated checked

Items per page – enter the number of items you want to display on a page; if the number of pages is bigger than the number you entered, the list will display also a pagination module.

Define the teaser type:
Menu of subpages: teaser menu is generated from the subpages of the defined pages
Menu of pages: adds each single page to the teaser menu

To add images and descriptions to the pages, you have to edit each page header.

Enter the short description of the page into the field “Abstract”.

Finally add up to two images. The first image is the default, the optional second image is shown on rollover.

Edit template (EXT:reea_teasermenu/pi1/reea_teasermenu.tmpl):

You can format the table around using CSS (class tx-reeateasermenu-pi1). You can use typoscript setup und constants to tweak the image and some textfields.

The following markers are substituted:

###IMAGE### - The code for the menuimage, including code for rollover (2nd Image)

all othe fields in the page-row (uppercased, ###ABSTRACT###, ###TITLE###,etc.)

The following subparts are substituted:

###LINK_ITEM### - The link to the page

Thats it!
