In this document we will go through the javascript at work behind Arlima's user interface. In short you could say that the interface consists out of six different "views", each with its own set of javascript objects containing the logic needed for each view. In the image below we try to illustrate these views.

Interface objects

Javascript objects

The point of this illustration is to give you a hint of where to start looking if wanting to implement a feature in any of these views. You can also take look at the interface walkthrough to get a more detailed description of the features available using the interface.

Workflow

This Wordpress plugin was created by Swedish newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren to give its editorial staff an easy to use tool for customizing the front pages of their online magazines.

Installing Arlima

  1. Download the latest release from github and unzip the folder in your plugin directory.
  2. Open up wp-admin and activate the plugin.
  3. Go to "Article lists" -> "Edit lists" in wp-admin and create your first article list.
  4. Open up a page (or create it) in wp-admin. Down to the right you will see a meta box labeled "Arlima" where you choose the list that you created on step 2.
  5. Go to "Article lists" -> "Manage lists" and start stuffing your article list with interesting content.
