Configuring the Sample Storyline Element Field Editors

The Content Engine 6.8 distribution incorporates two sample storyline element types that make use of storyline field editors:

• map, a storyline element type for maps, plus a supporting web component called google-map.

• table, a storyline element type for editing tables, plus a supporting web component called data-visualization.

You will find the storyline element definitions and the supporting web components in the Content Engine's contrib folder. The storyline element definitions are in the contrib/starter-pack/storyline-element-types folder and the web components are in the are in the contrib/starter-pack/story-element-web-components folder.

To make use of these storyline element types, in your publications you need to:

1. Upload to the Content Engine:

   • The storyline element types

   • A storyline template that contains references to the new storyline element types (for example, the sample template contrib/starter-pack/storyline-templates/blank.xml)

   For a description of how to do this, see Manage Shared Resources.

2. Upload the web components to a web location that is accessible to CUE.

3. Add a configuration file to your CUE config folder (/etc/escenic/cue-web-2.9/) containing the following definitions:

   customComponents:
     - name: "google-map"
       modulePath:  "http://your-server-location/google-map/google-map.js"
     - name: "data-visualization"
       modulePath:  "http://your-server-location/data-visualization/data-visualization.js"

   where your-server-location is the location to which you uploaded the web components.
