!&# Content

This Drupal 6 module uses ctools content to render different types of content
in different formats.

This was developed for the sole purpose supporting arbitrary content in CiviCRM
Dashlets. Any other use is untested.

Usage

The module sets up a single page callback bp-content. At least two additional
arguments are required, and possibly more.

bp-content/FORMAT/TYPE/SUBTYPE

• FORMAT
  I use the ctools_js load argument incorrectly, because I wanted to support
  formats besides ctools JSON objects. Valid values are ajax, nojs, ahah,
  json, jsonp.
• TYPE
  The name of any Ctools content type plugin, such as block, contact,
  node, page_title. Context is not supported.
• SUBTYPE
  The subtype, which may not be required depending on your TYPE. For
  block, you can specify the module and delta as the subtype: user-1 for the
  Navigation menu.

Depending on the FORMAT value, other GET variables must be included.

• jsonp requires callback.
• ajax requires selector.

You must also pass the ctools content type. Depending on the ctools content
type, subtype and other arguments may also be required.

Examples

• Navigation menu (User module's block #1) as AHAH fragment.
  bp-content/ahah/block/user-1
• Contact form page callback.
  bp-content/nojs/contact
• Contact form JSON object.
  bp-content/json/contact
• Site name as a page callback.
  bp-content/nojs/page_site_name
• AHAH fragment of node 1's teaser.
  bp-content/ahah/node&conf={%22nid%22:%221%22,%22leave_node_title%22:true}

To create a CiviCRM dashlet, just add a row to the civicrm_dashboard table.

INSERT INTO `civicrm_dashboard` (`domain_id`,`label`,`url`,`permission`,`is_active`)
VALUES
  (1, 'Navigation menu', 'bp-content/ahah/block/user-1', 'access CiviCRM', 1);

I had to remove a dashlet from my dashboard before I the new one appeared in the
box of available dashlets.
