  Previous topic Next topic JavaScript is required for the print function Mail us feedback on this topic! Mail us feedback on this topic!  

Groups can have any number of media libraries. Because of this fact, we will create the Media list page. On this page, a list of all media libraries of the current group will be displayed by the Group media libraries viewer web part. After clicking a media library, users will be redirected to the Media page, created  in this chapter, where the content of the library will be displayed.

 

1. Select the Groups page in the content tree and click New. Choose the Page (menu item) document type.

5. Switch to the Design tab. First, we will add a breadcrumbs heading using the Static text web part. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Text -> Static text web part. Set the following properties of the web part, leave the rest at the default values.

 

Web part control ID: Breadcrumbs
Text:

 

<div class="GroupBreadcrumbs">

<a href="~/Groups.aspx" class="CMSBreadCrumbsLink">Groups</a> <span class="TitleBreadCrumbSeparator">&nbsp;</span> <a href="~/Groups/{%CommunityContext.CurrentGroup.GroupName%}.aspx" class="CMSBreadCrumbsLink">{%CommunityContext.CurrentGroup.GroupDisplayName|(encode)true%}</a> <span class="TitleBreadCrumbSeparator">&nbsp;</span> <span class="CMSBreadCrumbsCurrentItem"> Media </span>

</div>

 

6. Now we will add some info text using the Editable text web part. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Text -> Editable text web part. You do not need to set any properties of the web part, just leave all of them at the default values.

 

Click OK.

 

7. Switch to the Page tab and enter the following text into the Editable text web part's text area.

 

Bellow you can find list of group media libraries.

 

Click Save.

 

8. Switch back to Design tab. We will add the Group media libraries viewer web part. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Community -> Group media libraries viewer web part. Set the following properties of the web part, leave the default values for the rest of them.

 

Hide if no record found: disabled
No record found text: There are currently no media libraries.

 

Click OK.
