SliceGroup?

A slice of type SliceGroup? will display a group of slices
The members of the group are determined using their tags, the slice group will display each slice which has the specified tag.
This is one of the most powerful features of ACR and can be used to implement News, Image Galleries, Video Repositories, etc...
The slice group also implements pagination, you can specify how many slices to view for each page.

Use

• view: slicegroup

• content: ini

INI

Starts with a [group] section and must contain the following variables

• filter_tag = the tag for which to filter the group, slices with this tag will be displayed by the slicegroup

The following variables are optional

• size = how many slices to see inside each slicegroup page, default is 0 which means unlimited

• type = which tag to use to embedd the displayed slices. By default each slice is embedded inside a div, you can specify li for example to apply things like jQuery Carousel to the slice gorup

• preview = Whenever to display the slice itself or the preview of the slice for each slicegroup member (1 means display preview, 0 means display slice)

• orderer = Which ordering function to use to display the members of the slicegroup. By default they are not ordered. The content_time ordering function is the only one available by default. You can register new ordering functions by appending them to the acr.lib.views.SliceGroupRenderer?.slice_orderers dictionary (key is the name of the orderer, values is the callable). The argument passed to the ordering function is the SQLAlchemy query to modify.

Example

[group]
filter_tag=news
size=5
orderer=content_time
preview=1
