Standard Display, is based on Slots.
You can define as many Slot as you want. The Template will deploy a Nugget for each Slot. And you can determine the characteristics of each Slot.
First of all, you should determine how many Slots you want :
Nuber of Slots
After you enter the number of slots, you press the "Init Slots" button. This button will initialize each slot, that is, each Slot will be set to "Full Random". Then you can modify each slot, one-by-one.
Setting Parameters for a Slot
For each Slot, first determine the "Nature".
NATURE |
BEHAVIOUR |
Full Random |
Brings a random visible Nugget from the pool. |
Category Based |
Brings a random visible Nugget from the category chosen in Category combo box. |
Single Nugget |
Brings always the selected single Nugget |
Also, there's an additional combo box called "Except For". This works only in "Full Random" mode. If you choose Full Random mode, and choose a category from "Except For" combo box, the Slot chooses a random Nugget from the pool, except from the ones residing in this exception category.
Here are some rules about the choosing engine ;
The engine never shows duplicate Nuggets
If there's not enough appropriate Nuggets due to your choices, the engine leaves the Slot blank
The "Single Nugget" slots have the the priority over "Category Based" . In fact, the hierarchy is
Single Nugget > Category Based > Full Random.
If you have plenty of Nuggets, this hierarchy doesn't have any importance.
The Preview box displays only one Slot. This behaviour is implemented for keeping the settings page compact.
