Advanced Setup Wizards

From $1

The Advanced Setup Wizard is a tool for designing Wildfire interface and configuring its functionality. The Advanced Setup Wizard generates a complete integration code that you may integrate in your project. The Advanced Setup Wizards are similar to the Standard Setup Wizards but with many more customization options, giving you complete control over Wildfire interface design.

This document discusses customizing and configuring Wildfire using one of the Advanced Setup Wizards.

There are two "Advanced Setup" Wizards available:

Both wizards have the same structure and logic, but produce code in different languages. This page discuses both wizards, however the screen-shots taken from the "Wildfire in Page" Advanced Wizard.

  

The general structure and usage of the Advanced Wizard is similar to the Standard one. This document discusses the additions of the Advanced Wizard to the Standard one.

We recommend going over the following two guides prior to reading this guide:

  • The Quick Start section is a guide for integrating standard Wildfire in your site \ widget using the Standard Setup Wizard. The guide includes a working example and a "walk through" the integration process.
  • The Standard Setup Wizards page the basic customization options available using the Standard Setup Wizards. 

 

Customizing Wildfire Look and Feel

The Advanced Setup gives you a complete control over the graphical design of Wildfire. You are given the option to tweak every element in the Wildfire window, altering sizes, fonts, colors, gradient colors, borders, etc.

 

The middle part of the advanced setup page shows an hierarchical tree of objects that correspond to UI elements inside Wildfire:

Wildfire uses an hierarchical configuration model where child nodes inherit the relevant configuration settings from their parents. The hierarchical model means that settings you change in a parent node will be automatically inherited by all child nodes of that parent, unless they are specifically overridden at the child node level.

The editor allows you to customize the look and feel of Wildfire while letting you keep the default settings where they do not require modifications.

 

Parameter Status

At the right side of each parameter in the Advanced Wizards you will find a label showing the parameter's status.

For example, in the screen shot below:

AdvancedSetupWizards-ParameterStatus.gif 

The status may be one of the following:

Default

The current value of this parameter is the default value, given by gigya. This is an 'out of the box' status, when you change the value of this parameter, the status will become "Changed".

Not set

This parameter has no value. This is an 'out of the box' status, when you change the value of this parameter, the status will become "Changed".

Inherited from

Some parameters inherit their values from an ancestor component. In this case the status includes the endowing ancestor component.

For example (see in the above screen shot): "Inherited from body", "Inherited from controls".

This is an 'out of the box' status, when you change the value of this parameter, the status will become "Changed".

Changed

The current value of this parameter is a value given by the user ('changed' by the user, and is no longer the default). When the status of a parameter is "Changed", a "Restore" link appears at the right hand (see example in the screen-shot above). Clicking the "Restore" link, restores the value of the parameter to its 'out of the box' value. The parameter's status is also restored to its 'out of the box' status, which may be one of the three options: "Default", "Not Set" or "Inherited from <a parent>".

 

Import and Export Themes

The Import \ Export Theme buttons (which are located in the middle of the Wizard) are used when you already have wildfire integrated in your project, and you want to make modifications in your Wildfire configuration.

These buttons create an alternative for generating and integrating the entire code again. Instead of that, you may just replace the UIConfig XML in an existing integrated code.

  • Export Theme button - lets you copy the UIConfig XML generated by the Wizard, and manually paste it into your existing code, replacing old configuration.
  • Import Theme button - lets you load your own UIConfig XML into the Wizard, by pasting your current UIConfig parameter content from your existing code. This will initialize the editor with your current configuration which you have created in the past. You may then use the editor to tweak your current configuration and save the changes (using the Export Theme button).
  • Reset Theme button - will reset your configuration changes to Wildfire default values.
