HOWTO:CreateANewArticle

Prerequisites

To be able to insert Screenshots into a Wiki page, the raw data of the lecture you want to use has to be assigned in the Electure Portal. If its not already done, please ask the maintainer of the course in the Electure Portal. You will see that its not done, when you try to select an electure and the last select in the popup (see below) has no values.

Inserting a screenshot from an electure

First view the Article to edit, then click on Edit/Seite bearbeiten.

When editing an article, a toolbar will appear above the edit-field:

Place your cursor in the article where you want the screenshot to appear later.

Klick the L-Icon

to display a popup:

In this popup first select the Institute, then the semester, course (Vorlesung), chapter (Kapitel), subchapter (Unterkapitel). Then it might happen, that the last select for the recording (Aufzeichnung) is empty (see Prerequisites). If not, choose the corresponding recording from which you want to display a screenshot.

Then you you have to choose to either select the screenshot by time (Zeitpunkt) or by slide number (Foliennummer). Start and End specify the start and end time/slide for which screenshots will be generated. Additionaly you can specify the size of the screenshot (default is 720x540 pixels).

After clicking on Submit (Abschicken) a list of screenshots you can choose from will appear after some time:

By selecting start or end of the slide you can choose if you want the fully annotated (end) or usually blank (start) screenshot of the slide.

Clicking on

will add a tag to the wiki:

<lect>electure=9b17f8cc328e598a179e04643462233 size=720x540 thumb=350x350 time=0:37:26.629 align=center</lect>

  • the elecure attribute references the electure in the portal, this is very important. You can get this electureId in the URL in the Electure Portal when clicking on a chapter title.
  • the size attribute specifies the size of the screenshot which will be generated. Additionally you can specify the thumb atrribute - this specifies the size of the screenshot in the article. If both are specified the size attribute size will be used when you click on the image in the article to display it in full size.
  • time is the time from which the screenshot of the lecture is taken.
  • align specifies the alignment of the image in the wiki-article (can be left, right or center just as in HTML.

Of course you can specify all this parameters manually and not use the popup. Just insert the appropriate

<lect>
Tag.
