Header Templates

Introduction

Header templates are html files with some macros in it. These files can be used as header menu in the maps. The header templates are located at share/userfiles/templates/pages/ relative to the nagvis root directory. The templates are named like this: *.header.html.
Since NagVis 1.5 the template format has been changed to be more flexible. Therefore all templates need to be recoded to be NagVis 1.5 compatible.

Macros

{foreach $maps map}

{/foreach}
A list of all maps defined in NagVis. The code between {foreach $maps map} and {/foreach} is repeated for each map. For an example have a look at share/userfiles/templates/pages/default.header.html.

Within the BEGIN/END-Tags the following macros are available:
* {$map.mapName} (Was [map_name]): Name of the map
* {$map.mapAlias} (Was [map_alias]): Alias of the map
* {$map.permittedEdit}: Is the user permitted to edit this map?
{foreach $langs lang}
{$lang.language}
{/foreach}
A list of all languages available to the users in NagVis. The code between {foreach $langs lang} and {/foreach} is repeated for each language. For an example have a look at share/userfiles/templates/pages/default.header.html.

* {$lang.language}: Internal name of the language
* {$lang.classUnderline}: Underline the language
* {$lang.langLanguageLocated}: Located name of the language.
{if $viewType == 'Map' || $viewType == 'Automap'} To be more flexible in the templates we added some sort of if statements. These can be used as in native PHP. For an example have a look at share/userfiles/templates/pages/default.header.html.
