Options Board

A simple management dashboard module. Displays buttons that link to service URLs, help documents, or opens an image in a modal. options_index.dat is the index file used: each line is a button config. The first value on the line in the options_index.dat is the image shown. The second value on the line of the options_index.dat file is the caption. The third value on the line of the options_index.dat file determines the action. There is an icon in the top right of the image-wrapper for each button that indicates the action: An arrow pointing up means it displays an image in the modal, an arrow pointing right means it opens a URL in the same browser window, and an arrow pointing to the top right means it opens a URL in a new window.

  • If there is nothing for the third value - the button image is loaded into a model to view.
  • If the third value is an image name - that value is loaded into the modal (good for screen captures).
  • Everything else is treated as a link. By default links will open in the same browser window: add an ! before the URL name in the options_index.dat to have it open the URL in a new browser window.
