TechDivision.Card - Cards for structuring information

Use this package if you

• only want the very basic card features
• know how to apply css classes and styling on your own

Cards are one of the primary means of structuring information on a website clearly, distinctly and mobile-friendly. They actually are the modern way of what has been called "teaser", "box" et al. in the past. This package integrates cards into neos in a way that is easy to use and splitted into some packages, so that you only have to install what you need.

For editors

When installed, TechDivision.Card comes with two new NodeTypes - and a new editing mode.

Content Cards

Content Cards are plain content NodeTypes. They are not for reuse but have a card look and feel. It can be used e.g. to show different product features.

Document Cards

Document Cards are basically references to other pages and are highly reusable.
You cannot edit information here, but in the document itself.
This can be easily used to improve in-site-navigation by putting together document cards that introduce your products and link to them on different places within your website - but keep your data centralized.

Social Cards

Social Cards are links to other websites that carry either opengraph or twittercard meta information.
The card will display an image, title and description and link over to the page.
We do not set target _blank, but we do add a noopener attribute if you plan to add a target yourself.
You can easily use this to link to newspapers, github or other pages connected with your website.

Card Mode

In order to edit your cards, there is a new editing mode where you can preview your document card in different sizes.

For Developers

Installation

TechDivision.Card is available via packagist. Add "techdivision/card" : "~1.0" to the require section of the composer.json or run composer require techdivision/card.
This only installs the very basic card features. If you dont know what you do, we recommend using one of the other card packages instead.

Configuration

There is not much to configure, as TechDivision.Card runs out of the box. A few options are:

NodeTypes Diagramm

This is an overview over the NodeTypes and how they work together:

Adding/Removing the CardMixin

By default, we add the Mixin to Neos.NodeTypes:Page - so that you can start working.
If you do not want this behavior, use the following code:

Neos.NodeTypes:Page:
  superTypes:
    'TechDivision.Card:CardMixin': false

If you have your own Document NodeType, add the Mixin as follows:

Your.Awesome.Package:SpecialDocumentNode:
  superTypes:
    'TechDivision.Card:CardMixin': true
    'TechDivision.Card:Constraint.Card.Document': true

The NodeType TechDivision.Card:Constraint.Card.Document is used for references and other constraints.

Add your own CardMode stylesheets

The CardMode contains very basic styling. Feel free to add your own:

prototype(TechDivision.Card:CardModePage) {
    head.stylesheets.cardModeStylesheet.stylesheet.path = 'resource://Your.Awesome.Package/Public/Styles/CardMode.css'
}

Develop your own styles

We added a set of afx-augmenters that you can use to easily change card styles.
Best practice is to create your own package that overrides styles and components as you need.
Put your techdivision/card* dependencies into that package's composer.json.
