kabaret.flow_button_pages

A collection of custom_page widgets to use in your flow, as well as an extended Home page showing thumbnail/icon and color for your Projects.

Button Home

The Button Home extends the default Home page will a few options.

Right click on an empty space on the Home page to access the Admin area. You will find the default Home with additional Home Settings:

• Show Status: Will show the Project status below its name.
• Show Archived: Will hide archived Project unless checked.
• Button Height: Height of each Project button.
• Default Thumbnail: Defines the thumbnail to use when no thumbnail is set on a Project.

As well as the Project Settings. You can edit them here, or with a right click on a Project button -> Configure

• Color: use an hex color here, it will change the button text color.
• Thumbnail: Define the thumbnail to show on the button. You can use:
  • A file path (! avoid backslashes !)
  • A data uri. This will embed the image in the database. You can use Chrome Developers Tools to get it from an image.
  • A classic kabaret resource identifier like ('icons.gui', 'start')

In order to create a new Project or edit a Project status, you still need to use the classic controls (The actions are in the Admin area's Projects Map).

Usage

In your Session class, override the _create_actor() method to create a Flow actor using ButtonHomeRoot as custom home root:

      from kabaret.app.ui import gui
      from kabaret.app.actors.flow import Flow
      from kabaret.flow_button_pages import ButtonHomeRoot

      class MySession(gui.KabaretStandaloneGUISession):
      
          def _create_actors(self):
              Flow(self, CustomHomeRootType=ButtonHomeRoot)

That's it ! \o/
