Customizing the Submission Section
In your Submission section, there are three categories by default, each with a title and a predefined description:
- "Post a picture"
- "Post a video"
- "Post your text"
With API Access, it is possible to personalize the Submit section:
- Personalize the title and the description of a category
- Delete one or more categories
Once the API Access add-on has been activated, open the left drop-down menu Design & Structure > Structure > Sections > Submission section where the JSON tab will now appear.
In the JSON tab, click the "+" next to "Services" to see the drop-down options.
You will see three numerical arrays: 0, 1, and 2.
Display the drop-down options for these as well to show the type of sections: photo, video, and article.
For example, to personalize the category title "Post a photo". Click Add property under the array 0 (of the type "photo"), fill in the "title", and then click OK.
In the empty field next to the "title" property, fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application.
To personalize the description, add a new property by clicking on Add property, then fill in the "description" and click OK. Do the same for the title. Fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application.
Be careful to not put in a text that is too long. Verify with the back office preview that the display of your new text in your application looks good.
To edit the icon of a category in the Submit section, you need to replace the icon URLs of the category.
Your icon has to be a .png file, white (FFFFFF) on a transparent background, and must have the following dimensions:
- For the imageUrl property: 122x122 pixels
- For the iphone6plus property: 183 x 183 pixels
Your icon file must be stored externally on a website or in the File Manager (backend Settings > My Files) and you must copy and paste its URL in the JSON menu of the Submit section to replace the existing icon URLs.
When you are done, save your changes at the bottom of the page.
For example: if you would like to delete the category "Post your text", select array 2 with the "article" type in the Services tab. Drop down all of the sub-menus and delete each field under array 2 one by one finishing with array 2 itself.
Don't forget to save your changes at the bottom of the page once you are done.
