AIE JS updates for Hotspot

We have introduced a new interactive module called AIE hotstpot. This module is used for adding interactive hotspot on certain areas or headlines of the newspapers/magazines or any images.

The newspaper or magazine images are used one image per one section. The image is resized proportionally based on the device screen size.

2. Open the document in Writer.
3. Navigate to the section in which you want to insert the AIE Hotspot.
4. Keep the cursor on a blank line in the section.
5. From the Content Blocks accordian, select the "G04: AIE Interactive" from the dropdown list

       a. 14 Hotspot Image
       b. 15 Hotspot Overlay
       c. 16 Hotspot Popup
7. Double click on the "14 Hotspot Image".
8. This will insert a "Hotspot Image" content block, containing a "Hotspot Overlay" within it, at the cursor position in the section of the writer.
9. In the "Hotspot Overlay" content block, you can insert text in the empty line, if you want to see readable text on the hotspot overlay element in the output.
10. Next you need to insert the "Hotspot Popup" content block for the content you want to popup, when clicked on the "Hotspot Overlay" Image.

    2. Double click on the "16 Hotspot Popup".

12. Now if you view the content in the Reader pane, you will see the Hotspot image and a Hotspot overlay box over it. Clicking on the box will popup the content that was inserted in the "Hotspot Popup" content block.
13. The Overlay and the Popup work together, by referencing the "ID" value of Popup block, in the "data-hotspotref" value of the Overlay block.
14. Launch the CSS Editor, and click on the "Reader" button to navigate to Reader CSS.
15. From the left navigation dashboard, click on "Genre", and then click on "G04 AIE Interactive".

Instructions for inserting another Hotspot block

1. In case another instance of Hotspot Image block needs to be inserted in the section, make sure to change the "ID" value of the Popup block and reference the same ID value in the "data-hotspotref" value in the Overlay blocks, so that they are unique ID's accross all Hotspot blocks.
2. For accessing the ID value of the Popup block, expand the content block tools of the Popup block and click on ID. This will popup the Block Reference ID window with the ID value as 'hspopup1' as default. For eg. change this value to 'hspopup2' and click the OK button.
3. For accessing the data-hotspotref of the Overlay block, expand the content block tools of the Overlay block and click on P. This will popup the Properties Editor window with the data-hotspotref value as 'hspopup1' as default. Change this value to 'hspopup2' and click the Update button.
4. Once done, click on Save button to save your work.

Instructions for manipulating the Hotspot Image and Overlay block

1. When a Hotspot Image block is inserted, by default a predefined metrics value is set.
2. For accessing the metric values, expand the content block tools of the Overlay block and click on P. This will popup the Properties Editor window, which has the data-metrics values set as 'iw:500,ih:333,lo:44,to:120,bw:118,bh:112' by default.
3. Details of the data-metrics are explained below
      iw = image width (width of the original image)
      ih = image height (height of the original image)
      bw = box width (width of the hotspot area)
      bh = box height (height of the hotspot area)
      to = top offset (top offset from the image top)
      lo = left offset (left offset from the image left)
