Scout Units List

This plugin allows you to create a structure of units which are dependent on main one and then present it inside page or post using variety of shortcodes equipped with customizable templates.

Showing units list

Add [sul-units-list id="X"] shortcode, where X is an ID of a base unit. You can use also other attributes:

• class (string) – allows to add CSS class,
• current (boolean, false as a default value) – allows to show/hide current unit on a list,
• external (boolean, false as a default value) – decides if structure should be receive from external source (if so, external source URL in configuration should be defined),
• levels (integer, 1 as a default value) – allows to define number of levels with dependent units,
• types (empty as a default value) – allows to define list of types (separated by comma) which have to be showed.

To define your own template create scout-units-list directory in your current theme directory (or define other directory in configuration form) and then create there UnitsList.phtml, UnitsList-Y.phtml or UnitsList-X.phtml file where Y is a type and X is an ID of a base unit. To customize template of dependent units level you have to create in the same location UnitsListLevel.phtml, UnitsListLevel-Y.phtml or UnitsListLevel-X.phtml file as well. To know how to access units data please check default templates in View/Shortcodes directory.

Showing persons list

Add [sul-persons-list id="X"] shortcode, where X is an ID of a base unit. You can use also other attributes:

• class (string) – allows to add CSS class,
• external (boolean, false as a default value) – decides if structure should be receive from external source (if so, external source URL in configuration should be defined).

To define your own template create scout-units-list directory in your current theme directory (or define other directory in configuration form) and then create there PersonsList.phtml, PersonsList-Y.phtml or PersonsList-X.phtml file where Y is a type and X is an ID of a base unit. To know how to access units data please check default template in View/Shortcodes directory.
