! Pretty Tracker HowTo A "((Pretty Tracker))" is a prettier way to list (or input) your ((Tracker)) data. To create a "((Pretty Tracker))" in Tiki you need: * One ((Tracker)) with at least one field * One ((Wiki)) page with ((PluginTrackerlist)) (to list the data) or define a template directly in the Tracker (or a Wiki page with ((PluginTracker)) to input the data to a Tracker using a pretty formatted form) * One template which tells how the data (or input fields) should be formatted (can be a Wiki page or *.tpl file) Here's step by step guide (using the TrackerList wikiplugin and a Wiki page as a template): # __Create a Tracker__ and note the Tracker ID and then __create some field__(s) for it and note the Field(s) ID(s) (name the Tracker for example "__Fruit__" and the created field(s) can be "__Fruit Name__" of type text input, etc.) # __Insert some new [Adding-items-to-a-tracker|Tracker Items] there__ after creating the Tracker, e.g. three items: Apple, Pear and Orange # __Create a Wiki page__ named "fruit_template" with at least one {$f_X}, for example: + {CODE()}__{$f_1}__ ---{CODE} + (Assuming the "Fruit Name" field has ID 1) # __Set the permissions__ for that template page to ''tiki_p_use_as_template'' and remove ''tiki_p_edit'' and ''tiki_p_view'' for Anonymous so your visitors cannot edit and view the template page # __Create another Wiki page__ "Fruit List" with%%%{CODE()}List of my Fruit: {trackerlist trackerId=1 wiki=fruit_template}{CODE} + (Assuming the "Fruit" Tracker has ID 1) As a result you should now see the three fruits listed in bold on the page "Fruit List" one under each other and divided by horizontal line according to the template: List of my Fruit: __Apple__ --- __Pear__ --- __Orange__ --- That's it ! :) For more details see ((Pretty Tracker)) page.
