<h1 class="page-title">The Show Art Module</h1>
<h2 id="the-show-art-module">The Show Art Module</h2>
<p>The built in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">show_art</code> module add some advanced ways in which you can configure your system to display art assets beyond what a standard menu entry can provide. For example, based on user selection of a file or message base area.</p>
<h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2>
<h3 id="config-block">Config Block</h3>
<p>Available <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config</code> block entries:</p>
<ul>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">method</code>: Set the method in which to show art. See <strong>Methods</strong> below.</li>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">optional</code>: Is this art required or optional? If non-optional and we cannot show art based on <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">method</code>, it is an error.</li>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">key</code>: Used for some <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">method</code>s. See <strong>Methods</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="methods">Methods</h3>
<h4 id="extra-args">Extra Args</h4>
<p>When <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">method</code> is <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">extraArgs</code>, the module selects an <em>art spec</em> from a value found within <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">extraArgs</code> that were passed to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">show_art</code> by <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">key</code>. Consider the following:</p>
<p>Given an <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">menu.hjson</code> entry:</p>
<pre><code class="language-hjson">showWithExtraArgs: {
module: show_art
config: {
method: extraArgs
key: fooBaz
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>If the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">showWithExtraArgs</code> menu was entered and passed <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">extraArgs</code> as the following:</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nl">"fizzBang"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kc">true</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nl">"fooBaz"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"LOLART"</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre></div></div>
<p>…then the system would use the <em>art spec</em> of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LOLART</code>.</p>
<h4 id="area--conferences">Area &amp; Conferences</h4>
<p>Handy for inserting into File Base, Message Conferences, or Mesage Area selections selections. When <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">method</code> is <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">fileBaseArea</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageConf</code>, or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageArea</code> the selected conf/area’s associated <em>art spec</em> is utilized. Example:</p>
<p>Given a file base entry in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-hjson">areas: {
all_ur_base: {
name: All Your Base
desc: chown -r us ./base
art: ALLBASE
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>A menu entry may look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-hjson">showFileBaseAreaArt: {
module: show_art
config: {
method: fileBaseArea
cls: true
pause: true
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>…if the user choose the “All Your Base” area, the <em>art spec</em> of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ALLBASE</code> would be selected and displayed.</p>
<p>The only difference for <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageConf</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageArea</code> methods are where the art is defined (which is always next to the conf or area declaration in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>).</p>
<p>While <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">key</code> can be overridden, the system uses <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">areaTag</code> for message/file area selections, and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">confTag</code> for conference selections by default.</p>
