Options

You may set the PTLINKED Plugin options with new ptlinkedLibrary(element, options). If you want to change the global default options, You may use $el.ptlinkedLibrary(option, key, value).

api_key (required)

  • Type: String
  • Default: ''

A valid API Key must be provided during initialization of the plugin. The API Key is a hash string generated by PTLINKED. This API Key is essential for this plugin to work as it will provide authorization to use the PTLINKED API in order to request and receive the PTLINKED exercise program content.

api_root_url (required)

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'https://api-{deployment_name}.ptlinked.com'

The base (root) URI for the PTLINKED API must be supplied as an option during initialization of the plugin. PTLINKED will provide this along with the API Key.

app_root_url (required)

  • Type: string
  • Default: ''

The URL of the web page that the plugin will be initialized on must be specified during the plugin initialization. The purpose of this URL is to display a direct link to exercise programs within your website or application, typically found on the printed handouts.

user_uid (required)

  • Type: string
  • Default: 0

This option allows you to specify a unique user identifier for the currently logged in user. This option supports both an integer or string value, as long as its unique to each specific user.

user_type (required)

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'patient'

This option will allow you to specify the type of user who is using the plugin. The purpose of this is to allow functionality control over certain aspects of the plugin based on the type of user using it. For example, a user type Physician will need the ability to Send exercise programs to their patients. Whereas a user type patient will not need that functionality.

video_bg

  • Type: string
  • Default: white

This option will tell the plugin which background color version of the exercise videos to use. The default is white with the ability to set as either blue or grey.

header_element_class (required)

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'site-header'

This option allows you to define the web page header wrapper class name. The header, in this situation, refers to the visual HTML header at the top of the webpage (i.e. logo and primary menu header bar). This option is essential because the plugin uses the header wrapper element to calculate the plugin content display wrapper height. Without specifying this, there will be issues with the vertical scrollbar within the library content area. If the webpage header has multiple header elements that are not wrapped under one DOM element, you can specify multiple class names by seperating them with a coma (i.e. 'primary-site-header,secondary-site-header').

viewer_header_element_class

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'viewer--header'

This option is for the exercise program viewer overlay. You should not need to change this value unless you're using a custom HTML/CSS for the viewer overlay.

viewer_thumb_scroller_class

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'viewer--header_bar'

As with the previous option, this should not be changed. It is used to calculate the scroll area height for the exercise program viewer overlay.

dialog_box_type

  • Type: string
  • Default: 'jquery'
  • Options:
    • 'jquery': Use jQuery UI dialog boxes. When using this option, the plugin iteself will trigger the jQuery dialog box.
    • 'hook': Setting this value will not trigger any dialog box from within the plugin. Instead, it will trigger a callback function onShowDialog with a data object containing the title, content, and button configuration. This will allow you to hook the dialog box calls and display anytype of dialog box framework/component your site or application is using.

save_favorites

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Options:
    • true: Enable the Save to Favorites button on the exercise program viewer. For this option to work, user_uid and user_type must be set during initialization.
    • false: Disabled the Save to Favorites button on the exercise program viewer.

secure_messaging

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Options:
    • true: Enable the Send Exercise Program button on the exercise program viewer. For this option to work, user_uid and user_type must be set during initialization.
    • false: Disabled the Send Exercise Program button on the exercise program viewer.

training_mode

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Options:
    • true: When this option is enabled, the plugin will provide all functionality, however, no user specific data will be committed to the database. This includes Saved to Favorites, Usage Tracking, Sending Exercise Programs. This mode is intended to help train new users with the need to clear the data afterwards.
    • false: Turn training mode off, so any modified data will be committed to the database.

debug_mode

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Options:
    • true: When this option is enabled, debug information will be outputted to the browser console. This should only be enabled in sandbox enviornments, prior to production launch.
    • false: This will disable the console output for the plugin.
