Tone

Introduction

The Tone module provides editor supplied frontend variations (CSS) as content entities.

Caution: Allowing site users to inject frontend code is inherently dangerous. Every site where this module is in use needs to be audited carefully. It is recommended to restrict create/edit access to tone entities to trusted roles

Requirements

This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.

Recommended modules

• Inline Entity Form: When enabled, tone entities can be created, edited and deleted easily from within the referencing content entity.

Installation

• Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. Visit the Installing Modules documentation page for further information.

Configuration

• Configure the user permissions in Administration » People » Permissions:

  • Administer tone types

    Users with this permission will be able to create, edit, delete tone entity types.

    Note: this permission should only be granted to trusted roles.

  • Administer tones, Create tone, Edit tone, Delete tone

    Users with this permission will be able to create, edit, delete tone entities.

    Note: depending on the tone type configuration, this permission permits frontend code injection. In this case this permission should only be granted to trusted roles.

• Create and edit Tone Types in Administration » Structure » Tone types

  • Configure plugins which control how tone entities of a certain type are rendered and attached to the page.

  • Create fields which are used as source for user controlled values to be injected into the rendered source code.

• Attach tones to content types in Administration » Structure » Content types

  • Create entity references to tone types in order to allow editors to choose from a curated list of tones.

  • Alternatively use Inline Entity Forms on the tone entity reference field and allow editors to create, edit and delete tone entities from within the content edit form.

  • Manage displays and choose which tone reference gets attached for every configured view mode: Drag the Tone From X extra field from the Disabled section into the active area. Also ensure that a matching tone reference field is present in the active area and the field formatter is set to Rendered entity.
