Open Y Activity Finder

Versions

There is currently 1 major version: 4. Open Y distribution prior 9.2.10.0 had ^3.1 || ^4.0 version constraint allowing you to choose which version you want to use depending on the project requirements.

Deprecations

Outdated implementations are not removed immediately allowing you to update your projects and migrate to new components without breaking your site pages. They are marked with [deprecated] notices in the next version and planned to be removed in the future releases.

New projects

All the new projects should get the latest available Open Y Activity Finder release.

Existing projects

You have a choice of either staying on the same version you use or to update to the next version. It depends on your project requirements and customizations. We recommend updating to the latest release if you have resources for it.

Update from version 3.x to version 4.x

Activity Finder is a complex functionality, it connects together many different pieces and might require additional steps to make it working. The list of actions below outlines the major steps to get Activity Finder updated to version 4.

• Update the codebase using composer command: composer require ycloudyusa/yusaopeny_activity_finder:"^4.0"
• Run database updates drush -y updb
  • Verify there were no errors and updates went fine
• Install the new "Open Y Paragraph Activity Finder" module, Machine name: openy_prgf_activity_finder_4: drush en openy_prgf_activity_finder_4
• Create new or update existing Landing Page with Activity Finder
• Add Activity Finder paragraph (replace the deprecated paragraph), configure it and save the page
  • Verify the page and Activity Finder functionality is working fine
• The previous version of Activity Finder used 2 landing pages with 2 paragraph types - one for wizard and another one for results - find and remove these pages
• Uninstall "OpenY Paragraph Activity Finder" module, Machine name: openy_prgf_activity_finder
• Uninstall "OpenY Paragraph Activity Finder Search" module, Machine name: openy_paragraph_activity_finder_search

Activity Finder block options

Title

A text field to display text that will displaying on top banner of the AF block

Limit by category

A reference field where you can select the categories to limit results by these categories

Exclude by category

A reference field where you can select the categories for which you don't want to display results

Legacy mode

A special mode for show some data as on previous version of AF.

What it provides:

• disables a bookmark functionality on the results screen
• doesn't display an age indicator in result card of activity
• changes the days + times wizard step. We can display only days of week, but not times of each day (doesn't support DaysTimes filter)

Hide Home Branch info block

• You can just hide block that related to Home Branch functionality (link to result for Home branch and count of results for this branch)

Background image

• An image field to upload the image for background of top banner of AF block

Limitations with using Daxko backend

• We can't use home branch functionality on start screen
• We have to use Legacy mode
• We can't display count of result for each age on the age's wizard step
• We can't display count of available spots for each activity, before user click by activity details
• Limited pager on results page. We can display only previous and next page link. And can't display count of pages

Trusted redirect host patterns

Activity Finder has a feature to track redirects to 3rd party systems. In order to control the URLs to redirect to you should use the trusted host patterns. This feature works similar to Drupal core trusted_host_patterns setting.

Example - add this section to the settings.php:

// Trusted hosts to redirect to for Activity Finder.
$settings['activity_finder_trusted_redirect_host_patterns'] = [
  '^apm\.activecommunities\.com$',
];

It is also recommended to disallow these paths in robots.txt:

# Activity Finder redirects
Disallow: /af/register-redirect/
Disallow: /index.php/af/register-redirect/

How to override processResults in Activity Finder

See openy_activity_finder.api.php

/**
 * Implements hook_activity_finder_program_process_results_alter().
 */
function custom_module_activity_finder_program_process_results_alter(&$data, NodeInterface $entity) {
  // Get formatted session data from some custom service.
  $formatted_session = \Drupal::service('ymca_class_page.data_provider')
    ->formatSessions([$entity], FALSE);
  $formatted_session = reset($formatted_session);

  // Fix pricing according to YMCA price customization.
  $data['price'] = '';
  if (!empty($formatted_session['prices'])) {
    foreach ($formatted_session['prices'] as $price) {
      $data['price'] .= implode(' ', $price) . '<br>';
    }
  }

  // Fix availability and registration according to YMCA customization.
  $messages = [
    'begun' => t('This class has begun.'),
    'will_open' => t('Registration for this class opens shortly. Please check back.'),
    'inperson' => t('Online registration is closed. Visit a YMCA branch to register.'),
    'included_in_membership' => t('Included in Membership'),
  ];

  if (isset($messages[$formatted_session['reg_state']])) {
    $data['availability_note'] = $messages[$formatted_session['reg_state']];
  }
}

How to add external functionality to analytics event

See openy_af4_vue_app/main.js

// Listen to a custom event to pass events in Google Analytics.
document.addEventListener('openy_activity_finder_event', (e) => {
  const { action, label, value, category } = e.detail

  if (window.gtag) {
    window.gtag('event', action, {
      event_category: category,
      event_label: label,
      value: value
    })
  } else if (window.ga) {
    window.ga('send', 'event', category, action, label, value)
  }
})

Example of custom event

document.addEventListener('openy_activity_finder_event', (e) => {
  const { action, label, value, category } = e.detail // Properties you can use for analitics.
  ...
  { your_functionality }
  ...
})

Add custom component in between of results

it allows flexibility in terms of results rendering for the developer:

          <ResultsList
            :results="data.table"
            :ages="ages"
            :selected-ages="selectedAges"
            :legacy-mode="legacyMode"
            :disable-spots-available="disableSpotsAvailable"
            @showActivityDetailsModal="showActivityDetailsModal($event)"
          />

can be changed to this:

          <ResultsList
            :results="data.table.slice(0, 2)"
            :ages="ages"
            :selected-ages="selectedAges"
            :legacy-mode="legacyMode"
            :disable-spots-available="disableSpotsAvailable"
            @showActivityDetailsModal="showActivityDetailsModal($event)"
          />
          <YGBWAds />
          <ResultsList
            :results="data.table.slice(2)"
            :ages="ages"
            :selected-ages="selectedAges"
            :legacy-mode="legacyMode"
            :disable-spots-available="disableSpotsAvailable"
            @showActivityDetailsModal="showActivityDetailsModal($event)"
          />

where YGBWAds is custom component to render custom content in between the results. See ymcatwincities#148
