Republish - Node Content in an overlay

Republish Module allows administrators to provide a Republish button for the end user to republish the content of a node in an overlay. When end user clicks on republish button provided, a popup appears which contains node content as per configurations besides republish guidelines and instructions. End user can copy the html content provided in textarea of overlay and use that html to embed it into another website to republish.

Basically Republish Module provides feature to

show node content in an overlay/popup

. Republish module uses url context to detect node. The module is flexible enough for better usability. From republish button text to body of content to be republished everything is configurable.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO UNDERSTAND CONFIGURATIONS FIRSTLY BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION.

MODULE DETAILS

--------------
Republish module can be used in two ways:
1. Using Block - Simple
2. Using Ctools Plugin - Advanced

Republish - Using Block
Administrators can simply provide republish feature using block which can be sitewidely used with simple configurations. Once Republish module is enabled, block "Republish Block" is available for users which can be placed anywhere. Republish Block has various configurations for its usage which are described in configuration section above.

Republish - Using Ctools Plugin System.
Republish plugin is availabe as ctools plugin also. It is available under Widgets section, when you add the republish plugin there will be a configuration form for that plugin which has the same configurations as the block had. Be careful while using Republish Ctools Plugin, Republish Block and Republish Plugin are two different things, so while using plugin it is recommended todisable Republish Block.

Major Difference between Republish Block and Ctools Plugin.
* Each republish plugin used in website will have their independent settings while block will be site wide and hence has only single set of configurations.
* Republish block is useful when your website is having similar content type (means their fields are same). So that single block configuration works for all content types. While Republish plugin allows user to use the republish feature separately for each content type.

RECOMMENDED MODULES

-------------------

* CTOOLS
When enabled Republish module provides Republish Plugin available as ctools plugin under Widgets section. Republish plugin allows user to use the republish feature separately for each panel.

FAQ

---

Q: How can we show node content in republish overlay?

A: Republish overlay's Main body is configurable where node fields can be accessed as [node:field_name]. Generally we access [node:body].

Q: Can we use Republish block and Republish Ctools plugin at the same time.

A: No, although the buttons can be displayed for both block and ctool plugin on the node page but both will show same content in overlay. So it is recommended to disable the Republish Block when you are using Republish Ctools Plugin.

Q: Different content types have different fields how can I use same republish block for different content types.

A: It is not possible using Republish Block and hence we have provided Republish Ctools Plugin. Each Ctool Plugin would be using separate set of configurations.
