Customizing the Submission section

In your Submission section, there are three categories by default, each with a title and a predefined description:
- "Post a picture"
- "Post a video"
- "Post your text"

With API Access, it is possible to personalize the Submit section:
- Personalize the title and the description of a category
- Delete one or more categories

To do this, first activate the JSON Edition extension from the Extensions Store. 
This option is free with the Full Android, PWA, or iOS Native Premium subscription, or an extra $4/month with the Standard Android or PWA-only subscriptions. 

Once the API Access add-on has been activated, open the left drop-down menu Design & Structure > Structure > Sections > Submission section where the JSON tab will now appear. 

 

In the JSON tab, click the "+" next to "Services" to see the drop-down options. 

You will see three numerical arrays: 0, 1, and 2.
Display the drop-down options for these as well to show the type of sections: photo, video, and article.

To personalize the title of a category, add the property "title" under the concerned object.

For example, to personalize the category title "Post a photo".  Click Add property under the array 0 (of the type "photo"), fill in the "title", and then click OK. 

In the empty field next to the "title" property, fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application.

To personalize the description, add a new property by clicking on Add property, then fill in the "description" and click OK. Do the same for the title. Fill in the text that you would like to be displayed in your application. 

Be careful to not put in a text that is too long. Verify with the back office preview that the display of your new text in your application looks good.

To edit the icon of a category in the Submit section, you need to replace the icon URLs of the category. 

Your icon has to be a .png file, white (FFFFFF) on a transparent background and must have the following dimensions:
- For the imageUrl property: 122x122 pixels
- For the iphone6plus property: 183 x 183 pixels 

Your icon file must be stored externally on a website or in the File Manager (backend Settings > My Files ) and you must copy and paste its URL in the JSON menu of the Submit section to replace the existing icon URLs. 

When you are done, save your changes at the bottom of the page. 

To delete a category in the Submit section, select the corresponding array number.

For example: if you would like to delete the category "Post your text", select array 2 with the "article" type  in the Services tab. Drop down all of the sub-menus and delete each field under array 2 one by one finishing by array 2 itself. 

Don't forget to save your changes at the bottom of the page once you are done.

To apply the changes in the native and PWA version, update the modifications in the left menu Publish > Update > Changelog.
