    • Configuring “URL pre-sets” (TSconfig)
    • URL presets are simply URL masks into which the value of the “URL part” field is inserted. Editors can select a preset by it’s menu label in the back-end form. URL pre-sets serve different purposes. They can be used to provide a simpler input method (example: “choose ‘Course information’ and enter course ID”) instead of having the user construct a complicated URL. In case a source’s URL changes, only the TSconfig needs to be updated; and content elements will use the new URL. The administrator can use “secret” parameters in a source URL without revealing them to regular users, or restrict remote sources to trusted domains (white list).
    • The URL pre-sets are available in the drop-down menu “URL pre-sets”. You can supply them by adding a list named “mod.web_txcurlcontentM1.uurlPresets” to the TSconfig of the page (or a parent page). Each line of the list holds four values, separated by the pipe character “|”:
