The modules are used to provide information of different types to the user. All enabled modules are displayed in the top menu bellow the Search input. The current version of ADEI by default implements:

• WiKi? module provides user-defined information about the system and previews of charts
• Graph module is a main ADEI component providing data plots and easy navigation
• Control module provides access to the control information

It is possible to register new modules providing additional system-specific information. For this, it is necessary to create module file in ADEI modules/ subdirectory. This file should include 3 mandatory methods (the module prefix should be replaced with actual module name. For example, for alarms module instead of $module_title, the $alarms_tittle should be used):

• The variable module_title contains the module name (as it should be shown to the users in menu):

$module_title = _("Title of the Module")

• The function moduleJS contains JavaScript? initialization code
• The function modulePage contains HTML code of the page

Since, the modules are normally dynamically updated during the ADEI execution. The real HTML context should not be set by modulesPage functions, but provided using services. The moduleJS function should initialize JavaScript? class which will take care of context updating.

When the module is ready it should be enabled in the configuration file config.php (or in the appropriate setup if it should be used optionally).

The ADEI includes several JavaScript? classes providing standard use-cases. They are described bellow.
