Im trying to override the article layout for articles showing in the category blog layout. I have overriden the blog.php file from the folder components/com_content/views/category/tmpl into mytemplate/html/com_content/category, but this only overrides the category blog layout, not the layout of the actual articles.
The bit i need to override is the bit that loads inside here,
<article class="leading-<?php echo $leadingcount; ?><?php echo $item->state == 0 ? ' system-unpublished' : null; ?>" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting">
<?php
$this->item = & $item;
echo $this->loadTemplate('item');
?>
</article>
Any ideas how to do this without overriding every article on the site.
Thanks.
you should override this file:
components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_item.php

You need to create another template over for the single article view. Place files to override from here:
components/com_content/views/articles/tmpl/
In here:
templates/myTemplate/html/com_content/article/
You can keep the names the same and every Article will use this template to render, or you can rename and manually assign the template to individual articles as needed.
Some links on the details on template overrides.

Try to override the following tmpl files :"category/blog_item.php", "category/default_articles.php" and "article/default.php"

I have a Joomla site, and I want to remove a the footer div from a page without it affecting it on the other pages. Please is there a way I can do it.
You have a couple options - you should be able to set additional CSS on that article to hide the particular footer div for that one individual page without issue.
Additionally you could install a plugin like Sourcerer that allows for PHP coding directly into articles in Joomla! (which comes in REALLY handy!); then you could remove it programmatically as well if necessarily.
Alternatively - you could create a template override for that particular template/page and edit the PHP there to reflect appropriate course of action for that URL/Page.
I tried to list them in order of easiest to most difficult.
It´s not a clean method to hide template-elements by using CSS (display:none). And for your intension you dont´t need a external plugin.
Try a page-option in your template index.php.
First - to get page-options work:
<?php $pageoption1 = JRequest::getVar( 'Itemid', '' ); $pageoption2 = JRequest::getVar( 'page', '' ); $pageoption3 = JRequest::getVar( 'option', '' ); ?>
And further:
<?php if ($pageoption1 == '1') { ?>
This text will be visible only in the page with Menu Item ID 1
<?php } ?>
This works lately in Joomla 2.5.X - for newer version i think it will also work fine.
I want to group and show in different popup product custom options on frontend on product view page. So I want to give specific class to every product option from backend.
refernce from here
I have use this code but this is giving custom class options only for text-box type options, I want custom class to all type of product options.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
Something I've used before (although I admit, does not look like a very neat way of doing it) is this in the catalog/product/view/options.phtml:
$search = 'product-custom-option';
$replace = 'product-custom-option form-control';
<?php foreach($_options as $_option): ?>
<?php echo str_replace($search, $replace, $this->getOptionHtml($_option)); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Where the css class 'form-control' was the one I wanted to add.
[EDIT]
In that case, one solution I can think of is this:
Create a system.xml where you can add the CSS classes for the various option types
Create a helper class for retrieving the saved CSS classes
Edit the catalog/product/view/options/type/*.phtml files in your theme where you add the CSS classes by using the helper.
Would that work for you?
I have added some tags and linked these to an article. On the front end the tags appear on top (i.e. before) the article text. Instead I would like to display them at the bottom (i.e. after) the article.
I assume I have to make an override of layouts/joomla/content/tags.php
Create a Template Override for the following file:
components/com_content/views/tmpl/default.php
Once done, open this file in your override location and go to line 157 and you will see the following:
<?php if ($params->get('show_tags', 1) && !empty($this->item->tags)) : ?>
<?php $this->item->tagLayout = new JLayoutFile('joomla.content.tags'); ?>
<?php echo $this->item->tagLayout->render($this->item->tags->itemTags); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Move this section of code somewhere futher down in the file to suit your needs
Hope this helps
This can be easily achieved by simply changing the Position Of Article Info to "Below" in Options Tab in Joomla Menu. The Joomla menu has to be of Type "Article"
No need to create any override.
Hope this helps.
See attached screenshot.
I would like to retrieve the categories of my website in order to build me own Category menu.
but I don't understand how to get all the categories from the class/model. So I've created a file called top.phtml that I've put in template/catalog/navigation ,
First, do I MUST put that name to the file into that folder if I want to create a top Menu ? Can t I decide where to put it with the name I want like TopMenu.phtml ? Because in evry tut I red, they are doing the same way ..
Second : What i the function I must call ? I've been here : http://www.magentix.fr/ergonomie-web/agencer-page-accueil-site-magento.html but the way the do that doesn t work for me .. I add that code to my file top.phtml properly called in the page.xml :
<div class="category-list" style="background-color:white;">
<h2>Nos produits</h2>
<?php
foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category):
if($_category->getIsActive()):
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->setCurrentCategory($_category);
?>
<div class="category-list-view">
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category)?>" title="<?php echo $_category->getName()?>">
<img src="<?php echo $this->getCurrentCategory()->getImageUrl(); ?>" alt="<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>" />
</a>
<h3><?php echo $_category->getName()?></h3>
</div>
<?php
endif;
endforeach;
?>
</div>
Last : where could I find a clear user guide like there is for CodeIgniter ? I found that, but I never found any answer on it : http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/doc/webservices-api/api#magento_core_api
Thanks for your answers, I m a web dev used to work with CodeIgniter or without any template, and I can t clearly see the logic behind Magento way of programming.
EDIT: Is there anything to do with the categories ? Becaue I tried to create a sub category under the Default Category and it do work, but if I create a new Root Category,It simply didnt recognize it .. why

You can name your template file whatever you like. However, it's best to follow the nomenclature and established conventions. The template filename is contingent on your layout XML. It should have the template attribute, something like <block name="x" type="x/y" template="catalog/navigation/topmenu.phtml" /> (for example).
Second : What i the function I must call ? I've been here : http://www.magentix.fr/ergonomie-web/agencer-page-accueil-site-magento.html but the way the do that doesn t work for me
The functions available to your template (topmenu.phtml file) depend on the block's type. In your layout XML, you should specify the block type that corresponds to the functionality you need. In your case, you're probably looking for the block type to be catalog/navigation. If you look in ./app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php, you can see what public methods are available to your template. Several of the methods here facilitate generating (nested) category listing. This is where your getStoreCategories() method comes from. Remember that these blocks inherit from several parenting classes, so you have a lot more methods available than you may at first think.

That's a link to the Magento API. What you need is a tutorial on Magento layout XML and the design layer therein. The Magento wiki has some good info, but Google around and you'll find a ton of really helpful resources on understanding Magento's design system.
Is there anything to do with the categories ? Becaue I tried to create a sub category under the Default Category and it do work, but if I create a new Root Category,It simply didnt recognize it .. why
A root category is what you'll use to identify the basis of the catalog for the selected store(s). You will never see the root category appear on the frontend (and you shouldn't). Each subcategory within the root category is the top-level category; sub-categories beneath those subcategories (tertiary categories) would appear as your "second-level" categories on the Magento frontend. You might want to look into Magento's GWS ("global, website, store") scope system, and how it manages catalog data in a multi-store setup to better understand why root categories function this way.
Hope this helps!
On the page I edit modules constitute the main page. Actually there is no need for any component out there.
I can't remove jdoc from the template because other part of the site requires it.
I wonder what is the best solution for the problem: for main page I need one template but for others another.
As far I have worked with joomla internals almost never with back-end so I guess my knowledge lack in this department.
Any hint how to achieve that?
You can do something in your template like:
<?php
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() != $menu->getDefault()) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<?php endif; ?>
Which will disable the component position when on the default [home] page
