I'm working on a Joomla! 2.5/3.x editor-xtd button and I have a problem loading a layout from file on button click.
I have tried this method:
$link = 'plugins/editors-xtd/myplugin/myplugin.layout.php?name='.$name;
$button = new JObject;
$button->modal = true;
$button->class = 'btn';
$button->link = $link;
$button->text = 'Insert something';
$button->name = 'myplugin';
$button->options = "{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 500, y: 300}}";
... but the full generated link in admin looks like http://my.local.host/mywebsite/administrator/plugins/editor-xtd/link-etc.. and it doesn't work. I also have tried including JURI::base in my $link, but the administrator path is still loaded.
I'm new in plugin dev with Joomla! and I have search a lot but no solution found.
** I also tried a link like this index.php?folder=plugins.editors-xtd.myplugin&file=myplugin.layout.php&name=$name but still nothing.
Is there a workout for this or I'll have to create&use a javascript function to run on button click?
Solution
Modify link variable like this (if application is admin):
$link = '../plugins/editors-xtd/myplugin/myplugin.layout.php?name='.$name;
... and delete button options (this means that file contents will be loaded via ajax inside modal)
Further more, in myplugin.layout.php we can add a little security check and we can import Joomla! framework library and defines so that we can make use of Joomla! framework in our file (things like language load for eg.)
This is my actual header of file:
<?php
// No direct access
define('IS_AJAX', isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest');
if( ! IS_AJAX) die;
// Include J!Framework for later use
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../..'));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE.DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php');
require_once ( JPATH_BASE.DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php');
//more magic goes here...
Unfortunately there is a bit of a gotcha here in that the JED checker process requires that ALL php files start with defined('_JEXEC') or die; on the very first line of code so if you want to share it on extensions.joomla.org then you are stymied...
Back on the OP you can detect whether you are in the Admin or Site before generating the link:
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
// ...
if ($app->isAdmin()) {
$root = '../'; // Joomla expects a relative path, leave site folder "administrator"
} else {
$root = '';
}
$button->link = $root.'/plugins/editors-xtd/myplugin/myplugin.layout.php?name='.$name;
Also, as you may already know the $button->name = 'myplugin'; needs to be the name of the icon from the Joomla icomoon set - you can see them here https://ma.tvtmarine.com/en/blog/112-joomla-icomoon-icons-directory
The name needs to be the icon name without the .icon- bit eg:
$button->name = 'warning-2';
code block doesn't seem to be working properly...sorry about the formatting

In my component view, I can show a module by this code:
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_login');
$html = JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);
echo $html;
or
echo JHtml::_('content.prepare', '{loadmodule login}');
But that will usually place the module in the middle of the screen in the main-content div.
How can I place the module in the position defined in the module params?
Take a look at how the admin template Isis renders the quickicons module on the home page or at how the error page in protostar renders the search modules.
$this->searchmodules = JModuleHelper::getModules('position-0');
foreach ($this->searchmodules as $searchmodule)
{
$output = JModuleHelper::renderModule($searchmodule, array('style' => 'none'));
$params = new JRegistry;
$params->loadString($searchmodule->params);
echo $output;
}
You just want one module, but you get the basic idea.
Try This.
You can Pass the module parameters too.
$document = &JFactory::getDocument();
$renderer = $document->loadRenderer('module');
$Module = &JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_fmDataGrid');
$Params = "param1=bruno\n\rparam2=chris";
$Module->params = $Params;
echo $renderer->render($Module);
This may help you..
You can't, jdoc includes in the template are processed after the component has finished producing its output.
Why not let Joomla render the modules in the right positions? that should be one of the reasons for using it, i.e. taking care of placement and order of modules.
If you have other reasons for doing this, please explain further.
Can anyone please help me with the process flow through which the Joomla Itemid parameter ends up being the highlighted menu item?
I have embedded a 3rd party application in Joomla and by temporarily changing the php environment within the application.
I am able to get joomla html and insert the 3rd party html by replacing a token.
Simplified Code:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET' ) {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] = '';
}
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/joomla/index.php?view=mycom&option=com_mycom&Itemid=103';
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = '/joomla/index.php';
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] = 'view=mycom&option=com_mycom&Itemid=103';
ob_start();
require_once '/joomla/index.php';
$joomlaHTML = ob_get_clean();
echo str_replace($replacementToken, $thirdPartyHTML, $joomlaHTML);
In v1.5.x, the menu item with ID 103 is properly highlighted but in v2.5.6, it isn't and the Home item is always highlighted. I think it used to be highlighted correctly in v1.6.x and earlier versions of 2.5.x as well but not sure.
I wanted to find how the process flows (where this is set) so I can see what tweaks I need to make.
DELETED WRONG INFO
Thanks Dayo! you saved my day with this:
// force highlight the external url menu item
$Itemid = JRequest::getVar('Itemid');
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
$menu->setActive($Itemid);
I don't fully understand the breadcrumb part, but I managed to get it working by editing my component's controller.php to read:
// No direct access to this file
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
// force highlight the external url menu item
$Itemid = JRequest::getVar('Itemid');
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
$menu->setActive($Itemid);
// force fix the breadcrumb
$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$pathway =& $app->getPathway();
$bcrumbs = &JPathway::getInstance('site');
// import Joomla controller library
jimport('joomla.application.component.controller');
/**
* MyCom Component Controller
*/
class MyComController extends JController
{
}
Look in the following File
Check the
/modules/mod_menu/mod_menu.php
File and you will see two functions has been called "getActive" and "getDefault"
Which can be find in following file
/libraries/joomla/application/menu.php
I think it can be customized easily now
I have got a multilingual joomla 2.5 website with sef urls enabled. The page relies heavily on ajax, so every kind of content is pulled from the server after the good old
window.onload
event. To make everything work proper and urls look nice, I want to force Joomla to always respond in the sites default language if the page loaded and the index.php of the template in invoked.
Or to describe the problem diffrent:
If an ajax-call pulls an item which is different from the default language and a page-refresh follows, joomla redirects to the homepage in the language of the last ajax-call, that is what I want to prevent.
Greetings
Got it working! The question itself was wrong! I should have been asking: "How to redirect to frontpage in default language?"
Answer:
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$languages = JLanguageHelper::getLanguages('lang_code');
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$defaultLang = ( $lang->getTag() == $lang->getDefault() ) ? $lang : JLanguage::getInstance( $lang->getDefault() );
if( ! ( $lang->getTag() == $defaultLang->getTag() ) ){
$app->redirect( JRoute::_( 'index.php?lang='.$languages[ $defaultLang->getTag() ]->sef ), 'hallo', true );
}
Done!
Greetings....
please help, I've a problem with Joomla's function renderModule.. I am trying to render module with this function, but it unfortunately strips javascript from the the rendered module.
I use the function in my own module which includes other modules according to current article..
The code is as following:
<?php
$moduleType = "j15html";
$moduleName = "test";
$option = JRequest::getVar( 'option', '' );
$view = JRequest::getVar( 'view', '' );
$id = JRequest::getInt( 'id', 0 );
$moduleName .= $id;
//echo $view;
if ( $option == "com_content" && $view == "article" ) {
//echo $moduleName;
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule($moduleType, $moduleName);
//print_r($module);
if ( ! empty( $module ) ) {
$attribs = array();
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule( $module, $attribs );
}
}
When I set the position of the included module to any position used in my template and set it to displat in particular menu section, it renders properly even with javascript and so on..
Any advices how to make this thing working?
You didn't mention which version of Joomla you're using - but you may want to check out SOURCERER it keeps coding how you put it and does not strip out extra coding.
Make sure you read the how-to so you know how to use it because it can seem a little confusing at first, but it has a button to 'change the tags' from < to << or [ which do not get stripped out by the WYSIWYG editor in Joomla!.
Of course, that could be your issue also, if your WYSIWYG editor is on (by default it is) and you're inputting code - it strips it. An easy way is to just turn it off under global options, then when you save the code doesn't get stripped. Just turning off the WYSIWYG editor is the quick/easy/simple solution - but if you turn it back on and open that module again, the code will be gone. So it can be a tricky solution if others may like using the editor or if you're using lots of custom code around your side. In that case the plugin I mentioned above is a great solution.
I'm already using jQuery in my frontend skin files. I've now added some extra functionality in an admin phtml file, that also needs to use jQuery. I don't want to have to include it twice, but how can I link to the existing jQuery file dynamically, assuming I don't know what theme package name is being used on the frontend (because obviously that can change, so I don't want it hardcoded)?
For example, I tried this, but it gives me the admin theme package name, not the frontend package:
<?php
// Get the package name
$configData = Mage::getStoreConfig('design');
$package = $configData['package']['name'];
?>
Anyone?
OK, this seems to be working. I can access the db directly, look for the "design/package/name" in the core_config_data table and then build the url to the js file using that:
<?php // Get the current theme being used, so we can build the url link to our jQuery file
$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
$tablename = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getTableName('core_config_data');
$results = $connection->fetchAll("SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE path='design/package/name';");
foreach($results as $row) { $theme = $row['value']; };
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_SKIN).'frontend/'.$theme; ?>/default/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
for me helped to set $storeId as 1 not 0
$package = Mage::getStoreConfig('design/package/name', 1);
$theme = Mage::getStoreConfig('design/theme/default', 1);
