I managed to do this by using an override for the category blog (com_sontent/category/tmpl/blog.php). There I used the following to differentiate between paginated and not-paginated content and to hide/show code elements via CSS.
<div class="category-desc pages<?php echo $this->pagination->get('limitstart'); ?>">
I would like to apply the same method to my template's index.php, for example wrap the component output in a container with a CSS class name indicating if the content is broken up into several pages or not.
This would make it possible to hide side bars from a paginated blog main page, whereas they would show in single (unpaginated) articles linked to from this page.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of PHP barely exists.

I've created a custom hook, so that I can include my custom module in any .tpl file by a single line: {hook h='calcSubstrate'}.
However, I can't use it in CMS page, at least not by using the admin panel - including smarty code in a CMS page won't render, the code would appear just as it is, as a text: {hook h='calcSubstrate'}.
Alternatively, if that would be easier/faster - how can I choose on which pages my module would appear?
The editor for CMS page won't recognize any Smarty code. To include hooks in chosen articles/pages, I can think of two options:
Include the hook in the template (cms.tpl), and check for the id of the current page to conditionally display the module. The list of the page ids can be made as the module's configuration.
Build a module to add functionality similar to Wordpress's shortcode to the CMS content. I do this with module instead of overriding the CmsController class, hence I have to display the content with {$cms->content|module}. You can look at the simplified code here for inspiration: https://gist.github.com/tungd/cef0ca1ac1063c1ee90b. Of course you can make it more generic like Wordpress, by having only one Smarty modifier do_shortcode that does everything (just like Wordpress's do_shortcode function).
Last time I did this it was because my client want to put slideshows in some CMS pages, and I chose the second approach because it gives a lot of flexibility about when the module is displayed and where it is displayed between the content. For something else, for example Contact Form, or Map, this would be overkill and the first approach is better.
Is there a simple way to hook into the Magento widget rendering feature on something other than CMS block or page?
I have a tooltips extension to display tooltips on custom options. There will be lots of products all with the same options and all needing the same tooltip text. While the tooltip extension we're using provides a means to declare snippets that can then be used on products, the snippets are added to individual products at setup time rather than referencing the single snippet instance. Thus if the tooltip content needs to change across all products we have to edit the snippet and then reapply the modified snippet to all products.
It would be preferable to be able refernce the snippet direct rather than just using it at product setup, but that's not how it works. So an alternative would be to include a static block in the tooltip description and reference the single description instance with our theme's already provided widget feature that works for on CMS pages e.g. {{widget type="cms/widget_block" template="cms/widget/static_block/default.phtml" block_id="xx"}}, where xx is the block created for this tooltip.
This needs the tooltip HTML description parsed through whatever it is in Magento that parses content HTML and processes any widget directives it contains.
I tried the following, where $tipstext is the tooltips HTML containing the widget directive, but no go. Didn't think it would be that simple!
Mage_Cms_Model_Template_Filter::filter($tipstext);
Anyhone have any idea if/how this could be achieved easily?
The class Mage_Cms_Model_Template_Filter does not have a widgetDirective method so it does not know how to parse {{widget}} short codes. Try instead Mage_Widget_Model_Template_Filter:
Mage::getSingleton('widget/template_filter')->filter($text);
This should work
<?php
$filter = new Mage_Widget_Model_Template_Filter();
$_widget = $filter->filter('{{widget type="cms/widget_page_link" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml" page_id="2"}}');
echo $_widget;
?>
I have a site with an "About us" page which is divided into multiple sections.
About Us
+Overview
+The Company
+Our services
+Future plans
(etc)
I want to have a floated block on the right hand side of each of these pages which contains links to every other page.
Ideally, what I would like is to create a page titled AboutUsSidebar, and then be able to include this page in all of the about sections through some kind of tag, ie..
{include('Sidebar')}
Is there anything like this in PyroCMS? Or perhaps a better way to do it?
You should use view partials.
Create your sidebar with it's HTML and save it into addons/shared_addons/themes/yourtheme/views/partials/sidebar.html and then you can include it in your layouts as so:
{{ theme:partial name="sidebar" }}
It looks like page types are the way to go, I didn't see the page types button at the top of the page before.
In the end what I was able to achieve the desired result by using a page type.
I have a page type called "About" which contains the sidebar html, then I use pages on top of that page type for each of the sections.
Worked very nicely.
there are tutorials on the web about gow to create index.html, css file and template.xml that contain placeholders. ok, i got it, it's simple. but i need a template that has some different views. for example:
-all pages have a topmenu, header, left sidebar, mainarea and a footer but:
-first page has no header .topmenu after which sidebar, mainarea and footer comes.
-second page has sidebar moved from left to right
-third page has four blocks (blocks for special offers) instead of mainarea.
as far as i can see, i need to create three standalone templates with unique set of placeholders for each template. because i can't see the way to change laarge mainarea placeholder with four placeholders for offers blocks on some pages. dynamically.
is there if-statements in joomla templates to simply determine a document id to view four placeholders instead of mainarea. or to not show header on the main page (f.e. doc. id="mainpage")
but i want it to be selectable like:
-this page has first case of that template (index_1.php)
-and that page has a second case of the same template (index_2.php)
like a selectbox.
is that possible?
I will make this an answer as opposed to a comment since I believe it will do what you are looking for.
Once your articles are setup and your links to them are established (the site has the info on it you're looking for), you can create the modules containing the data that you want shown from time to time.
Go to the module manager - on the right you should see 'module assignment' or something along the lines of 'display this module on the following pages'; you can then pick which pages you want the module to show on. You can specify all pages, none, specific pages, however you want.
This will enable you to show them only where needed however you like.
You can ALSO do this programatically inside the module (if you do custom HTML and use an extension like Sourcerer to add PHP to the module) with PHP should you want a little more flexibility, but just choosing the pages to show on should work for what you're doing.
I want to put login module in to modal popup. But when I use class="modal" whole page gets loaded in to modal. Can you show me the way to put only module.
This stands also for displaying articles in modal.
here is the link with problem
I do this fairly often and there are two tricks that can help make this work better. First you will likely want to add tmpl=component to your url. This causes Joomla to only display the article instead of the entire template (as long as your template supports this, most do).
This should do pretty well. If you want to get even more selective, you can do one of two things:
Add CSS to hide pieces
.modal-body .other-selector {
display:none;
}
Use Javascript to select only the piece that you want
$('#myModal').on('show', function () {
// selects a piece of the current modal body and sets it as the only content of the modal
$('#myModal .modal-body').html($('#myModal .modal-body').find('.other-selector).html());
})
The way you can only display the component is to add an extra parameter tmpl=component in the url.If you'll see the component.php inside your template folder that has mainly <jdoc:include type="component" /> with no module position.So it'll load only component.
I did not try for module but you can try similar for module.So you can try it by just giving the position of the module in whole template like create a new page called modules.php in your template folder and put the module position inside this page.And you call it in a similar way just like component like tmpl=modules
I hope this will work.
It was problem with my templates component.php file. I just added inside and now it works fine. Thanks guys
