My web site layout has images to the right of most pages. I want to configure which image to show in the menu item settings.
It seems that the proper place to configure the image would be the page display options for the menu item. I don't want to use the Page Class option as this would require changing the template for every new image.
Is there a way I can add a custom Page Display Option (for the image url) and read that from the template?
I'm assuming that the image is being displayed in a module. If so, there are a few ways to do it -
Use the menu assignment to turn the module on or off per page you want it to display. This would require a module per different image.
Make the image a background in the module, then using the page class suffix, change which image is used as the background using CSS. This would require one line of CSS per image you want to use.
You could also write a custom module or a module override that uses the page class suffix to create a dynamic URL for the SRC of the image.

When uploading an image in Netlify CMS, I get a preview image, which however disappears right after a refresh. The image I attached shows the source attribute the preview element uses - it looks like the logic here assumes that the image is already deployed to the same domain (which in turn assumes that the site the CMS manages lives on the same domain as the CMS interface itself). Is there a way to change the base URL just for the preview, e.g. to some kind of https://rawgit/...-like URL. I am looking for a setting that affects only the preview widget behavior and nothing else (where the image is saved, what URL path it adds in the post frontmatter etc).
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
I am using Liferay 7.2. I want to display the viewURL link of an asset publisher in a Display Page Templates page. I couldn’t solve the problem. After searching, I realized that this problem can be solved in three ways:
Method 1:
1- As and admin, in Web Content>Structures create a structure (News Article) and make a Template for that structure.
2- Create page A and add an asset publisher. In this asset publisher: In Asset Selection choose Web Content Article as Asset Type and choose News Article as sub structure. In Display Setting tab choose View in Context as Asset Link Behavior.
3-In Site Builder>Pages create a Display Page Template (page B). Edit it and add an asset publisher similar to page A. However, in page B, in Configuration of asset publisher, in Display Settings choose Show Full Content as Asset Link Behavior and tick Set as the Default Asset Publisher for This Page and Show only assets with Page B as its display page template.
4-Create some News Article. In Display Page Template section, choose Specific Display Page Template and Page B.
In page A, everything is OK. However, when I click on ViewURL of an asset entry, it will redirect to page B. But, in asset publisher section of page B, no results is shown (There are no results.). Means that the chosen asset of page A is not shown in Display Page Template of page B.
Method 2:
Maybe the simplest method is editing Display Page Template (page B) in Section Builder>Content Display add Display Page Template. However, as stated in this issue , the display page content section only shows the summary and no style can be shown. Maybe it is necessary to edit abstract.jsp file. But, I don’t know how to do this.
Method 3:
Create a Widget Template and add it to page B. The article data of the selected asset can be obtained from the URL. However, I couldn’t get the data of the selected article.
I appreciate for any help in this regard.
An Asset Publisher instantiated in a Display Page Template won't show the page Web Content. One way to show an Web Content in a Display Page Template, is to instantiate a Fragment and map the Web Content fields to it, as shown here.
So, to solve your problem, you would need to change Page's B Asset Publisher to one or more Fragments, and map your News Article fields to them.
You could also map the Web Content to your own custom Fragmets, using Fragments lfr-editable fields
<lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="text">
This is editable text!
</lfr-editable>
Another way is to get the Web Content Java Object instance inside a Freemarker (a Fragment, Widget Template, Web Content Template, etc) with this snippet (only works for 7.3+)
${Request.INFO_ITEM}
Within an article in Joomla, I have the following code:
(loadposition file_download)
This line of code loads more code, but I cannot access it from the Articles page. How do I access the loadposition code?
On the web you are always striving to separate content from display. Here you are just setting up the display so that when the page renders items in the file_download position will render. That is the html for whatever is in file_download will be generated dynamically when the user looks at the page in the browser. In the editor you are just creating html. If you save the article and view it in the rendered form (i.e. in the Joomla frontend) you will see that loadposition will do its work of rendering whatever it is that file_download asks it to render. That is loadposition is a way to dynamically include content (which might include text, javascript, whatever) into an article.
So I would like to be able to add a block to certain CMS pages, which would display links for that page.
I am thinking it will use a common (custom) template, to display the links on each page in the same manner, but I need to be able to set the links in the admin side.
I had initially thought about using a widget. which seems to make sense, and wouldn't be too hard to be able to edit in the admin side and add to a page.
But I am not sure how I could create a widget which allows for the addition of multiple links, tied to that page.
Ideally, I could add a block in the cms layout xml, perhaps check if the url path is correct, and displays the links for that page in a block.
As I write this, I realize I am not sure what the best way to accomplish this would be.
I would rather not have it be editable in the content. But I am not sure how else to make it easy to add links to a page.
Is there some way I could create a module or something where you could choose the page in the admin side, set as many links as you want (with label and URL). and then on that page, the block would load the links into the block template?
Any direction, or even a place to start would be VERY helpful. Thanks!
I have developed a Joomla module that does provides a form, processes its post data, does some calculations and displays the results.
The module includes a button to print the results. I'm currently using JavaScript to open a new window, paste the relevant HTML and open the print dialog.
Instead of JavaScript I would prefer to provide a separate URL for the print view and simply open that in a _blank target. This would make the application work better for people using screen readers or not having JavaScript available.
Is there any way that I can tell Joomla to not render the template along with my module? I was thinking that creating a component fixes that issue, but had to find that components are rendered into the template, too...
BTW: I have Joomla 1.5.22
To achieve what you want you have to add additional tmpl=component query string parameter to the request URL. This will disable template and module rendering.
Your URL will look something like this: index.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx&tmpl=component
Since you are using Joomla 1.5 you can request index2.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx and it will only render the component. Joomla 2.5 does not have index2.php so if you plan to migrate in future, don't use this option.
If you are using SEF then adding ?tmpl=component at the end on URL does the trick.
To go a step deeper... in your template directory you have component.php file, that is the file that's being loaded by tmpl param. You can copy component.php to my_component.php, do necessary changes and load your custom component template with index.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx&tmpl=my_component
The joomla way of doing it would be to set your output to "raw", see this tut:
