I have been tasked with adding a single link to a Joomla v1.5 site. For sake of brevity I won't include the backstory. Long story short ... this Joomla site is being replaced in the near future with Drupal. For the time being I need to add some content to the Joomla version.
I have a menu that consists of a series of <li> items that are hyper links to other pages. I can view the HTML source using FireBug so I can see that the Joomla template code is generating.
The Joomla template code is ...
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="menu5" />
it creates the following HTML
<li>Link #1 Text</li>
<li>Link #2 Text</li>
<li>Link #3 Text</li>
<li>Link #4 Text</li>
I can view the module named menu5 via the Joomla interface but I cannot see any way to edit the content it generates. I can change meta data regarding the menu (Title, Position, Order, Access Level, etc ..), but nothing about changing the content the menu generates. All I want to do is to insert another link in this list. I could modify the template and hardcode it except it needs to be inserted in the middle of the list.
Any Joomla gurus out there that could tell me where to modify the content this module generates?
It sounds like it's a Joomla! Menu module (in the Module Manager you can check the type column and see if its a menu type).
If it is a menu, you will need to use the Menu menu to select the right menu and then add a menu item to it. (Sorry for all the menus, it's a self referential subject).
Typically the menu module will have the same/similar name as the Menu it displays.

In odoo 9 we create our own template of home page but on this page we are unable to use the editor elements from the editor. It's color change to red when we hover on the structure elements
for this you need to define attribute customize_show="True" while defining the template like this -
<template id="custom_template" inherit_id="optional" customize_show="True">
.
.
.
</template>
you get that error because your wrapper around your entire page is missing and id and a class on your general div, your code should look like this:
<div id="wrap" class="oe_structure oe_empty">
#your page code goes here
</div>
on the other hand customize_show="True" is an option on the templates to give the user the option to enable o disable templates on the frontend, this will display the template name with a toggle/checkbox on the website editor menu "Customize"
best regards.
What I need to do is to put a Joomla extension, JDownloads, as the only item at the frontend. I mean, no menus, no header, no footer, no other things at frontend, only JDownloads.
I'm a newbie in Joomla, so I have to ask. Is this possible, at first place? If it is, how can achieve it?
Thanks!
No need to do anything other than make a single menu item to your JDownloads component. If you don't add any modules then all that will display is the component.
You could fork one of your templates (atomic is the simplest one) eg from
/templates/atomic
to
/templates/simply
tweak a few parameters in /templates/simply/templateDetails.xml
<name>atomic</name>
and in /templates/simply/index.php replace the contents of BODY tag with:
<jdoc:include type="message" />
<jdoc:include type="component" />
Then set it as your default template or use as helper for other site
In Joomla 3.0, an empty <a> tag with class="nolink"(ie,) is inserted for every <ul> and <li>.
Advice me how to remove this.
We are creating the component and we are creating the tabs as of default component (for ex Newsfeed component edit page).On the first tab position the <a> tag is created.
I think I have found the problem.
This is due to a tag which is unclosed in the /administrator/modules/mod_submenu/tmpl/default.php file in line 26.
A ticket has already been created on JoomlaCode: [#29623] Missing closing link tag in submenu layout
We just have to wait the next Joomla version.
You can also add the '</a>' tag at the end of the line 26 like this:
?><a class="nolink"><?php echo $item[0]; ?></a><?php
Change the following code in the function addtoolbar in the view.html.php file.
Change the mainmenu params as false in the edit page view.
JFactory::getApplication()->input->set('hidemainmenu', false);
If we need to display the mainmenu using the above code, then the following code <a class="nolink"></a> doesn't generate in the edit page.
I tried all the default editors that came with Joomla 3.0:
(In Users -> User Manager -> Super User -> Basic Settings -> Editor:)
Editor - CodeMirror
Editor - None
Editor - TinyMCE
That problem didn't occur here. I also tried using the button on TinyMCE editor to add the ul and li tags.
Can you give more details on how did you add those ul and li tags?
What editor are you using?
I am trying to work through building a template in Joomla and seem to be missing a fundamental logic here on how modules work. I have read the wiki and several tutorials which all speak of earlier versions than 1.7 so havent helped much.
Basically I have created two menus:
"Main Menu" menu type mainmenu
"Sub Menu" menu type submenu
When I go into Module Manager though, I see both menus as follows:
"Main Menu" type: Menu
"Sub Menu" type: Menu
So in my index.php the only way I can get the menu to display is with the following:
<jdoc:include type="module" name="menu" title="Main Menu"/>
<jdoc:include type="module" name="menu" title="Sub Menu"/>
if I try setting name="mainmenu" or name="submenu" they simply dont display. This basically just shows two copies of the same menu (the one set to "home" I think).
I am missing something here and I dont know what. Isnt the title suppose to tell Joomla which to display here?
I have tried setting their positions in the module manager, then wrapping them in divs with the same id as the position, that didnt change anything either. Im lost...
Could someone please explain how I am suppose to display these menus?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You need to use module positions.
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="mainmenu-position" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="submenu-position" />
or you can load both menu modules into one single position
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="menus" />
Important thing is to assing the modules to the positions they get displayed in (backend).
There is only one type of menu module in Joomla, not separate module types for mainmenu and submenu.
You mention that you have two modules of type "menu" in the Module Manager.
Open them up and take a look at the paramaters under "Basic Options". Set your Main Menu 'start level' to 1 and 'end level' to 2, and set your Submenu 'start level' to 2 and 'end level' to 'all'.
That should do the trick.
I want a sidebar on article page, with additional info. Is there such a solution for Joomla 1.5.
I mean that I add an article and the info is pulled from my text between the tags e.g.
{info_for-sidebar}
Lorem ipsum....
{/info_for-sidebar}
And this info shows in sidebar for current article with actual info.
Is this possible?
Setting up something like what you are asking for require some sort of workarounds.
First, lets agree that what you are calling a "sidebar" is nothing but a content... You enter that content as a part of your article.
So, to achieve what you are asking for I would recommend you use what is called CCK - Content Construction Kit - extension for Joomla using Form2Content. There's a free light edition that would be enough.
Form2Content let you setup a content type. You define what fields you want for each content. Then you create a template that will use the info you are going to enter on the fields to built an article layout.
So let's say you are going to create 3 fields like this :
1- Intro text
2- Full text
3- Sidebar
You are going to create a template as we said. each content type will have 2 templates an intro text template and a full text template
The full text template shall be like this :
<div class="content-container">
<div class="content-sidebar">{$SIDEBAR}</div>
<div class="content-fulltext">{$FULLTEXT}</div>
<br clear="both" />
</div>
The {$SIDEBAR} and {$FULLTEXT} are the text you entered in the form and Form2Content will use it to create a regular content with layout.
If you don't want to use another extension or that solution looks too complicated, you could use a javascript solution. For example you could create an HTML module in Joomla and assign its to the sidebar. On this module switch the view to HTML code and enter this:
<div class="content-sidebar"></div>
When you enter an article, switch the view to HTML code and enter the text you want to show on the sidebar and add a class to the paragraph or the div like this :
<p class="special-content">Lorem ipsum dolor<p>
Then use jQuery to append this special text to the sidebar like this :
jQuery(".content-sidebar").append(".special-content");
Note: Joomla does not load jQuery by default, you have to add it on your template or use a plugin.
