This feels like a newbie question but:
I am trying to create a new page from the drop-down display menu so that I can supply a background color to the page (so end user doesn't have to go into the html and add a div). I tried adding a new (empty) div to the template but it's not working. Is this even possible?
Here is my code (my div is called "s_holder"):
<metal:field use-macro="python:here.widget('text', mode='view')">
Body text
</metal:field>
<div metal:use-macro="here/document_relateditems/macros/relatedItems">
show related items if they exist
</div>
<div tal:replace="structure provider:plone.belowcontentbody" />
</tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>
<div id="s_holder"></div><!--end s holder-->
</body>
</html>
For the part of creating the new display view: as #Auspex said, you should put the div inside the macro.
To add your display view to the drop down menu you need to edit every content type. There are two ways of doing this:
1- manually add a "types" folder in the genericsetup profile of your product and put inside one xml file per content type. Ex:
File.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="File"
meta_type="Factory-based Type Information with dynamic views"
i18n:domain="plone" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">
<property name="view_methods">
<element value="file_view"/>
<element value="myniewfantastic_view"/>
</property>
</object>
2- in the ZMI -> portal_types edit every content type to add your display view and then in the portal_setup tool export the step for types. Extract the xml definitions from the downloaded archive to your genericsetup profile (in the "types" folder) and then edit them to remove unuseful parts as above.
Sure you can do it. I'm not convinced it's a good idea :-), but you need the <div> to be inside the main_macro (your example HTML is invalid - you have a </tal:main-macro> and no start tag, but I'm assuming you just cut and pasted the last part of the template here, because that template would never display, if it was written that way.
That said, how exactly are you adding it to "the drop-down display menu"?

I have a few folders of PDF files that are all related to the same subject, for instance the PDFs for Adventures in Middle-earth RPG. I like to create a tiddlywiki to use as an index to the files. I will then set up a tidder as a menu then set up tiddlers that embed an iframe to open the PDF right inside the main document.
I used the wonderful technique from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40561642/10221
I now set a field named "pdf" on the tiddler for each PDF to store the filename to open like this:
\define build-link()
<iframe name="" src=".\$(pdf)$" width="600" height="600" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no"></iframe>
\end
<$set name=pdf value={{!!pdf}}>
<<build-link>>
</$set>
My question, is there a way that I could create a generic tiddler that I use for all the books and then pass the pdf field value into the tiddler when I open it? I'm hoping for something like [[TidderName[pdf=CoreBook.pdf]]]
That would save me from having to create a whole bunch of tiddlers, one for each book, which are almost identical. It would also let me pass in things like the page number to open since the browser lets you append things like #page=5 to advance to a specific page. Then I could do things like [[Character Creation|TidderName[pdf=CoreBook.pdf,page=27]]]
Or maybe I'm just thinking about this totally wrong. I've been using Tiddlywiki for years but I'm certainly not an advanced user.
I'm having problems adding custom url parameters to my component menu. My component displays different data on the same view depending on which value from predetermined set is passed via custom GET parameter. For example, let's say these two urls are the only valid variants of the same view:
?option=com_mycomponent&view=myview&option=hello
?option=com_mycomponent&view=myview&option=world
How can I add these two urls as separate menu types to the component?
you need to change your default.xml file in such a way that when you create menu it will ask you for the optional parameter.
The default.xml file located at component/your_component/views/yourview/tmpl/default.xml
The code will look like as below
<fields name="request">
<fieldset name="request">
<field name="option" type="hidden"
label=""
required=""
description=""
default="default-value"
/>
</fieldset>
</fields>
For reference check components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.xml file
You can use External URL.
Create a new menu and select External URL from Menu Item Type > System Links. Add your urls in the Link field.
I hope I was of any help.
is there any way to style the output of <jdoc:include type="component" /> within the templates without modifying Joomla core function?
Specifically, I would like to add a div with id article to include the article and nothing else. By now, in my theme, there's a div with class item-page that includes the article, the ratings, the action and even the comment box (added with an external plugin).
So, I would like the new templates to be something like:
<div class="item-page>
<!-- something here -->
<div id="article">
<!-- The article and nothing else here -->
</div>
<!-- comments and whatever may be here -->
</div>
Use a layout override.
Go to the tmpl folder of the view you want to modify the layout for and copy to the html folder of your template ... so say article:
get /components/views/article/default.php and copy that to
templates/[yourtemplate]/html/com_content/article/default.php
Modify the file as you wish.
This will default change it on all pages using that template.
Actually the question is in the subj...
Is it possible to make handlebars template framework, to recognize templates within a div tag and not in script tag?
For example I would like to create template with this markup:
<style>
div.text-x-handlebars {display:none;}
</style>
<div class="text-x-handlebars-template">
<h2>I'm template</h2>
<p>{{welcomeMessage}}</p>
</div>
Yes you can put your templates in <div>s rather than <script>s, for example:
http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/RucqP/
However, doing so is fraught with danger. If you put your template inside a <div> then the browser will interpret it as HTML before you've filled it in; so, if your template's HTML isn't valid until after it has been filled in, the browser may attempt to correct it and make a mess of things. Also, if you have id attributes in your templates, then you will end up with duplicate ids (one in the template <div> and a repeat in the filled in template that you put in the DOM) and that will cause all sorts of strange and interesting bugs. The browser will also try to download any images inside the templates in a <div>, this may or may not be a problem (if might even be desirable but probably not desirable if the image uses a template variable in its src attribute).
Basically, you can do it but you shouldn't, you should put your templates in <script id="..." type="text/x-handlebars-template"> elements instead.
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.
