I am working on this app where many pages (8+) are linking to the same page. Every page needs to show correct breadcrumb. Since many pages are linking to the same page, the target page (p5) has a number of breadcrumbs and each breadcrumb has a condition that an application item needs to have a specific value for the parent page.
For example pages 1,2,3,4,6,7 link to page 5. So page 5 has 6 separate breadcrumbs on it where the condition is when parent_page = x where x is the parent page number. So if the user comes from page 1, a correct breadcrumb is selected.
I feel that this is excessive and creates a mess. Also the number of pages that link to page 5 seems to grow. I could create new breadcrumbs for each parent page but I feel that this is wrong and want to find a better way. Can anyone point me in the right direction? how have you handled something like this in the past?
I haven't actually done it, but I remember wanting to at one time. I think you would need to "roll your own" breadcrumbs. You could use an APEX collection to keep track of the user's navigation by "pushing" and "popping" pages on to and off of the APEX collection. Then create a SQL-based list region to display these. You may need to create a bespoke list template to make this list look like breadcrumbs.
Had a similar requirement. Many paths to a single location and keeping the breadcrumbs in sync with the users path was a coding horror story. Finally we decided on not going down that road. The breadcrumb now shows the main path back to the main screen, which might not be the exact path the user followed. So, just a single breadcrumb per page. If you want to go back to the previous page then a "back" or "cancel" button could still do that, but not the breadcrumb.

I am trying to make a simple e-commerce website and followed some tutorials.
However, the author of the book used complicated function based view to make cart function..
there are bunch of session stuffs.. and I don't understand the logic..
and I am trying to think the other way..
what about using database to store all the cart related data, and
use CBV to build it?
for example,
CartListView to see the contents of the cart, and CartUpdateView to change the quantity..
then are they going to be two different pages? separated page that user should go to the
different page to change the value??
please help me T T
You can access the session in any sort of CBV as self.request.session and a "shopping cart" is normally stored therein.
You'll certainly need to implement a CartListView to see what's in it, or possibly a CartEditView to show the cart with options to edit the quantities and delete anything that shouldn't be in there.
Adding products to the cart may well be an "Add" button on a ProductDetailView or lots of add buttons in a ProductListView. You might add a POST handler method to these views which are otherwise read-only (GET-only) bt default. Or you might make them FormViews, even though the form would be hidden and filled/POSTed by JS rather than the shopper doing anything other than clicking "add".
And then there will be a CheckoutView.
Check https://djangopackages.org/ (put "cart" in the search box). this will throw up several shopping cart things which might be the code you want, or the source of which might be a valuable learning resource before you end up rolling your own.
In my content tree, I have "Folder" items that have no presentation, but have all the insert options on them. How would you be able to use the "Insert Page" button in the ribbon to insert a new content item in the right part of the tree?
For Example:
I have my home page Content(Folder)/Home.item
All of my insert options are on Content(Folder), how do I add a new Home.item type without nesting it under Home.item?
In order to be able to use the Insert Page button, the item you are inserting under must have Presentation defined. It doesn't need to have components added, and I've worked round this before by simply define a "blank" layout and setting it on those items. Maybe create yourself a new template (inheriting from Folder) and then set Layout on that. But, this is a workaround at best. You can only "Insert Page" below the current page you are on, so you would essentially have to navigate to a blank page in order to create the sibling.
From what you have stated, it sounds like you may want to re-think where your Insert Options have been set and your content structure, i.e. why would you want create another Home item? Creating so will require set-up of another <site> and related config. You probably also want to separate those sites out with other settings, there is some good example of multi-site structure in this blog post. If you go down this route look into using Branch Templates. But, difficult to know what you are doing without context...
Im a little newbie working with Aplication Express, I want to create an aplication which its structure could be something like this example.

Anyone have some ideas to create it?
I just tried creating a List from Shared Components and then set it in a region with Page Region Template Position 3 and another Chart Region with Page Template Body (3), but in my case the side bar is placed on the right when I want it on the left... I have tried all the Template Position combination as possible.
Also when I click a value from the list, the page is opened on another tab. How can I open it on a specific region? As a frame for example
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Having a left sidebar depends on the page template you select. Some page templates will have a left sidebare, other a right one, others maybe both. And since templates are part of a theme, it may be that some templates under some themes may not have a page template that offers what you'd want.
So the first you need to do is look at what page templates you have available in your chosen theme. You can do this by going to the Shared Components and selecting templates from there. Scroll to the Page Templates and see if you can find one there.
While it's a good guess that the sidebart region will be in position 3, and position 3 is in the sidebar, it's best to verify. You can do that by checking the html of the body of the template. See if there is a region assigned to a sidebar. You'll have to divine this from the markup or an example page and which one it is (position 2? position 3? 4?).
Pro-tip: from the Shared Components > Templates, in the report overview, you can preview certain types of templates, such as the page template. Just hit the preview button and you'll get a general idea of the style and the region positioning! When viewing the template in detail, you can also preview from the preview link in the right hand menu list.
As for the list: the example you linked has a list region on the left sidebar, but all those links are links to other pages. Thus, there are as many pages as there are links in the list.
If on your environment the links are causing a new page or tab to be opened up, then that likely means the attribute target="_blank" is present on those anchor tags. Again though, this just means that that markup is being generated by the chosen list template. Try another list template (by editing the list, under Source you can chose the template) or take a look at the theme's templates. You can find the markup for the individual list items there.
It'd be better not to concern yourself too much by trying to fiddle around with iframes just yet, because even though that'd be possible it is not an out of the box feature. Unless you're already really familiar with eg javascript I'd stick to page links until you're more familiar with the environment.
Looks like an issue was closed related to the question I'm about to ask, so I wonder if I'm going to be skating on thin ice, but here goes. I feel like even though this is kind of localized by nature, it could be a useful example for other developers dealing with the Like button.
I seem to be having issues regarding the Facebook like button. The infuriating part is that I'm pretty confident I have everything setup properly, and even though the linter says "hey, this all looks kosher!" the like button fails to get the correct content and uses cached info from a different page.
Here's the case: referlocal.com. We serve daily deals, and list them right off the homepage. There can be one of many deals listed on that homepage, so obviously Facebook is seeing just one when it goes to take a peek at the root directory. Now, on the homepage, whatever deal your viewing has a FB Like XFBML tag with href and ref attributes set. Every page that displays a deal also has OG tags pointing directly to the offer view page. Deals can also be viewed on user pages. So, on these three paths:
/
/{username}
/offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}
a like button is included as well as OG tags that point to /offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}. For about 3 weeks, the button worked like a champ. But recently, it's been performing strangely. For any deal, regardless of the 3 locations, it always uses the information cached from the previous days "/" deal. Regardless of the OG tags or origination.
Here's the wildly confusing part. The Facebook Linter is supposed to recache the information on the page, right? Well, it sort of does. It picks up on all of the appropriate information set in the OG tags, but when you click the Like button at the bottom of the page, no dice, still uses the deal FB saw on the homepage from the day before.
I know this is probably killing my argument for localization, but check this out:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Freferlocal.com%2Foffers%2Fdallas%2Fget-20-of-authentic-italian-american-cuisine-for-only-10-at-leggios-italian-ristorante-dallas
Regardless of the fact that the linter finds all the appropriate information, the like button at the bottom still is liking a deal FB cached from the previous day.
Any ideas?
I had this problem too. The linter caches things in a very weird manner - seems like the best thing to do is either to add a query string and change it every time, or just rename the file every time you're checking.
I purchased a template / theme from RocketTheme, but I can't figure out how to add content at a specific position.
The templates have "module positions" that collapse. I'd like to add some content at one of the module positions.
If I add articles, they seem to go into "mainbody". But I'd like to have content in other areas of the template.
How do I take some text, images, or other content, and get them to display in these other positions (i.e., TOP-A, or FEATURE-A, etc)?
I've tried this
Go to Extensions->Module Manager
Select "New", Select "Sections"
Under "Details", I select Position->Top-A
I give it a title.
Nothing seems to happen. I don't see anything new exposed in the admin UI, and I don't see a way to get any content into this newly defined section. What am I not understanding?
go to JED and look up html in module or content in module or content in component there are a bunch of them. http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=module+content&start=20
Essentially
you create and save an article. Make sure it is saved to a section or category on your menu
open the module one of the paramaters will ask for the article id...decide which position and which pages you want it on and then publish.
You can also get modules that will take some or all of your articles in a category and then show them either as a slidedhow or one randomly when someone visits the page
