The icCube's application structure allows to add several extra items, such as a JS Action. Is it possible to use this JS Action (or another item) to link to an external HTML, to - for example - show a help file/ quick reference card?
For opening a new page simply add the following to the body of your JS Action:
window.open( 'http://www.google.com', '_blank' );
is going to open Google.
Hope that helps.

I've created a new page Aikau, but I changed the XML file and the rendered page content between the standard Share header and footer disappeared.
In this page, I want the arguments of the query string, so I write this code:
page.get.desc.xml:
<webscript>
<shortname>My New Page</shortname>
<url>/hdp/ws/my-new-page</url>
<authentication>user</authentication>
</webscript>
page.get.js:
function main ()
{
// Get the args
var fileProp = args["test"];
model.temp = fileProp;
}
main();
page.get.html.ftl:
Test arg: ${temp}
I have to put /hdp/ws/my-new-page in the XML file to write the content of FTL file in this page... But why did the header and footer of the Alfresco template disappeared ? hdp serves for this purpose. And if I don't put the URL like that on the XML, the page appears with the template.
What is wrong in my code? Or how can I recover the template? Or add header and footer?
EDIT: I already try to put only /my-new-page without /hdp/ws/ but the args are null when I put /hdp/ws/. Give me a hint.
EDIT2: I already try to import alfresco-template.ftl but I can't. Any idea?
You don't actually need to include the the "hdp/ws" part in your WebScript descriptor. Only the "/my-new-page" is required. Aikau attempts to simplify the Surf page creation by providing a number of pages out-of-the-box (and the "hdp" page is just one of them).
Aikau uses URI-template mapping to match a single WebScript to a page, so for example in the URL:
/share/page/hdp/ws/my-new-page
share = application context
page = Spring MVC request dispatcher
hdp/ws/my-new-page is then mapped to the URI template:
<uri-template id="share-page">/{pageid}/ws/{webscript}</uri-template>
Where "hdp" is the id of the page to render and "my-new-page" is the WebScript URL. The HDP page uses the "webscript" token from the template to automatically create a new Surf Component and bind it to the WebScript.
But in short - don't include "hdp/ws" in your WebScript URLs for Aikau pages.
You need to make the things that you have on javascript server in this javascript mandatorily? If not, you can create a javascript client that receive the same arguments (location.search give to you the query string, so, you can make parse of that query string and get only the value of the "test" that you want) and call them on FTL file (the client-side javascript). So, when the page loading, it does not lose the arguments. It isn't the best solution but you can try this...
List template in dynamic data list in Liferay
I have already read this post and also another webapplicationdeveloper blogpost but not find any idea to get action button in customly applied template to dynamic data list.
I have also tried including that default record_action.jsp of dynamicdatalist portlet in vm template but its not working and also set the property below
journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables =
in portal-ext property but still I am not getting the action button in my custom template
I have already tried this :
#
set (
$categoriesService = $portal.getClass().forName("com.liferay.portlet.asset.service.AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil").getMethod("getService", null).invoke(null, null))
My answer is: Yessss, it works. But I want use a jstl lib (e.g. <aui> or <ui>) as well. In my opinion the simpliest way to do it is include jsp file to themeServletContext. Put your file.jsp into your theme:
your-theme/docroot/path/to/your/jsp/file.jsp
and paste this piece of code into your vm (for example portal_normal.vm):
$theme.include($themeServletContext, "/path/to/your/jsp/file.jsp")
In this case it unable to find the $theme variable my page displaying the $theme as it is...:(
Please help:
Leave velocity, it's too poor to use taglib, and switch to freemaker language: more powerfull and full support of taglib.
Here there is an example to use freemaker for theme develment, but it's good starting point also to template in dynamic data list.

we are planing to create a CMS with zf2 and doctrine orm .
actually we are concern about our cms templating
we want our system works with several templates and easily change between themes via admin
and creating a new templates should be easy for end-users developers
we want an advice or suggest for how to build templating system that :
there is a core module and there a lot sub modules with their own phtml
so where to store theme1 phtml and where to store theme2 phtmls ...
any suggest or advice please
thanks
I encourage you to take a look at Twig, its the best template engine I have seen so far :) It does take some time to learn Twig syntax, but its well worthy if you look at what you get :)
I cant yet write comments, so I wrote this as an answare.
Hope this helps. Trust me, the Twig is the way to go. Joust look at his documentation for more specific details how to use it!
EDIT:
The problem you are trying to solve has nothing to do with template engine. You can do that with any template engine. You can do it even with plain PHP if you want.
I built web application where users can register, get their own sub domain, and there they can build their webpage. Change theme, edit text, add pages. Simple CMS functionality.
The easiest way to do this is to have themes folder, where you would store themes, like this:
themes/
- themeBlue
- css/
- images/
- js/
- html or views/
- themeRose
...
Now this is where you would place all your themes, every theme has its own folder with images, css, js files...
And then you would have users, and every user would be able to choose and change theme.
That information would be stored in database. You need to store that user Jack is using themeBlue. You can do that as you want. You can event put this in users table like user_theme column.
Now when someone visits site, you first query database to see what theme is that user or creator of web using. And then you load all that files from current theme folder. And populate html files with data stored in database like in any other CMS.
This is the simplest implementation. You could for example, store css and html files in database :)
Hope this answers your question.
Good luck with that, I almost gone mad building my system :) I ended up with writing my own PHP MVC Framework joust to accomplish what I wanted.
if you activate another module in the application.config.php which has the same views and layouts (same folder structure and filenames) it's viewscripts and layouts will automatically be used when it's loaded after your core module.
so you could simply make your application.config.php dynamic to load the active template module which only contains the view folder. this would be a simple and effective solution without any other libraries.
additionally you can use an asset manager like assetic to also provide images, css etc. inside of your (template-)modules. (have a look at zf2-assetic-module, I wrote my own assetize-module based on assetic to fit my needs...)
Sina,
I do this in my Application->Module.php onBootstrap
$ss = $serviceManager->get('application_settings_service');
$settings = $ss->loadSettings();
$serviceManager->get('translator');
$templatePathResolver = $serviceManager->get('Zend\View\Resolver\TemplatePathStack');
$templatePathResolver->setPaths(array(__DIR__ . '/view/'.$settings['theme'])); // here is your skin name
$viewModel = $application->getMvcEvent()->getViewModel();
$viewModel->themeurl = 'theme/'.$settings['theme'].'/';
In this situation I have this structure in my view folder
view/
default/
application/
error/
layout/
zfcuser/
red/
application/
error/
layout/
zfcuser/
The $viewmodel above injects a variable into the layout for the themeurl in the public_html folder /theme/red/ with all assets for red
Access in layout.phtml -> themeurl;?> in a viewscript layout()->themeurl;?>
I am still working out my Dynamic Views. Right now I have a BaseController and all my ActionControllers extend it. It has a render() function that builds the required views but not sure its going to be scalable hoping to try some placeholder ideas.
application_settings_service is a Settings Service that gets settings for whatever domain was used to call the system and builds an array accessible via any service aware part of the site. Thats a whole different post and it may or may not rub MVC peeps the wrong way
I know your question is marked answered just thought I would share

I've recently installed the sitecore social connector module, and I've placed tweet and like buttons on a page, but I can't seem to control the content either sends to twitter/facebook. The tweet button sends the title of the page as the text to be tweeted, and I'd like to override this.
The facebook like link doesn't seem to do anything. If I go back to the same page, it still shows 1 like, but nothing has appeared on my facebook page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've decompiled the CodeBehind for the Tweet sublayout and it has this for code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string text = "var xmlhttp;if (window.XMLHttpRequest){ xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();}else{xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(\"Microsoft.XMLHTTP\");}xmlhttp.open(\"GET\",url,true);xmlhttp.send();";
string script = string.Format("<script>twttr.events.bind('tweet', function (event) {{var url = '{2}?itemid={1}&eventname={3}&buttontype=tweet';{4}}});</script>", new object[]
{
Sitecore.Context.User.Name.Replace('\\', '.'),
Sitecore.Context.Item.ID.ToString(),
"/layouts/system/Social/SocialEvents.aspx",
base.EventName,
text
});
this.Page.RegisterStartupScript("tweetsubscribe", script);
}
If you want to change it, you need to de-compile Sitecore.Social.dll which is in the package. Un-zip the package and open the files folder and the DLL will be in the /bin/.
If you don't have a decompiler, ILSpy is a great free one. You can do the same for the other feature, just de-compile and re-build in a local project with changes.
Update: just to clarify, you need to de-compile the current C# in the DLL to make changes to it. You can re-compile into a separate project, you just need to change the Inherits="" in the front-end of the control, e.g.
Instead of this:
Inherits="Sitecore.Social.Sharing.Controls.TweetButton"
Do something like this:
Inherits="MyProject.Sharing.Controls.TweetButton"
Apologies for the very late reply. I did not realise someone had asked me for a reply.
In the end I found it easier to just use the standard Twitter/Facebook controls. I have since learned that while Sitecore has some useful modules for handling CMS operations, it is often easier on the Content Delivery side to just use whatever web technology is the easiest to implement.

I've created a web browser using mfc and i'm using IHhmlReader to read the contents of html when the user enters a url in the browser and page is completely loaded.Now i want to check if the webpage has any flash in it.
Any Helps would be highly appreciated.
Thank You.
I think this is a bit difficult to do, just reading from the HTML source, unless you try to instantiate the page and see if it's making a call to the Flash object. I have listed some options you can try, but you'll need to make sure that the code element is not commented out and check include files and iframes to see if Flash is called from there.
* Look for the OBJECT and EMBED tags (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html)
* In page's JavaScript, look for SWFObject() call
* Look for the call to .swf file (could even be in an img tag)
Good luck...
