Sitecore Web Forms for Marketers, add info to the display-section-legend class - sitecore

We are on Sitecore 8 using Web Forms for Marketers.
I am trying to identify how to add information to the "display-section-info" class item in a sitecore WFFM form. Looking # The generated code I see an element (display-section-info class) after the Field Legend, and before the starts of our fields. I would like to put some basic information regarding the fields in this element (below has text "THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TEXT").
Here is the source from "View Source" on the browser. Through developer tools I plugged in some info and that is exactly where I want it to go.
<fieldset class="display-section-fieldset">
<legend class="display-section-legend">1. OUTSIDE INTEREST:</legend>
<p class="display-section-info">THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TEXT</p>
<div class="display-section-content">
<div class=" field-border">
<span class=" field-title">
<span class=" field-required">*</span>
In the field below, list exceptions
</span>
Update1:
per Jammycans response I added a few parameters to the section but did not seem to display. items have been published, I also confirmed on the prod DB.
Content Editor
Results:
Thanks in advance

There is no field in the Form Editor to set this information, you can set it directly on the section item itself.
In the Content Editor, expand the form and select the Form Section item. On the section item in the Parameters field set the information field text you need:
<Information>THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TEXT</Information>
You can use the Localized Parameters field if you need to translate the text.
EDIT:
There is a bug in the logic on the default WFFM section view, located in \Views\Form\EditorTemplates\SectionModel.cshtml (for Sitecore 8 update 5 and earlier). On lines 18-21, the code reads:
#if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.Information))
{
<p class="#Model.CssClass display-section-info">#Html.Sitecore().Field("Information", Model.InnerItem)</p>
}
The first line here should read:
#if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.Information))
Note the "!". That explains why you were seeing the markup previously, even though the parameter was not set. You need to update the code in the view in order to fix it.

Bootstrap popover only shows one word of string

I have a set of popovers that show supplemental info upon hovering. They display, but only the first word of the string.
template:
<a data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="hover" data-content={{std.Description}} > <i class="fa fa-question"></i></a>
...
$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover();
The field in question is a Django TextField:
Description = models.TextField(blank=True)
Behavior:
This description had several words, but all after the first were cut off.
The solution is the same as for Contain form within a bootstrap popover? , though the title of the post may be misleading. The issue is that there need to be quotes containing the desired variable:
data-content="{{std.Description}}"
Additionally, if you want to include html in the popover (lists, <br>, etc.), include data-html="true".

How to render a link with a query string in Sitecore

I am trying to generate a link field on to the page, in the below format
<a class="book__btn" href="https://oc.axis.com/rez.aspx?submit=&shell=CASGCF">
Book
</a>
aspx:
<sc:Link ID="lnkBook" runat="server" Field="Target URL"></sc:Link>
<sc:FieldRenderer ID="frBook" runat="server" FieldName="Target URL"></sc:FieldRenderer>
aspx.cs:
Item offerDetails = this.DataSource;
lnkBook.Item = offerDetails;
frBook.Item = offerDetails;
The pic shows my declarations using Rocks
When the page is previewed, the button does not render at all. However, if I remove the text in the Query String field, it renders fine.
The Sitecore Rocks interface is a little misleading for links because the applicable fields do not change based on the link type. Query String is only supported for internal links. If you want to add a query string to your external link, just add it directly to the Url.

Sitecore SPEAK UI configure ListControl to display icon and button

Is there a way in Sitecore SPEAK UI (7.5) to configure a ListControl (ViewMode set to DetailList) to contain a column with images, and another column containing buttons?
I've created a ListControl Parameters item beneath my PageSettings item and have added a few ColumnField items for the required columns - but cant find any other template types to add for different types of column data. I've also tried playing around with the Formatter and HTMLTemplate fields of the ColumnFields but am not sure how these are meant to be used.
Considering button means hyperlink. You can try adding the following in the HTMLTemplate:
For Image:
<img src="{{YourImageSourceField}}" ..../>
For Hyperlink:
{{YourLinkTextField}}
You can also consider reading Martina Welander Speak Series for some information on this kind of custom implementations.
I've also used the custom title property of the ListView by setting ViewMode to TileList. Then used Knockout to databind to a custom tile using standard cshtml, if this is any use?
<div class="sc-tile-default" data-bind="attr: {id: Id}">
<div style="min-height: 98px;">
<img width="112" data-bind="attr: {src: Path}" />
</div>
<div class="sc-iconList-item-title">
<span data-bind="text: Name"></span>
</div>

CustomItemGenerator and the Page Editor

Sitecore 6.6 Update 4
We're using CustomItemGenerator 1.0 and I was using this to help build a primary navigation menu for a site. This worked as expected and everything was rendered properly.
My problem is when I attempt to edit the menu via Page Editor; I don't even see the menu.
I use a repeater and repeat over a list of links to include in the nav. Due to the way the HTML was created, each LI element needs to have its own, specific ID ("Nav Id" Field in Sitecore) that ties into the CSS. Code inside of my repeater's ItemDataBound event:
// Cast the item using CustomItemGenerator-generated class
GenericContentPageItem navItem = (GenericContentPageItem)e.Item.DataItem;
liMenuItem.ID = navItem.NavId.Rendered; // I tried "navItem.NavId" by itself as well
So while this renders properly in the browser, it doesn't when I'm in Page Editor:
<li id="<input id='fld_B72EB6696DCF41A49671972D5EA5DEB8_2163B90C08AB4A18970A7F3ECE79DCFC_en_1_f71bd37d18d146c19e222e89fcffe278_3' class='scFieldValue' name='fld_B72EB6696DCF41A49671972D5EA5DEB8_2163B90C08AB4A18970A7F3ECE79DCFC_en_1_f71bd37d18d146c19e222e89fcffe278_3' type='hidden' value=" Home?="">
... instead of it rendering like this:
<li id="Home">...</li>
Now, that having been said, I can change my code to not use the CustomItemGenerator and it works fine in the browser and Page Editor as follows:
GenericContentPageItem navItem = (GenericContentPageItem)e.Item.DataItem;
Item nav = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(navItem.ID);
liMenuItem.ID = nav.Fields["Nav Id"].ToString();
I would like to avoid having to hardcode field names in my code, which is why I am using CustomItemGenerator. Is there something that I'm doing wrong with my code that it doesn't want to work in Page Editor?
Thanks!
If you need the actual value out of the field regardless of if you are in the page editor or not, you want to use the Raw property:
liMenuItem.ID = navItem.NavId.Raw;

Using Bootstrap wysiwyg text editor in Django Form

I am using Django and Bootrap 2.32. I want to include this wysiwyg-bootrap-themed text editor: http://mindmup.github.io/bootstrap-wysiwyg/. The usage of this editor is fairly simple, including
$('#editor').wysiwyg();
in the JS-declaration will render each
<div class=editor></div>
into a beatiful wysiwyg text-editor.
Now the problem: I want to include this editor into one of my django form field. I have the single form:
class Article_Form(ModelForm):
Article_text = CharField(widget=Textarea(attrs = {'id' : 'editor'}))
class Meta:
model= Article
, whereas the Article model includes one simple CharField . Is there any chance, to get the editor work inside the Article_text form-field? With the above-mentioned widget, the created textarea cannot be controlled by the wysiwyg-editor-control buttons. Wrapping the form-template-tag like this
<div id="editor">
{{ Article_Form.Article_text }}
</div>
doesn't work either. The problem thus is that Django creates a textarea, wheras the editor would need a <div> to render correctly. Do you guys have any idea how to get this to work (without refering to django-wysiwyg).
Thanks!
I don't know enough about Django but I wrote the editor you're referring to, so here's a suggestion. Assuming the other answer on this page is correct and you can't generate a div directly, you can generate a text area using whatever Django templates you would normally do, then assign two events:
1) page onload event that would copy the textarea contents into the div, something like
$('#editor').html($('#textarea').val())
2) form onsubmit event that would reverse copy the current div contents into the textarea before it gets submitted
$('#textarea').val($('#editor').html())
Take a look at this.
Summernote is a simple WYSIWYG editor based on Twitter's Bootstrap.
django-summernote plugin allows you to embed Summernote into your Django admin page very handy.
https://github.com/lqez/django-summernote
Are you sure that this "plugin" doesn't work with textarea?
{{ Article_Form.Article_text }}
will be rendered to something like:
<textarea cols="40" id="id_Article_text" name="Article_text" rows="10"></textarea>
So there is a chance that you can initialize the wysiwyg editor like:
$('#id_Article_text').wysiwyg();
However after checking the plugin, I doubt that would be possible since it is using contenteditable="true" attribute of HTML5 and probably the plugin works with div only.
So there is no way you can make it work natively with Django form. The solution should be display other fields of your form manually, hide the one with textarea and display the editor instead:
<form action="" method="POST">
{{ Article_Form.field1 }}
{{ Article_Form.field2 }}
<div class=editor></div>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit-btn" />
</form>
Then you can use JS to submit your form:
$('#submit-btn').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
// do your magic here.
// note that you can get the content of the editor with: $('#editor').cleanHtml();
})
});
This way is hackish I agree so I don't recommend you go for it, just find other plugin then. Also please read PEP 8 carefully.
Hope it helps.

I think it solves most of your problems.
