What I use:
- Joomla 2.5
- gantry framework
Need:
I must place in my homepage a slideshow module inside the mainbody as a featured article.
What I did:
Installed a slideshow module and placed temporary inside gantry's maintop-a position to see if it worked (it did), then moved in a non-previously-exsisting 'slideshow' position.
Created a new article, with this content: {loadposition slideshow} and set it to featured state.
Result:
the article was published correctly but the introtext char limit trimmed the actual module code to 100 chars making it useless.
What I already tried to fix the issue:
Modified my slideshow article from database adding the loadmodule code in the fulltext field (which was originally empty),
then modified components/com_content/view/featured/tmpl/default_item.php replacing echo $this->item->introtext; with an if to identify my slideshow article id then query the database to find the fulltext field and echo it. this thingy works but the loadmodule function isn't, so it's displayed as simple HTML. I deduce that introtext is treated differently than fulltext since what's inside the brackets is interpreted as code only when echoed as introtext, and I miss that layer.
Modified modules/mod_articles_category/helper.php to break the 100 introtext_limit, sadly finding that's not called for my featured articles (added dump($item, 'some name') which returns only the articles that are inside my news sidebar, even if all my featured articles including slideshow are categorized)
tried a million different combinations of the above (i.e.:{loadmodule slideshow}{module [myslideshow_article_id]} <- a module loader plugin i tried, ...) which are too long to put here.
Searched the whole project folder for files containing 'introtext' inside their code, finding alot, but nothing that actually trims it (except helper.php of course)
Searched the Joomla API
Googled for everything that came into my mind finding no working solutions.
Came Here :)
Thanks
If you want to show a module inside an artice, you can use an component to show them there.
In my experience, this works on normal and featured articles, so this might work for you:

I hope this was helpfull, since this is my first answer here.

I've inherited an opencart 1.5.5.1 site and am completely new to the cms. From what I've been able to gather, it was built by a competent developer but then went through a hack-it-up development team, and then on to me. So, I really don't know what all to expect from it.
I currently have a module that is rendering in the left sidebar and I don't know why it's rendering there. The only file I can find in the file stack related at all to this "module" is a single template file within the catalog directory structure called:
/catalog/view/theme/mytheme/template/module/affiliate_profile_select.tpl
All of the other installed modules on the site seem to have lots of other files associated with them, whose locations are verified by the research I've done on creating opencart modules: ie, module files in the following directories:
/catalog/controller/module/
/catalog/language/english/module/
/catalog/model/module/
/catalog/view/theme/mytheme/template/module/
/admin/controller/module/
/admin/language/english/module/
/admin/model/module/
/admin/view/template/module/
From what I've been able to find though, this single file (affiliate_profile_select.tpl) is the only file in the file stack that is associated with this module.
I can't find anything related to this module, and/or file, inside any of the vqmod php or xml files.
I can't find anything related to this module in the admin area. I've tried searching through all of the installed modules for other generic identifiers (the section view is rendering at the very top of the left-sidebar on most non-logged-in pages, so I'm looking for layout locations of "Left Sidebar" and positions less than 2), but haven't found anything.
And yet, the section is obviously rendering on the site, so it has to be there somewhere. In fact, it's rendering in two places. It's also in the top-content section of the mobile view of the home page.
Right now it's almost feeling like it was a module that had been written, installed, and configured, and then someone deleted all but one of the files associated with the module. Could a situation like that happen?
Is there any way to track this issue down by querying the database? Or would the template inclusion obviously be inside a file somewhere and I just need to find it? To complicate matters, the hosting company doesn't allow remote login with a console (from what I can tell). Otherwise I'd just have run a grep for the filename in case someone had just thrown an "include()" statement in somewhere. The only place I've checked for something like that so far was in the left-sidebar template file:
/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/column_left.tpl
but it's just a simple for-loop that echoes out the module views.
Any help or direction on how I might be able to track this problem down would be of significant help.
In Opencart, .tpl (template) files are always called by controllers which as you probably guessed are in catalog/controller/. An if it's a module (showing in left sidebar position, it's probably going to be in catalog/controller/module/. First order of business would be to find the controller that's calling the template you referred to. I'd probably start by getting into a shell and doing something like this from the site's docroot:
grep -r affiliate_profile_select .
From there you should be able to find the associated module controller and any other logic involved. Sometimes people use vQmod to add something on to a pre-existing module so that can possibly explain the lack of other similarly named files.
am using django ckeditor. Any text/content entered into its editor renders raw html output on the webpage.
for ex: this is rendered output of ckeditor field (RichTextField) on a webpage;
<p><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">this is a test file ’s forces durin</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">galla’s good test is one that fails Thereafter, never to fail in real environment. </span></p>
I have been looking for a solution for a long time now but unable to find one :( There are some questions which are similar but none of those have been able to help. It will be helpful if any changes suggested are provided with the exact location where it needs to be changed. Needless to say I am a newbie.
Thanks
You need to mark the relevant variable that contains the html snippet in your template as safe
Obviously you should be sure, that the text comes from trusted users and is safe, because with the safe filter you are disabling a security feature (autoescaping) that Django applies per default.
If your ckeditor is part of a comment form and your mark the entered text as safe, anybody with access to the form could inject Javascipt and other (potentially nasty) stuff in your page.
The whole story is explained pretty well in the official docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#automatic-html-escaping
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 am currently trying to understand a bit more about how Orchard handles Lists of Custom Content Types and I have run into a bit of an issue.
I created a Content Type named Story, which has the following parts:
Body
Common
Containable
Route
I created a list that holds these items, and all I am attempting to do is style them in such a way:
Story Title
Story Description (Basically a truncated version of the body?)
However, I cannot seem to figure out how to do the following:
Get the Title to actually appear (Currently all that appears is the body and a more link)
Remove the "more" link (and change this to be the actual Title)
I have looked into changing the Placement.info, and have looked all over in an attempt to find where the "more" link is added in each of the items. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I finally managed to figure it out - Thanks to the Designer Tools Module, which made it very simple to go look into what was going on behind the scenes during Page Generation.
Basically - all that was necessary to accomplish this was to make some minor changes to the Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml file. (found via ../Core/Common/Views/)
Which initially resembles the following:
#{
[~.ContentItem] contentItem = Model.ContentPart.ContentItem;
string bodyHtml = Model.Html.ToString();
var body = new HtmlString(Html.Excerpt(bodyHtml, 200).ToString()
.Replace(Environment.NewLine,"</p>"+Environment.NewLine+"<p>"));
}
<p>#body #Html.ItemDisplayLink(T("more").ToString(), contentItem)</p>
however by making a few changes (by using the Designer Tools) I change it into the following:
#{
[~.ContentItem] contentItem = Model.ContentPart.ContentItem;
string bodyHtml = Model.Html.ToString();
string title = Model.ContentPart.ContentItem.RoutePart.Title;
string summary = Html.Excerpt(bodyHtml, 100) + "...";
}
<div class='story'>
<p>
#Html.ItemDisplayLink(title, contentItem)
</p>
<summary>
#summary
</summary>
</div>
Although it could easily be shortened a bit - It does make the styling quite a big easier to handle. Anyways - I hope this helps :)
Alternately you can use the placement.info file in your theme assign different fields to your Summary and Detail views. It's much simplier.
http://orchardproject.net/docs/Understanding-placement-info.ashx
But, I used the same method you did till I discovered the .info file as well. It works and gives you a good understanding of how the system works, but the placement.info file seems easier.
Also, you probably don't want to be editing the view files in Core. I think your meant to override views in your theme directory.
I know the Confluence wiki pretty well, and I like much the natural hierarchy of pages you get there. I have to use now a Trac wiki (which is not that bad, same root as MoinMoin), and am searching the feature here. What I want to reach:
Edit the page "MyPage" and enter there the link to a page you want to be a subpage, eg. MySubPage.
The link should be similar to /MySubPage or [/MySubPage]. The character "/" denotes that the resulting page should be a subpage of the current one.
Follow the link, create the new page with some content.
You should now see, that "MySubPage" is a subpage of "MyPage". You could reach the subpage from anywhere by the link MyPage/MySubPage.
The MoinMoin wiki has that feature at least from version 1.5.x, and I have used that regularily. Is there something similar in Trac? Do I have to install then a plugin?
Thank you a lot
Markus
Well, not the best thing to answer the own question, but just something I found out.
* SubpageFirst
* SubpageSecond
* SubpageThird
* SubpageFourth
leads to (of course) four pages, but when you have a look at them in Title Index, you will see:
* Subpage
* First
* Second
* Third
* Fourth
Not what I have searched for, but comes near.
The only way I have found to do something like this is to specify the full path to the page. For your example this would be [[MyPage/MySubPage]]. You then get a hierarchy in TitleIndex, but it leaves much to be desired in terms of presenting a Parent/Child relationship.
I think, as retracile mentioned, that MyPage/MySubPage does not create a true hierarchy, but rather just a page containing a forward slash in the name, and in TitleIndex the pages are presented such that they appear to be in a hierarchy (but often do not display the way you would like; as I mentioned it leaves much to be desired).
Parent-child wiki pages aren't directly modeled in Trac. Essentially, "/" is allowed as part of a wiki page name.
You should be able to create a macro that does something like what you want; essentially:
[[sub(MySubPage)]]
