In my index.gsp for one of the column values for a table I provide the following:
<td><g:link action = "redirect(url: 'http://www.google.com')">www.google.com</g:link></td>
However, the link that shows on the page is ->
http://localhost:8080/APP_NAME/VIEW_NAME/redirect(url: 'http://www.google.com')
What's the workaround to avoid the inclusion of the base url in the beginning. I want the link to be the absolute URL ->
http://www.google.com
Based on some of the comments below, the following works ->
<td><a href='http://www.google.com'>www.google.com</a></td>
However, when I reference the field of a bean that I wish to display like this ->
<td><a href=${fieldValue(bean: testRunInstance, field: "artifactLink")}>${fieldValue(bean: testRunInstance, field: "artifactLink")}</a></td>
the link displays correct (www.google.com), while the actual link resolves to ->
http://localhost:8080/APP_NAME/www.google.com
How do I eliminate the reference to the below Base URL?
http://localhost:8080/APP_NAME/
or this, if you want <g:link>
<g:link url="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</g:link>
Use the tag anchor of the standard HTML
<a href='http://www.google.com'>www.google.com</a>
EDIT
You can change:
<td><a href=${fieldValue(bean: testRunInstance, field: "artifactLink")}>${fieldValue(bean: testRunInstance, field: "artifactLink")}</a></td>
By:
<td>
<a href="http://${testRunInstance.artifactLink}">
${fieldValue(bean: testRunInstance, field: "artifactLink")}
</a>
</td>
i think you can use
<g:link url="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</g:link>
// Example, where artifactLink has a value, ddg.gg
<g:link base="http://" uri="${bean.artifactLink}">${bean.artifactLink}</g:link>
// Generates
ddg.gg
// Example, where artifactLink has a value, http://ddg.gg
<g:link base="http://" uri="${bean.artifactLink}">${bean.artifactLink}</g:link>
// Generates
http://ddg.gg
// Example, where artifactLink has a value, https://ddg.gg
<g:link base="http://" uri="${bean.artifactLink}">${bean.artifactLink}</g:link>
// Generates
https://ddg.gg
It ignores the base attribute altogether, when encounter a protocol in front of the uri value. Notice, it doesn't repeat http:// in the 2nd example, and used https:// instead, in the last one.
Moreover, you can specify target="_blank", so page loads in a new tab or window.
NB: Should work for Grails 3.2 or >.

I'm making a custom multifield breadcrumb component with this code.
<ul class="breadcrumb-list">
<li class="breadcrumb-item" data-sly-repeat.textItem="${properties.text}">
<a class="breadcrumb-link" href="${properties.link['textItemList.index']}">${textItem}</a>
<p class="works">${properties.link[textItemList.index]}</p>
<p class="doesn't work">${properties.link['textItemList.index']}</p>
<span>//</span>
</li>
</ul>
I've added the paragraph elements to show how my properties display.
This is the html output:
If I remove the single quotes as in p class="works", the value displays the breadcrumb item's link value. If I add the single quotes as in p class="doesn't work", nothing displays.
You'd think that removing the quotes from the same value in the href would display my link as the href; however, when i remove the quotes in the href value, it removes the anchor tag altogether. when i add them back in, i can still see the anchor tag, but there is no href attribute at all, only the breadcrumb-link class.
How can I get the href value to show a link?
AEM evaluates al href before rendering the resulting html.
If the link is invalid it will not put anything under href
If the expression is invalid it will wipe out all the section
Have you tested with valid links?
This will not work only with plain text.
when i add them back in, i can still see the anchor tag, but there is no href attribute at all, only the breadcrumb-link class. - That is the expected behaviour. Because you have an array of links and putting the quotes will try to obtain an entry in the array by the 'textItemList.index' key, like you would do in a map, instead by the index. Nothing is found of course, so the anchor point is rendered without the href attribute.
when i remove the quotes in the href value, it removes the anchor tag altogether. - That is not the expected behaviour. Since you exemplify that inside the paragraph it works, then I suppose this is a display context issue. HTL should implicitly uses the uri context for href attribute values and text for content inside HTML elements according to the documentation.
Try explicitly mention the context like href="${properties.link[textItemList.index] # context = 'uri'}" or href="${properties.link[textItemList.index] # context = 'text'}", or check the contexts mentioned in the doc - unsafe should ultimately do the job.
None of this context worked for me, and Im facing the same issue, if I remove the single quote "'" it will display the href just ok, but since my href includes it none of the context mentioned above is doing the job.
Is there any solution for this out there?
So if I want a user's name to link to it's profile, I want the link to contain the user's first name and last name in GET form...Do I just hard-code this into the link, or is there a more elegant way of coding this? Here is hard-coded:
<p>
<li role="presentation" class="active">{{ user.fname }}
</li>
</p>
Yes, the more elegant way would be to set up a route that takes, for example, the user's ID (pk) and use either a DetailView set up for the User model or a function view that accepts the ID and retrieves the relevant user. Passing in the first and last name directly means you need to query on both of them (after pulling them out of the querystring) rather than simply querying on the ID as it's passed to you (after the framework politely checks its type, provided you've set up the route correctly).
So your route would look something like url(r'^profile/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', ProfileView.as_view(), name='profile') and your template tag would look something like {% url 'profile' user.id %}.
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.
As part of an SEO enhancement project, I've been tasked with adding the following property inside the markup for the image that the field renderer is generating on the page:
itemprop="contentURL" - before the closing tag.
<sc:FieldRenderer ID='FieldRenderer_MainImage' Runat='server' FieldName='Homepage Image'
CssClass="_image" Parameters="w=150" itemprop="contentURL" />
When I tried to place this inside the Field Renderer, or add it as a "parameter" - it doesn't work.
Is there another way to do this, without having to create a control file and generate the output in the code-behind?
You need to use the "Parameters" property for setting extra properties on both the and control.
You can to it like this :
<sc:FieldRenderer ID="PageImage" runat="server" FieldName="ContentImage" Parameters="ControlType=C4Image&rel=relString" />
<sc:Image ID="SCPageImage" runat="server" Field="ContentImage" Parameters="ControlType=C4Image&rel=relString" />
That will be rendered like this :
<img width="1232" height="637" controltype="C4Image" rel="relString" alt="" src="~/media/Images/DEMO backgrounds/background2.ashx">
Note: This works in 6.5 and 6.6 - not sure which version is being used in this question.
Couldn't this be done by extending the RenderField pipeline? You could potentially decompile (using Reflector or ILSpy) the GetImageFieldValue and add your own logic to adjust the output from the ImageRenderer?
Reference Sitecore.Pipelines.RenderField.GetImageFieldValue.
In cases where "Parameters" doesn't work or trying to create a Custom control, and instead of wrapping the control in a classed div like this:
<div class="my-class">
<sc:FieldRenderer runat="server" />
</div>
You can use this:
<sc:FieldRenderer Before="<div class='my-class'>" After="</div>" runat="server" />
Notice the Single quotes in the class declaration of the div above.
This keeps it a little cleaner and in context with the Sitecore control instead of a Web Developer adding an external div that might later lose its context if changes occur.
I recommend saving yourself some trouble and using the MVC version of Sitecore though, now, (when starting new Sitecore projects), as you can very simply add a class to it like so:
How can I get Sitecore Field Renderer to use a css class for an image
You actually cannot do this on a FieldRenderer. You're options are:
Extend the FieldRenderer with the ability to do this (this will likely require a high level of effort)
Use a regular .NET control and bind the data from the Sitecore item via the C# code-behind.
You may want to try using the <sc:image /> tag.
If you add a custom parameter there, it's added as an attribute to the img tag.
In your case the tag will look like this:
<sc:image runat="server" field="Homepage Image" width="150" itemprop="contentURL" class="_image" />
using mvc, I found this was easier than extending the FieldRender, should be reusable, but will have to test a bit more. WIP.
var image = "<span class=\"rightImage\">" + FieldRenderer.Render(contentBlock, "Image", "mw=300") + "</span>";
var text = FieldRenderer.Render(contentBlock, "Text");
model.Text = FieldRendererHelper.InjectIntoRenderer(text, image, "<p>");
public static HtmlString InjectIntoRenderer(string parentField, string injectField, string injectTag)
{
return new HtmlString(parentField.Insert(parentField.IndexOf(injectTag, StringComparison.InvariantCulture) + injectTag.Length, injectField));
}
I'm trying to find a way to dynamically set default form values. So for example, if I add a facebook login feature on my webpage, and I can get his first name and last name from what the facebook javascript returns, I want to be able to set these values as the new "value" parameter in the given form. (basically so I'm able to put the user in my database)
I was hoping that there is some sort of
{{ form.firstname.default = Javascript.return.firstname }}
that I can insert into a template but there isn't...
Any ideas? Thank you.
Edit;; Maybe it would be better to first pass in the information into a views.py? But how would I do this? I am just considering hand writing the inputs out in the javascript field, which would be annoying...
You can set the default value of a template variable:
{{ form.firstname|default:Javascript.return.firstname }}
assuming that {{ Javascript.return.firstname }} is valid in that template context.
The code generated by Django is all server-side, its templates can't use anything which isn't available when the page is loaded. You need to use javascript to set the value.
For example, if your form looks like this:
<form id="login">
<input name="firstname" />
</form>
You could use this javascript (assuming you're using jQuery):
// Do the facebook login, set the var fname to the first name, then:
$('#login [name=firstname]').val(fname);
