I'm currently developing a module for a friend and need to add a link into the admin flyout menus. I'd prefer not for him to have to edit the files, but so far that's the easiest way I've seen to insert these links (hardcoded into the admin header, that is).
The modules work so well that I can't believe there's no easy way to add in an admin link as such. I could always add it into the module settings page, but that seems to defy the purpose of the module settings.
Any help is appreciated.
The simplest way is to edit all the necessary files, thus controller admin/controller/common/header.php - add the name of the link and the action of the link, language file admin/language/<THE_LANGUAGE(S)>/common/header.php - add the entry name, the template admin/view/template/common/header.tpl - add the menu link entry where applicable.
Little harder way is to do the same via vQmod extension...
Can you not just have a script that appends your <li> to <ul id="menu"> when the page is loaded?

I'm creating website with Wagtail and i'd like to understand menu wagtail-way. I found solutions with templatetags or with menu-items. This is simple and working. But Wagtail solves if i need to add some item (link to external site, link to webpage with filters aso...) and how menu can be rearanged? I'm tried to search Wagtail "doc", but it keeps talking just about admin menu and for simple menu there nothing more than few simple hints about parent and children of the Page.
Thanks for any advice or link to doc.
You are correct that Wagtail itself does not include menu management features. If modifying templates to manipulate menus is not an adequate solution (e.g. site editors will need to modify the menu in the future), you will have to either create your own custom logic or use an external library like https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus.
I am using a theme called Hemingway, it's a great theme with three page layouts. (full-width, with sidebar, without sidebar). This is all working great. I can choose one of three options in page settings.
I'm also using the Projects plugin by Woothemes. This plugin makes it easy to add recent projects with a photo gallery and some other options. It's working when I'm using the shortcode:
[projects limit="12" columns="2" orderby="date" order="desc" exclude_categories=""]
I'm using this shortcode with two columns on a full-width template. This is working great, but when I'm trying to use the functionality to automatically add the content of projects to the page using the option built-in Projects:
The full-width template is not working and the sidebar is shown. Also the two column layout for projects is not working. They just aligned beneath eachother.
How it should look like (this example is with shortcodes):
http://hoveniersbedrijfameland.nl/projecten/
How it looks with the option in projects to choose a page: (this is wrong)
http://hoveniersbedrijfameland.nl/projects/
How can I debug this to see what breaks it?
What I tried so far:
I've tried the plugin to behave like I want. This means, that the
plugin will use the full page template for 'categories' instead of
using the archive page. I don't really know how the plugin is build,
so it's hard to eit the right file.
I've tried a workaround with url routing, but this isn't the best
approach.
I found a solution. I copied the archive-project.php file to my theme and edited the content with the ones in the full-width template. I need to style it myself because the pages are broken if I leave it like that.
If I want to edit page template now, I need to code it in the ffile instead of choosing it from the pages > page layout in the admin panel.
I'll fix that later.
FINAL UPDATE: I hardcoded everything and it's working for me now. I don't need any further help, I'm now looking into the custom post types to change the content template.
I am beginner to joomla, currently using version 2.5. I have came across a problem with pagination. In my site pagination on all the pages were working well, but suddenly, I don't see any pagination for any page. I don't realized, what setting from admin panel I have changed. I have checked the settings from the Article Manger->options->Shared Options, but all are ok.
Is there any other settings in admin panel to show pagination?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
You must seach this in Article Manger->options->"First Tab"
But it can be also placed in the main menu item: Menu->MainMenu->"First item" general settings...
I have realize the problem, when I put <jdoc:include type="module" name="cblogin" /> in my template file, then all the pagination links get disappeared. I have also checked with putting below code -
jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
$mods = JModuleHelper::getModules('cblogin');
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($mods[0]);
but, nothing has changed. Is there any other solution to load module into html code?
If you want to add modules to articles, one way is to add a custom position to the article then assign the module to that position. In the article editor add this code
[loadposition myNewPosition]
Then you can assign any module to myNewPosition on the position option. Make sure the module is assigned to all pages.
I'm a beginner on Opencart and just started developing a module for Opencart which it must inject some lines of javascript and html code in these pages:
- Cart Page
- Product Page
- Confirmation Order Page
- Register form page
The official documentation doesn't have informations about how can i do that, I've tried to find a good documentation about OpenCart but I didn't find anything.
I need help. How can I do that?
Diggin necro topics;) :
The easiest way i think:
upload/catalog/view/theme/[themename]/template/product/product.tpl - here you can add your custom html for product page
[your theme name, you shouldnt overwrite default theme because it can cause damage after update]
It depends on where you're trying to insert the HTML/JavaScript.
Doing things the proper way in OpenCart, you're limited to the column-left, column-right, content-top, and content-bottom positions.
The files you'll need to create are:
admin/controller/module/mymodule.php
admin/language/english/module/mymodule.php
admin/view/template/module/mymodule.tpl
catalog/controller/module/mymodule.php
catalog/language/module/mymodule.php
catalog/view/theme/default/module/mymodule.php
To learn how to do this the first time, it's easiest to replicate an existing stock OpenCart module (preferably a simple one, such as information). Once you've replicated it you'll need to go through each of those files and replace any references to "information" with "mymodule".
After that, if you've done it properly, you should be able to navigate to Admin > Extensions > Modules and see your module in there. Then install it, use the "Add module" button to position the module on all the relevant layouts, hit save and hey presto you have a working module on the front-end.
To modify the front-end output, just edit catalog/view/theme/default/module/mymodule.php
If you want to insert your HTML somewhere other than the 4 available positions OpenCart gives you, position your module in the content-bottom position and use JavaScript/jQuery to inject some HTML where you want.
If this is for your own personal website then as Pawel S suggested it would be easiest to simply modify the relevant view files (ie. catalog/view/theme/[themename]/template/product/product.tpl), however if you're making a module which you plan to distribute then this should be a last resort.
Hope that helps!
I realize this is probably long dead by now, but if you're creating a module that needs to modify existing controllers, languages, models or views the correct tool to use is vQMod.
vQMod allows you to modify existing code on the fly using XML.

How can I include a page from magnolia into a magnolia template script?
In the template script with I can access data from a specific page, but how can I load that page into the template?
Let's say I have 2 pages each with its own template. Page 1 contains in its tree page 2. I want to include in the template script of page 1, page 2, but doesn't work.
Thank you very much :)
UPDATED
What I actually want to do is include my header in all of my project's pages. But I don't want to put it as a paragraph, because if I ever want to change my header, I'll have to edit all the project's pages.
So what I try to do and I don't know if this is the correct approach is to create a page template for the header. This template won't include any , or css, it's just the code for the header.
The next thing I want to do is create a page in magnolia with that model to be the header.
Next I'd like to include the page I've just created in my main template model for the project, but I can't figure how to do that.
I am new to Magnolia cms and initially I tried creating my demo site using stk. The only problem was that I couldn't use jsp as a scripting language, or at least I couldn't find any solution on the internet. I don't really know freemarker, but that's not really a big problem. I'm really reluctant in using freemarker because maybe in the future in a more complex project I might need some features that freemarker doesn't support, but jsp does. I'd like to build my site using jsp if that's possible with magnolia.
I'm sorry for this long update, but if anyone has any suggestions on what a best practice could be and if I could implement what I want in jsp I would be really grateful.
Thanks again for you time :)
If you're using the STK then see this guide on content-reuse.
If not have a look at the cms tag-lib, especially the tags cms:loadPage and cms:setNode with which you can get a piece of content and set it as a JSP/JSTL variable and then render it using cms:includeTemplate.
A common scenario is to 'inherit' content from the parent page, the header is an excellent example of this. What you do is for an area you walk up the content hierarchy and render everything from the parent pages in their area with the same name. This way the header which you've only added to the top page is included in all its children.
Another option is to a have special page which simply holds things to be included in other pages. Like header, footer and banners that should go in the side pane of some pages.
Including a page within another page doesn't really work. Page 2 already has its own <html> tags, its own <script> tags, and its own CSS, so including it wholesale into another page just simply doesn't make sense.
You do, however, have a couple of options:
Use an iframe. This will allow you to include the entirety of Page 2 in a region of Page 1.
More recent versions of Magnolia will allow you to render an individual paragraph, which you could then include in another page. (For example, you can see a single paragraph from http://demopublic.magnolia-cms.com/demo-project/about/subsection-articles.html at http://demopublic.magnolia-cms.com/demo-project/about/subsection-articles/article/main/0.html.) This requires knowing a bit about the way the data is structured, but is a pretty useful way to be able to selectively extracts bits of a page.
You can use the Magnolia API in your model class to pull data from sub-pages, and then make it available to your view template. This is the approach the STK uses to build teasers that include content from the pages they reference, and is probably the most powerful and flexible approach, but it does require actually writing some Java code. (See http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templating/stk/templating.html and http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/templating.html for details of how to use this approach.)
(Added after question was edited) The footer functionality that's included with the STK does almost exactly this. You might be interested to take a look at that and see how it's implemented there.
Hope that helps a bit!
