I need to make some parts in template show or hide based on what page i'm on. I know I can make multiple themes in liferay-look-and-feel.xml file and give settings but this creates multiple themes in admin.
Is there some other way like accessing info about what portlets are on this page. Lets say if it has log in portlet then don't show navigation links for example?
I think the simple way is to add this function over javascript. With javascript you can e.g. observe existing of login-portlet-id and then hide the navigation.
In liferay template, a velocity variable is available called the $processor. It is nothing but object of
com.liferay.portlet.layoutconfiguration.util.velocity.TemplateProcessor
The portletId is available in this object, but there is no direct method to get it. Please have a look at:
TemplateProcessor.java.html
Once you get the portletId, then you can write the logic to hide certain sections.

I'm a greenhorn with typo3 templating. Actually I'm using "bootstrap_package" (standard layout). I would like to create a sub-page without logo, menu and footnote. I just want to have the content elements on a blank page. How do I do this? Can anyone help me?
Best regards

You should give some more information why you need such a special rendering to get some more detailed help.
The usual reasons for such a page are design flaws as there are more suitable solutions inside TYPO3.
In general: You need to create a new page rendering, where you switch off the generation of the HTML header.
add on:
make a page where you collect all the pages which should be available in this special rendering. This page should be a subpage from your root-page. regarding relaurl: [x] exclude from path
in this page create a typoscript template record.
as these pages need only one rendering I propose to modify the default page object instead of creating a new page object (with a new typeNum).
in the setup field of this template record remove all headers with:
config.disableAllHeaderCode = 1
You might need to disable further CSS and JS, especially if they are loaded at the end of the page.
if you need another html-markup than the default you can modify the configuration here: wraps, (fluid-)templates, ...
Then add your special pages with content.
Is there any magic why to do this in admin panel of django?
Let me know
Off the top of my head, you could use JS to grab the popup link and load the HTML in a div on the page. But that means you need to override the admin template. This QA should be helpful.
It also means you need to capture the saving of the new house. So, when someone presses save, depending on the response, the div either closes or shows the errors WITHOUT refreshing th page. I'm not sure but I think you'll also need to override the admin view that does this to send back json responses.
OR
You could use JS to mute that link and call up your own url, which would allow you to create your own view with your own custom form that does this. This would give you a bit more control without having to hack away at the Admin functionality.
e.g /house/ajax_add
You'll need to refresh the options in the House dropdown though. So I don't think you can avoid extending the template, now that I think about it.
It seems like a lot of trouble, really. No magic way that I know of, but it's possible.
To avoid popups, you might want to look at https://github.com/FZambia/django-fm:
Django-fm allows to create AJAX forms for creating, editing, deleting
objects in Django. This is a very personalized approach to quickly
build admin-like interfaces.
A live example can be found on http://djangofm.herokuapp.com/.
I'm not sure how this integrates with the current admin site, but with some changes it should not be hard.
Does anyone know of any way to customise the Workflow Comments box that appears in Sitecore if you enable the "comments" option?
I'm looking to extend this a little ... but can't see this referenced in any sitecore javascript or shell files - I'm guessing I will need to build a custom dialog in its entirety to implement the functionality I want, but not 100% where to start!
We ended up putting a solution in place that, broadly, composes of a custom action, containing the relevant form that we need. The information that the user submitted was then parsed, and passed to the workflow as comments (this particular workflow command was hidden from users, so they had to go through our custom one).
Not ideal, but works!
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!
Is it possible, on a Django webapp, to hide certain links from those users who do not have the permission to click the link?
I bet there is a per-link way to check if the user has persmission to click the link, and then show the link (or not) based on that test. However, when there are a lot links spread across a whole bunch of web pages, that can be ridiculously tedious. Are there any ways to achieve this across the whole website with a setting or something?
write a template tag similar to spaceless that goes over its contents and removes all links that are not accessible. this would save you from having to touch each link manually.
It might be possible to write a custom template tag that would accept a link url, reverse it, introspect what permissions were required for the target view, and then conditionally display it.
You'd still have to touch every link in every template that you wanted to make fancy like that, and it would probably be an ugly beast. All in all, it's probably easier if you come up with a more centralized way to control access.
