Hello first sorry if its a stupid question, but I amm a beginner, and im a bit lost.
For practice I decided to code a really small social network just for practice.
I worked on small CodeIgniter projects in the past, and the truth is I dont really like loading the header and footer in every controller.
So on YouTube I saw a video about creating basic templating.
But I can't really decide whether it is a good idea.
So how would it look like?
In my view folder I created 3 subfolders
- include
- template
- user
In the templates I have the main_template.php and that looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php base_url();?>themes/default/style.css">
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The controllers would contain different variables for the title and other stuff if needed for each view.
My question is: is it a bad idea not create header and footer files, and creating all views with including the html, head, and body tag like this?
I would recommend using a "header" and "footer". Otherwise it's going to get really messy when you'r trying to customize each template. I get passing down a few variables to the views; actually, that will come in really handy when setting the page's title, meta description, JS/CSS includes, etc. However if you keep your header/footer together, you will have to either pass the entire body in a variable or pass in the name of the specific view you want; in which case you would have to load the specific view inside this main view.
Don't know if I get you right. But, I will put some examples how to use the Template library.
It isn't included, you can take It here : http://gist.github.com/1519385.
Put the Template.php file in /application/libraries.
Make a directory on the views, name It "templates" and inside a "main.php".
This "main.php" file, the name describes it well, let's say that It is your Main template.
Example : http://pastie.org/3071074
There you can see the $content variable, It is defined on your controller.
Example : http://pastie.org/3071097
Thats a very basic example, you can extend It more as you need. Hope It helps.

I'm trying to change the default header in Intellij IDEA Community 2016.1
/**
* Created by ${USER} on ${DATE}.
*/
to have a date variable print an ISO 8601 date format instead of their usual platform-and-locale-dependent format. It's proving to be pretty damn difficult.
There's a configuration described in the help file, "Enable Live Templates" which supposedly enables live template variable parsing in file templates, so I made a very simple live variable, made it work in the editor, but I can't figure out how to make it work in file templates, not even by looking at their source code. I brute-forced everything I've read about Velocity templates, escaping, $variable, $variable$, #set directives, and all the combinations above... No dice.
Does anybody know what's going on? Or am I wrong about what that checkbox does?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the HTML file template that comes by default:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>#[[$Title$]]#</title>
</head>
<body>
#[[$END$]]#
</body>
</html>
Wrap your vars like #[[$VAR$]]#
What bit bothers me about django, is that I see in many examples that raw javascript is included in html with <script> tag. I would like to have it in independent files which are included in every page in <head> tag so that html stays clean. So that I will call something like {% add_jscript %}some js code{% endaddjsscript %} anywhere in the template to add js code. After all processing when the page is generated and it will dynamically collects all portions of added js code from processed templates and serve it as one js file.
Some app already does this or am I forced to do this on my own ?
I use django-sekizai (https://github.com/ojii/django-sekizai/) for this kind of thing. If I understand you correctly, I believe that is what you are looking for.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but another option you could try (shameless plug) is a django app i've been working on which will allow you to inject django variables directly into external javascript files, a la Require.js
django-js-variable-injector
If this seems not-so-helpful (Noting the 'too localized' close votes), then please tell me why. I think Django and JQuery UI make a pretty good team so it's worth working out any gotchas about using them. The answer to this question is not something I've found documented or in another question and is relevant to use of other widgets in other places.
And on to the question...
I have a django project in development mode. Inside its static directory I have the following file structure:
directory: js
jquery-1.9.1.js
jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.js
other_stuff.js
directory: css
directory: ui-lightness
directory: images
jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.css
jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.min.css
I'm trying to get the datepicker to work on one of my forms:
In my html head I have:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.css"/>
<script src="/static/js/jquery-1.9.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/static/js/jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#id_date_of_birth").datepicker();
});
</script>
And the input I am trying to change looks like:
<input type="text" size="10" id="id_date_of_birth" class="vDateField" value="1987-01-19" name="date_of_birth"/>
Now I know this question has been asked like a billion times before but none of the listed solutions I have read so far seem to work...Can anybody hazard a guess as to why I am getting the error$(...).datepicker is not a function ?
Stuff I've considered:
Everything seems to be included in the correct order. Other solutions mention including jquery ui's ...core.js but I think everything is included in jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.js because otherwise the jquery ui download page is very misleading (I chose to download every component and there is no effect)
No other errors came up except the one I mentioned. All scripts loaded correctly
Nothing is included more than once
I'm waiting until the document is ready before calling anything at all so my problem is not due to bad timing
If the directory structure you listed is accurate, your jquery files do not end with ".js", while your references to those files do have ".js" in the page header. Add the ".js" extension to your jquery files and it should work.
you should also close your input element:
<input type="text" size="10" id="id_date_of_birth" class="vDateField" value="1987-01-19" name="date_of_birth" **/**>
For some reason the link wanted a separate closing tag...
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.css"><link/>
This happened to me several times.
What i did was to copy the whole code (script) and placed it in the parent view.
If you're trying to place the script in a partial it may not work, try to put it in a higher level until you get the job done.
One example in django-oscar i had to place the script in the basket.html template to make it work in here:
{% include 'basket/partials/basket_content.html' %}
In Play! Framework v. 1.x there was such thing like a 'tag' where was possible to reuse some thml/template code.
In Play! Framework v 2.x, for me it is not clear still how it's going to be used (here).
For example, I want to use tag to define a header for my site (in order not to repeat myself, but just include the header every in the pages where I need it).
Could someone explain me / show how to use tags, or whatever I should use to include the header or any block of html/template code.
You showed us a sample and you are asking for sample :)
That's easy, create a common view in views.tags package (remember to leave first line empty if you're not gonna to pass any params! also remember to add brackets after tags name):
/app/views/tags/header.scala.html
<div id="header">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</div>
So you can 'include' it in any other view just with:
<body>
#tags.header()
Some other content
</body>
I have seen in videos, that people get html template by typing "html:5" or something like that (btw, they're not using notepad++). Is this possible in notepad++? Thanks.
A little late, but what you're looking for is called Zen Coding.
The Zen Coding project hosted on Google has a plugin for NotePad++ that should do exactly what you need.
For example, entering something like:
html>head+body>div#content>ul.nav>li*5
Followed by Ctrl + E, expands into:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<ul class="nav">
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now it's called Emmet plugin in Notepad++
Just type html:5 and press control + alt + enter
and you will get the following markup:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Option 1
Install and use the Notepad++ Snippets plugin.
You can input whatever code snippet you want and give each snippet a name.
When you double-click on your snippet name, the snippet text just gets copied to your editor (before or after your cursor, based on how you set it)
Option 2
If you don't have admin access or behind a firewall, there is a Macro hack.
If your template is a bit short, then you can use the built-in MACRO and manually key in the template text (a one-time operation per template). You can then "Save Current Recorded Macro" and replay it for every new file that you create. Emmet works only for html, but this technique works for any kind of text(as long as you can manually key-in the text)
Note: You cannot copy-paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V) text while recording as it will copy-paste current clipboard's contents which is undesirable!
For those who like step-by-step instructions:
Open Notepad++. Select Macro -> Start Recording.
Key-in your text (every key-stroke is now being recorded, so minimize backspaces and deletes)
Click : Macro -> Stop Recording
Click : Save Current Recorded Macro and give it a name (say "bash_header" or "html_structure")
Now click on your Macro name to repeatedly apply the template text to your notepad++ file.
Using NP++v6.1.4, I got this to work pretty quickly doing this:
Choose Plugins -> Plugin manager -> Show plugin manager
Wait for all the plugins to be shown, and check the box Emmet
It may alert you that Python will also be installed
Once it completes its installation, allow NP++ to be restarted, and now you can use the many Emmet features :)
Now, just type ! and hit ctrl-alt-enter.
You can use QuickText to create your own templates. It seems that QuickText isn't supported anymore, but it still works, the documentation just has some wrong content.
I use a program called Ditto, it's like a clipboard of all your copy-paste material. I have my prewritten syntax in there pinned. It helps.
In actuality, it is called marking up your code. Although "zen coding" is becoming well known in place of markup, it is the original term for building a structure for your code; which makes it easier for others to read.
As far as the template thing goes for Notepad++, I'm afraid that it is difficult to find public, custom made templates. Although the program does come with custom made templates, such as the Hello Kitty template, your best bet would be to ask people in online programming communities.
My personal favorite is DreamInCode, where they offer help and support, as well as pretty informative tutorials on numerous different computer programming and web development languages. I'm confident that if you can't find one you like that has been posted there, if any, someone would be glad to help you.
