I'm trying to add a custom link to the menu on MODX Evolution by using DLMenu snippet. Menu displays pages, and after the second point I need to add an anchor link on the main page ... is it possible to somehow implement this at the template level, or apply certain filters?
Thanks for the help,
Alexey
Please share your DLMenu snippet call. If I understand correctly you need to use rowTpl/ rowHereTpl parameters, please use chunk here instead INLINE code and specify the next (snippet If is used):
<li[+classes+]>[+title+]</li>
[[if? &is=`[+iteration+]:=:2` &then=`<li>Home</li>`]]

I am new to Liferay, and I still don't know the difference between the various 'kind' of Liferays.
This Liferay is what I am talking about.
I understand that you have to create a page first, and then add components (fragments) in it.
I also understand that you can go to fragments, and create a custom fragment with a custom CSS, and then import it into your page.
However, what I want to do is have a global CSS that I can use for all fragments inside a page, rather than having to add CSS for each fragment.
Is that possible, and if so, how?
I know I can use the 'style-books' which apply to an entire page, however, I don't know how to customize them, and it doesn't seem that that's even possible.
To avoid coding, you can use the css additional textbox provide by theme settings.
It's a whole page css addon for every pages in the site
I really hope I'm making sense with this one.
I'm trying to create a widget from a custom webpart that I created. It's nothing special at all as you can see:
<h3>Header</h3>
<p>Intro Copy</p>
<ul>
<li>List item one</li>
<li>List item two</li>
<li>List item three</li>
</ul>
I now want to be able to create a widget from this and create new fields that will be used to populate the above DOM. What do I need to do in order or do this.
In an example I saw for the demo site, they populated the bg image with:
style="background-image: url('{% ResolveUrl(PathToImage) %}');"
That was however done on the front facing part of the CMS and I'm trying to do it within the solution.
Any thoughts?
It's all in your layout or code behind. Your layout can have that code (but in ASCX format) and it will work just fine. OR you can add literal controls to the page based on the fields and what the user has entered.
Doing it in your layout is more restrictive and specific to that one application but allows you to use multiple new webpart layouts. Using the code approach allows you to be more dynamic but doesn't allow you to use the built-in layouts of the webpart/widget.
I would just use the Transformable Web Part in the Marketplace...it does exactly what you want it to do. Create a custom web part, and you use a Transformation to style the Web Part Properties into the DOM elements.
https://devnet.kentico.com/marketplace/web-parts/transformable-web-part
Reason why i built it!
I've done something similar in the past, using what I call generic web parts. I wrote a blog on it last year - it might help out with what I think you're trying to achieve:
http://www.mattnield.co.uk/Posts/Show/generic_web_parts_for_rapid_development
Why are you choosing to go with Widgets? If you want to access any field inside the transformation within the web part it's feasible by the same way as you define in inbuilt web parts.
If you want to perform any function like onload etc. then you need to use kentico API to access any data.
If you provide more insight on what is required, I can help further
I'm trying to create a Custom Part that just drops text into the page. I've created a part using the GUI that I called "Side Feature" and I added a text field called "Featured". I am trying put it on the side bar which I created on my layout, but I don't know how to move it to the sidebar. It shows up on my main content.
How do I move it to the sidebar? I tried using "#Display(Model.Featured)", but that doesn't seem to work. I also read about the placement.info file, but I'm not too sure how that would work in this sense.
I couldn't find a tutorial/blog post online similar to this. Most of them were too advanced. I am very new to Orchard.
You can't without code or additional module: sidebar is a zone for widgets, not for content parts. Placement info only works for local zones within the global Content zone.
If you want to do it through code, follow this: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/03/26/dispatching-orchard-shapes-to-arbitrary-zones.aspx
If you want to use a module, look for Origami on the gallery.
I have an article set up in Joomla that displays Terms and Conditions for the site users. I would like this to show up in a shadowbox when a user clicks a link. Here is the current anchor text example:
Terms and Conditions
This works out great for displaying the entire web page, but what I would like to do is just display the article text on the page (plain with a white background). Is this in someway possible with shadowbox? If so, how?
If I'm understanding you correctly - you want to suppress the modules and other periphery from your 'page' when it is loaded in the shadowbox.
Add ?tmpl=component to the url of your link.
You can do this with a div element and css shadow effect.
How to show/hide div is explained here:
http://www.randomsnippets.com/2008/02/12/how-to-hide-and-show-your-div/
How you can add shadow is explained here:
http://placenamehere.com/article/384/css3boxshadowininternetexplorerblurshadow/
I believe there are some components to do this - but you may have to get creative to do it without pulling the whole page with an a href tag.
In the database there's a particular area that holds that specifically and you could write a little query to just pull that information specifically and put it in the shadowbox, but what that query would look like I'm not sure.
I followed some tutorial to change the way Sharepoint Search Box is shown on screen.
My first problem is, after modifying the SearchArea.xml file, is there a way to force the reload? The frequency of reload seems very random.
Bonus question: is it the best way to do it?
It's the easiest I've found, but having to change the file on the client's production server when the project is deployed doesn't seems very optimized.
For the first question, you need to reactivate the feature to have it instally reload, check this link in msdn
The second question, I just answered in another post, check it out
Its very straight forward. All you have to do is create your custom CSS file and have it override the default styles from the corev15.css file.
The class for the Search inpubt Box is .ms-srch-sb
And you can use your custom styles something like:
.ms-srch-sb>input {
/* your custom css style*/
}
Hope that helps.
Cheers
