I want to have ready components for a page, when a page template is used. E.g. when I create a page using subpage-1 template, it'd give a place to drop a banner image (or leave a template image) and add breadcrumbs automatically (no need to customise).
They both have custom ADT, which I can't seem to find from the Page Template options. (It seems to have it's own "site" in the admin bar, when editing the template, so my guess is it doesn't find anything from my main site.)
Is there a way to get the custom ADTs for the page template? For clearance, the route to the template is Site Builder --> Page Templates --> New Collection --> New page template.
Possible workaround?
This is my subpage-1-column.ftl code, which has two dropping places: One for the banner image and breadcrumbs (which I would like to have automatically placed) and the other for the other stuff. Is it possible to add all the things here, that I want my page template to do (content place, type, adt...)?
<div id="main-content" class="container-fluid subpage-1-column">
<div class="portlet-layout row no-gutters">
<div class="portlet-column portlet-column-only col-12" id="column-1">
${processor.processColumn("column-1", "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-only")}
</div>
</div>
<div class="portlet-layout row no-gutters">
<div class="portlet-column portlet-column-only col-12" id="column-2">
${processor.processColumn("column-2", "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-only")}
</div>
</div>
</div>
Promoting a comment to answer:
ADTs can live in global scope, there they're independent of a "current site".
Downside: Global means global and comes with the general downside of anything global. In this case, I believe that it's not much of a problem, but you'll have to validate that for yourself.
My recommendation is to look at Content Pages / Master Pages though, as they're a lot easier to edit than Freemarker Templates.
In your comment you say that Master Pages "destroy" your footer, header etc, which they're not supposed to do and I wonder about the root cause there. But anyway: You seem to have your ADT already, and global scope seems to fix your issue. I'll leave it at that. Going after the Master Page issue's root cause would be a different question (but might no longer be programming related)
If you're looking for a code template for the possible "workaround":
<div id="main-content" class="container-fluid subpage-1-column">
<div class="portlet-layout row no-gutters">
<div class="portlet-column portlet-column-only col-12" id="column-1">
${processor.processColumn("column-1", "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-only")}
<#assign portletPreferences = { "displayStyle" : "ddmTemplate_ADT_CUSTOM", "portletSetupPortletDecoratorId": "borderless", "headerType" : "none", "delta" : "10", "paginationType" : "none" } />
${processor.processPortlet("com_liferay_asset_publisher_web_portlet_AssetPublisherPortlet", portletPreferences)}
</div>
</div>
<div class="portlet-layout row no-gutters">
<div class="portlet-column portlet-column-only col-12" id="column-2">
${processor.processColumn("column-2", "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-only")}
</div>
</div>
</div>
This will add an AssetPublisher to your first column with a specific ADT (ddmTemplateKey = ADT_CUSTOM)
To see all available portletPreferences check your database or copy the following code in one of your ADTs:
<#list portletPreferences?keys as prop >
<li>
${prop}
</li>
</#list>

I would like to change the call to action button on the landing page of my website to a social icons element. How do I edit the HTML code to do this? I am using the "Paris - Business" theme. Thanks.
There is some documentation on how to do this, if you search the web. For example, my own site has a basic example of what to look for Landing Page Button Removal.
In that case, you could replace the code that makes the button with your own code.
That being said, there's some new features you can use that would make the content editable. Weebly just introduced "Sections". Sections allows you to have different sections on a page, and with that you can also drag and drop into the Header area. (See Screenshot)
*BUT, before you go ahead and do this, I should note that Weebly plans on making these changes to the newer themes, in the near future. When Paris would be done, or if it will be done, is anybody's guess.
Depending on the design of your Theme, this might be slightly different, so please keep that in mind.
Basically, for the Paris Theme, what was:
<div class="banner-wrap wsite-background">
<div class="container">
<div class="banner">
<h2>{headline:text global="false"}</h2>
<p>{headline-paragraph:text global="false"}</p>
<div class="button-wrap">{action:button global="false"}</div>
<span id="contentArrow"><span></span></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Would become:
<div class="banner-wrap wsite-background">
<div class="container">
{{#header}}
<div class="banner">
{content}
<span id="contentArrow"><span></span></span>
</div>
{{/header}}
</div>
</div>
*If you are customizing a Theme, I might also recommend making a custom page type, specifically with these changes.
If you want to use Sections, for the content area of the page it would look something like:
<div class="main-wrap">
{{#sections}}
<div class="container">{content}</div>
{{/sections}}
</div>
**Note: There isn't any documentation yet, and I have not tested this, so wsite-background may not be needed... but don't take my word for it.
Let’s say that I have a carousel on my index page.
Inside the template for index, it loads a particular channel, “Foo”
<div "slider">
<ul class="slides">
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="foo" dynamic="no"}
<li class="foo_{entry_id}">
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12">
{foo_html}
<style type="text/css">{foo_css}</style>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
{/exp:low_reorder:entries}
</ul>
</div>
That channel, naturally, has a list of content items
I want the list of content items displayed to exclude one of the items in the channel if the referrer is not bing.
Can anyone show me the way that they would go about accomplishing that? I'm not getting any traction on the ellislab forum.
I whipped up a plugin for you, which you can find here
You can wrap the item in a conditional using that plugin to check if it should be output.
I'm using Koken and would like to customize the template for text entries by putting the date at the top of the entry.
I hacked a call to new Date() into the core template file /admin/templates/text.tmpl.html
<div id="entry-editor">
<div id="edit-area" data-bind="html: content() ||
'<p class=\'date\'>' + new Date() + '</p>
<p class=\'media-row\'><br /></p>'">
</div>
</div> <!-- close #entry-editor -->
This works fine, but I know the perils of hacking core files.
As of this writing, I don't see an answer on the page linked as "define your own custom template types" on help.koken.me.
Without hacking core files, how can I have Koken add a date to the top of each text entry?
From http://help.koken.me/customer/portal/questions/1080677-how-to-make-custom-templates-in-koken-
Simply place a <koken:time> tag in the customized theme template.
For example, in my /storage/themes/<custom-theme-name>/essay.lens file:
<header>
<h2>
<koken:link>{{ essay.title }}</koken:link>
</h2>
<p>
<strong><koken:time show="time" /> <koken:time show="date" /></strong>
</p>
</header>
I have a site that was built and handed over to me, so I'm not as familiar with ModX as I'd like to be. That said, I've built my own templates, tpls and the like.
However, and existing MIGX using template is giving me fits. It used to display all the items in the list properly - one image, and three text fields. Now, it randomly will stop displaying one item.
When I say random, I don't mean that it switches around when you refresh the page - I mean right now item #4 isn't being displayed (even in source code, nothing appears). But if I were to delete any other item, that #4 might just show up again, and a different item start disappearing.
I'm at a loss here. I see no special characters in the text fields. Even if there were, that wouldn't explain how an item will work then not work then work again based on making changes to other items.
Please let me know what other information I can provide to assist in troubleshooting this.
Below is all the relevant code I can think of.
Template:
<div id="content">
[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`management`
&docid=`[[*id]]`
&tpl=`management_tpl`
&limit=`0`
]]
<div class="clear"></div>
</div><!-- #content -->
management_tpl:
<div class="management_box">
<div class="management_img">
<img src="[[+image:phpthumbof=`w=100&z=1`]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />
</div>
<div class="management_content">
<h2>[[+name]]</h2>
<h3>[[+position]]</h3>
[[+descr]]
Show more
</div>
<div id="[[+name:stripString=` `]]" class="fulldescr">
<img src="[[+image:phpthumbof=`w=100&z=1`]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />
<h2>[[+name]]</h2>
<h3>[[+position]]</h3>
[[+fulldescr]]
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
Thanks,
Chris
For anyone who finds this in the future - my MIGX plugin was outdated and had some flaws that caused this. Updating the plugin fixed everything.
I have a snippet called sidebar with the following code.
<div id="ebook_offer">
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="about_blog">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="testimonials">
</div>
<div id="demo" dynamic="no" limit="1">
</div>
<div id="recent posts">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit=5 offset=1}
<h3>Recent Posts</h3>
<li>{title}</li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div "connect">
</div>
<div = "subscribe">
{exp:mailinglist:form list="blog_list" form_id="blog_subscribe"}
<h3>Subscribe</h3>
<p>First Name <input type="text" name="first_name"="{first_name}"></p>
<p>Email <input type="text" name="email" value="{email}"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="submit"></p>
{/exp:mailinglist:form}
</div>
This snippet is called inside the index.php template for blog template group and the code is as follows:
<div id="blog_display">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="5"}
<h2>{title}</h2>
{author}
{if blog_images} <img src="{blog_images}" alt="blog image {title}" class="some_class" />
{/if}
{teaser}
<p>comments {comment_total} </p>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
{sidebar}
I also have channel called sidebar with fields such as ebook_offer, about_blog, recast posts, testimonials, subscribe. I can get the subscribe forms to show up. I can see recent posts on my webpage but can't see any of the content that has been filled in about_blog field.
Anyone know why blog channel works but not my sidebar channel.
I'm not quite sure what the problem is exactly without having all of your code in front of me, but it could be a few things. For starters, if your blog homepage template has an {exp:channel:entries} tag in it, and you're including the snippet inside of that tag, you'd run into problems. You can't nest an {exp:channel:entries} inside of another.
Also, channel entry tags are set to dynamic by default. They will look at the URL for hints about what entries to pull from the database. Try adding the dynamic="no" parameter to your sidebar entries tag, which you can learn more about here. This should make the tag ignore the page's URL, which is what you want. You might also want to add the limit="1" parameter to that tag as well, to ensure that only one sidebar entry is being rendered.
Please let me know if neither of those answers help!
The best strategy would be to move what's in your snippet into a separate template file while you try to figure this out. I noticed a couple of things that seem off to me in your sidebar snippet code.
<div id="ebook_offer">
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="about_blog">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
This doesn't really seem the right way to use the {exp:channel:entries} tag. You mentioned "ebook_offer" was a channel field. But here you're using it as a static id for an HTML div. If "ebook_offer" is a field I would expect something like this:
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
{ebook_offer}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Same with "about_blog"
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
{about_blog}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Also I noticed you said the channel was named "sidebar" but in your {exp:channel:entries} tag you're using "blog_sidebar". Which isn't the same thing, is your channel's shortcode "sidebar" or "blog_sidebar"?
Finally this is a little off to me
<div id="demo" dynamic="no" limit="1">
</div>
"dynamic" and "limit" only work on ExpressionEngine {exp:channel:entries} tags, not regular HTML elements (like DIVs). I would try using Bitmanic and Peter's suggestion again, but apply it to {exp:channel:entries} like so:
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar" dynamic="off"}
...
{/exp:channel:entries}
