I have two lists. One scrapes the link text from Google News and the other contains the link.
return render_template('news.html', link_text=link_t, link_addr=links_h)
How do I make clickable headlines in Jinja. I have done this.
{%for item in range(0, 30)%}
<div class="border">
<li><a href=" {{ link_addr[i] }}" >{{ link_text[i] }}</a></li>
</div>
{%endfor%}
I know this won't work for the href part(I don't know the correct format). It makes the headlines appear neatly. However I don't know how to link the headline to the matching href. They need to be in a <div> inside the <li> element.Please Help.
Tried different variations and this one worked. Strange,I thought I already tried this.
<li><a href=" {{ link_addr[i] }}" >{{ link_text[i] }}</a></li>
This gives clickable headlines perfectly.

I want to get the href attributes from the given HTML code so that i can go inside the link and scrape some data from it.
<div class="cb-col cb-col-67 cb-rank-plyr"> <a class="text-hvr-underline text-bold cb-font-16" href="/profiles/1643/aaron-finch" title="Aaron Finch's Profile">Aaron Finch</a> <div class="cb-font-12 text-gray">AUSTRALIA</div> </div>
<div class="cb-col cb-col-67 cb-rank-plyr"> <a class="text-hvr-underline text-bold cb-font-16" href="/profiles/10863/fakhar-zaman" title="Fakhar Zaman's Profile">Fakhar Zaman</a> <div class="cb-font-12 text-gray">PAKISTAN</div> </div>
I want to get the attributes of href and save it to a list.
You can use regular expressions to parse out thinks in the HTML such as that href tag.
Here is an article explaining that: https://medium.com/#tracy_blog/regex-and-selenium-2c5a89f23a17
To accomplish this, I would consider using get_attribute(name) over a regular expression.
Gretings, I have a problem with changing languages from Twig template.
My goal is to make it possible for user to switch page language according to his needs. I did everything according instruction:
Making the Locale "Sticky" during a User's Session
My question is, how to change language, which is stored in session, from Twig template?
My best guess was:
{{ app.session.set('_lang', 'en') }}
But result was, that language change needed page to be refreshed twice to show results, one to set values in session, second to load page according language stored in session. Please advise!
Solution was creating locale prefixes for all controllers and as malcolm offered, using route params:
{{ path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'), app.request.query.all|merge({'_locale': 'en'})) }}
This will allow you to get the route and the route's parameters without knowing them. Then it will override the _locale parameter with your value.
In Twig :
{{path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'),app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')|merge({'_locale': 'en'})) }}
With the HTML/Bootstrap code
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="language_switcher" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"><i class="fa fa-globe"></i></a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="language_switcher">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'),app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')|merge({'_locale': 'ru'})) }}"><span class="flag flag-ru"> </span> Russian</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ path(app.request.attributes.get('_route'),app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')|merge({'_locale': 'en'})) }}"><span class="flag flag-us"> </span> English</a>
</div>
</li>
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.
Have a fairly basic template that outputs the main article and then should output three others from the same channel, however when using the following code nothing is output in the "Other partners" area, not even "No posts" so I'm really not sure what's going wrong. There's 5+ articles in the system so there's definitely results to pull out, any ideas?
{exp:channel:entries channel="partner" limit="1" url_title="{segment_3}"}
<article>
<h1>{title}</h1>
{profile_logo:banner wrap="image"}
{profile_body}
</article>
{/exp:channel:entries}
<h2>Other Partners</h2>
{exp:channel:entries channel="partner" related_categories_mode="yes" custom_fields="yes"}
{if no_results}
No posts
{/if}
<article>
<a href="{url_title_path='community/partners'}">
{profile_logo:thumbnail wrap="image"}
<h3>{title}</h3>
<p>{profile_body}</p>
</a>
</article>
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Looks like you have a random {/if}, not sure if that's causing the issues with the results. You could always pass the current category to a embed and run it like so:
{exp:channel:entries channel="partner" limit="1" url_title="{segment_3}"}
<article>
<h1>{title}</h1>
{profile_logo:banner wrap="image"}
{profile_body}
</article>
{embed="template_group/_related_partners" category="{categories backspace="1"}{category_id}|{/categories}"}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Embed template:
{exp:channel:entries channel="partner" category="{embed:category}" dynamic="no" url_title="not {segment_3}"}
{if no_results}
No posts
{/if}
<article>
<a href="{url_title_path='community/partners'}">
{profile_logo:thumbnail wrap="image"}
<h3>{title}</h3>
<p>{profile_body}</p>
</a>
</article>
{/exp:channel:entries}
Probably all you need to do here is add dynamic="no" parameter to your second channel entries loop where you are using related_categories_mode. You need to do this because you are on a single entry page and EE will try to use the url_title present in segment_3 to load channel data for that entry specifically.
So you should try:
<h2>Other Partners</h2>
{exp:channel:entries channel="partner" related_categories_mode="yes" custom_fields="yes" dynamic="no"}
[...]
{/exp:channel:entries}
Official documentation for the dynamic= parameter is here.
Also be sure the entry you are loading in the browser is categorized in such a way that there are indeed other entries in that channel that are similarly categorized. Without some other entries that share the same category(ies) no entries will be loaded by the channel loop where you are using related_categories_mode.
Also, as #Seibird mentioned, it does look like you have an extra closing if tag after the closing article tag in your code example. That is likely to be interfering.
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}
