How do I add a navigation item that is a link to another domain in fuelCMS 1.4?
When I am logged in as an admin and I create a navigation item. There doesn't appear to be any way to simply enter an absolute link as the location.
Am I missing something?

I found the answer to this:
Although the note on the location field states "Enter the path of url after the domain name.", if you enter the full url it will work too. Just make sure to enter the key field with the url that matches your menu items location in the menu.

Orchard CMS - limiting pages to only a specific layer - how?

Silly really - but I just can't seem to find my way around this just yet....
I installed the Orchard CMS in Azure - worked like a charm, added a few pages, played around, watched the Pluralsight "Orchard Fundamentals" course - seemed to make a lot of sense.
But now I'm stuck - I'm trying to create a public facing site, where some of the pages should be visible to any visitor including anonymous users, and some of course should be visible to only authenticated users.
OK, so I understand those are layers in play - default for everyone, authenticated for authenticated users - great. But how do I limit a given page which is present as Content in my dashboard so that it'll be displayed only on a given layer (e.g. only on the authenticated layer - not the default layer for everyone)
Seems like a simple task - but I just cannot seem to find the way to do it (nor does any of the docs or tutorial videos really help :-( )
Any takers?
Layers are only for widgets. In order to restrict access to a content item such as a page, what you need is content item permissions. That's a separate feature that is not enabled by default.
To enabled the Content Item Permissions module
In the admin panel go to Modules
Start typing permissions into the filter box at the top left hand corner of the tabs.
The Content Item Permissions should be shown in the list, click Enable in the top right hand corner of its box
This will reload the page and you should see a message at the top saying Content Item Permissions was enabled
Enabling this feature with your pages
Orchard CMS uses a concept where you can glue components together however you want them to be composed in order for them to support the features you want. The concept of a page is just a collection of parts like a page title, a url, text, setting a publish date and things like that.
By default simply enabling the module doesn't make any difference. You will need to add the feature to the Page content. To do this you just need to:
In the admin panel go to Content Definition
Find / filter the Page content type and click Edit on the right hand side
Scroll down to Parts and click Add Parts
Search for Content Permissions in the list, tick the checkbox and press Save at the bottom of the page
You will be taken back to the Page content definition screen. At the bottom of the Parts list you will now see a Content Permissions entry. If you want to set up defaults for new pages click the little > arrow to the left of the header and a panel will expand.
If you want to add it to other content types such as blog posts then you can repeat this process and add it to any content type you want to.
Making an individual page password protected
Now that the feature is enabled and attached to your Page content type you can create a new private page by following these steps:
In the admin panel click New > Page in the sidebar
Give the page some basic content
Scroll down close to the end of the page and tick the checkbox labelled Enable Content Item access control
Let's say you want to make it so anon uses cannot see the page. Under the View this item section just tick all of the roles except for Anonymous (the second one in the list)
Publish the page
Open up a new incognito / in-private browser tab (so the site thinks you aren't logged in) and visit the new page you just published.
You will be redirected to an error screen similar to this page:
You will want to enable the Content Item Permissions feature in order to restrict individual content items to certain permissions. With layers you can only make widgets appear in different zones defined in your theme when the layer's rules are met.
To enable the Content Item Permissions feature, go to your admin dashboard and click on "Modules" on the left hand side. On the modules page enter "Content Item Permissions" in the filter text box to help find the feature. Click on the enable button of the feature in the top right corner. The feature will now be enabled.
Now that you have the feature enabled, you need to add the Content Permissions part to one of your content definitions. To do this click on "Content Definition" on the left hand side of the admin dashboard. Find the content type you want to add permissions to (for instance, Page) and click the edit button. Click the Add Parts button. You will see a list of parts you can add to the content type. Check the checkbox next to Content Permissions and click save.
Next, in the admin dashboard go to one of your content items that is of the content type that you just added the content permissions part to. You will see a new checkbox towards the bottom to enable content item access control. Click the checkbox and you will be able to set the different roles for that content item.

How can I use base_path() inside a view in Drupal?

I have the following fields inside a view:
User ID
Teaser
I selected "exclude from display" for the User ID field.
In the Teaser field, I selected the "rewrite the output of this field" option. This way, I can use html to completely control the structure of the view's output. Moreover, I can call the User ID field by using it's token, [uid].
For example, I can do the following in the teaser's rewrite:
Visit Profile
The problem with the above code is that the path is relative. It will only work on the front page of the site.
For example, if this link is clicked in
www.example.com/node/1
then it will visit a non-existent URL of:
node/1/user/[uid]
I have tried the following: http://chopapp.com/#o7osql65
But views fields does not allow PHP codes.
I might be approaching this entirely wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
You'll want to rewrite the output of the UID field, and have it be rendered as a link. Even if you exclude it from display initially, it will still be available as a link via its token to other fields. One of the options when selecting to 'output this field as a link' is to make the link absolute.

How to show list of custom objects in a page in Drupal

I want to create a page in Drupal 6 where I can show list of restaurants.When a user clicks on any restaurant page, I should be redirected to Restaurant details page.
For this :
1.) I created a new content type called "Restaurant" with some fields.
2.) Created 3-4 content items for Restaurant( Restaurant1, Restaurant2, Restaurant3)
3.) Created view called: RestaurantList, Added Fields for it. Then added Page Display and gave the path for it http://website/Restaurants
Now, when I browse to Restaurants page, I only get labels of my fields but no values. How can I get the values but not the labels? Also, I want to go to the RestaurantDetails page. How can that be achieved?
Thanks,
Rashmi
Well if I were to set up a page view this is how I would set it up:
Filters:
Node type - Restaurants
Node published - Yes
Fields
Node title
check the option Link this field to it's node
leave the Label: field empty
check option Hide if empty
And if your view style is a HTML list, for extra you can go to Row style options and check the option: Hide empty fields
Make sure you click Preview to see if you get any values. If you don't then there's something wrong with the view settings, most probably the filters which are to restrictive. Start with something loose, like Node type - Restaurants.

<a4j:include> content doesn't get change

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().remove("wizardBean");

SharePoint: Site Layouts

Hi I was wondering which Layout I could use to get the search box in the top right hand corner. I used (Welcome Page) Blank Web Part Page) as the page layout but its missing the search box in the top right corner.
Also another question: How can I add my own layouts to the list in the Create Page, page. Thank you.
The search box is defined in your master page. Ususally default.master, it would not matter which layout you choose the elements defined in the master page will still be in the same place. In your case it would appear that the search box does not exist on your master and would need to be added in again.
You would need to amend the master page for your site and add the appropriate SP control for search into the appropriate place on your page. This will ensure that a SP search box is rendered in that location for every page.
To define your own page layout have a look at Link 1 and Link 2.
As for the search box, it is defined as part of the Site Template. Try creating a Site using the Collaboration Site template.
