Has anyone solved or knows how to solve the following situation given the implementation of the header in Spartacus?
I would like to show in the header, a layout on the right of two level blocks, and on the left of a single level block.
Objective Header Layout
I can't think of how to do it since I can't see how to wrap certain slots, given the Spartacus implementation for the header.
Given the implementation of the header in Spartacus, inside the StorefrontComponent I cannot replace it using the ConfigModule.withConfig ({...}, as CmsConfig)
I understand and already tried that I can replace the header, implementing an Outlet (cxOutletRef = "header"), but this makes it impossible to edit it through SmartEdit, which is not acceptable to me.
Any suggestion? Or possible solution?
As a last option it occurs to me that I can create a component type from the back, and map it from Angular using "ConfigModule.withConfig ({...}, as CmsConfig)" implementing the "conflicting two-level" block from scratch or even the entire header.
Thank you !

Outlets do not prevent editing via SmartEdit. It's necessary to indicate the Slot to which the component corresponds, this is easy to implement using the PageSlotComponent.
✔ Example:
<ng-template cxOutletRef="cx-header">
<header
cxSkipLink="cx-header"
[cxFocus]="{ disableMouseFocus: true }"
[class.is-expanded]="isExpanded$ | async"
(keydown.escape)="collapseMenu()"
(click)="collapseMenuIfClickOutside($event)"
>
<cx-page-slot position="MiniCart"></cx-page-slot>
</header>
<cx-page-slot position="BottomHeaderSlot"> </cx-page-slot>
<cx-global-message></cx-global-message>
</ng-template>
In this way, SmartEdit does allow you to edit the MiniCart component, within its corresponding slot.
🚫 Wrong way:
<ng-template cxOutletRef="cx-header">
<header
cxSkipLink="cx-header"
[cxFocus]="{ disableMouseFocus: true }"
[class.is-expanded]="isExpanded$ | async"
(keydown.escape)="collapseMenu()"
(click)="collapseMenuIfClickOutside($event)"
>
<cx-mini-cart></cx-mini-cart>
</header>
<cx-page-slot position="BottomHeaderSlot"> </cx-page-slot>
<cx-global-message></cx-global-message>
</ng-template>
you can indeed solve this with a custom layout configuration and additional CSS, but it's not necessary. I give you a few options to consider:
Option 1: Change the generated DOM
You can either provide a custom layout config as #pwavg suggests, or even introducing a custom storefront component.
If you introduce a custom layout config, you're limited by the sections we use in the storefront component. If you insist on custom sections (ie. an element that wraps the searchbox, login, mincart and nav), you need to introduce a custom storefront component. The disadvantage here is that you'll deviating away from standard Spartacus component, which might result in missing features in the future.
Option 2: Pure CSS
A pure CSS solution is the easiest. You do not need to change any actual DOM, but apply some custom CSS rules to the standard DOM. Grid system is indeed designed for this. It's a bit complex to start with, but would do the job.
You can actually achieve this with flexbox as well, but you'd need to move the logo slot out of the flexbox flow.
Here's an actual quick and dirty code snippet to demonstrate changing by a few CSS rules only. It comes with a few assumptions/limitations, but for most cases it might be fine.
header {
cx-page-slot.SiteLogo {
// we absolute position the logo, so it flows outside the flexbox system. this requires
// an hard-coded top position, that might be fine, but I don't know the details.
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
}
cx-page-slot.SearchBox {
// align searchbox to the left, not sure if that's required, but looks better
margin: 14px auto 14px 150px;
}
cx-page-slot.NavigationBar {
margin-left: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
// manipulate a very high logo to demonstrate this works
cx-page-slot.SiteLogo img {
height: 100px;
}
}
Result (sorry for the logo ;) )
Option 3: cx-header Outlet
I would say you should be able to use outlets as well, as this will get you closer to option 1 (changing the actual DOM). I can't think of a reason why it would not work in SmartEdit - but happy to learn if it is the case. I'd recommend in this case to use the cx-header outletRef, so you would replace the entire header.
I am not super experienced with Spartacus so this might not be the correct way. Just trying to think with you on this.
I think you can just extend you layoutconfig and style the slots with CSSGrid. So for example you layout could be something like this:
layoutSlots: {
header: {
lg: {
slots: [
'SiteLinks',
'SiteLogin',
'HeaderLinks',
'SiteLogo',
'NavigationBar',
'SearchBox',
'MiniCart',
'NavigationBar2',
],
},
slots: ... (for mobile view)
},
},
And create a custom css grid for the positions of the slot.
If you want to have more markup control you could use cxOutletRef to replace the header with something like:
<ng-template cxOutletRef="cx-header">
<header>
<div class="header-top">
<cx-page-layout section="headerTop"></cx-page-layout>
</div>
<div class="header-bottom">
<cx-page-layout section="headerBottom"></cx-page-layout>
</div>
</header>
</ng-template>
And then divide the slots between headerTop and headerBottom in you config.
I'm writing wordpress theme using Tiber and have really interesting case regarding different images on mobile and desktop.
Case:
I would like to upload 2 images (mobile and desktop version) using Advanced Custom Field PRO in Wordpress and use them in custom Timber template engine theme.
Code:
.twig
<div class="application--main-image"></div>
.scss
.application-main-image {
background-position: center bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('../img/mobile.png');
#media (min-width: 600px) {
background-image: url('../img/desktop.png');
}
}
I found that I should use inline-style to put {{ post.image }} inside background-image but what about media queries?
Should I make some custom attributes or style inside .twig file with <style></style> but I want to use scss so it's not the case.
How would you solve that problem?
This is certainly a unique use case, here are my thoughts on how I would approach this:
<style>
.application--main-image {
background: url('https://source.unsplash.com/500x500/?ocean');
/* The actual URL would be replaced by your ACF Filed {{ post.mobile_image }} */
}
#media (min-width: 600px) {
.application--main-image {
background: url('https://source.unsplash.com/500x500/?mountain');
/* The actual URL would be replaced by your ACF Filed {{ post.desktop_image }} */
}
}
</style>
<div class="application--main-image"></div>
I think you are correct in that you will need to add the tags and the css necessary to your .twig template. I know you want to use .scss, however you only really need to change the background image property. I have create a JS fiddle to show you what I mean.

I hope that helps. If you have already come up with a solution that is different than mine, please share it here so not only I can learn but others in the future as well.
Cheers.
Is there a way to write inline css using Jade for Node?
My HTML is:
<div class="column" style="text-align:center;"></div>
but I can't see any reference to this in the guides.
You can write anything you want in HTML attributes:
.column(style="align:center;")
Is there any way to un-render a template with hogan.js. You can just hide it, but that leave's a lot of elements with id's and it can mess up further effects on your site.
I have looked around, but can't find an answer to this. Thanks
hogan.js is a templating language. What means that one can easly render different html markups just using some javascript object. It does not have the purpose of manipulating the DOM.
Lets say you got html like this:
<body>
...stuff...
<div id="div-1">...stuff...</div>
</body>
You could use of course jQuery:
$('#div-1').remove();
Or if it saves trouble you can use pure javascript:
var elem = document.getElementById('div-1');
elem.parentNode.removeChild(elem);
I have encountered an issue when using Orchard that I am sure there should be a fairly simple fix / solution for, but I have yet to find it.
I am trying to establish a specific width content area for my home page (580px), and a larger width for content pages (800px).
Layout.cshtml Snippet:
<div id='content'>
#Zone(Model.Content)
</div>
Style:
#Content
{
[...]
width: 580px;
}
Currently - the Content div wraps all of my content regardless of the page (either Home Page or Content). I am wondering if it is possible to use a different div to wrap the content based on the Page, as shown:
Layout.cshtml Idea:
#if(Model.Page != "Home")
{
<div id='fullcontent'>
#Zone(Model.Content)
</div>
}
else
{
<div id='content'>
#Zone(Model.Content)
</div>
}
I'm unsure if the above suggested method is possible (or I am unsure how to check for the current Page) - but any other suggestions would be appreciated.
You can use the Designer Tools module (built-in all recent Orchard versions) and enable the URL alternates feature. You'll then be able to create a layout-url-homepage.cshtml alternate for your layout.
You can use the Layout Selector Module to assign a custom layout to any content item.

You could use the Vandelay.Classy module to add custom tags to the page that represents your homepage, although it does add a lot of fields to the Page content editor.
