I need to add a class to the li tag in an orchard pager list.
I can see that the shape is built in CoreShapes.cs, and classes are being added to the first and last items. I don't want to edit Orchard source code and add itemTag.AddCssClass("my-class").
I can add an alternate for List, but this overrides lists on the whole site. ShapeTracing doesn't show any other alternates.
I have been debugging with Pager.cshtml and associated alternates .Last, .Link etc., but I can't get to the li between the link and ul.
I have read this article, but this only coves the stuff inside the li.
I have read this article, but this assumes I have Model.ContentItems.
There are similar questions on SO, but they only cover content items which actually have alternates.
Ideally I want to do something like add List.Pager.cshtml and in there do;
<li class="my-class">
#Display(Model)
</li>
Adding a alternate for the list shape is the way to go i think.
1) Add an alternate for your specific list like MyList.cshtml
2) Borrow some code from Orchard.Core/Shapes/Views/Menu.cshtml and add the following lines to MyList.cshtml:
var items = (IList<dynamic>)Enumerable.Cast<dynamic>(Model.Items);
if (items.Any()) {
items[%YourItem%].Classes.Add("my-class");
}
...
#DisplayChildren(Model)

I have a resource in OrchardCMS that I'm displaying through a number of smaller shapes (so that I can adjust the layout order in placement.info).
In the Driver I am returning these parts through the use of returning a Combined(ContentShape(...), ContentShape(...), ContentShape(...)) etc
However I would like the HTML of each of the smaller shapes to appear within an HTML wrapper (such as a div or article or suchlike)
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks
I understand what you are trying to achieve but it isn't really a feasible scenario. A wrapper is applied to a shape and combined returns several shapes. As you say, each shape has an entry in the placement.info file, so you could easily have these shapes within different content zones or zones spread around your page, where a wrapper would just not work. Make sense?
The answer is probably that you need to create an override for the content view of the content type you are displaying and add the stuff you want to put in your wrapper in there. e.g. if your content type is called MyType and the displayed type was detail, your view would be called Content-MyType.Detail.cshtml.
Do you mean an Orchard wrapper (whole new cshtml file), or just a HTML element?
In the latter case you can do in your part view:
#{
var tag = Tag(Model, "article");
}
#tag.StartElement
stuff
#tag.EndElement
If you want to wrap a (common) wrapper around your elements, you can do the following in your placement.info:
<Place Parts_MyPart="Content:1;Wrapper=MyWrapper" />
<Place Parts_MyOtherPart="Content:2;Wrapper=MyWrapper" />
And create a MyWrapper.cshtml:
<article>
#Display(Model.Child)
</article>
I setup a custom content definition, query and projection inside Orchard (1.8) and just about everything with it works great, including overriding the display view on the projection page's URL. The only issue I'm running into is when I put that same projection in a widget, I can't seem to figure out how to override the view for it. The automatically generated HTML is this:
<p class="text-field"><span class="name">Name:</span> <span class="value">/** Title from content item **/</span></p>
<p>more</p>
<p>asdfasdfasdrerfwerqaq324f421 more</p>
<p class="date-time-field date-time-field-date">
<span class="name">Date:</span>
<span class="value">/** Date from content item **/ </span>
</p>
I've tried using the Shape tracer to create an alternate view, but even when I only have #Display(Model.Content) in the new view, it still puts all of that extra stuff in it which is more than I need to show on this view. The shape tracer says the active template is my new one with only that value in it, so I'm not sure where all the extra HTML is coming from here (though it does show on the HTML tab of the Shape tracer).
How can I override the view for this widget?
If the extra HTML is only appearing when you post the projection as a widget it is probably due to wrapper tags added through code or through the widget wrapper template. Try either of these methods:
Check Widget.Wrapper.cshtml to see if that view template contain the extra HTML. I don't remember if this shape shows up in the shape tracer, it might show up under the wrappers section.
You can also try the trick below - this can remove unwanted markup in some cases, I use it for the menu navigation widget. It removes any wrappers that were added through code. Make your widget template look like this:
#Display(Model.Content)
#{
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Clear();
}
Using version 2.5.3 of ExpressionEngine, I have a list of products displayed by category, but I need the premium products among this list being featured with a small star image. How do you call conditionally this little stars besides the {title}?
At the moment this code shows stars for all products and that is not ideal.
<ol class="voices-list">
{exp:channel:entries channel="product" orderby="title" sort="asc" category="2&6" dynamic="no"}
<li>{title}<img class="feature_icon medium" src="{root_url}img/audio/smallstar.png" alt="star"></li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</ol>
I need your help, please.
Best to set up a new checkbox field named "is_premium" with the value set to "y".
Next, edit each premium product entry and check the box and save.
Finally, in your template use this conditional.
{if is_premium == "y"}add star code{/if}
I like the approach shown in the answer posted by #MediaGirl and have used it many times.
An alternative approach is to handle it with a custom status rather than a custom field, if only to have the ability on the main edit screen to quickly and easily see and sort the list by "premium" (Zenbu could add the custom field to the edit screen, of course). The conditional would be similar, and of course the entries loop would need to have the status param of "open|premium".
Any way in Expression Engine to simulate Wordpress' shortcode functionality?
I want to abide by community rules, and there's a disclaimer when clicking in the "answer" section of an existing question that says I should actually ANSWER the question, not respond to other answers.
As such, I have the same question as the one above. I am a dev with roots in WordPress and I would like to mimic the behavior of WP shortcodes in Expression Engine. All I want to do is save a snippet of code as a template that can be re-used all across my site.
For example, if I want to use an accordion menu on several pages, I could just click click while editing a page and the code appears with placeholder content that the user/dev can then replace with real content). Do I need a graphic slideshow? Click click, define the images/headings/text overlays.
As I'm posting this, I'm about to scour the EE plug-ins library but since I haven't found anything before, I wanted to post here first.
I cover an approach that I've used before in http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/cms/more-stash-examples/ along with a couple of other examples of using Stash.
Short answer: there is not such a thing ... yet. The Shortcode add-on is currently in beta.
Long answer for now: use custom fields. Example: a Matrix field for your accordion, with your columns defined, and add as many row as you like. Then add tags for that in your template.
Same with a Gallery - create a Gallery field (Matrix works great for this again), then add the code to your template to build the gallery.
If these fields are made optional, then they only appear on the front-end when used.
If you want to get fancy and inject these chunks of content into your main content area, you can use NSM Transplant to do so.
Here's a simplified snippet of code I use on one site to acheive this:
{exp:nsm_transplant:body}
{inline_media}
{exp:nsm_transplant:content id="media_{row_count}"}
<figure class="{alignment}">
{exp:ifelse parse="inward"}
{if image}
{if "{alignment}" == "aligncenter"}
{exp:ce_img:make src="{image:resized}" width="860" quality="80" output='<img src="{made_url}" alt="" />'}
{if:else}
{exp:ce_img:make src="{image:resized}" width="430" quality="80" output='<img src="{made_url}" alt="" />'}
{/if}
{if:elseif video}
{if "{alignment}" == "aligncenter"}
{exp:antenna url="{video}" max_width="860"}
{if:else}
{exp:antenna url="{video}" max_width="430"}
{/if}
{if:elseif gallery}
{gallery}{embed="galleries/_embed" entry_id="{entry_id}"}{/gallery}
{/if}
{if caption}<figcaption>{caption}</figcaption>{/if}
{/exp:ifelse}
</figure>
{/exp:nsm_transplant:content}
{/inline_media}
{content}
{/exp:nsm_transplant:body}
In this case authors use {media_1}, {media_2} etc, to embed photos, videos, and galleries inside the content.
Another solution you can look at is Content Elements, which allows a more freeform method of populating an entry with a single custom field.
Hope that helps!
You can also use global variables within EE templates. You cannot use EE tags inside templates, but global variables do work. So anything that you can save as a global variable (possibly including variables made with the addon Low Variables, but I have not verified that) can be included into an EE template.
So if you need static HTML, or images, or whatever, you can absolutely mimic quite a bit of shortcode functionality by creating global vars and invoking them using the ordinary {global_var_name} syntax inside an entry field. Note that EE tags inside global variables will not get parsed, though, so you cannot use this to do an end run around parsing restrictions!
I want to use the Next/Previous Entry Linking technique in EE2:
{exp:channel:next_entry}
<p>Next entry: {title}</p>
{/exp:channel:next_entry}
{exp:channel:prev_entry}
<p>Previous entry: {title}</p>
{/exp:channel:prev_entry}
When this works, I'm on a single entry ie. awesome.com/index.php/my-cool-entry, I can click page through the entries in that channel.
Is it possible to ALSO display a full list of the entries on this page while I'm looking at one article? I want to be able to show the list of entries as a way to navigate to a particular article.
Think of it like the way {pagination_links} builds links:
First Page < 1 2 3 > Last Page except instead of numbers I want to display parts of that entry, rather than just a number.
What bothers me is that {paginate} generates ugly URLs ie. awesome.com/index.php/articles/P1, I'd rather have awesome.com/index.php/articles/my-cool-entry. exp:channel:next_entry/prev_entry preserves the URL_title!
Is there a plug-in that can handle this kind of thing?
Embedding a template is the way to go.
Create a new template with an {exp:channel:entries} loop. Within that you can dump out the entries you want and display any info you want from them.
One thing to make sure of is to use the dynamic="no" parameter within the {exp:channel:entries}. It'll go something like this:
In your article page, embed another template:
{embed="article/full_list"}
And within the article/full_list template use a loop like:
{exp:channel:entries dynamic="no" channel="[YOUR CHANNEL]" LIMIT="10"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}
