How to display wrapped item in a wrapper - orchardcms

I wanted to add a wrapper around my comments module.
I've set up the wrapper file (\Views\Wrapper.Parts.Disqus.cshtml);
I've added it in placement.info:
<Place Parts_Disqus="Content:20;Wrapper=Wrapper_Parts_Disqus" />
It finds it and wraps it but I cannot figure out what to put inside the middle of the wrapper to show its wrapped content.
I'm working with Orchard.Cw.Disqus.
I've looked around the Orchard source, sometimes its #Display(Model.Child) sometimes other things. I've tried many combinations.
What is the formula to understand what you should put inside a wrapper to make its show its wrapped content?

Seems like in my case it is
#Display(Model.Metadata.ChildContent)
Thanks:

TYPO3 imageManipulation focusArea in Frontend

Does anyone know how to use the TYPO3 focus area in the frontend?
TCA imageManipulation
If I use the crop attribute in the fluid-template
<f:image width="555c" height="312c" src="{article.teaserFile.uid}" treatIdAsReference="1" crop="{article.teaserFile.originalResource.referenceProperties.crop}" />
i get a serialized string in data-focus-area.
<img data-focus-area="{"x":786.1145320197,"y":96.682142857143,"width":271.44177339901,"height":270.05062857143}" src="/fileadmin/_processed_/9/b/csm_testimage_0bfc7bc724.jpg" width="657" height="566" alt="" title="Testimage">
Does the data need to be used by a JS library? Can someone recommend a library here? Because i didn't find a recommendation for a library which can handle focus Area and the attribute data-focus-area.
Or do i have to write a viewhelper giving the attributes e.g. for "jQuery focuspoint" to data-focus-x, data-focus-y, data-image-w, and data-image-h.
No, you don't need to rewrite the ViewHelpers. (It would be nice, if in the future it could be a bit better extendable then now however.)
But you can implement the jQuery Focuspoint. The only thing you need to do, BEFORE you starts the focuspoint plugin, you can transform this array into the needed values with jquery.
An exmaple from the FocusPoint documentation
$('.focuspoint').focusPoint();
So before this line, you can just simply add the values from the array as an own data attribute.
The form is different, but the logic is the same. So you have the x, y, width and height values in the focus-area array.
This would not work with responsify.js for example. It needs bottom, top, left, right values.
So yes... it won't work out of the box.
But NO, you don't need to change the PHP part, because you can solve it on the front end. (You need jQuery plugin anyway, so making some code before using it is easier.)
Changing those ViewHelpers is also a possibility of course, but you really need to rewrite their functionality (also the renderImage function to be concrete) and if you want to update it to a later version it could lead to problems.

Orchard CMS ContentShapes - can I add a wrapper?

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>

Suppressing Widget.Wrapper without suppressing Widget.ControlWrapper

I have an alternate view for a widget. In that view I'm suppressing the wrapper using code like this:
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Clear();
This works, but I'd like to only suppress the Widget.Wrapper. Right now it is also suppressing the Widget.ControlWrapper which prevents the edit buttons from displaying when I have the Widget Control Wrapper module enabled.
Is there any way to clear only the Widget.Wrapper while keeping the Widget.ControlWrapper?
In case anyone comes across this for a similar problem, I was able to suppress the Widget.Wrapper thusly in a Widget-Sidebar.cshtml file in my theme:
#using Orchard.DisplayManagement.Descriptors;
#using Orchard.Environment.Extensions;
#{
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Remove("Widget_Wrapper");
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Add("Widget_SideBarWrapper");
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Add("Widget_ControlWrapper");
}
#Display(Model.Content)
I started out by using the Shape Tracing tool to create an alternate for widgets I had in a "sidebar" column (basically a <div id="sidebar"> I have in my layout as #Zone(Model.Sidebar)).
I placed the code above in the Widget-Sidebar.cshtml alternate that I created using Shape Tracing.
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Clear(); as used by the OP completely removes everything, to the point where in Shape Tracing it won't even show up as a widget. Adding my own alternate (Widget.SideBarWrapper.cshtml, which is added as "Widget_SideBarWrapper" above) would not fix this. I felt that was wrong even though the content displayed.
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Remove("Widget_Wrapper");
seemed the right way to go (i.e., Shape Tracing still showed a Widget), but it appears to REMOVE all the other wrappers, so you then have to add your new wrapper along with Widget.ControlWrapper.cshtml (written as "Widget_ControlWrapper" in code above).
HTH.
I was able to add back the Widget.ControlWrapper like this:
Model.Metadata.Wrappers.Add("Widget_ControlWrapper");
This seems to be working just like I wanted.

Stash : Conditional Content

First off, a caveat ... I am brand new to Stash. I've heard a lot about it but this is my first time actually playing with it. I get the concept, but am having a hard time figuring this one thing out.
I have a main "wrapper" file and everything within that wrapper stays the same. I would like the option however, to be able to toggle the sidebar on and off if I need to.
I wouldn't think I would need a totally separate layout wrapper would I?
Is there a way to use a boolean variable within stash? (e.g. 2col=TRUE) or am I thinking about it wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Generally what I'd do here is setup multiple Stash gets within the wrapper. Then in your individual templates you can set both the sidebar and the main content area. For parts where you might be repeating content, like the opening and closing divs of a sidebar, you can always drop some snippets inside the stash.
You can also use exp:stash:not_empty [docs] to wrap around the div or container for your sidebar within the wrapper.
I usually use one wrapper for every template. It'll contain an {exp:stash:get name="content"} tag, like yours, which contains the only variable content within.
In my individual templates, I embed the wrapper at the beginning using a regular EE embed ie. {embed="includes/wrapper"}.
Then I stash the content to be inserted into the wrapper using the {exp:stash:set name="content"} tag.
This seems like what you're doing anyway.
If I want to conditionally show a sidebar, I might just pass a variable into the embed.
eg. {embed="includes/wrapper" show_sidebar="yes"}
In my wrapper I would do this:
{if embed:show_sidebar}
Sidebar stuff.
{/if}

Inserting a news-feed widget to a page

I have a page I'd like to embed a news-feed widget into (so that the feed from some remote site will be displayed in my site).
While there are quite a few free news-feed widgets available out there (a partial list is here: http://allwebco-templates.com/support/S_script_newsfeed.htm), They all require insertion of complex code into the html page, while all the parameters are hard-coded into the generated code, which looks something like this:
insertedWidgetText = "<script id=\"scrnewsblock10795953\" type=\"text/javascript\">...script specific parameters go here...</script>"
let feedWidget = toWidgetBody [hamlet|#{preEscapedText insertedWidgetText}|]
This doesn't integrate well with Yesod's approach as it requires specifying to Hamlet that the content is preEscapedText, which in turn disables the ability to use Hamlet's processing to alter parameters of the widget dynamically (So in case I want the widget to use a different source, for example, I need to statically change the quoted text and cannot use Hamlet's variable substitution).
Of course I could do some text manipulation myself, tailor built for the widget I'm using, but that doesn't seem like the "right" solution (especially if I want to have the embedded text in some external file and not in the middle of my code as in the example above).
Can the above mentioned issue have a better solution than the one I thought about?
Is there an implementation of a news-feed widget in Haskell/Yesod that I can use as a plugin?
Note: I'm a very poor javascript programmer, but solutions in that direction are also welcomed.
Thanks,
