I want to use "getResources" to show the articles from the "articles" extra on my homepage.
Here is the code of my homepage:
[[getResources? &parents=`52` &tpl=`sample.ArticlesLatestPostTpl` &showHidden=`1` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` ]]
and this is my sample.ArticlesLatestPostTpl:
<li>
[[*myimage]]
[[+pagetitle]]
[[+publishedon:notempty=`<br /> - [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]`]]
</li>
My template variable is [[*myimage]]
But I cannot see the template variable of the article. Instead I see the template variable of the homepage.
Can somebody help me?
I found the answer.
Instead of [[*myimage]] I need to write [[+myimage]].
And working! :)
It works like this:
[[*image]] will display the data inside field "image" of the current
document.
[[+image]] will display the data inside field "image" of all
resources you might query from the current document.
[[+tv.image]] may
work too, if you use "getResources" that uses "tv." as a Template
Variable prefix as default.
Best info if you are in doubt are those two pages:
General tag syntax:

and default tags that are used now and then:

I use Orchard 1.10.1. I have a CustomContentType that has a "Group" Taxonomy field . In Content-CustomContentType.Detail.cshtml alternate, I want to have a link to a certain taxonomy term. this is my code:
<a href='???'>#Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0].Name</a>
How can I get the url to replace this '???' in above code.
Thanks in advance.
You have a few options available to you. I've just typed them all straight into the browser and Orchard is a tricky beast to navigate its model so if they blow up in your face let me know and I'll dig a bit deeper :)
Let orchard make the entire link
Looking at the TaxonomyItemLink.cshtml file you can see that you can display the link like this:
#using Orchard.Taxonomies.Models
#{
TermPart part = Model.ContentPart;
}
#Html.ItemDisplayLink(part)
So in your case you could use:
#Html.ItemDisplayLink((ContentPart)Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0])
Just get the URL
You can use #Url.ItemDisplayUrl() to turn a routable content item into a url.
<a href="#Url.ItemDisplayUrl((ContentPart)Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0])">
#Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0].Name
</a>
Because it's an extension method you can't pass a dynamic so you will need to cast the type. This is why the (ContentPart) is there.
Just get the Slug
Actually, in this case the TermsPart class already has a .Slug property on it, so this might also work:
<a href="#Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0].Slug">
#Model.ContentItem.CustomContentType.Group.Terms[0].Name
</a>
I'm not sure if the slug just contains the end bit or its full url though.
I read this from a recent answer to a question:
After enabling the extension, just use {{ twitterfeed() }} in your templates.
But, what if I only want say a contact form on one page? Putting the tag in the page's text field doesn't work. And putting it in the template would have it available on all the pages using that template. Do I have to duplicate a template to use only for the contact page? If not where do I put the contact form tag?
I went to Bolt's extension page, selected "how to use extensions" from the menu, and got this message:
No proper name for a page in the docs. Bye!
Perhaps someone at Bolt could fix the URL?
I would like to know why none of the extensions I want to use are not working. I am clearly missing a vital piece of info.
Thank you.
After enabling the extension, just use {{ twitterfeed() }} in your templates.
The Twig function {{ twitterfeed() }} belongs (generally speaking) in a Twig template file. You can use Twig in record fields, but that requires setting allowtwig: true for that Contenttype field.
But, what if I only want say a contact form on one page?
There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest way is to make a copy of your sites template file for the page's Contenttype and select that template for the 'Contact' record. The default 'pages' Contenttype that comes with Bolt has a templateselect field type that enables this.
No proper name for a page in the docs. Bye!
Fixed! Thanks for pointing it out.
Hey Everyone I am having a huge problem :
I have this Line :
{exp:entries:ids_assigned_to_me tag="idont" channel="proiecte" field="clienti"}
Which outputs me some entry ids
and i can put it There at the entry_id:
{exp:channel:entries channel="proiecte" entry_id=" HERE " }
{content}
{/exp:channel:entries}
I tryied and search for hours over forums and stuff, but variable, snippets and embeding and stuff doesen't seemed to work out. Any Ideas ? about Inward Parse or something ?
Also tried php but didn't worked out :((
You're using the entries add-on and by the looks of it you're using the single tag method. It's not clear from the documentation, but I think as you're specifying a single tag, it's outputting the IDs, but if you use it as a tag pair (as other examples in the documentation show) and this piece of documentation hints at: "If no entries are assigned the logged in member, the no_results conditional is returned.".
So first try
{exp:entries:ids_assigned_to_me tag="idont" channel="proiecte" field="clienti"}
{content}
{/exp:entries:ids_assigned_to_me}
...all by itself without any {exp:channel:entries} tags. No idea what "tag" parameter is doing in there.
If that doesn't work and that method doesn't support a tag pair, then you'll need to do as an embed across 2 templates:
1st template:
{embed=template-group/second-template entry_ids="{exp:entries:ids_assigned_to_me tag="idont" channel="proiecte" field="clienti"}"}
2nd template:
{exp:channel:entries channel="proiecte" entry_id="{embed:entry_ids}"}
{content}
{/exp:channel:entries}
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 am building a website with ExpressionEngine as the CMS. There is a "Work" section that displays all the projects, and a detail view that shows each project individually. It is at this point, on the single-entry view that I would like to have "prev" and "next" pagination. In my tests I have made it work when the URL is "somedomain.com/index.php/work/detail/" but it does not work when the specific entry is part of the URL: "somedomain.com/index.php/work/detail/some_project/"
I've tried putting the pagination code outside of the {exp:weblog:entries} tag as well as within it, but to no avail. This is what my pagination code looks like:
{paginate}
<ul>
{if previous_page}
<li>< previous</li>
{/if}
{if next_page}
<li>next ></li>
{/if}
</ul>
{/paginate}
You are using pagination for lists of entries, what you need is the next / previous entry tags:
http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/modules/channel/entry_linking.html
Hmm. I'm not sure what the issue is here, as I've never used the {pagination} tag in that way. After checking out the docs, I see that the example code for prev/next links inside of the {pagination} tag is wrapped inside of an {exp:comment:entries} loop instead of the normal {exp:channel:entries} loop.
The docs aren't very clear about the scope of this particular feature of the {pagination} tag. You might want to double check that, in your {exp:channel:entries} loop, you haven't included pagination as a value in the disable parameter.
You could also check out the page in EE's user guide about Next/Prev Linking, which details the use of {exp:channel:next_entry} and {exp:channel:prev_entry} tags in place of the {pagination} tag that you've been using. I've used these tags without a hitch, so I definitely recommend trying them if you can't get your method to work.
Best of luck!
