How to hide content zone on a page if body is empty? - orchardcms

I have some pages which don't always have content in the body and would like to then treat the zone as empty and have it hidden.
Normally I'd use
#if (Model.Content != null)
{
<section id="layout-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
#Zone(Model.Content)
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
}
Problem is that Content zone is never null on the Page, there's title and metadata. Even if I hide those with placement, it's still not null so it just displays empty tags.
<section id="layout-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="zone zone-content">
<article class="page content-item">
<header> </header>
</article>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Can I somehow check for empty body in my layout or would you suggest better approach?

Don't hide the top-level content zone from layout. Instead, override Content.cshtml and hide local zones from there.

How to use sidebar and main content in express handlebars with a layout

I have a express handlebar application with main.hbs as the layout file.
//main.hbs
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
{{> header}}
{{{body}}}
<script src='/js/jquery-2.2.4.min.js'></script>
<script src='/js/bootstrap.min.js'></script>
</body>
</html>
When i click a link let's say "settings" in dashboard page then it redirects to settings page where i have sidebar and main content page.
This page also uses main.hbs as layout.
//settings.hbs
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar">
<ul class="nav nav-sidebar">
<li class="active">Account<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></li>
<li>Views</li>
<li>Users</li>
<li>Sites</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-10 col-md-offset-2 main">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="active">Settings</li>
</ol>
<div id="settingsContainer">
//Content should be rendered here just like the {{{body}}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
So how can i able to render the desired content inside the "settingsContainer".
As per my understanding in layout file {{{body}}} is used as a placeholder for where the main content should be rendered.
But this is a different page. Is there a way i can render the content based on the link clicked from sidebar.
Any help and pointer will be much appreciated!
i don't know much about handlebars but you can achieve the same with bootstrap tabs.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar">
<div class="tabbable">
<ul class="nav nav-sidebar">
<li class="active">Account<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></li>
<li class="">Views</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-10 col-md-offset-2 main">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="active">Settings</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<div id="settingsContainer">
<div class="tabbable">
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="account">
//render partial for account
</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="views">
//render partial for views
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps

This all depends on the Templating Engine you are using.
If you are using MVC, then you need to add your MNTP logic to a partial view.
See the following link:
https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Mvc/partial-views
If you are using WebForms, then you will need to add your logic to a Razor file OR alternatively a UserControl (.ascx) file. See the following links:
https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/templating/macros/

Making templates for passing model to in ASP.NET MVC

I'm using bootstrap and attempting to use the panel component for rendering lookup items. It renders perfectly fine, but this was all hand coded.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">
Item Number 1
</div>
<div class="panel-body">Image Carousel Goes Here</div>
<div class="panel-footer">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Field</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<!-- etc. -->
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">
Item Number 1
</div>
<div class="panel-body">Image Carousel Goes Here</div>
<div class="panel-footer">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Field</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<!-- etc. -->
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
A JSFiddle is here.
I'm wondering how it'd be possible to do something like:
<div class="row">
#(foreach Item item in items)
{
#RenderItemView(item);
}
</div>
where I could dump all of the "div.col-md-4 ... slash div" code into another cshtml file and use it as a component and just pass the model to it?
I know that I could do this, but would prefer to make this a reusable component.
<div class="row">
#foreach(Item item in items)
{
// instead of using a component, setting the panel-heading off item.Number,
// panel-body by a foreach on item.ImageUrls, etc.
}
</div>
Basically, the subcomponent will be a partial view, I think, but what is the normal way of passing a model to it and it rendering at that spot (basically, like #RenderBody works on layout)
You could create a partial view which holds this content:
#model IEnumerable<ItemType>
<div class="row">
#foreach(var item in Model)
{
// instead of using a component, setting the panel-heading off item.Number,
// panel-body by a foreach on item.ImageUrls, etc.
}
</div>
Save the partial view in the Views/Shared folder, so that it's available everywhere. Then to use it:
#{Html.RenderPartial("YourPartialView", Model.Items);}

expressionengine search {auto_path} wrong entry

I'm having trouble configuring the search results, linking to that specific result.
I've set the channel search preferences so that {auto_path} links to the relevant template group and template and I have had no trouble with this whatsoever.
The only trouble I am having is that when you click on the title of the result, when you are sent to the page that displays the specific entry, rather than display that specific entry, it shows you the most recent entry posted on that channel.
I’ve also noticed that when you click the result, the url which should display as this:
http://www.mywebsite.com/ee_site/index.php?/template_group/template/entry
actually renders as this:
http://www.mywebsite.com/ee_site/index.php?/template_group/template/?/entry
Whats up with the extra ‘?/’ inbetween the template and the entry?
Here is the code for the results page:
{embed="embeds/html-head" page_title="Blog"}
<body>
<div id="container">
{embed="embeds/header"}
{embed="embeds/navigation"}
<div id="hero">
<div id="heading">
<div id="title">
<h2>{exp:search:total_results} RESULT(S) FOR {exp:search:keywords}</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div id="blog">
<ul>
{exp:search:search_results}
<div class="blog">
<li class="search_results"><strong>{title}</strong> from <em>{channel}</em>
<br/>
{excerpt}
<br/>
</li>
</div>
{/exp:search:search_results}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
{embed="embeds/footer"}
</div>
</body>
</html>
and here is the code for a gallery entry
{embed="embeds/html-head"}
<body>
<div id="container">
{embed="embeds/header"}
{embed="embeds/navigation"}
<div id="hero">
<div id="heading">
{exp:channel:entries channel="gallery" limit="1" disable="pagination"}
<div id="title">
<h2>Gallery</h2>
</div>
<div id="story_title">
<h2>{title}</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div id="video_main">
<img class="image" src="{image}" alt="{title}">
</div>
<div id="featured" class="main">
<p>{info}</p>
<p class="url">{source}</p>
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
{embed="embeds/footer"}
</div>
</body>
</html>
On a category page, when you click an entry and are taken to this page, it displays the specific entry clicked on, so I know that there is nothing wrong with that aspect.
Any suggestions/solutions would be much appreciated, i'm sure it's something minor that i'm just not spotting!

Error in Expression Engine Embed

I have a site I'm working on at the moment, in which I have a sidebar displaying the 10 most recent posts (titles as links). I'm calling this in with the Embed function.
Though when I am looking on the individual post itself, the list only displays the post title that I'm on.
My embedded code calls all 10 of the recent posts in a exp:channels entry normal way.
Is there something I've done wrong? Below is the code for the main blog page:
{embed="embeds/html_header"}
<!-- content -->
{embed="embeds/html_blog_top"}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
{embed="embeds/html_blog_sidebar"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="1"}
<div class="span8">
<article>
<header class="postHeader">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span3 postDate">{entry_date format="%d"}<span>{entry_date format="%F"}</span></div>
<div class="span9 postPic">
<div class="imgWrapper">
{blog_image}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</header>
<div class="row">
<section class="span6 offset2">
<h2>{title}</h2>
<p>{full_entry}</p>
<p><span class='st_sharethis' displayText='ShareThis'></span>
<span class='st_facebook' displayText='Facebook'></span>
<span class='st_twitter' displayText='Tweet'></span>
</p>
</section>
</div>
</article>
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
</div>
</section>
<!-- footer -->
{embed="embeds/html_footer"}
This is the sidebar embed:
<aside class="span4" style="float:right;">
<section class="widget search clearfix">
<h3>news</h3>
<p>
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="10" orderby="date"}
{title}<br>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</p>
</section>
<section class="widget">
<h3>Archives</h3>
<ul>
<li>
{exp:channel:month_links channel="blog"}
{month} {year}<br>
{/exp:channel:month_links}
</li>
</ul>
</section>
</aside>
Its just the bit with the news section that I can't seem to get as a full list on the individual page.
Add dynamic="no" to your embed entries loop and you should be good.
