Suppressing Widget.Wrapper without suppressing Widget.ControlWrapper - orchardcms

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.

How to display wrapped item in a wrapper

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)

openNtf debugToolbar UI is overridden by extLib's Bootstrap3 theme

This relates to an Xpages project using openNtf's Extension Library for Domino 9.0.1 V 16 (2016-01-28). There is a custom theme applied that extends extLib's Bootstrap3 theme.
Now I also applied Mark Leusink's debugToolbar Plugin (V 4.0.1, 2014-03-10).
Unfortunately all tables that are display inside the toolbar are partially "destroyed", as in this example:
Debugging the resulting html I see that the "label" cells of the debug table are assigned class="label" or class="label wide". Unfortunately bootstrap.css applies a display: inline style to a .label selector.
Currently I solved this by applying my own custom css file to reset toolbar styling; but I wonder whether there might be a more elegant way, maybe some kind of property that I simply missed out here. Or is this something that have to be done within the toolbar's source code?
Please add this as a defect on the project, so the contributor is aware and can resolve.
Alternatively, download the source code from https://github.com/OpenNTF/DebugToolbar, contribute the fix and make a pull request.
Hopefully Paul's and my entries at github and within the openntf.org project will help resolving this issue. Meanwhile my workaround seems to be the only option here;
As I mentioned above I created a custom styleSheet with just one line in it:
div.dBar table.grid td.label{display:table-cell;}
Then I created a cusom control as a container for the debug toolbar so that I could link my custom style sheet as a resource. The debug custom control finally is added to all the xpages where I want to have the toolbar.
Maybe this can help others, too.

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,

A bit confused with creating custom content parts and placement

I'm trying to create a Custom Part that just drops text into the page. I've created a part using the GUI that I called "Side Feature" and I added a text field called "Featured". I am trying put it on the side bar which I created on my layout, but I don't know how to move it to the sidebar. It shows up on my main content.
How do I move it to the sidebar? I tried using "#Display(Model.Featured)", but that doesn't seem to work. I also read about the placement.info file, but I'm not too sure how that would work in this sense.
I couldn't find a tutorial/blog post online similar to this. Most of them were too advanced. I am very new to Orchard.
You can't without code or additional module: sidebar is a zone for widgets, not for content parts. Placement info only works for local zones within the global Content zone.
If you want to do it through code, follow this: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/03/26/dispatching-orchard-shapes-to-arbitrary-zones.aspx
If you want to use a module, look for Origami on the gallery.
