Custom Forms Styling - orchardcms

New to orchard. I'm trying to style a custom form without success. I've also been using the shape modeler.
I created a New ContentType and add Fields f1, f2, f3... I create a CustomForm. Now I want to wrap different divs around certain fields say
<div class="g1">
f1
f2
</div>
<div class="g2">
f4
f6
</div>
BTW I've tried this construct without success:
dynamic content = #Model.Content;
<div class="g1">
if(#content.ContentTypeName.f1 || #content.ContentTypeName.f2)
{ #Dispaly(...)
}
</div>
Can this be done in the content.edit.cshtml view?
If so please provide an example.
Thanks
Also, is there any way to reflect the properties of Model.Content during runtime?

What I did was create local zones in the Content_Edit alternate then rearrange the fields using placement.info
Placement.info:
<Match ContentType="MyForm">
<Place Fields_Input_Edit-FirstField="MyFirstZone:1"/>
<Place Fields_Input_Edit-SecondField="MySecondZone:1"/>
</Match>
Content.Edit-MyForm.cshtml:
<div class="edit-item">
<div class="edit-item-primary">
#if (Model.Content != null)
{
<div class="edit-item-content">
<div class="first-zone">
#Display(Model.MyFirstZone)
</div>
<div class="second-zone">
#Display(Model.MySecondZone)
</div>
</div>
}
</div>
....
</div>

Typically in Orchard, you override templates for parts and fields, not for the whole content item. Shape tracing can help you determine what template alternates you can use for each field and even generate the file with the default code for you to modify.
Also, Model.Content, if anything, will be a zone, not the content item. Depending on which template you're in, you may be able to use Model.ContentItem instead.

Finally came up with a solution, albeit quite ugly, but it works:
In my alternate associated with the Content_Edit:
#{
dynamic content = Model.Content;
}
<div class="g1">
#{
foreach (var item in content)
{
if (item.Model.GetType().Name == "BooleanField")
{
if (f.Name == "f1" || f.Name == "f2")
{
#Display(item);
}
}
}
}
</div>
<div class="g2">
#{
foreach (var item in content)
{
if (item.Model.GetType().Name == "BooleanField")
{
if (f.Name == "f4" || f.Name == "f6")
{
#Display(item);
}
}
}
}
</div>

If element hasClass, add another class to its title value

I'm using slick carousel, and once a div is active I want to open the corresponding description.
Problem I'm having is with this code:
if ($('div').hasClass('active')) {
var title = $(this).attr('title');
$('ul li').removeClass('open');
$(title).addClass('open');
}
What I'm trying to achieve:
Once a div gets class 'active', I want to take its title value, and use it as a id link to list element I want to display(add class to).
Here is a FIDDLE.
Use event handling, not class monitoring.
The slick carousel API has events for this, I believe you want to use the afterChange event to act on the active element after it has been made visible.
Check out the docs and examples, especially the section titled "Events" on Slick page: http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/
And I think you don't want to use title attribute for this because that is for tooltips. I recommend data-* attributes instead. And element IDs should generally start with a letter and not a number (was required in HTML4 and makes life easier when mapping IDs to JavaScript variables; though if you are using HTML5 I think this requirement is no longer in effect).
HTML
<div id="carousel">
<div data-content-id="content1">
Selector 1 </div>
<div data-content-id="content2">
Selector 2 </div>
<div data-content-id="content3">
Selector 3 </div>
</div>
<ul class="content">
<li id="content1">Content 1</li>
<li id="content2">Content 2</li>
<li id="content3">Content 3</li>
</ul>
JavaScript
$('#carousel').on('afterChange', function(event, slick, currentSlide) {
// get the associated content id
var contentId = $(slick.$slides.get(currentSlide)).data("content-id");
if(contentId && contentId.length)
{
var $content = $("#" + contentId);
$(".content>li").removeClass("open"); // hide other content
$content.addClass("open"); // show target content, or whatever...
}
});
I have found a solution:
$('.slider').on('afterChange', function(event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide){
var contentId= $(slick.$slides.get(currentSlide)).data('content');
if(contentId)
{
$(".content li").removeClass('open');
$('#' + contentId).addClass('open');
}
});

Nested ListView or Nested Repeater

I am trying to created a nested repeater or a nested list view using WinJS 4.0, but I am unable to figure out how to bind the data source of the inner listview/repeater.
Here is a sample of what I am trying to do (note that the control could be Repeater, which I would prefer):
HTML:
<div id="myList" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView">
<span data-win-bind="innerText: title"></span>
<div data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView">
<span data-win-bind="innerText: name"></span>
</div>
</div>
JS:
var myList = element.querySelector('#myList).winControl;
var myData = [
{
title: "line 1",
items: [
{name: "item 1.1"},
{name: "item 1.2"}
]
},
{
title: "line 2",
items: [
{name: "item 2.1"},
{name: "item 2.2"}
]
}
];
myList.data = new WinJS.Binding.List(myData);
When I try this, nothing renders for the inner list. I have attempted trying to use this answer Nested Repeaters Using Table Tags and this one WinJS: Nested ListViews but I still seem to have the same problem and was hoping it was a little less complicated (like KnockOut).
I know it is mentioned that WinJS doesn't support nested ListViews, but that seems to be a few years ago and I am hoping that is still not the issue.
Update
I was able to get the nested repeater to work correctly, thanks to Kraig's answer. Here is what my code looks like:
HTML:
<div id="myTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template">
<div
<span>Bucket:</span><span data-win-bind="innerText: name"></span>
<span>Amount:</span><input type="text" data-win-bind="value: amount" />
<button class="removeBucket">X</button>
<div id="bucketItems" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.Repeater"
data-win-options="{template: select('#myTemplate')}"
data-win-bind="winControl.data: lineItems">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="budgetBuckets" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.Repeater"
data-win-options="{data: Data.buckets,template: select('#myTemplate')}">
</div>
JS: (after the "use strict" statement)
WinJS.Namespace.define("Data", {
buckets: new WinJS.Binding.List([
{
name: "A",
amount: 5,
lineItems: new WinJS.Binding.List( [
{ name: 'test item1', amount: 50 },
{ name: 'test item2', amount: 25 }
]
)
}
])
})
*Note that this answers part of my question, however, I would really like to do this all after a repo call and set the repeater data source programmatically. I am going to keep working towards that and if I get it I will post that as the accepted answer.
The HTML Repeater control sample for Windows 8.1 has an example in scenario 6 with a nested Repeater, and in this case the Repeater is created through a Template control. That's a good place to start. (I discuss this sample in Chapter 7 of Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, 2nd Edition, starting on page 372, or 374 for the nested part.)
Should still work with WinJS 4, though I haven't tried it.
Ok, so I have to give much credit to Kraig because he got me on the correct path to getting this worked out and the referenced book Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, 2nd Edition is amazing.
The original issue was a combination of not using templates correctly (using curly braces in the data-win-bind attribute), not structuring my HTML correctly and not setting the child lists as WinJS.Binding.List data source. Below is the final working code structure to created a nested repeater when binding the data from code only:
HTML:
This is the template for the child lists. It looks similar, but I plan on add more things so I wanted it separate instead of recursive as referenced in the book. Note that the inner div after the template control declaration was important for me.
<div id="bucketItemTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template">
<div>
<span>Description:</span>
<span data-win-bind="innerText: description"></span>
<span>Amount:</span>
<input type="text" data-win-bind="value: amount" />
<button class="removeBucketItem">X</button>
</div>
</div>
This is the main repeater template for the lists. Note that the inner div after the template control declaration was important for me. Another key point was using the "winControl.data" property against the property name of the child lists.
<div id="bucketTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template">
<div>
<span>Bucket:</span>
<span data-win-bind="innerText: bucket"></span>
<span>Amount:</span>
<input type="text" data-win-bind="value: amount" />
<button class="removeBucket">X</button>
<div id="bucketItems" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.Repeater"
data-win-options="{template: select('#bucketItemTemplate')}"
data-win-bind="winControl.data: lineItems">
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the main control element for the nested repeater and it is pretty basic.
<div id="budgetBuckets" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.Repeater"
data-win-options="{template: select('#bucketTemplate')}">
</div>
JavaScript:
The JavaScript came down to a few simple steps:
Getting the winControl
var bucketsControl = element.querySelector('#budgetBuckets').winControl;
Looping through the elements and making the child lists into Binding Lists - the data here is made up but could have easily came from the repo:
var bucketsData = selectedBudget.buckets;
for (var i = 0; i < bucketsData.length; i++) {
bucketsData[i].lineItems =
new WinJS.Binding.List([{ description: i, amount: i * 10 }]);
}
Then finally converting the entire data into a Binding list and setting it to the "data" property of the winControl.
bucketsControl.data = new WinJS.Binding.List(bucketsData);
*Note that this is the entire JavaScript file, for clarity.
(function () {
"use strict";
var nav = WinJS.Navigation;
WinJS.UI.Pages.define("/pages/budget/budget.html", {
// This function is called whenever a user navigates to this page. It
// populates the page elements with the app's data.
ready: function (element, options) {
// TODO: Initialize the page here.
var bindableBuckets;
require(['repository'], function (repo) {
//we can setup our save button here
var appBar = document.getElementById('appBarBudget').winControl;
appBar.getCommandById('cmdSave').addEventListener('click', function () {
//do save work
}, false);
repo.getBudgets(nav.state.budgetSelectedIndex).done(function (selectedBudget) {
var budgetContainer = element.querySelector('#budgetContainer');
WinJS.Binding.processAll(budgetContainer, selectedBudget);
var bucketsControl = element.querySelector('#budgetBuckets').winControl;
var bucketsData = selectedBudget.buckets;
for (var i = 0; i < bucketsData.length; i++)
{
bucketsData[i].lineItems = new WinJS.Binding.List([{ description: i, amount: i * 10 }]);
}
bucketsControl.data = new WinJS.Binding.List(bucketsData);
});
});
WinJS.UI.processAll();
}
});
})();

Dijit.MenuItem and <a href=></a> link

My question is similar to that one:
Dijit Menu (bar) with link
I'm using Dijit Menu as in following listing:
<div data-dojo-type="dijit/Menu">
<div id="menuItem" data-dojo-type="dijit/MenuItem">
urlLink
</div>
</div>
But link is not working as it blocked by dojo.stopEvent in _onClick().
The question is:
How to remove dojo.stopEvent and make link inside <div id="menuItem" data-dojo-type="dijit/MenuItem"> work properly?
The issue:
I need to put inside <div id=menuItem"> some code, which has to receive onClick event.
P.S. Originally this is XPages code.
Well I fell in same problem, saw this post and the related other, but wasn't satisfied with the "onclick" solution :
it didn't work (for me) with keyboard navigation
it imposes to a add script element (onclick=...) in the declarative zone which is not what I expect for unobtrusive JavaScript
Finaly I digged further in dojo and decided to directly use the href attribute of first sub-node in the handler. My script section (derived from dijit menus tutorial) is then :
<script>
require([
"dojo/dom",
"dojo/parser",
"dojo/dom-attr",
"dojo/query",
"dijit/registry",
"dijit/WidgetSet", // for registry.byClass
"dijit/Menu",
"dijit/MenuItem",
"dijit/MenuBar",
"dijit/MenuBarItem",
"dijit/PopupMenuBarItem",
"dojo/domReady!"
], function(dom, parser, domattr, query, registry){
// a menu item selection handler
var onItemSelect = function(event){
dom.byId("lastSelected").innerHTML = this.get("label");
var achild = query("a", this.domNode)[0];
if (achild != null) {
var href = domattr.get(achild, "href");
if ((href != null) && (href != '') && (href != '#')) {
window.location.href = href;
}
}
};
parser.parse();
var setClickHandler = function(item){
item.on("click", onItemSelect);
};
registry.byClass("dijit.MenuItem").forEach(setClickHandler);
registry.byClass("dijit.MenuBarItem").forEach(setClickHandler);
});
</script>
That way I don't have to change anything in a menu of type
<ul><li>...</li></ul>
that works with JavaScript disabled, and links work fine with mouse and keyboard navigation when JavaScript is enabled. Simply don't forget the "class='claro'" in body element ....
What about this:
<div data-dojo-type="dijit/Menu">
<div id="menuItem" data-dojo-type="dijit/MenuItem"
onclick="window.location('http://url.com')">
urlLink
</div>
</div>

Orchard cms Extending Menu Item part

What's the best way to extent the Menu part in orchard ?
I want to use the normal menu part for most content types.
But I also want a Custom MainNavigationMenuPart. that has all the things the menu part has but adds a media picker field and a text field to it. - These items that will display on menu rollover.
Option 1
I think this is the best way to go ...
I've looked at writing a custom Menu part - but it seem like a lot of functionality for how the menu part currently work is there, I'm not sure how best to tap into this in a DRY way.
I can add a MenuPartItem to my customPart, so main menu part model would look like this
public class MainMenuPart : ContentPart<MainMenuRecord>
{
public MenuPart MenuPart { get; set; }
public string ShortDescription
{
get { return Record.ShortDescription; }
set { Record.ShortDescription = value; }
}
}
But ...
how do I render this on in the editor view for the part ?
I want to use the exiting MenuPartItemEditor.
how do I save this information in the record for the part?
Option 2
I've looked also at adding fields to the menu part (via cms).
My menu part now looks like this on the back end
Here I have customise the admin view for the menu depending on the content type.
Buy creating a Parts.Navigation.Menu.Edit.cshtml in Views/EditorTemplates, in my custom them I have access to the menu part, but I can seem to control the display of the fileds I have added to the part. (menu image, highlight, and short description)
Here is the custom Parts.Navigation.Menu.Edit.cshtml (original found in Orchard.Core/Navigation/Views/EditorTemplates/Parts.Navigation.Menu.Edit.cshtml)
#model Orchard.Core.Navigation.ViewModels.MenuPartViewModel
#using Orchard.ContentManagement
#using Orchard.Core.Navigation.Models;
#if (!Model.ContentItem.TypeDefinition.Settings.ContainsKey("Stereotype") || Model.ContentItem.TypeDefinition.Settings["Stereotype"] != "MenuItem")
{
if (Model.ContentItem.ContentType == "StandardIndexPage" ||
Model.ContentItem.ContentType == "AlternateIndexPage" ||
Model.ContentItem.ContentType == "MapIndexPage")
{
var sd = ((dynamic)Model.ContentItem).MenuPart.ShortDescription;
#sd
<fieldset>
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.OnMenu, true)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CurrentMenuId, Model.CurrentMenuId)
<div>
<label for="MenuText">#T("Menu text (will appear on main menu)")</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MenuText, new { #class = "text-box single-line" })
<span class="hint">#T("The text that should appear in the menu.")</span>
</div>
</fieldset>
}
else
{
<fieldset>
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.OnMenu)
<label for="#Html.FieldIdFor(m => m.OnMenu)" class="forcheckbox">#T("Show on menu")</label>
<div data-controllerid="#Html.FieldIdFor(m => m.OnMenu)" class="">
<select id="#Html.FieldIdFor(m => m.CurrentMenuId)" name="#Html.FieldNameFor(m => m.CurrentMenuId)">
#foreach (ContentItem menu in Model.Menus)
{
#Html.SelectOption(Model.CurrentMenuId, menu.Id, Html.ItemDisplayText(menu).ToString())
}
</select>
<span class="hint">#T("Select which menu you want the content item to be displayed on.")</span>
<label for="MenuText">#T("Menu text")</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MenuText, new { #class = "text-box single-line" })
<span class="hint">#T("The text that should appear in the menu.")</span>
</div>
</fieldset>
}
}
else
{
<fieldset>
<label for="MenuText">#T("Menu text")</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MenuText, new { #class = "textMedium", autofocus = "autofocus" })
<span class="hint">#T("The text that should appear in the menu.")</span>
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.OnMenu, true)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CurrentMenuId, Request["menuId"])
</fieldset>
}
I've also tried to control the display of fields using the placement.info in the theme
<Match ContentType="StandardIndexPage">
<Place Fields_Boolean_Edit-Highlight="-"/>
</Match>
with no success.

Orchard CMS: Logon Page doesn't work with my custom layout

I am very new to Orchard.
I have created a new theme, based on the Minty theme. The only real change is the layout, where I have adapted the html from an existing asp.net masterpage to match the orchard style razor layout.cshtml. I have experience with MVC and razor, so no problem on that side... unless I have missed something vital.
The problem is the login page. Clicking the sign in link takes me to the correct url without errors, but not login form gets rendered. I have checked that this is the case by Inspecting Element in google chrome.
I am aware that setting up widgets, etc, I can make content appear. However, I can't find how the login form gets inserted when the login url gets requested. I presume it uses the Orchard.Users module, but not sure how. Does it need a specific zone? I can't see why, but see how else.
As a result, I can't solve my problem...
Any pointers?
Any books or other learning media?
The code for my layout.cshtml is:
#functions {
// To support the layout classifaction below. Implementing as a razor function because we can, could otherwise be a Func<string[], string, string> in the code block following.
string CalcuClassify(string[] zoneNames, string classNamePrefix) {
var zoneCounter = 0;
var zoneNumsFilled = string.Join("", zoneNames.Select(zoneName => { ++zoneCounter; return Model[zoneName] != null ? zoneCounter.ToString() : "";}).ToArray());
return HasText(zoneNumsFilled) ? classNamePrefix + zoneNumsFilled : "";
}

PS: the branding and badge of honour are commented out as I am only enabling bit by bit to eliminate the source of errors. It will be in the live site.
ADDENDUM:
See Bertrand Le Roy's answer below. The Orchard.Users module requires a Content zone with a Capital C. That instantly cured the problem.
I added this as Bertrand's response was tentative, and I wanted to reinforce that the problem was the name of the zone.
In Orchard.Users, look for Controllers/AccountController.cs. In there, there is a LogOn action. It creates a LogOn shape that it then puts in a shape result. This then gets resolved as the Views/LogOn.cshtml template (which you can override in your theme by just dropping a file with the same name in there, for example a copy of the original that you can tweak). The LogOn template will be rendered within the theme's layout, in the Content zone. Does this answer your question?
I think the mistake you made was to name your Content zone content (notice the casing).
