Please, someone tell me if there is a replacement for the rubbish Solpart menu, the menu with the small arrow to administer a module in DotNetNuke?
I have been using DNN for some time now and I would love to know if there is not a better way to get this menu working. I cannot believe DNN would let something as buggy as that out!
Thanks
You can use any menu for that drop down. You'd just swap out the solpartmenu for the one you want in the container you create. Here is a blog post outlining some of the menu options available. I'd suggest taking a look into each one of these and see which would be a good fit for you.
New Navigation Options in DotNetNuke 5.x Designers Should Know
Below is one (slightly updated) example from How to use RadMenu instead of the default solpartactions menu
Open an existing container for edit (a Default DNN container will work fine).
Register the RADMENUACTIONS tag by adding the following line of code: <%# Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="RADMENUACTIONS" Src="~/DesktopModules/RadMenu/RadMenuActions.ascx" %>
Replace <dnn:ACTIONS ... /> with <dnn:RADMENUACTIONS ... />
Set additional properties for RadMenu if desired. For example you can set the Skin property: <dnn:RADMENUACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnRADMENUACTIONS" Skin="CssGreen" />

I need to create a footer in a Liferay-project, that can be modified from the instance. I've been trying various things in my footer-code and instance, but haven't figured out how to do it.
Any content inside the footer can't be touched and in page edit mode, Liferay says "This area is defined by the theme. You can change the theme settings by clicking more in the Page Design Options panel on the sidebar". I didn't get any help from Page Design Options either. Is there a way to do this?
I found the answer after hours of work and searching and want to share it with everyone here. The working solution was found here, in one of the comments.
You need to write some code (I use Freemarker/ftl) and then configure the site pages a bit, but here's how it works:
Put a new setting inside liferay-look-and-feel.xml:
<settings>
<setting key="footer-article-id" value="" configurable="true" type="text"/>
</settings>
This will create a new configurable option in page options, allowing you to input the ID of the web content.
NOTE: <theme> might get underlined red "The content of element type "theme" must match". This still prints everything correctly, but the tags are given in a wrong order. Inside my <theme>, I have <template-extension>, <settings> and <portlet-decorator> in that order, which removes the error.
Assign a variable in init_custom.ftl (cleans up the footer-code):
<#assign footer_article_id = getterUtil.getString(themeDisplay.getThemeSetting("footer-article-id"))/>
And then add this to the footer-code, to create the spot, where the content is visible:
<#liferay_journal["journal-article"]
articleId=footer_article_id
groupId=page_group.groupId
/>
After this, everything should be ready code-wise.
Create a Web Content for your footer. In the creation screen, there's an ID on the panel on the right. Publish your content and grab the ID.
Finally, go to Site Builder --> Pages and click on configuration from the top bar (behind three dots). You should see the input field like in the first picture: That's where you add the ID.
Save the settings and your web content should now be in the footer.
Hope this helps!
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.
In Liferay 6.1, we created a hook to hide the sign out link in the dockbar. However, when I look at the code for 6.2, I see the following:
<c:if test="<%= themeDisplay.isShowSignOutIcon() %>">
<aui:nav-item cssClass="sign-out" href="<%= themeDisplay.getURLSignOut() %>" iconCssClass="icon-off" label="sign-out" />
</c:if>
No matter how much I google, I can't find any reference to themeDisplay.isShowSignOutIcon(), aside from the API reference, which does me no good, as it is not commented at all. I did find the page that discusses the native LR theme properties and apparently determining whether to show/hide a sign out linkn is not one of the native theme properties.
Does anyone know if you can set the theme itself to show/hide the sign out link and how you would go about doing it?
I too analyzed ServicePreAction code, and found that all this code does is:
checks if the user is logged in or not
if yes, shows 'sign out' link, not otherwise
You can simply create a hook to override html/portlet/dockbar/view_user_account.jspf to either remove that code snippet from this jsp to hide it for all scenarios OR modify the condition to show/hide as per your requirements.
The only place that I've found where ThemeDisplay.setShowSignOutIcon is called is in ServicePreAction (linking master branch here). That being said, it looks like it's not configurable, but you can easily create another ServicePreAction in a hook. Please see an example in this plugin (referencing portal.properties and liferay-hook.xml, but naturally there's also code that I'm sure you'll find. It's not big)
Another option - if you just want to unconditionally get rid of the link: Use CSS to hide it. Yes, it will still be there, but any way you choose to hide the link, the actopm at /c/portal/logout will still be available...
I created a simple visualforce page to override the standard salesforce.com page for "New" and "Edit" for a Custom Object.
It is pretty simple, it was just because in the standard salesforce.com page the textarea was not wide enough, since the form is splitted in two columns. (Or am I wrong? Is there a way to accomplish that without creating a custom visualforce page?)
Well, here is the code:
<apex:page standardController="Object__c">
<apex:sectionHeader title="Object Edit" subtitle="{!if(Object__c.id==null,'New Object',Object__c.Name)}"/>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="Object Edit" mode="edit">
<apex:pageblockbuttons >
<apex:commandbutton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
<apex:commandbutton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
</apex:pageblockbuttons>
<apex:pagemessages />
<apex:pageblockSection title="Basics" columns="2">
<apex:inputField value="{!Object__c.Field1__c}"/>
... more fields
</apex:pageblockSection>
<apex:pageblocksection title="Details" columns="1">
<apex:inputField value="{!Object__c.Field10__c}"/>
... more fields
</apex:pageblocksection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Ok, the page looks good on force.com, but when I open it from within the salesforce1-App on my iPad it has the same style like on force.com and not the nice styling like the other (standard salesforce.com page-)forms in the salesforce1-App?
To get the styling right, consider using the Mobile Design Templates: https://developer.salesforce.com/en/mobile/services/mobile-templates/templates-faq.
I think you would also benefit from reviewing this slide deck: http://www.slideshare.net/developerforce/visualforce-in-salesforce1-1-1. It specifically asks developers to avoid using pageBlocks in Salesforce1. The author of those slides is Sandeep Bhanot, who, in general, is a great person to connect to on Twitter/Youtube, etc, for all your Salesforce1 needs.
You can have textarea span 2 columns in std page layout by putting it to separate section and setting columns to 1. Just hover over the section header, click the wrench icon on the right and you should get a popup like this:
I'd say for such change it's bit of an overkill to go full VF page route. But if you really need it or my trick won't work - there are few questions on Salesforce-dedicated site that might be a good start for you:

I wish to add a new menu item/link (e.g. "Stack Overflow") at the end of the menu in the screenshot below.
The new link URL would end in the community_uuid e.g. http://example.stackoverflow.com/some-page#community_uuid
Is there any good documentation available to show how this is done?
Immediately I thought of three things:
1 - Custom CSS for a community, so you could somehow add/change or maybe create a landing spot for a dom manipulation event which adds it.
In order to change the CSS, You should look at:
http://infolib.lotus.com/resources/oneui/3.0/docPublic/components/menu.htm
It's the navbar role.
In a folder such as /local/con/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/conServerCell/Communities.ear/comm.web.war/nav/common/styles/orangeTheme/
2 -
You may also want to look at /local/con/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/conServerCell/LotusConnections-config/widgets-config.xml
specifically
you could add a StackOverflow widget, when loaded it automatically opens up a new window, and transfers the person back to the previous page. ... a little bit of a kluge...
3 - Look for /local/con/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/conServerCell/Communities.ear/comm.web.war/nav/templates/page.jsp
find the line
<div class="lotusMenu" id="lotusMenu" style="display:none;" role="navigation" aria-label="Main navigation"><div class="lotusBottomCorner"><div class="lotusInner">
<div id="lotusMenuTree"></div>
</div></div></div>
You could modify the very end to add some custom link for you.
Just some quick thoughts...
