Can someone tell me how can I have the breadcrumb nav within the header.tpl and not in the product.tpl of opencart?
I've just had to figure this out for a new site we're building and I've come up with the following; use at your own risk (I'll report back if I run into any major problems, but I can't foresee any... famous last words)
Basically the breadcrumbs are built in the controllers and we need the resulting $breadcrumbs array in the header controller. Modify system/engine/controller.php as follows:
[...snip...]
protected function render() {
foreach ($this->children as $child) {
$this->data[basename($child)] = $this->getChild($child,array('parent_data'=>&$this->data));
}
[...snip...]
This will send all the data in the parent controller, before render() was called, to every controller/method of the $children. Then we just need to pick this up in the header controller as follows:
<?php
class ControllerCommonHeader extends Controller {
protected function index($args=array()) {
// parent data
$this->data['parent_data'] = $args['parent_data'];
[...snip...]
And we can access everything in the template with $parent_data['whatever']. In this case, $parent_data['breadcrumbs'] will be the array of breadcrumbs that I can loop over with the code I've removed from each page.tpl and added to my header.tpl.
Due to the way 1.5.X is coded, you'll need to rewrite every controller and add a method back to the document class to allow passing from the product controller to the header controller. Is there any particular reason you want to do so?
if all else fails just hack the css, something like
.breadcrumb {
margin-left: -270px;
margin-top: -65px;
}
will move the breadcrumb up and to the left.

Is there config setting that I can use as links within sitefinity MVC view? So I have a href's in my view that i dont want to hardcode them in the view cshtml file.
<a href="ConfigSetting">
I think you want to make a custom Config Section
https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/for-developers-create-a-new-configuration
Then I always do something like this in a static helper class so I can use it in Views and around the site
public static MyConfig MyConfig {
get
{
return Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration.Config.Get<MyConfig>();
}
}
So then it's
<a href="#Util.MyConfig.ConfigSetting">

In the shop's customer section I would like to render the user account menu (which we can see by default when reaching /my-account URL) as a side column on some others controllers like the ones associated to "/my-adresses", "/identity" pages ..
I thought I would have to create another controller which purpose would be to gather menu infos and only render the menu <ul> list. Then I could override Controllers such as MyAccountController, IdentityController to include this former Ctrl and then render its content as part of the views of those two other controllers views.
So how one can load a specific controller from another in order to render shared views between pages ? Which is the right/clean way to do that ?
I heard about $this->getController() but I did not find any snippet or implementation of what I'd like to achieve. I new to Prestashop but even if the code seems clear, I don't get the point here.
Thank you !
After getting a bit deeper into sources, I ended up moving the menu (initially part of the MyAccountControllerCore alias my-account template) into a brand new Controller "MyAccountMenuController", in /override/controllers/front/.
<?php
// In /override/controllers/front/MyAccountMenuController.php
// The "exposer" controller
public function display()
{
// Do what ever you want to pass specific variables
if (! $this->template) {
throw new Exception(get_class($this) . '::display() : missing template.');
}
$this->context->smarty->display($this->template);
return true;
}
I am now able to import this menu by adding the following snippet inside the initContent() method of each controller that are part of the customer account section (this means that each of them must be overridden, for more info about overriding controllers, see documentation):
<?php
// In /override/controllers/front/MyAccountController.php
// The "consumer" controller
public function initContent() {
// ...
// Importing the customer area's menu
$menuController = $this->getController('MyAccountMenuController');
ob_start();
$menuController->run();
$this->context->smarty->assign('myAccountMenu', ob_get_clean());
}
I don't think the original purpose of getController method (located in ControllerCore class) was meant to include another controller output, at least in Prestashop 1.5. Still, to me this approach is far cleaner than duplicate views code.
If you have a better (cleaner) approach to implement such a mechanism, please let me know !
Any thoughts ?
How do I post from one controller into another view?
I have a Review model and a Product model. The Review form is displayed in the Product view through a widget, but how do I submit the form itself? Right now, it doesn't do anything. I can submit through review/create, but not through the Product View.
Or am i suppose to do the post in the widget?
You can achieve it if you put code like below on components/ReviewWidget.php . I supposed you have Review as model and its respective controller and views file on default locations.
<?php
class ReviewWidget extends CWidget{
public function init() {
return parent::init();
}
public function run(){
$model = new Review;
if (isset($_POST['Review'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['Review'];
$model->save();
}
$this->renderFile(Yii::getPathOfAlias('application.views.review'). '/_form.php',array(
'model' => $model,
));
}
}
Then, call above widget on any where on view like below ,
<?php $this->widget('ReviewWidget'); ?>
It will handle item creation only. You have to create code to item update by yourself.
In your controller action you must use function renderPartial
$this->renderPartial('//views/reviw/_form',array('data' => $data ) );
First argument of this function is used to determine which view to use:
absolute view within a module: the view name starts with a single slash '/'. In this case, the view will be searched for under the
currently active module's view path. If there is no active module,
the view will be searched for under the application's view path.
absolute view within the application: the view name starts with double slashes '//'. In this case, the view will be searched for
under the application's view path. This syntax has been available
since version 1.1.3.
aliased view: the view name contains dots and refers to a path alias. The view file is determined by calling
YiiBase::getPathOfAlias(). Note that aliased views cannot be themed
because they can refer to a view file located at arbitrary places.
relative view: otherwise. Relative views will be searched for under the currently active controller's view path.
Also you can use this function in your views. But the most convenient way to reuse views is to create widgets.
How to set the Label Text which is available on _Layout.cstml from different Controller.
For Example
If I want to navigate from Dashboard to ProductList Page. Then My Label Text on _Layout Page should be "Product List". which I am setting from ProductList Controller Index Method.
Thanks in advance.
Use the ViewBag.xyz in _Layout.cshtml. Pass the viewdata from controller action and it will be shown on your html page.
Note:- Please confirm me if you means something else. I will update my answer if this doesn't means what you looking for.
it's look like you want to set the ViewBag.Xyz different different for every controller.
I recommanded you to use ActionFilterAttribute to make it work. The code will something like this.
public class DashboardCustomData : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.xyz = "This is my Dashboard page";
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
}
Now put this Actionfilter to every controller. You need to use different different ActionFilter for every controller which have different title. After doing this you never need to set it manually from every controller.
If you don't like to write the multiple filter then try this one.
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
string controllerName = filterContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString();
string ActionName = filterContext.RouteData.Values["Action"].ToString();
if (controllerName == "Dashboard")
{
filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.xyz = "This is my Dashboard page";
}
else
{
}
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
You make BaseViewModel class with that prop, set _Layout's model as this type and derive other models from it. Now you can access that prop from any derived model
You use ViewBag or ViewData
You make a #section in Layout view and populate it within Controller's views
If you need Layout's fields in many controllers then usage of #1 looks preferred.
Why does not use this simple approach:
#{
ViewBag.Name = "...";
Layout = "_Layout.cstml";
}
And in your layout set your lable text with #ViewBag.Name
Layout
<label>#ViewBag.Label</label>
Then just assign a value to ViewBag.Label in your controllers, and it will automatically change.
public ActionResult OtherPage()
{
ViewBag.Label = "Other Label";
}
Solution you have suggested works when I am on the same Controllers View but here I want to Change the Text of Controller on Master Page.
In Asp.net We use Master Page Reference on Child Page then we can
easily Change the Text, but how do i do same in MVC... Hope you
understood the scenario. –
If you look at what is generated when you start a new project with the "Internet Template" in MVC 4, you have a way to do it already working for you:
In the element of _Layout, look for <title>#ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET MVC Application</title>, then in all the different views, you have something like this:
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Contact";
}
<hgroup class="title">
<h1>#ViewBag.Title.</h1>
<h2>#ViewBag.Message</h2>
</hgroup>
All you need to do is to move/duplicate ViewBag.Title out of the HEAD intot the BODY, or create your own ViewBag variable, and set it's values from your different views. Obviously you could just as well set the value from the controller, but I don't see the need, as this really has to do exclusively with the user interface, which is the Views job.
Finally, if I may, don't try to duplicate in MVC what you're used to with ASP.NET. The paradigms are way too differents, chances are that you are going to waste time while there might be an easy MVC way to achieve the same thing.
It seems to me this is just an example of it.....
Let's say in a view I have a DojoX Mobile ListItem that is pulling an HTML view fragment into the DOM via AJAX and then transitioning to that view. Assume this is all working fine.
Now, I go back to the initial view that had that ListItem on it and click some other button that destroys that view node from the DOM. If I now click on that ListItem that previously loaded that view node into the DOM (which has now been removed), it will try to transition to a view that doesn't exist. It doesn't know that it has been removed.
Is there some type of way to tell a ListItem that it needs to fetch the HTML again because what was previously fetched no longer exists? I am not seeing anything about doing this in any documentation anywhere. I don't think a code sample is really necessary here, but I can provide a minimal one if necessary.
I went a different route and left the view exist in the DOM, and simply made a function that clears all sensitive data out of the view.
Okay, in this case, i guess you could hook the onShow function of your ListItem container(or any other onchange event). Create a listener for said handle to evaluate if your item needs reloading. Following is under the assumtion that it is the item.onclick contents showing - and not the label of your item which contains these informations
Or better yet, do all this during initialization so that your ListItem container will be an extended with custom onClick code.
Seems simple but may introduce some quirks, where/when/if you programatically change to this item, however here goes:
function checkItem() {
// figure out if DOM is present and if it should be
if( isLoggedIn() ) {
this.getChildren().forEach(function(listitem) {
if( dojo.query("#ID_TO_LOOK_FOR", listitem.domNode).length == 0 ) {
// this references the listItem, refresh contents.
// Note: this expects the listitem to be stateful, have no testing environment at time being but it should be
listitem.set("url", listitem.url);
}
});
}
}
Preferably, set this in your construct of the container for your ListItems
var listItemParent = new dojox.mobile.RoundRectList({
onShow : checkItem,
...
});
Or create listener
var listItemParent = dijit.byId('itemRegistryId');
// override onClick - calling inheritance chain once done
dojo.connect(listItemParent, "onClick", listItemParent, checkItem);
