Hi

I have a problem trying to do this :

Replace the value of a variable called $contentdisplay based on the value of a variable called $contenttype and this should be triggered by a link in the template.

So I tried to do it this way.

I created several tabs in cms admin using this to define the :

 static $db = array(
   
'ActifsProduct' => 'HTMLText',
'TextProduct' => 'HTMLText',
'GestesProduct' => 'HTMLText',
'SecretProduct' => 'HTMLText',
      'ImageName' => 'Text',
   
);
public function getCMSFields()
	{
		$f = parent::getCMSFields();


	$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.ActifsProduct', new HtmlEditorField('ActifsProduct')); 
	$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.TextProduct', new HtmlEditorField('TextProduct')); 
	$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.GestesProduct', new HtmlEditorField('GestesProduct')); 
	$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.SecretProduct', new HtmlEditorField('SecretProduct')); 
	$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('ImageName'), 'Content');
	  		
		return $f;

	}
}

Then in my controler I did this

class ProductPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
{


public  SwitchContent(){

if ($contenttype == 'content01')
{$contentdisplay = $this ->TextProduct};
elseif ($contenttype == 'content02')
 {  $contentdisplay = $this ->GestesProduct};
 elseif ($contenttype == 'content03')
 {  $contentdisplay = $this ->SecretProduct};

  else {$contentdisplay = $this ->ImageName};
   return $contentdisplay
}


}

finally in my template I got this

<% control SwitchContent %>

<div id="NavDescriptif">
<li><a href="$Link?$contenttype='content01' " class="$LinkingMode">content01</a></li>
<li><a href="$Link?$contenttype='content02' " class="$LinkingMode">content02</a></li>
<li><a href="$Link?$contenttype='content03 " class="$LinkingMode">content01</a></li>
$contentdisplay
<% end_control %>
[c/ode]


I really need a hand on this because my project is stuck...

I get a syntax error on the php code part 

Thanks a lot for your help

public SwitchContent(){

if ($contenttype ...

You have not defined $contenttype anywhere before in that function so of course PHP will throw an error.

oups I made a mistake copying my code it is suposed to be :

public function SwitchContent() {...}

But in fact I feel I'm not doing this the right way.

I had another answer on some other point telling me that to do what i wanted ( displaying tabbed content) I should use Jquery.

What do you suggest can I do it without Jquery or not ?

Thank you

You can always write jQuery to display the tabs for you but jQuery tools [1] and jQuery UI do provide tabbing functionality out of the box

[2] http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/

Thanks a lot Willr

I will take a look at this but it seems quite easy to use.

I will try this today and let you know how it goes but I think you saved me ;)

One more question do I have to install Jquery in SS or is it provided with it I'm currently using 2.4 stable

Thanks Again

SS 2.4 includes jQuery 1.4.2 in the download. To include it on your webpage you can do the following in your Page.ss

<% require javascript(sapphire/thirdparty/jquery/jquery.js %>

Hello

Thanks a lot !!!!

I'm ok now

those tools are amazing .

That was vey nice of you to poit them !

Thanks
