I'm not sure if my codebase would be suitable for you, it's rather specialized to client requirements (Online PDF publication permission system). It works off a system where the user pays for a subscriptions.

But if you feel like using it as a starting point, I can check it out for you. I'm not sure who the IP belongs to, us or the client. I also can't offer much int he way of support sorry.

If it were up to me, I'd give to you, but I gotta check sorry.

Be back to you before the weekend.

Thank you willr,

I had a feeling it would need to be done that way. I finally hired a full time programmer but have him busy with other things right now, but your statement will give him some direction.

Thank you,
Steve Nyhof

You can't pass variables into statements (like foo($Bar)) which is what you're doing. Instead what you should be doing is having a relationship between the pages then you can go <% control ThatOtherPageThisRelatesTo %>$Content<% end_control %>

For the nav 1 you want to use the $LinkOrSection var like class="$LinkOrSection". It returns 'section' if you are on the page or a child page. 'link' otherwise.

For the nav 2 you can just use the $LinkingMode and style the .current class.

Might be good to file this as a ticket on open.silverstripe.org if this is still an issue for you in 2.4.

Bart,

Thank you! You just saved me a whole lot of grief. I was afraid I would have to reinstall everything again!

I guess this is what happens when newbies go out making their own websites.

Then you should use the code i put above and save it in the .htaccess file and put it on your server.

Probably you need to use

RewriteBase /

instead of

RewriteBase /silverstripe

Add patch http://open.silverstripe.org/changeset/100904 to your source, that should fix this issue. See ticket http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/5101

Hmm I'll have to talk to my Server Guys and see if there is a major issue with removing it from the list. Otherwise we'll have to find another solution. I've seen there's Sphinx search in the works, it may be a wait and see

bartvanirsel — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:48:35 +1300

You could do a reintall and get it generated.

Here is the (normal) content:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /silverstripe

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

Of course RewriteBase /silverstripe has to be replaced by the place your install is.

"Beyond" is in MySQL's stop-word list and therefor ignored in fulltext-searches. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/fulltext-stopwords.html

Much like the title of the thread says. I accidentally deleted this file and was wondering if anyone could chime in and help me replace this file. I have been searching and havent found anything related to replacing this if it was accidentally deleted.

Thanks!

handling different ports in URLs

splatEric — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:30:46 +1300

Hi,

I've just been working with the pagination recipe for my implementation of a news index page. It was working fine, except the $NextLink and $PrevLink values weren't working properly. Looking at the URLs that were being produced, I could see that the port of my development server address was not being inserted into the absolute URL that these values were being defined with.I am using MAMP on OSX, which is running over port 8888.

I took a look through the forums, but couldn't find anyone mentioning this. so in the spirit of adventure/sheer bloodymindedness, I went in search of where this URL was being defined. I dug it out and have patched my local code to fix this problem:

sapphire/core/HTTP.php

115,118d114
<             isset($parts['port']) && $parts['port'] != ''
<             ? ':' . $parts['port']
<             : ''
<          ) . (

No idea if this information will be useful to anyone or not, but thought I'd throw it out there for anyone else who runs across a similar problem

cheers

Mike

Please take a look at my screen shot, it shows what I would like to have happen on my web site with the navigation.
Can help me come up with some code that would show the Top navigation (menu 1) be highlighted when it's child (menu 2) is selected and active/current?

This seemed easy, but the code I found here: http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls
didn't help me. My top navigation (menu 1) uses a tab look made up of a background image that is located in my css/typography.css

.typography ol span { color: #666666; }
/* menu tabs */
.typography #header a {
   float:left;
   background: url(http://www.silverstripe.org/../images/tableft.png) no-repeat left top;
   margin:0;
   padding:0 0 0 4px;
   text-decoration:none;
}
.typography #header a span {
   float:left;
   display:block;
   background: url(http://www.silverstripe.org/../images/tabright.gif) no-repeat right top;
   padding:6px 5px 3px 8px;
   color: #FFF;
}

.typography #current a {
   float:left;
   background: url(http://www.silverstripe.org/../images/tableft.png) no-repeat left top;
   margin:0;
   padding:0 0 0 4px;
   text-decoration:none;
}

.typography #current a span {
   float:left;
   display:block;
   background: url(http://www.silverstripe.org/../images/tabright.gif) no-repeat right top;
   padding:6px 5px 3px 8px;
   color: #FFF;
}

--------------------------------------------------------
Currently, this is the code in my Includes/Navigation.ss file

<ul>
<% control Menu(1) %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page"><span>$MenuTitle</span></a></li>

<% end_control %>
</ul>

Re: Show children from another page

Marlie511 — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:08:37 +1300

I tried inserting this into my page.ss and when I flush the page it brakes the site by giving it a a blank page.
Do you have any idea by either looking at the code below for the URLSegment or by looking at all the code in my page.ss file if there is something I am messed up?

<div id="sidebar" >
<% if URLSegment != Home %>
<% if ChildrenOf(Home) %>
<ul id="SideNav">
<% control ChildrenOf(home) %>
<li class="$LinkingMode">
<a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title Menu">$Title</a>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>c

Loading page content on another page

steve_nyhof — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:26:12 +1300

I want to load page content from another page into another page, by using the site tree dropdown. I have everything in place, but I am not sure how to add the code to grab the page...

This works

<div class="typography"><h1><% control Title %>$XML<% end_control %></h1>
<% control Page(disclaimer) %>$Content<% end_control %></div>

This does not

<div class="typography"><h1><% control Title %>$XML<% end_control %></h1>
<% control Page(MyDataFieldName) %>$Content<% end_control %></div>

My page code... All seems to do well.

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TreeDropdownField('DuplicateContentPage', 'Select Page:', 'SiteTree', 'URLSegment', 'MenuTitle'));

In the databse, the value is 0 (zero), and I need it to be the page name - like home, or special-footer

Thank you
Steve Nyhof

How do you know when it is working correctly?

Error with global call

steve_nyhof — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:56:24 +1300

I have been using this code for a long time without an issue. However, I have never used it in a global situation.

This seems to work fine
<% if PageFontType == 0 %>

And this works fine also
<% if callGlobal.GlFontTypes %>

But this gives me the error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}'..."
<% if callGlobal.GlFontTypes == 0 %>

The function that call the global settings into the page

public function callGlobal(){
return DataObject::get_one('PageGlobal');
}

Any ideas of what I must do differently?

Thank you,
Steve Nyhof

This is a question for Double-A-Ron.

I am working on a membership only site and was wondering if I could purchase your membership module? I was playing around with customising the forum module as this uses profiles, etc. But think the e-commerce route makes a lot more sense as the client may want to allow payments at a later date.

Is it possible to contact you and come to some arrangement about purchasing this module?

Cheers,

Search results formatting

jseth — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:32:35 +1300

I'm using the Blackcandy template for two separate sites. On one site, when you use the search form, the results come back very nicely formatted. On the other site, the search results come back actually showing the page itself in the results listing. Can't imagine what is different between the two sites, as I haven't messed around with the search function at all, since I was pleased with it as it performed right out of the box. Would anyone know why it is displaying like this? Thanks.
