Re: Problems with CSS caching classes after deletion (post by synfield)

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:36:23 +1200

Ok now, re-ran setup and this rebuilt the relevant plugin cache. Also didin't realise that my images are also cached in mysite/cache/images and that I had resized a background image but becqause the img name remained unchanged it was retrieving the old version from the cache. Something to be aware of in future.

Re: Problems with CSS caching classes after deletion (post by synfield)

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:54:09 +1200

I'm having major difficulties with the css cache on my product item page, I've added a template which handles the specific "read more" link in the products listings page that when clicked displays the full text for that item.

However the background image and header image for the content is not rendering correctly even though my draft template version works fine.

But when I deleted the css classes for this item, it still remains in cache, even if I empty the cache in admin and delete the smarty cache, it still refering to a cached version. In firefox I use the web developer view styles info and when I click on the classes, that should no longer be there, it still displays the old class information?

I've been struggling with this all day as changes to the css isn't being updated.

Any help on this would be appreciate.

Regards.

Re: smarty custom function jojoHook (post by Harvey)

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:35:26 +1200

You mean {jojoHook hook="articleBeforeBody"} right?

These hooks are for allowing other plugins to add content to the template.

For a practical example of how this works, have a look at the jojo_blogicons plugin - which inserts a row of Digg, Technorati, Furl etc icons using the articleAfterBody hook.

Re: smarty custom function jojoHook (post by synfield)

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:51:18 +1200

I'm curious to know what {jojoHook hook="productBeforeBody"} and {jojoHook hook="productAfterBody"} means - these are found in the articles plugin template.

I've had a cursory look at the runSmartyHook function in the main JOJO class, which to me loads & runs a function from a plugin class.

But I've done a global find in the site directory and no function seems to be defined for this.

Would appreciate some insight into how this works.
Thanks.

Could I please get a copy of this plugin. It would be a good platform for understanding how the backend gui customisation works.

Could you also resurrect the "sidebar templates" video as the video file is no longer available.

Cheers.

Prevent theme template overiding plugin template (post by tom)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:11:47 +1200

the readmore link ought to link to the product url as generated by getProducts in your plugin, which is called by global.php to produce the product index.

check there first to see what url is being sent through.

also, you may need to check in the api file to see what URI patterns have been set for Jojo to recognise as references specific to this plugin eg
Jojo::registerURI("$prefix/[id:integer]/[string]", 'Jojo_Plugin_Jojo_article');
which depends also on the prefix being correctly set

Slideshow Plugin (post by tom)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:02:03 +1200

I was having a similar issue with Youtube plugin.. the trick (in order to get it working as you originally planned) is including the filter twice in the api file for the plugin:

eg
Jojo::addFilter('content', 'youtube', 'jojo_youtube');
Jojo::addFilter('output', 'youtube', 'jojo_youtube');

'content' checks the body content for the [[ reference ]]
'output' checks again after smarty has finished with the template.
this way you can have filter references in the body or the template.

Using just 'content' means references in the template get ignored, using just 'output' means that smarty will convert [[ ]] in the body to htmlentities before the filter has a chance to look for them

Prevent theme template overiding plugin template (post by synfield)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:00:06 +1200

I have copied renamed artcles plugin (as "products") to generate my products page, however when I click on the "read more" link I get redirected back to the products page rather than get the requested single product page.

I'm using $pg_url in a section of my theme template to render the products pg if "products" is present in the URL, however this seems to overide the default jojo_product.tpl in the plugins templates folder.

How can I prevent this ?

Regards.

url alias domain problem (post by Harvey)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:01:19 +1200

The issue is possibly the SITEURL option - stored in the 'option' table in the database.

Jojo is designed to do a 301 redirect from development URLs to the real URL - this is to prevent potential duplicate content problems which can be big problems.

Getting a 404 isn't what I would expect though - I would expect it to 301 to the local domain, then your browser would generate a 'server not found' error.

But, first thing to try is to edit the 'siteurl' option and see if that changes anything.

I notice with your example you are showing 2 different root domains - this makes things a bit easier. If it was something like http://domain.com and http://dev.com/temporary/ (note the subfolder) then you would also need to edit the RewriteBase directive in .htaccess.

I'd be interested to know if changing siteurl solves your issue - if it does, you will need to change this variable depending where you are accessing the server from - currently there is no way to disable the automatic redirect behaviour, though it's something I have been wanting to implement.

url alias domain problem (post by synfield)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:25:16 +1200

The development server on which I'm hosting my jojo cms is accessed on the intranet by it's real domain name e.g. http://realdomain.ac.nz:8080/ and accessed externally by an alias http://aliasdomain.ac.nz:8080/

When I access the site externally I get a custom jojo generated 404 - pg not found with links to home etc which have the realdomain href's .

Can I set up .htaccess to translate the alias back to the real domain name, what is the syntax and will this work with mod rewrite of friendly url mappings?

Thanks.

Multiple Blog / Articles (post by synfield)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:10:25 +1200

I've got this to work, one of the table id's in the install script for the plugin had missed the find-replace swap and retained the old id name causing a conflict

Multiple Blog / Articles (post by synfield)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:06:44 +1200

I've got a page that displays 4 panels horizontally across the page, each panel provides a summary of the 4 services the client sells.

I thought that the article plugin would be the closest fit in order to update each panel of content.

Therefore I copied the plugin and replaced every instance of 'article' with 'panel', checked the install script and tables etc..However although running setup confirms that the panel table is being created, only the panel_comments table is created. Likewise there is no 'edit panels' link in the admin/content/ menu.

I'm able to install the plugin & create a page called 'Products' and selecting the content type e.g. 'Panel - Panel Comment Admin' , but can't not suprisingly get any front end output or admin link.

Do I have to register the plugin anywhere else?

Regards.

customhead.tpl jquery doc ready (post by synfield)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:52:32 +1200

Excellent! Thanks again!

customhead.tpl jquery doc ready (post by Harvey)

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:34:38 +1200

Probably what you will neen to do is delete the Smarty compiled templates - in mysite/cache/smarty/templates_c/ - delete everything in here.

Smarty caches compiled templates and largely does a good job of this. But sometimes when you move the files between systems, the timestamps get all mucked up and Smarty doesn't recompile the files. Anyway, delete these, it should start working again.

$NEXTASSET is a Jojo-generated variable that you can prefix to CSS / JS / Image files. It does nothing unless the assetdomains option is enabled. This option is for spreading attached files across several domains or subdomains - the theory is that browsers will only download 2 files at a time per domain - so by spreading the attached js / css / image files across 2 or 3 domains, there should be more parallel downloading of content for the user, and faster performance.

That's the theory - in practice, I haven't really noticed much difference in performance by having the option enabled, so we never really use this option. A shame, it took a while to program, and I thought myself very clever while I was doing it.

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:48:49 +1200

I copied my files accross form my laptop (vista premium) to my work environment (win xp).

As I have the exact same folder structure on both, however the customhead.tpl is not being included at all;

the customhead.tpl only contains

<script type="text/javascript" src="{cycle values=$NEXTASSET}external/jquery/jquery.cycle.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{cycle values=$NEXTASSET}external/jquery/jquery_functions.js"></script>

As an aside what is in the variable/array $NEXTASSET ?

Have deleted cache & checked permissions but to no avail, the source code is missing the customhead.tpl file?

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:30:32 +1200

Depends what you need to do - using customhead allows you to use dynamic Javascript code - using all the power that Smarty has available, which can be quite handy. But escaping braces is definitely a hassle.

An external js file introduces a slight overhead as it's included / executed on every page, but also means it gets cached by the browser and is nicely out of the way.

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:27:56 +1200

Thanks Harvey. I just put the code into it's own external js file which is probably what I should've be doing anyway.

Cheers

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:23:42 +1200

I haven't looked into your post in too much detail, but it could be to do with escaping the braces (curly brackets).

In any Smarty template, you need to wrap {literal}{/literal} around any code that includes braces. Alternatively, you can use {ldelim} and {rdelim} instead of braces (see the Smarty manual).

Try that and let me know if that's not the issue.

customhead.tpl jquery doc ready (post by synfield)

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:35:53 +1200

Ok, I'm back to the concerns I have in my original post.

The jquery stuff is getting stripped out, i have renamed my customhead.tpl and reset it back to check if the changes are registering in the page source view.

My customhead.tpl has the following jquery code

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#s2').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 2500
});

$('.btn').each(function(){
var b = $(this);
var tt = b.text() || b.val();
if ($(':submit,:button',this)) {
//the following line is the culprit
//b = $('<a>').insertAfter(this).addClass(this.className).attr('id',this.id);
//$(this).remove();
b.replaceWith("<a style='cursor: pointer;' class='" + b.attr("class") + "' href='" + $(".btnp").attr("href") + "'>" + tt + "</a>");
}
//b.text('').css({cursor:'pointer'}). prepend('').append($('').text(tt).append(''));
//b.text('').css({cursor:'pointer'}).prepend('' + tt).append('');
//format required
//<a style="cursor: pointer;" id="" class="btnp orange">Apply Now</a>
});
});

But in source view I get;

$(document).ready(function());

$('.btn').each(function()
//b.text('').css(). prepend('').append($('').text(tt).append(''));
//b.text('').css().prepend('' + tt).append('');
//format required
//<a style="cursor: pointer;" id="" class="btnp orange">Apply Now</a>
});
});

Can someone explain?

I've got a few jquery functions in the jquery doc ready wrap in the header, which are ported from my another xhtml site template, so I put them into the jojo header via cutomhead.tpl.

However i noticed that the doc ready code is there but the rest of the functions get stripped???

Why? and how do i work around this.

Harvey said...
In PHPMyAdmin (or your database editor of choice), browse to the admin user record in the user table. Edit the record - clear the us_salt field, and clear the us_password field.

Next, add your password manually into the field - but you need to enter a SHA password. In phpMyAdmin this is easy, simply choose 'SHA1' from the dropdown next to the text field where you enter the new password and it will hash your password for you.

That did the trick. Seems odd it happened, but thanks for helping me to sort it out.

Seems odd that the above is happening, but there is another way to reset the admin account.

Next, add your password manually into the field - but you need to enter a SHA password. In phpMyAdmin this is easy, simply choose 'SHA1' from the dropdown next to the text field where you enter the new password and it will hash your password for you.

Also make sure the admin account hasn't been locked from too many failed login attempts (us_locked field should be set to zero).

Grab me on msn if you still can't get in (harvey@ this domain name).

I've just tried this, and cannot login nor reset (even though the webmaster email is the default email address I have tried to reset). Looking at the user table in the database, the admin email was empty for some reason ... perhaps it is something to do with me using a custom Admin URI upon installation?

Either way, I manually inserted email address for admin user but am still geting the following message: "There was an error sending the Reset email. Please contact the webmaster for further help ..."

Is there an alternative way to setup a working admin user?

Manage Images (post by creativechaos)

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:38:57 +1200

Hi,

I seem to have issues trying to manages images that have been uploaded through the Gallery3 plugin.

When I click on Manage Images, I see the following link options:

* articlesfolder
* files
* gallery3
* images

I then click the "Gallery3" folder, I see a folder called "1" which I can see through FTP houses the uploaded files for my Gallery.

When I click the "1", instead of being shown the files I am redirected back to the top level and only see the options to click on the "articlesfolder", "files", "gallery3" or "images" links again.

I had this previously set up on a different server and this did work in showing me the files in the Gallery3/1 folder so I could remove the files from that gallery.

Any ideas why I am just getting this redirecting loop instead of seeing the files?

Slideshow Plugin (post by lynchpin)

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:00:02 +1200

I'm working on integrating the jojo_slideshow plugin so that I can specify a specific slideshow on each page. I have added a field called pg_header to page table that allows to select a slideshow.
Now, my only problem is including the slideshow in my template file.
According to the slideshow documentation, this is the tag needed:

[[slideshow:{$pg_header}]]

If I insert this tag into a page body and replace the pg_header with my slideshow id, it works fine, but when I use this in the template file, it just outputs this as it is:

[[slideshow:1]]

It seems that the plugin is being called before this tag is picked up. Is there a way around that?

Hi,

I am now getting a 404 error, I have taken a look at the topic that was relating to it but I couldn't solve the problem.

If I change the plugin so that it doesn't use the [[plugin]] method, but uses the technical tab option in the admin then I can get the GET variables working.

Any ideas, why I can't get it working using the [[plugin]] method?
