I've been looking around for some guide that could tell me how to make an existing menu editable when added in Concrete 5.
Here's the menu I'm using now, I'd like to be able to edit it in c5:
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><span>Hem</span></li>
<li><span>Om oss</span></li>
<li><span>Tjänster</span></li>
<li><span>Referenser</span></li>
<li><span> Kontakt</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
The links doesn't work at all in c5, so if anyone could help me a little that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
One of the nice benefits of using any CMS is that it will automatically create the nav menu for you -- so that when users add new pages they automatically show up in the menu.
In Concrete5 specifically, the way you do this is with the "AutoNav" block. As with any block, this can be added to areas on your page, but since you generally want the nav menu to appear on EVERY page in the same place, you can also add the block directly in your template code.
So, for your menu (which is a one-level menu without a dropdown), replace your nav menu html with this code:
<?php
$nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
$nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
$nav->controller->displayPages = 'top';
$nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'none';
$nav->render('templates/header_menu');
?>
Now you will need to make a change to your CSS, because that code will generate HTML that is slightly different than what you have -- it looks more like this:
<ul class="nav-header">
<li>Hem</li>
<li>Om oss</li>
<li>Tjänster</li>
<li>Referenser</li>
<li>Kontakt</li>
</ul>
The differences are that there's no surrounding div (although you could leave that if you wanted by surrounding the php code above in the opening and closing div tags), there's no span around the nav items, and the class for a selected item is "nav-selected" instead of "current".

I'm new to Wordpress and PHP and this might be a dumb question, but I'm trying to link one of my menu items to one of the sections on my index page.
I know that if I just wanted to link it to the index I should use this:
<?php echo home_url(); ?>
But I want the link to send the user to the "About" section. Basically, I need to know how to do this:
index.php#about
but with PHP.
Thank you!
You're on the right track.
The ideal way to do this would be to add a <a name="about></a> tag to the appropriate section of your template. This is called an HTML anchor and is how those #tags know where to point to.
Given that this is Wordpress, you could probably also get away with just appending that to the title of the appropriate section. So wherever you specified 'call this section "About"', you could probably redo it as 'call this section "<a name="about">About</a>"' and then you'll be able to link to it using anchors like in your example-- About
If you are new to php, maybe you should use wordpress's editor ?
In your page (in the admin page), you can put any html you want.
In the editor, you can add custom links (with anchors or not) and you can put a div tag in the "html" tab.
So if you put your link at the top of your page and put your section in a div id="myanchor", it should do it !
You shouldn't do this with HTML or PHP but rather with JS. Specifically for long pages and require in-page navigation, I really like the scrollTo jQuery plugin.
In practice, you'll have some HTML containers that look something like this:
<!-- Your menu -->
<ul>
<li id="about-button"></li>
<li id="product-button"></li>
<li id="something-button"></li>
<li id="else-button"></li>
</ul>
<!--Your page sections-->
<main class="my-page">
<section id="about"></section>
<section id="product"></section>
<section id="something"></section>
<section id="else"></section>
</main>
Once you've included jQuery and the scrollTo plugin, you'll have some JS that looks like this:
$('#about-button').click(function() {
$.scrollTo($('#about'), {
duration: 800,
offset: -50
});
return false;
});
The JS is saying that once you click on the #about-button, take 800 milliseconds and animate the page down to -50px before the position of the #about HTML element. You could just setup a series of click functions for each button and you'd have a slick in-page nav system.
I'm working on a scrollable one-page website, in which each div represents a different section. For example, url is dynaone.com/index.php, and when I click on the menu's different buttons, it changes to /index.php#s1, #s2, #s3, and so on. In section nº 2 I added another menu that works with php GET, in a way that when you click on one of the buttons, it redirects you to index.php?id=1 and so on. Of course when I first tried it, it scrolled me back to the top of the page, 'home', as I wasn't specifying the section. But when I did, assigning "index.php?id=1#s2" to the first element in the inner menu, it redirected me to section 1. It doesn't matter which number I write after "#s", it will keep putting section nº 1 on top of the page.
I'm using SMINT's demo as a base, adjusting it to my website's needs, but I couldn't find anything related to GET method issues on the plugin's page.
I would really appreciate some help with this, as it's very annoying having to go back everytime I click to correctly view section nº 2.
This is part of my inner menu:
<div id="botonera_productos"><ul>
<li> Quemadores </li>
<li> BCAAs</li> </ul> </div>
This is my php section:
if(#$_GET['id']==1) {
?>
<figure><img src="imagenes/quemadores/1.jpg"><figcaption> ULTIMATE L-CARNITINA 500 60 TABS - <b>$330</b> </figcaption></figure>
<?php } ?>
And this is the site's main menu:
<nav class="subMenu" >
<div class="inner">
Home
Nosotros
Productos
Local
Envíos
Consultas
Facebook
</div>
</nav>
Thank you.
The question isn't very clear but basically:
The anchor is an HTML construct. So once the page is already loaded, you can use #whatever to take you to wherever on that page that the anchor has been defined; ala <a id="whatever">
The PHP arguments, like ?id=1 - a new page will be loaded depending on what you use here.
You can use anchors in conjunction with a PHP page (ie. a PHP page may have multiple anchors) but you cannot load a new page with anchors alone.
Maybe Javascript will help you achieve what you want to do. With AJAX calls and the like then there are far less restrictions on how you load data.
I'm have a problem and I don't really know how to fix it. I'm trying to style the Tabs above my forum made with Drupal(see picture)
For some reason it always renders the tabs like on the picture. This is because I'm using the render function (print render($tabs)). I don't know how to get the names of the tabs. They are in a Array called $tabs, but this array returns this(See picture)
Here is everything summarized:
I want to design Drupal's default tabs, but there is one problem, I can't get the names of the tabs without using print render($tabs). But this function already styles the tabs.
Current code:
<?php if ($tabs): ?>
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-justified">
<li class="active"><?php print_r render($tabs);?></li>
</ul>
<?php endif ?>
EDIT
When you click the tab, it has to redict to a URL. with the render function, it does this automatically. Is it also possible to do this?
Currently for my projects I create the navigation for each page manually and it looks something similar to:
<nav>
<ul id="mainMenu"><!--Main Menu-->
<li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
This works fine, however for projects that has many many pages it is not a really good practice or even efficient to do it manually. So I was wondering if there is anyone who can direct me to the right path and advice me on how to make my navigation dynamic? I know about PHP include and the .inc files - they are good. BUT I want to add class .active to the <a> of the page that is currently open. How can I do that?
BTW: I don't know if this s the right place to post this sort of questions here, but the moderator told me to post it here.
Use include to add a central php file, that contains a function which can take the current page as a parameter:
nav.inc:
function renderNavigation($current_page) {
//render you navigation
}
main.php:
require_once("nav.inc");
renderNavigation("Subpage 1")
I have my navigation in a separate file that is linked to my regular pages with a <?php require statement. I have a class on the <li> in the menu that will change the word to a white rather than gray. So In short I have:
<li class="active">
Home
</li>
<li class="">
About
</li>
I need to change the class to active when the each page is being viewed but to "" when it is not being viewed. I'm not sure how to do it though?
I hope this makes sense.
Update:
As per the comments, I thought it would be a good idea to outline what I am wanting to do maybe a little better.
The Navigation itself is inside a separate file called navigation.php
The actual pages are at the base of the files ex: home, about, contact
When the page Home is being viewed the class active needs to be on the <li> of that menu item. When the about page is being viewed the class needs to be on that menu item and the menu items class for home needs to be blank.
You're looking to do stuff when window.onfocus triggers - use JQuery class manipulation here, which is the easiest way to do it.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.onfocus
http://api.jquery.com/addClass/
http://api.jquery.com/removeClass/
EDIT: If I understand your design, you have a navbar with links over an iframe holding the sub-pages (home, about, etc). In this case, just bind click handlers to the navbar divs that set and unset class and load the proper page into the iframe.
This is actually really simple.
Add Unique Id's to each one of the <li> in the menu
and then use the jQuery window.onfocus triggers and place this script on each one of the pages (home, about, contact)
window.onfocus = document.getElementById('indexNav').className=" active";
Changing the element ID to match each page.
So on the Home page you would have something like: indexNav for the ID
and then on the About page you would have something like: aboutNav for the id.
I think this is what you were looking for, I've tested it out,
<style>
.active{
color:white !important;
}
<style>
<script>
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = links.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if(links[i].href==this.location) links[i].parentNode.setAttribute('class','color');
};
</script>
This dosen't require the link titles to have the same names as locations.
