I am creating a document in one the pages in our website and I have to disable the layout.
All the CSS and JavaScript files are included via Bootstrap and I echo those links in layout.
So now I still need to add those links in controller of the page.
My code in bootstrap as follows:
$view->headLink()
->appendStylesheet('/css/bootstrap-cerulean.css')
->appendStylesheet('/css/bootstrap-responsive.css')
->appendStylesheet('/css/charisma-app.css');
I am trying to use this appended links in the related controller without having to type them one by one. Is There a way for me to pull this from Bootstrap and echo in controller action.
Thank you.
its not a good idea to do any view operations in controller action.
maybe think about using different layout in that action?
I have a website that needs to have a variation of pages.
For example:
website.com/variation1/page1
website.com/variation2/page1
website.com/variation3/page1
All of which has the same DB and has the same function. The only difference is that these variations differs in page template ie. Header, Footer, Content, etc. This is for the purpose of analyzing page visits.
With that, what is the best way to do this? In Yii, there is a common layout used so header/footer depends on the layout. In this case, the header/footer should be specific to each page so the user can just modify the header/footer/content of a specific page without affecting other pages.
So, again what is the best approach for this?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
I think I know what I'm looking for here:
Is there a way to override/add from a layout the header in a view file?
Create Three different layouts say variation1.php, variation2.php, variation3.php, then based on the action(website.com/variation/pageone) or the parameter(website.com/variation/page/1) change the layout(in action).
I just found out a possible solution to approach page variations.
Under my view directory I created a directory varation which contains the pages i.e.
/view/variation/1/page1.php
/view/variation/2/page1.php
So when I want to render the varations I'll call each in the controller with parameters included.
Ex. $this->render('variation/1/page1') somewhat.
And in each page if you want to use a specific header info you may use
Register Meta Tag
Register Script File / Script
Register CSS File / CSS
Let me know if there are better ways of doing this.
I want to make a wordpress site that refreshes only the content/post part and not the header, navigation, footer or the sidebar.
Is this possible? If yes then how?
If you want most of the elements to remain in place you are not refreshing necessarily. What you would want to do is an AJAX request to retrieve the new information for the_content and update the DOM with JavaScript.
You would need a function that intercepts the click event for links, handles the AJAX, and then returns false to prevent navigating away from the page.
What you try to achieve is technically possible, however your wordpress theme must support that. You need to use AJAX for it and your theme needs to provide server endpoints for the type of content that is going to be requested.
This can be done by providing fragment templates inside your theme which only return the fragment in question (e.g. content column, menu). However depending on your site's layout this might not be always possible, e.g. if the layout changes from one page to another.
A possible workaround is to request the new page via AJAX and only replace the parts inside the DOM that are changed.
In any case you need to register an AJAX PHP callback function within wordpressCodex.
I'm quite new to Drupal and want do some editing of the header. I want a custom toolbar to appear on every page. I've already created that toolbar in a file called toolbar.php. It has a layer which is fixed and will appear on top of every page.
How do I include the toolbar.php in the header template of drupal?
The toolbar refers to $user which is a global Drupal variable and I want to test toolbar.php before publishing it to the site. Is there anyway I can do that?

Of the two methods above the first is easier if you understand the basic idea of html and CMS templates, the second will be easier if you are a programmer.
First thing to check is that you really need to do this! Can't you restyle one of the existing menus (Primary or secondary) to do this - will make your life (and anyone who works on the site in the future) a lot easier.
The other thing you can do is look into adding an output region, basically something where you put the php into a drupal friendly format and then effectively do a 'drupal print'. This is how the toolbar, search box etc are done. You still need to alter the templates as above.
Yes for sure. If you want to have the html produced by your function/file appear on every page of the site then you will need to over-ride the page.tpl.php file in the theme you are using and essentually add the html to that file.
To gain access to the $user variable, just declare it in your script.
global $user;
open page.tpl.php file in a code editor and save as page-front.tpl.php (with two dashes if you are using Drupal 7.. one dash with Drupal 6) and upload it to your theme's directory. Clear your cache by going to configuration->Performance->Clear All Cache. Then referesh the page. Now your homepage is using page-front.tpl.php as it's template file. Every page will need its own template file. The page machine name comes after the hyphen so the user page template uses page-user.tpl.php. You can edit it as you want. The proper way to really do this is to use hook_theme() to pass variables to the template file. One variable could be the html which creates your custom header.

I wanted to create a new WordPress page that is actually a link to another site. The goal is to have the page show up in a list of my pages, but actually send the web user to the target URL.
For example, say I want to include a page that indicates "My Photos" but actually redirects them to Flickr.
I'm guessing one way to accomplish this is by using a custom template page with a redirect instruction in PHP, but unfortunately I am a newbie to PHP and am not familiar with the way to accomplish this...
You can accomplish this two ways, both of which need to be done through editing your template files.
The first one is just to add an html link to your navigation where ever you want it to show up.
The second (and my guess, the one you're looking for) is to create a new page template, which isn't too difficult if you have the ability to create a new .php file in your theme/template directory. Something like the below code should do:
<?php /*
Template Name: Page Redirect
*/
header('Location: http://www.nameofnewsite.com');
exit();
?>
Where the template name is whatever you want to set it too and the url in the header function is the new url you want to direct a user to. After you modify the above code to meet your needs, save it in a php file in your active theme folder to the template name. So, if you leave the name of your template "Page Redirect" name the php file page-redirect.php.
After that's been saved, log into your WordPress backend, and create a new page. You can add a title and content to the body if you'd like, but the important thing to note is that on the right hand side, there should be a drop down option for you to choose which page template to use, with default showing first. In that drop down list, there should be the name of the new template file to use. Select the new template, publish the page, and you should be golden.
Also, you can do this dynamically as well by using the Custom Fields section below the body editor. If you're interested, let me know and I can paste the code for that guy in a new response.
I've found that these problems are often best solved at the server layer. Do you have access to an .htaccess file where you could place a redirect rule? If so:
RedirectPermanent /path/to/page http://uri.com
This redirect will also serve a "301 Moved Permanently" response to indicate that the Flickr page (for example) is the permanent URI for the old page.
If this is not possible, you can create a custom page template for each page in question, and add the following PHP code to the top of the page template (actually, this is all you need in the template:
header('Location: http://uri.com, true, 301');
More information about PHP headers.
Alternately, use a filter.
Create an empty page in your WordPress blog, named appropriately to what you need it to be. Take note of the post_id. Then create a filter that alters its permalink.
add_filter('get_the_permalink','my_permalink_redirect');
function my_permalink_redirect($permalink) {
global $post;
if ($post->ID == your_post_id_here) {
$permalink = 'http://new-url.com/pagename';
}
return $permalink;
}
This way the url will show up correctly in the page no funny redirects are required.
If you need to do this a lot, then think about using the custom postmeta fields to define a postmeta value for "offsite_url" or something like that, then you can create pages as needed, enter the "offsite_url" value and then use a filter like the one above to instead of checking the post_id you check to see if it has the postmeta required and alter the permalink as needed.
I'm not familiar with Wordpress templates, but I'm assuming that headers are sent to the browser by WP before your template is even loaded. Because of that, the common redirection method of:
header("Location: new_url");
won't work. Unless there's a way to force sending headers through a template before WP does anything, you'll need to use some Javascript like so:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.location = "new_url";
</script>
Put that in the section and it'll be run when the page loads. This method won't be instant, and it also won't work for people with Javascript disabled.
Use the "raw" plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/raw-html/
Then it's as simple as:
[raw]
<script>
window.location = "http://www.site.com/new_location";
</script>
[/raw]
There are 3 ways of doing this:
By changing your 404.php code.
By using wordpress plugins.
By editing your .htaccess file.

I found a plugin that helped me do this within seconds without editing code:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/
I found it here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-link-title-external-url/
There is a much simpler way in wordpress to create a redirection by using wordpress plugins. So here i found a better way through the plugin Redirection and also you can find other as well on this site Create Url redirect in wordpress through Plugin
(This is for posts, not pages - the principle is same. The permalink hook is different by exact use case)
I just had the same issue and created a more convenient way to do that - where you don't have to re-edit your functions.php all the time, or fiddle around with your server settings on each addition (I do not like both).
TLTR
You can add a filter on the actual WP permalink function you need (for me it was post_link, because I needed that page alias in an archive/category list), and dynamically read the referenced ID from the alias post itself.
This is ok, because the post is an alias, so you won't need the content anyways.
First step is to open the alias post and put the ID of the referenced post as content
(and nothing else):
Next, open your functions.php and add:
function prefix_filter_post_permalink($url, $post) {
// if the content of the post to get the permalink for is just a number...
if (is_numeric($post->post_content)) {
// instead, return the permalink for the post that has this ID
return get_the_permalink((int)$post->post_content);
}
return $url;
}
add_filter('post_link', 'prefix_filter_post_permalink', 10, 2 );
That's it
Now, each time you need to create an alias post, just put the ID of the referenced post as the content, and you're done.
This will just change the permalink. Title, excerpt and so on will be shown as-is, which is usually desired. More tweaking to your needs is on you, also, the "is it a number" part in the PHP code is far from ideal, but like this for making the point readable.
