I would like to load pagination module on different module than article. I have found that
components\com_content\views\article\tmpl\default.php contains this:
<?php
if (!empty($this->item->pagination) && $this->item->pagination && $this->item->paginationposition && !$this->item->paginationrelative):
echo $this->item->pagination;
?>
<?php endif; ?>
unfortunately if I put this code for example to my template index file it does not work. Aparently I have to add something more to this.
Could you advice me what other part of the code is needed?
Thank you!
It's a little complicated to wrap your mind around but if you look in the plugins/content folder you will see the pagenavigation plugin. This is the plugin that creates the pagination you see in articles.
THis plugin is triggered by
$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onContentBeforeDisplay', array('com_content.article', &$item, &$item->params, $offset));
which you can find in `\components\com_content\views\article (and also archive and the tag view of com_tags). I have no idea why it's not triggered in other components except at some point probably someone thought there wasn't a usecase for it.
To trigger the plugin in another component you would need to add that same event or a different event that basically does what the onContentBeforeDisplay method in the plugin does. If it is your own component I would do it in the same place content and tags do. If you need it in one of the core components you could probably do it by using another event.
Is there an easy way to change the WP default template hierarchy?
For instance;
Say I want to change my theme directory structure so that it completely changes from the Template Hierarchy suggested here based upon conditionals:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
if I wanted to make sure that for all page types (is_single() is_home() etc) it always opens one template file which then instigates my own pattern to provide the output?
Thanks very much!
I would do it like this:
Easy to read and works well
single.php:
<?php include_once('template-you-want.php');
home.php:
<?php include_once('template-you-want.php');
If you don't want to have these two files at all do it in index.php:
<?php
// at the very top
if (is_single()){
include_once('template-you-want.php');
die(); // don't continue
}
if (is_home()){
include_once('template-you-want.php');
die(); // don't continue
}
To start out: Not Wordpress! Just plain old PHP. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I've got a horizontal navigation bar at the top of my page with the links 'Home, About, Info, Contact'
Most of the pages also have a vertical navigation bar, the sidebar.
If I'm on the Home page, no sidebar needs to be shown.
If I'm on the About page there has to be a sidebar with various other subjects. The Contact page needs to show a sidebar with a Route Description and Contact Form link etc.
I was thinking about achieving this with $GLOBAL variables and put something like $GLOBAL['sidebar] = 'home' $GLOBAL['sidebar'] = 'contact' etc... on top of every page. In the PHP file that would render my sidebar I would use an if structure to see what sidebar needs to be rendered. But using global variables is something I've always been taught is wrong and shouldn't be used. After that, my mind drifted to $SESSION variables, but that would actually be exactly the same but with some extra concerns like session_start() etc.
I'm self-taught in PHP so I don't know what could be best used to solve this particular (and I presume very common) "issue". Any insights about this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The solution will depend a lot on how you've set up your code structure already, but in more general terms the way I usually do it is to:
Include the sidebar as part of your template included on every page.
Set up your sidebar along the lines of this:
<?php
if (sizeof($sidebarModules)>0) {
?>
<div id="sidebar">
<?php
if (in_array('contact',$sidebarModules)) {
// display contact form
}
if (in_array('route',$sidebarModules)) {
// display route description
}
if (in_array('login',$sidebarModules)) {
// display login
}
?>
<\div>
<?php
}
?>
Then at the top of each page make sure you define the array $sidebarModules. Something like:
<?php
$sidebarModules = array(
'contact',
'login',
'description'
);
?>
I'm not sure if this is the best solution, but it's worked well for me in the past.
Edit:
or do it more efficiently if you're templates are named in a standard convention, e.g.:
<?php
if (sizeof($sidebarModules)>0) {
?>
<div id="sidebar">
<?php
foreach ($sidebarModules as $module) { // loop round all modules
include($module.'_tpl.php'); // include module template
}
?>
<\div>
<?php
}
?>
I need to reference a particular functions.php file, that can be stored in the template directory of my Joomla template. WordPress seems to include this, but if I do something like:
Include the functions file
<?php require_once ( 'functions.php' ); ?>
In the functions.php:
<?php
function displaySomething() {
echo "Hello World";
}
?>
and then in the templates index.php:
<?php displaySomething(); ?>
The template breaks/is blank. For aguements sake, I just want to have a single referencable php case function.
Try this -
<?php require_once ($this->baseurl.'/templates/'.$this->template.'/functions.php'); ?>
However, chances are that you shouldn't do it this way. In general it's not a good idea to hard code anything in to your template because that removes the ability to select the pages that you want the code to be executed on and it removes the ability to easily edit what ever the code is doing.
You really should put your code in a module or plugin. Putting it in a module makes it easy to select the pages you want the code on, turn it on or off globally, or to change the output easily. Putting it in a plugin would make it easy to put it on pages based on one of the Joomla event triggers, and to turn it on or off globally.
For the amount of time it would take to turn it in to an extension, it is well worth it.
Try with (using the constant JPATH_BASE):
<?php
#Loading functions
require_once (
JPATH_BASE."/templates/{$this->template}/functions.php"
);
?>
I would like to display a Drupal view without the page template that normally surrounds it - I want just the plain HTML content of the view's nodes.
This view would be included in another, non-Drupal site.
I expect to have to do this with a number of views, so a solution that lets me set these up rapidly and easily would be the best - I'd prefer not to have to create a .tpl.php file every time I need to include a view somewhere.
I was looking for a way to pull node data via ajax and came up with the following solution for Drupal 6. After implementing the changes below, if you add ajax=1 in the URL (e.g. mysite.com/node/1?ajax=1), you'll get just the content and no page layout.
in the template.php file for your theme:
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if ( isset($_GET['ajax']) && $_GET['ajax'] == 1 ) {
$vars['template_file'] = 'page-ajax';
}
}
then create page-ajax.tpl.php in your theme directory with this content:
<?php print $content; ?>
Based on the answer of Ufonion Labs I was able to completely remove all the HTML output around the page content in Drupal 7 by implementing both hook_preprocess_page and hook_preprocess_html in my themes template.php, like this:
function MY_THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (isset($_GET['response_type']) && $_GET['response_type'] == 'embed') {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__embed';
}
}
function MY_THEME_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
if (isset($_GET['response_type']) && $_GET['response_type'] == 'embed') {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'html__embed';
}
}
Then I added two templates to my theme: html--embed.tpl.php:
<?php print $page; ?>
and page--embed.tpl.php:
<?php print render($page['content']); ?>
Now when I open a node page, such as http://example.com/node/3, I see the complete page as usual, but when I add the response_type parameter, such as http://example.com/node/3?response_type=embed, I only get the <div> with the page contents so it can be embedded in another page.
I know this question has already been answered, but I wanted to add my own solution which uses elements of Philadelphia Web Design's (PWD) answer and uses hook_theme_registry_alter, as suggested by Owen. Using this solution, you can load the template directly from a custom module.
First, I added raw.tpl.php to a newly created 'templates' folder inside my module. The contents of raw.tpl.php are identical to PWD's page-ajax.tpl.php:
<?php print $content; ?>
Next, I implemented hook_preprocess_page in my module in the same fashion as PWD (except that I modified the $_GET parameter and updated the template file reference:
function MY_MODULE_NAME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if ( isset($_GET['raw']) && $_GET['raw'] == 1 ) {
$vars['template_file'] = 'raw';
}
}
Finally, I implemented hook_theme_registry_alter to add my module's 'templates' directory to the theme registry (based on http://drupal.org/node/1105922#comment-4265700):
function MY_MODULE_NAME_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) {
$modulepath = drupal_get_path('module','MY_MODULE_NAME');
array_unshift($theme_registry['page']['theme paths'], $modulepath.'/templates');
}
Now, when I add ?raw=1 to the view's URL path, it will use the specified template inside my module.
For others who may hit this page, if you're just working with standard callbacks (not necessarily views), this is easy. In your callback function, instead of returning the code to render within the page, use the 'print' function.
For example:
function mymodule_do_ajax($node)
{
$rval = <<<RVAL
<table>
<th>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
</th>
<tr>
<td>Cool</td>
<td>Cool</td>
<td>Cool</td>
</tr>
</table>
RVAL;
//return $rval; Nope! Will render via the templating engine.
print $rval; //Much better. No wrapper.
}
Cheers!
Another way to do it which I find very handy is to add a menu item with a page callback function that doesn't return a string:
Example:
/**
* Implementation of hook_menu.
*/
function test_menu(){
$items['test'] = array (
/* [...] */
'page callback' => 'test_callback',
/* [...] */
);
return $items;
}
function test_callback() {
// echo or print whatever you want
// embed views if you want
// DO NOT RETURN A STRING
return TRUE;
}
-- Update
It would be much better to use exit(); instead of return TRUE; (see comment).
Hey, here's yet another way of doing it:
1) Download and install Views Bonus Pack (http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus)
2) Create a Views display "Feed" and use style "XML" (or something you think fits your needs better).
3) If you're not satisfied with the standard XML output, you can change it by adjusting the template for the view. Check the "theme" settings to get suggestions for alternative template names for this specific view (so you'll still have the default XML output left for future use).
Good luck!

Based on answer of Philadelphia Web Design (thanks) and some googling (http://drupal.org/node/957250) here is what worked for me in Drupal 7 to get chosen pages displayed without the template:
function pixture_reloaded_preprocess_page(&$vars)
{
if ( isset($_GET['vlozeno']) && $_GET['vlozeno'] == 1 ) {
$vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__vlozeno';
}
}
instead of phptemplate, in D7 there has to be the name_of_your_theme in the name of the function. Also, I had to put two underscores __ in the php variable with the file name, but the actual template file name needs two dashes --
content of page--vlozeno.tpl.php :
<?php print render($page['content']); ?>
The output, however, still has got a lot of wrapping and theme's CSS references. Not sure how to output totally unthemed data...
Assuming you're in Drupal 6, the easiest way to do this is to put a phptemplate_views_view_unformatted_VIEWNAME call in template.php (assumes your view is unformatted - if it's something else, a list say, use the appropriate theme function). Theme the view results in this theme call then, instead of returning the results as you normally would, print them and return NULL. This will output the HTML directly.
PS - make sure to clear your cache (at /admin/settings/performance) to see this work.
there are probably a number of ways around this, however, the "easiest" may be just setting your own custom theme, and having the page.tpl.php just be empty, or some random divs
// page.tpl.php
<div id="page"><?php print $content ?></div>
this method would basically just allow node.tpl.php to show (or any of drupal's form views, etc...) and would be an easy way to avoid modifying core, or having to alter the theme registry to avoid displaying page.tpl.php in the first place.
edit: see comments
ok i played around with views a bit, it looks like it takes over and constructs it's own "node.tpl.php" (in a sense) for display within "page.tpl.php". on first glance, my gut feeling would be to hook into theme_registry_alter().
when you're looking at a views page, you have access to piles of information here, as well as the page.tpl.php paths/files. as such i would do something like:
function modulejustforalteration_theme_registry_alter(&$variables) {
if (isset($variables['views_ui_list_views']) ) {
// not sure if that's the best index to test for "views" but i imagine it'll work
// as well as others
$variables['page']['template'] = 'override_page';
}
}
this should allow you to use a "override_page.tpl.php" template in your current theme in which you can remove anything you want (as my first answer above).
a few things:
as i said, not sure if views_ui_list_views is always available to check against, but it sounds like it should be set if we're looking at a view
you can alter the theme paths of the page array if you prefer (to change the location of where drupal will look for page.tpl.php, instead of renaming it altogether)
there doesn't appear to be any identifiers for this specific view, so this method might be an "all views will be stripped" approach. if you need to strip the page.tpl.php for a specific view only, perhaps hooking into template_preprocess_page() might be a better idea.
I like the Drupal module. BUt, here's another way.
copy page.tpl.php in your theme folder to a new file called page-VIEWNAME.tpl.php, where VIEWNAME is the machine-readible name of the view.
Then edit page-VIEWNAME.tpl.php to suit.
There is also http://drupal.org/project/pagearray which is a general solution...
Also, #Scott Evernden's solution is a cross site scripting (XSS) security hole. Don't do that. Read the documentation on drupal.org about how to Handle Text in a Secure Fashion http://drupal.org/node/28984
A simple way to display content of a special content-type you wish to display without all the stuff of the page.tpl.php:
Add the following snippet to your template.php file:
function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if ($vars['node'] && arg(2) != 'edit') {
$vars['template_files'][] = 'page-nodetype-'. $vars['node']->type;
}
}
Add a page-nodetype-examplecontenttype.tpl.php to your theme, like your page.tpl.php but without the stuff you don't want to display and with print $content in the body.
If I understand your question, you want to have nodes which contain all the HTML for a page, from DOCTYPE to </HTML>. What I would do is create a content type for those nodes -- "fullhtml" as its machine-readable name -- and then create a node template for it called node-fullhtml.tpl.php. You can't just dump the node's contents, as they've been HTML-sanitized. node.fullhtml.tpl.php would literally be just this:
echo htmlspecialchars_decode($content);
Then you'll need a way to override the standard page.tpl.php. I think what you could do is at the top of your page.tpl.php check the $node's content type, and bail out if it's fullhtml. Or, set a global variable in node-fullhtml.tpl.php that page.tpl.php would check for.
I'm no Drupal expert, but that's how I'd do it. I'm talking off the cuff, so watch for devils in the details.
I see you have already gone and made yourself a module, so this may no longer help, but it is fairly easy to get a view to expose an rss feed, which might be an easier way of getting at the content, especially if you want to include it on a different site.
On D7 you can use menu_execute_active_handler
$build = menu_execute_active_handler('user', FALSE);
return render($build);
jeroen's answer was what did for me after playing with it. I have a Drupal 7 site.
First of all make sure you replace MY_THEME with your theme name. Yes it is obvious but most newbies miss this.
I actually already had a function MY_THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {. Do not recreate the function then but add this code at the end of the function before you close it with }.
if (isset($_GET['response_type']) && $_GET['response_type'] == 'embed') {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__embed';
}
My function used $vars not $variables, so I had to update that as well. Again obvious if you think look for it.
My first answered allowed me to only display the node when I called it up in a web browser. However the ultimate goal of this is to embed the drupal node in an 3rd party site using iframe.
Since the release of Drupal Core 7.50 iframe is by default blocked to prevent Clickjacking
To get only the node to successfully embed in a 3rd party site you also need to override the x-frame default setting. Everything started working after I added the following in template.php
function MY_THEME_page_alter($page) {
if (isset($_GET['response_type']) && $_GET['response_type'] == 'embed') {
header_remove('X-Frame-Options');
}
}
