Actually I work on cakephp3 project.
I want to change the style of the website and put an existing template.
I found a tutorial on how to do that, but I think it was for cakephp2, because I didn't find any file called Dafault.ctp in View folder.
And I tried to put the html code of my template in the home.ctp, but I saw the top-bar navigation which contains Documentation API ...
So where is the Default Layout in cakephp3?
cakephp3 Layouts are in src/Template/Layout/. your view file always use default.ctp file, but you can use other layouts.
// From a controller
public function admin_view()
{
// Set the layout.
$this->viewBuilder()->layout('admin');
// Before 3.1
$this->layout = 'admin';
}
// From a view file
$this->layout = 'loggedin';
a better definition in cakephp3 doc here.
Hi I solved my problem..
I found the Default.ctp
He is in Template->Layout->Default.ctp
contrary to cakephp2 View->Layouts-Default.ctp

I have an ASP.NET Core 2.0 application and I'm trying to set the layout page a view should use outside of the view. That way I won't have to keep repeating the same code at the top for all of my views.
I can achieve this by inheriting all of my views from the following base class which sets it within the constructor:
public class RazorPage<TModel> : Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RazorPage<TModel> {
public RazorPage() {
var theme = "Theme1;"
Layout = $"~/Areas/{theme}/Views/Shared/_Layout" + RazorViewEngine.ViewExtension;
}
}
This works fine however the name of theme changes based on the current URL. I figured I could do this by accessing the current context, however if I call the Context property within the constructor it returns null.
There doesn't appear an appropriate method to override where I could set the Layout property and have access to the current request context.
Does anyone know an alternative way of doing?
Please note that I am aware I could achieve this with _ViewImports/_ViewStart files but due to the structure of my application it would require me to have duplicate files and also I don't like having business logic within my views.
I used an IViewLocationExpander (as suggested by #valery.sntx) to specify where to look for my theme's shared views which changes based on the current URL.
I then auto generated a _ViewStart file using an IFileProvider and simply set it's content to:
#{
Layout = "_Layout";
}
The second part is optional but it saved me from having to create multiple _ViewStart files due to the way my application is designed.
I was wondering how do you add link tag/google font to head in yii2.
I want to add the following
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,600,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
I have found this documentation but doesn't mention anything about link/adding google font etc
The correct answer is to create a new AssetBundle.
While you can directly place the HTML for the fonts into the of your main.php file, this isn't the Yii way. If you have tried to load jQuery files this way, you might notice odd behavior when directly putting them into the HTML.
For example: Directly place the HTML tag for Bootstrap CDN into the head of your main.php. Then, somewhere in your code try to use the tooltip. You will get an error in your console that tooltip is not a function. - This is because the way Yii puts all your template files together, and at that time, Bootstrap is not available.
While simply loading a font probably won't cause any problems, it is a good idea to do things the way they were intended. Following MVC rules, properly documenting your code, and following the Yii best practices, will go a long way. Not only will you thank yourself a year later when you have to go back into a project, but the next guy will appreciate it. I can't stand going into systems, and seeing stuff thrown everywhere, chincy hacks, and spaghetti code, and no documentation or comments.
Correct Way:
Create a new AssetBundle. In your assets folder, you probably already have AppAsset.php. Duplicate it, and name it FontAsset.php.
Here is an example from my project, using 3 Google fonts.
FontAsset.php
<?php
namespace app\assets;
use yii\web\AssetBundle;
class FontAsset extends AssetBundle
{
public $basePath = '#webroot';
public $baseUrl = '#web';
public $css = [
'//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700',
'//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:400,700',
'//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,700'
];
public $cssOptions = [
'type' => 'text/css',
];
}
In your layout, main.php for example. Right under where you see AppAsset::register($this)
main.php
use app\assets\FontAsset;
FontAsset::register($this);
For every layout file that you want to load those fonts, include the FontAsset.
The AssetBundle is basically a bundle of CSS and/or JS files and options. You could add another one for say JWPlayer say named VideoAsset, and add your JS/CSS files for JWPlayer in it.
Point being, you shouldn't be adding these things directly into the HTML of the layouts directly, as it can cause problems. Let the AssetManager handle them by declaring AssetBundles.
It might save you later down the road!
The best way is to create an asset bundle and add the link to the bundle.
You can find a complete guide here:
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-assets.html
You can put it directly in the head of the layout (file views/layouts/main.php)
I'm creating a site using Magnolia - CMS. Now I am implementing a blog page. On each blog page, there are several share buttons. Now I'm busy implementing the twittershare button. Here I am going to use the twitter cards. For that, I need to provide the URL of an image in a metatag. Main problem: I retreive my image like this: ${damfn.getAssetLink(content.blogImage)}. This only returns a relative path to my resource. Is there a quick way (in freemarker), that will convert tis to an absolute link?
Many thanks in advance!
usually you define magnolia.default.base.url in the magnolia.properties.
then you can retrieve it with Components.getComponent(ServerConfiguration.class).getDefaultBaseUrl()
now you have to install the service into freemarker. you can do that by adding installer-tasks into the renderers on startup. you do that in your module-version-handler. there you overwrite the getStartupTasks(...), something like this:
#Override
protected List<Task> getStartupTasks(InstallContext installContext) {
final List<Task> tasks = new ArrayList<>();
tasks.add(new InstallRendererContextAttributeTask("rendering", "freemarker", "serverConf", ServerConfiguration.class.getName()));
tasks.add(new InstallRendererContextAttributeTask("site", "site", "serverConf", ServerConfiguration.class.getName()));
return tasks;
}
now you can call in freemarker:
"${serverConf.defaultBaseUrl}/${ctx.contextPath}/${damfn.getAssetLink(content.blogImage)}"
checkout if the slashes are necesarry and make sure that defaultBaseUrl is set properly in your magnolia configuration ("/server/...")
edit: there should be an easier by calling the current request in freemarker ${Request} so it could be something like "${Request.domain}/${ctx.contextPath}/${damfn.getAssetLink(content.blogImage)}" without injecting the serverConfiguration into the renderer
I have two cshtml-files in the same subfolder of Views. One of the templates is meant to include the other template. I tried to accomplish that as follows:
Main template:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Pdfs/Header");
</body>
</html>
The error I get is
Unable to compile template. The name 'Html' does not exist in current context.
What am I supposed to do additionally?
As commented by Erik there is no Html in RazorEngine (see the linked answer), however you can use #Include("mytemplate") instead.
If you want to be compatible with the #Html.Partial() syntax for some reason you can extend the RazorEngine syntax like this.
Basically what you want to do is provide your own class inheriting from TemplateBase<T> (or ITemplate to be exact) and then set it either via configuration or the #Inherit MyBaseClass<MyModel> syntax. In this case you could just call the Include method from your Partial method within the Html helper class.
Been annoyed by this for a long time. Wrote all the infrastructure classes to just get this working like you'd expect in MVC, without all the MVC burden:
var razor = RazorHelper.O;
var html = razor.RenderFromMvc(#"Views\RazorEngine\TestEmail.cshtml", vm);

I want to wrap a mediawiki site inside another site - using the header.inc and footer.inc files that the rest of the website's html files use.
I'm not familiar with php, is there a 'masterpage' file somewhere I can put them in?
Your best bet would be to create a custom skin, or edit one of the default skins, such as monobook. They control most of the basic presentation code. Here is one short tutorial on creating a custom skin. The files usually live in the /skins/ folder; if you skim through one, you can find where the HTML begins and ends.
You can include another file using the PHP include function, like so:
<html>
...
<body>
<?php
include 'header.inc';
?>
...
For future reference in the LocalSettings.php you can also prevent users from using any other skin.
$wgDefaultSkin = 'myskin';
$wgAllowUserSkin = false;
$wgSkipSkins = array( "chick", "cologneblue", "monobook", "modern", "myskin", "nostalgia", "simple", "standard" );
