I'm using the pages that comes with the default instalation of magento on my web store. The customer want's to have diferent contents on right column of that pages.
For instance, on "customer-service" page wants to have the top FAQ's but on "contacts" want to have the telephone and mail information.
How can I achive that? I been trying to change the 2columns-right layout, on the right column, to each page but I was unable to find a way to do that.
Thanks in advanced.
In 'CMS > Pages' from the Magento back office, go into the 'Design' tab in each page you want to change and set the 'Layout' to '2 columns with rightbar'.
Then, you can use the right.permanent.callout block to call in what content you wish on various pages/page types as wanted.
For example, displaying an image in the right sidebar on contact page only:-
<contacts_index_index>
<reference name="right">
<block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>
<block type="core/template" name="right.permanent.callout" template="callouts/right_col.phtml">
<action method="setImgSrc"><src>images/media/col_right_callout.jpg</src></action>
<action method="setImgAlt" translate="alt" module="catalog"><alt>Keep your eyes open for our special Back to School items and save A LOT!</alt></action>
</block>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
You can modify to change the page, page type, or template/block as you wish.

I'd like to make a table of content for this web page I am making (the project is still offline for the time being).
Now I already know most of what I have to do (text boxes, lists, the CSS, etc) however I don't want the links going to new pages but rather it send the user to certain parts of the page like in a wiki.
Any idea on how one would code something like that?
Like this:
Jump to a section
Then in the location to jump to:
<a name="jump"></a>
You can use anchor link (or bookmarks)
The code will be:
<a href="#my-div>Link to 'my div'</a>
<div id="my-div"></div>
That link will scroll the page until the element with the corresponding ID
i was trying to display a web page within a page in primefaces. There exists a menu, and when the user clicks on a particular menu item i want the content to be displayed within the same page ie within the body of the main page. How can i achieve that?
Earlier i was opening the page in a new tab , il post the sample code here:
<p:submenu label="Tools">
<p:menuitem
onclick="window.open('https://newpage/login.do')"
value="New page"></p:menuitem>
You could use ui:include (xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets") to include arbitrary pages which are even dynamically calculable:
<ui:include src="#{bean.page}"/>
Hi sorry if this a daft question (newbie), I am currently using mediawiki-1.23.1 and have been looking for a way in which to create it easy for an end user to create a page. However I would love to be able to have a link auto-created/auto populate on the current page. I currently use the InputBox extension. But it doesn't seem to allow this additional function from my research. Is this a possibility through extensions, or will this have to be done via a custom php template?
current InputBox details.
<inputbox>
type=create
width=24
break=no
buttonlabel=Create new page
</inputbox>
Any help or direction would be really appreciated.
It is impossible to create a link from page A to page B automatically if you don't "mark" something on page B. And the simplest thing you can mark is "[[Category:...]]", like Bergi said. I will use preloaded text to make it easier.
What you need
If you want page in main namespace to be the page where end users type in InputBox, you need any extension that will show content of category page such as Extension:CategoryTree, or Extension:Dynamic Page List (see also Transclude a category in MediaWiki).
Steps
On page [[Template:PreloadedText]]
Put the following content
<!-- Do not edit under this line -->
<includeonly>[[Category:CreatedFromPageA]]</includeonly>
On page [[A]]
Put the following content
<!-- Show all pages in [[Category:CreatedFromPageA]] -->
<!-- Assuming you use Extension:CategoryTree -->
<categorytree hideroot="true" namespaces="-">CreatedFromPageA</categorytree>
<!-- InputBox -->
<inputbox>
type=create
width=24
break=no
buttonlabel=Create new page
preload=Template:PreloadedText
</inputbox>
For end users
On page [[A]], they will see every page that was created via the InputBox at the top. At the bottom, they will see the InputBox. After typing pagename and clicking the button, they will be brought to the page they typed. There will be the following text existing already
<!-- Do not edit under this line -->
[[Category:CreatedFromPageA]]
As long as they don't bother with these lines, after they click save, the new page will appear on the list automatically.
I am creating a CMS page in magento as a teaser for an upcoming product. I am using two columns with a right bar and using the layout update XML in the backend to call some custom blocks I make for the right side.
Well right now I am loading just placeholders then going to edit the phtmls after the fact.
If I use two blocks on the right it looks fine.. but if I add more, then the whole footer corrupts and moves to the right column.
I am trying to get 3 custom blocks on the right side.
Here is my layout update XML
<reference name="right">
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="left.newsletter" template="newsletter/rightsubscribe.phtml"/>
<block type="core/template" name="name1" template="page/custom/custom1.phtml"/>
<block type="core/template" name="name2" template="page/custom/custom2.phtml"/>
</reference>
Here is the HTML of the customs blocks I am using.
<div id="shop-with-confidence" class="white-box">
<h3>Custom1</h3>
<div class="white-box-inner">
Testing1
</div>
<div id="shop-with-confidence" class="white-box">
<h3>Custom2</h3>
<div class="white-box-inner">
Testing2
</div>
Does anyone have any idea why that would be wrecking the page I am editing?
OP has already resolved the issue for himself, but it's worth noting that one can easily check parent-child block relationships to determine if an issue is framework- or markup- related.
To check the list of child blocks which a parent block has, one can simply do the following in a template:
Zend_Debug::dump($this->getChild()) //list of children
Zend_Debug::dump($this->getSortedChildren()) //list of ordered children
In the case of blocks lacking templates (core/text_list, e.g. "right"), one could do this from a child block template as well:
Zend_Debug::dump($this->getParentBlock()->getChild()) //list of children
Zend_Debug::dump($this->getParentBlock()->getSortedChildren()) //list of ordered children
Ref Mage_Core_Block_Abstract for more information.
I have browsed through many articles, but none of them mention how I can go about redesigning the toplinks at the top of any Magento store.
Does anyone know how I can modify the default links which are found in the top right of my Magento store and assign an icon to each link and also spread the links across the full width of the top area.
It may include something like the below (example only).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
My website is: www.efficienttrade.co.nz if that helps.
Thanks,

Find the top.links in layout xml files and add a class. Then, you can customize this class via css.
For instance,
<!-- this piece of code available in rss.xml, look at the class define -->
<reference name="footer_links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="rss" ifconfig="rss/config/active"><label>RSS</label><url>rss</url><title>RSS</title><prepare>true</prepare><urlParams/><position/><li/><a>class="link-rss"</a></action>
</reference>
Same as Ogüz answer + more information:
You have to be a little bit like Sherlock Holmes.
The top links are generated thanks to a block that you can find in the layout file page.xml of your theme. Then search the block name "topLinks" in the header block (in the default theme, it's the name) and you will find <block type="page/template_links" name="top.links" as="topLinks"/>. This block topLinks is generated thanks to the block class Mage_Page_Block_Template_Links. The important method in this block is public function addLink(...), it means that you will have to search into the xml layout the following element/tag <action method='addLink'>...</action>.
An example for the customer module, in the file customer.xml of the layout folder:
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>My Account</label><url helper="customer/getAccountUrl"/><title>My Account</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
</reference>
You should find more than one xml element which uses this kind of method.
Pay attention, the addLink method can also be called programmatically (into PHP code), not only in layout file.
Hope it helps
