I my .info file I have this:
regions[footermenu] = Footer Menu
The region--footer.tp.php has this:
<?php
print render($page['footermenu']);
?>
I've placed a menu block in the "Footer Menu" (it shows up under structure->blocks). However, it's blank. If I place the block in region I know works the menu content is seen fine. Any idea why the region wouldn't see the block?
It may just be a typo in your question, but check that the template's file name ends with '.tpl.php'.
The code that triggers the rendering of your region, namely <?php print render ($page['footermenu']); ?>, goes in 'page.tpl.php', which in turn will render 'region.tpl.php' (or 'region--footermenu.tpl.php' in your specific case).
You will have to clear the theme's cache when you add a new template file. That can be done simply by visiting your theme's settings page.

I was trying create a left side menu bar. I used the following code in my layout file Templates/Layout/admin.ctp
// Create the sidebar block.
$this->start('sidebar');
echo $this->fetch('sidebar');
echo $this->element('sidebar/left_menu');
$this->end();
But the sidebar is not showing in the page. The Left menu sidebar file is located at Templates/Element/Sidebar/left_menu.ctp
Any help will be appreciated.
There are two things I can point out:
The default directory for templates is src/Template and not Templates
As you are starting the block, fetch('sidebar') will return empty. Try putting it after the end of the block
// Create the sidebar block
$this->start('sidebar');
echo $this->element('sidebar/left_menu');
$this->end();
// Display the sidebar
$this->fetch('sidebar');
I've made a menu component to create tabs which contains rendered results from another menu component.
The internal component is using Location/Site Areas (set by Query string) as a criteria and in the main component I use [Plugin:RequestAttribute(...)] to set the Site Area I want the content from in specific tab. In order to do so, I put the internal component inside [InContext(...)][/InContext] tags - in this case Result design code of the main component is:
title="[Property field="title"]">
[Plugin:RequestAttribute key="year" mode="set" value="[Property field='title']"]
[InContext context="autofill"]
[Component name="omantel_en/investors/financial snapshots/financial statement menu" startPage="" resultsPerPage=""]
[/InContext]
</div>
The header ends with <div class="tab selected", while separator is set as <div class="tab" which in the end construct a valid HTML structure (of that I'm sure).
Tabbing is held by javascript I put in the beggining of header and works fine.
Everything works fine while using Preview option - content is generated properly, I can even use Preview on site I actually want the component to be used on and this will give me desired result.
The problem occurs when I put the main menu component tag in published Article. Then it shows only tabs, without any content from the inner component. It looks as if the [Plugin:RequestAttribute(...)] tag that is used as substitute for Query string stops working.
I already tried to put the main menu component tag (in the actual Article) inside [InContext(...)][/InContext](with all of possible options) but it gave no good result. I'm kind of new in using IBM websphere~.
Any suggestions?
Actually it was a problem with Libraries - I simply put wanted content in single library and now it works fine.
I am trying to override the front page node, however after following the guide from the official site, it's not working.
Guide: https://www.drupal.org/node/1585528
I have taken node.tpl.php and renamed it to node--front.tpl.php and made changes to the layout, saved and cleared cache. The changes are not being displayed.
Now if I edit node.tpl.php directly it shows the changes, anyone know what I am doing wrong to override specific node templates?
EDIT:
I want to move the title below the image being displayed in the front page.
See below: Moving the title block under the content block, moves the title down as I want it to do, however how do I specify this for just the front page and not all nodes? (renaming node.tpl.php to node--front.tpl.php does not work as mentioned above)
In node.tpl.php: (title block)
<?php print render($title_prefix); ?>
<?php if (!$page): ?>
<h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>>
<?php print $title; ?>
</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php print render($title_suffix); ?>
(content block)
<div class="content clearfix"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>>
<?php
// We hide the comments and links now so that we can render them later.
hide($content['comments']);
hide($content['links']);
print render($content);
?>
To override the node template for particular node, you need to override the default node.tpl.php. For this copy the existing node.tpl.php file to node--{node_id}.tpl.php.
If you want to override the page template only for front page then you can create page--front.tpl.php file and copy the page.tpl.php file and then modify it as per your requirement.
Still you have issues, then use hook_preprocess_page() in template.php and use dpm() function to find the theme_suggestions that will give the sequence of execution of templates file.
you can use node-{nodeid}.tpl.php
It may help you.

I'm creating a custom theme (as a n00b). Basically, I display content on the main page as small div blocks.
my node.tpl.php looks something like this:
<div class="content-block">
default node.tpl.php stuff here
</div>
This works OK on the front page. However, when I click "Read More," to take me to the full article page, /node/[nodeId], obviously, it still shows as the little CSS content-block div.
I'd like to show the full article using a different CSS class. What's the best way to do this?
Yes, there are some best ways to accomplish that.
First of all I am not sure, whether you are using separate front page tpl or not. If not then please try to use page--front.tpl.php. Where you can provide your desired format to create the proper front page. Why this is needed, cause you won't need to modify the node.tpl.php file. So inside this front tpl file you can put your desired code.
<div class="content-block">
default node.tpl.php stuff here
</div>
Also you can use the Panel module to create a front page. So you won't be needed to modify the nope tpl file. Always try to avoid modifying tpl file. Panel module makes it easier.
Secondly, you should not touch the node.tpl.php file. Once you will modify the file, you won't be able to re-define as default. So keep that as it is and revert back it to the default file. Now if you send some article link, it won't break.
So this is it. If this helps you, then please like :)
Keep Drupalizing :)
I've just started using cakephp elements and they're awesome (I used to use include).
I have an element gallery and an element called comments (for a certain page) and for them I have some javascript code attached to both of them. Do you have any suggestions on how I could include that javascript code in the element? If I simply add it like that it will load javascript before loading the html after the element and I don't think it's very wise.
You could put the Javascript code directly into the element file, or put the Javascript code in into your webroot folder, <cake directory>/app/webroot/js/ and include the file in your layout by using the HTML helper:
echo $html->script("myCode");
If you're worried about the Javascript code executing before the page has completely loaded, then use window.onload or $(document).ready() if you're using JQuery.
If I understand you correctly, you want to have JS specific to a page loading in the header when you call a certain element, but that the JS could be different for each element. You also want the JS to be referenced at the beginning of your HTML document.
This is actually quite easy to do. Just make sure that you have <?php echo $scripts_for_layout; ?> in you <head> tag in the layout you are using.
Then, within the element, just do:
<?php $this->Html->script("js_file", array("inline"=>false)); ?>
js_file is the name of your JavaScript file in app/webroot/js/. In this case, the file would be called js_file.js but you must leave off the .js when referencing it as above.
It doesn't matter where abouts in the element file you put this because the "inline"=>false part ensures it won't actually appear at that stage in the code. Instead, it will appear in the <head> wherever you put <?php echo $scripts_for_layout; ?> in your layout.
In cakephp 3 instead of array('inline' => false) you should use array('block' => true) if anyone is looking for that answer like I was.
