Looking for a Symphony extension developer

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:21:00 +1000

By liamegan

Hi All,

I'm currently looking for an extension developer to help out with the development of a reasonably specific extension. It makes use of an existing API and will be used to batch aggregate data into a symphony section for further use and display.

Full API documentation and functional description will be available on enquiry.

params on top of page

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:31:00 +1000

By Manaus

Hello, why do I get a lot of params on top of page, while my code is just like this?

<xsl:template match="/data/homepage-articles">
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello world</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </body>
</html>

xpath misbehaviour?

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:13:00 +1000

By Manaus

Hello, I'm following the tutorial on xslt on tizag. But I can't match any "element" in the xml file just by tiping element in the symphony debug window. I need to enter *//element**

Correction: I can match "homepage-articles" with homepage-articles, but not "homepage-articles/entry" with entry.

How come? Thanks!

Some weird errors

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:47:00 +1000

By davjand

A client has been 'trying to backup a database' and has caused some weird errors in symphony that I'm a bit confused about.

The site is vulcanseals.com, does anyone have any idea what might have happened?

Many Thanks David

A pop-up (overlay) window to submit event data

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +1000

By Trastabuga

I think you guys have your own ways to provide a user interface to fill in the section entries. Is there a built-in GUI widget (or a preferrable one for Symphony) that would do following: When I am at some page of my site that is based on a data source, I can click an "Add entry" link which would pop up a modal window with a form that connects with the event. When "submit" is clicked on that window, it updates the page underneath without closing. I just guess that jQuery would do, any recommendation which widget/plugin is to be used here?

Thank you,

Page handle as a filtering parameter for a data source

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:31:00 +1000

By Trastabuga

Do we have a special parameter which tells a data source to which page it's linked? I need to use the page handle in a data source for filtering. We have /data/params/current-page so I guess {$current-page} could be used as a filtering parameter?

Thank you,

Constant Contact

Has anyone created a Constant Contact extension then I'm unaware about?

Splitting a textarea over 2 columns using XSLT

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:54:00 +1000

By moonoo2

I've inherited a design from someone and have just noticed that some of the articles have a 2 column layout where the actual body copy of the entry is presented over 2 columns(magazine style).

Is there a means to achieve a split of the content so it presents itself over 2 columns?

Author Profile Implementation

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:39:00 +1000

By tristian

The site I'm working on includes a profile Section for each of the Symphony Authors. Each article thats created is linked to a Symphony Author (rather than the profile Section) - I wanted to take advantage of "Select current user by default".

Just like other site with multiple authors I'd like the name that accompanies the article to link to the author's profile.

Is there any danger in exposing the ID of the author (Symphony CMS Author) to the outside world?

requirejs

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:00:00 +1000

By iwyg

A new extension, "requirejs" is now available for download. Comments and feedback can be left here but if you discover any issues, please post it on the issue tracker.

firefox 10.0 backend save issue

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:20:00 +1000

By ChriZ

I've just switched from chrome back to firefox using the latest aurora v12 and firefox v10

What kind of bugs me is that I can't save entries on symphony with this browser, I have no clue why this is. It works with no problems on Chrome and Safari.

The error I get on Firefox is the following: Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

I've reset cookies and everything, also updated to the latest stable version - with no luck.

The Headers sent seem to look fine too:

Any ideas? Does your symphony work with the latest Firefox version?

Thank you!

internal server error on image upload after php upgrade

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:43:00 +1000

By ChriZ

Hello everyone I just upgraded php to 5.3.10 and now when uploading certain image files I receive an internal server error.

Any clues? I checked php.ini max_upload etc. that doesn't seem to be the problem.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks

Eurovision Participant - Using Symphony-built site.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:25:00 +1000

By gunglien

This is just something small - to show the appreciation to this forum & all Symphony Contributors.

The site of Kurt Calleja, a Maltese singer who is going to represent Malta in the Eurovision Song contest, has been developed in Symphony. It will be going through a minor upgrade in the coming weeks, so its more worthy of the title. And once updates are done will probably be submitted for the showcase.

Hopefully helps raise the profile of Symphony - which has made the site so easy to develop and maintain. :)

Can this be done with using only DS

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:04:00 +1000

By roelof

I have this xslt:

        </xsl:if>
</div>
</xsl:if>


</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

But now I wonder if I can achieve the same with only the use of DS.

total_articles is the number of articles of a month.
articles_per_page are the number of articles on a page.
number_pages are the total number of pages of a month.
offset is the first article of a page.
end is the last articles of a page.

With these parameter I can achieve that I can decide how many articles there are on a page.

Calculating sum of basket items

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:11:00 +1000

By stuartgpalmer

I'm building a shopping cart which is too simple to warrant using the shopping cart extension. I want to calculate the order total from the sum of the basket items:

The basket looks like this:

<xsl:for-each select="basket-items/entry">
    <xsl:variable name="line-cost}">
        <xsl:value-of select="quantity * (/data/products/entry[./@id=current()/product-id]/price)" />
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:value-of select="format-number($line-cost,'£###.00')"/>
</xsl:for-each>

I need to work out the cumulative value of the line costs. Can anyone suggest how I'd do this please.

Using standard php classes with Symphony

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:21:00 +1000

By iwyg

~~Me again.~~

~~I've written a custom class that extends DirectoryIterator, but symphony won't let me use it:~~

Symphony Fatal Error:

    DirectoryIterator::__construct(/workspace/uploads): failed to open dir: No such file or directory.

~~Of course ’Class DirectoryIterator’ is not located in the directory of my custom class. So, is there any way around?~~

Thanks in advance, Thomas

Sorry, my fault. Been working to long. '/workspace/uploads' is indeed no directory at all…

Trying to load a sample extension and get error

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:51:00 +1000

By Trastabuga

I was following "How to Register and Use Custom PHP Functions Inside XSL" example and created my own extension under my-site/extensions/registerphpfunctions/extension.driver.php. Now when I refresh the extensions page under my site it prints an error:

class extensionregisterphpfunctions extends Extension { public function about() { return array( 'name' => 'Register PHP Functions', 'version' => '0.1', 'release-date' => '2010-10-08', 'author' => array( 'name' => '', 'website' => '', 'email' => '' ) ); } public function getSubscribedDelegates(){ return array( array( 'page' => '/frontend/', 'delegate' => 'FrontendOutputPreGenerate', 'callback' => 'registerFunctions' ) ); } public function registerFunctions($context){ $context['page']->registerPHPFunction('helloworld'); } } // Functions to be called by XSL page templates: function helloworld($path){ return "Hello World!"; } Fatal error: Class 'extensionregisterphpfunctions' not found in /home/user/Dev/site.com/symphony/lib/toolkit/class.extensionmanager.php on line 629

The line 629 is "self::$_pool[$name] = new $classname($param);". I printed out the element, looks like it's instantiated. What's missing in this case?

No support for the Shopping Cart extension?

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:28:00 +1000

By ovidiust

I was wondering if anyone offers any support any more for the Shopping Car. The discussion thread for this extension seems to have been quite for a while now.

using RegExp on "Settings" Page

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:04:00 +1000

By iwyg

For my extension I'm trying to a add validationfield on the settings page that holds a regular expression. All in all it works but escaped characters get stripped out (I think it's because of Symphony::Configuration() get and set.). I know it is possible on a regular validation field. Is there a possible workaround?

Greetings, Thomas
