Clean URLs and alias / Showing news / Printing news

[amygdela]

Hello,

I use Clean URL's on my website, and I found out something that's a bit annoying. When I add a new page I give it a title, a name for the menu, some contents and save it. Right after saving, you can add an alias for in your URLs, not before you save. So CMSMS can see you're using clean URLs only after saving the page. can that be before I save the page, so i won't have to go back?

It's pittyful that's nagging again, because I don't like CAPS in the Aliasses of the URLs, but I do like a Cap for the text in the menu... 

I hope you get what I mean..!


My second thing is: I wanna show the titles of the newsmessages in my breadcrumbs. So I made a new template and added this to it:

Code: Select all

<h2>{breadcrumbs delimiter='»' initial='0'} » {$entry->title}</h2>

But smarty won't recognize the title outside of the message. For an online example:

http://www.heilemafiscaal.nl/web/index. ... eturnid=30

Look at the breadcrumb. It says HOMEPAGE >> {I want the title here}
Can that be done? Thanks for any help.



The third thing I got...

when printing a newsmessage, it shows the self_links as actual code:
http://www.heilemafiscaal.nl/web/index. ... eturnid=30
Can that be changed?

This forum software has a great search function, typing in 'auto alias' in the search field gave me a lot of results. Your answer is in this topic:

But I am sure when using the search function you will be able to find more detailed solutions.

Like the link that petert provided says, you can set this in config.php.

Find

Code: Select all

$config['auto_alias_content'] = true;

and set it to true.

But I agree that this should be brought back to the admin, under the Options tab. Especially since all pages that include non-English characters will get a messed up page alias too. There will be a fix for this in future releases, but for current releases we have to fix this manually.

My second thing is: I wanna show the titles of the newsmessages in my breadcrumbs. So I made a new template and added this to it:

Code: Select all

<h2>{breadcrumbs delimiter='»' initial='0'} » {$entry->title}</h2>

But smarty won't recognize the title outside of the message.

I think you can try the thing that makes tags to work in news templates:

Try replacing {$entry->title} with {eval var=$entry->title}


The print thing I'm not sure about how to fix.

The solution for the newstitle gives me an error:


Warning:  Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter in /home/heilem61/public_html/web/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

I guessed I miss something?

[petert]

Warning:  Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter in /home/heilem61/public_html/web/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

Did you put:
{eval var=$entry->title} in the template?
Post your template here please.

[amygdela]

No need for a full template I guess?

Code: Select all

<span id="core_header_h2">
<h2>{breadcrumbs delimiter='»' initial='0'} » {eval var=$entry->title}</h2>
		</span>

EDIT..

Do you mean I have to place that tag WITHIN the news template? I mean the news summary template? Cause now I've just placed that in a template I've created...

Here's that template, for the record:

Code: Select all

<span id="core_header_h2">
<h2>{breadcrumbs delimiter='»' initial='0'} » {eval var=$entry->title}</h2>
		</span>

Works for me. It works in the detail and in the summary template.
Strange....

[amygdela]

see my edit. Does that tag only works in the newstemplate itself?

yup,  {eval var=$entry->title}
the entry part is what you get from the foreach statement.
There is no entry part on the other pages (standard that is)

[amygdela]

ok thnx, but that doesn't work for my setup, cause the breadcrumbs are not in the newstemplate.....

hi,
I've got the same problem when clean urls are on news module shows an error

Code: Select all

string(43) "Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter"

the first idea ant quickest way to bypass this error is to create .htaccess file

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php/news/(.*)/(.*) index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=$1&cntnt01returnid=$2
