Hi there

I have just carried out a lengthy upgrade process from 1.9.2 to 1.11.7 and gone through clearing up all the issues. The main one was {stylesheet} to {cms_stylesheet}!

However, I have an issue with a UDT I have set up called child_content_overview that displays the name and start of the content for all child pages of the current page, in a list.

When I try to edit a template that has this UDT in, it causes errors when saving. It looks like exactly the same issue as the stylesheet issue but if I correct the stylesheet reference and remove the {child_content_overview} then the template saves fine.

The UDT itself seems to be working fine and I can edit that no problem so can anyone see a reason why the UDT reference would mean the template wouldn't save?

In case it helps, the UDT code is:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;

$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$thisPage = $gCms->variables['page_name'];
$currentNode = &$manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($thisPage);

$nodes = $currentNode->getChildren();

if ($currentNode->hasChildren()) {
	foreach ($nodes as $node) {
		$content= $node->getContent();
		if ($content->Active()){
		
			$page_alias = $content->Alias();
			$cgsimple = $smarty->get_template_vars('cgsimple');
			$Sum = $cgsimple->get_page_content($page_alias, 'extra1');
			
			$url = $content->GetURL();
			if ($url == "#") { /* section header has no link by default */
				$url = "index.php?page=".$content->Alias();
			}
			
			echo "<h3><a href=\"".$url."\"  title=\"".$content->TitleAttribute()."\">".$content->MenuText()."</a></h3>\n";
			echo "<p>".$Sum." <a href=\"".$url."\"  title=\"".$content->TitleAttribute()."\">[read more...]</a></p>\n";
			
		}
	}
}

One of the templates it's used in is:

Code: Select all

{process_pagedata}
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

{cms_selflink dir="prev" rellink=1}

{cms_stylesheet}

</head>
</__body>

				<div id="phonenumber"><span></span>For appointments or enquiries call 01285 658796</div>
			</div>
			{menu template='CCC Top Menu'}
			<div id="content">
				<div id="sidenavcol" class="columnleft">
					<h4><span></span>In this section</h4>
					{menu template="CCC Side Menu" start_element=$friendly_position|truncate:1:""}
				</div>				
				<div id="pagecopy" class="columnleft">
					<h2>{title}</h2>
					{content}

					{child_content_overview}
				</div>
				
				<div id="fourboxcol" class="columnleft zeromargins">
{global_content name="FourBoxOut"}
				</div>
				<hr />
			</div>
			<div id="footer">
				{global_content name="Footer"}
			</div>
		</div>
	<__body>
</__html>

I'm tearing my hair out because I've been looking through the documentation and I can't see anything wrong.

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!

To see the UDT in action, take a look at http://cirencesterchiropractic.co.uk/nutrition.html

Your UDT isnt doing enough error checking and is relying on smarty variables from third party modules that may or may not exist.

Why not just use menumanager.

Read the what we broke here as there may be calls in your UDT that no longer work is they are and need to be changed...

Thanks for your help guys.

CalGuy - I have now switched to MenuManager. I'm pretty sure that I tried that route when I first set the site up 5 years ago but at that time I couldn't use MenuManager to display the text stored in Extra1. When I went into MenuManager this time I actually had a menu I had started to set up all that time ago that almost did what I wanted so I can only assume that I abandoned it when it didn't work!

DrCSS - I read through that. Having made the only change I could see was needed it still didn't work!

Sure. I created a new menu in Menu Manager called CCC Child Overview:

Code: Select all

{if $count > 0}
  {foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
    {if $node->current != true}
      <h3><a href="{$node->url}">{$node->menutext}</a></h3>
      <p>{$node->extra1} <a href="{$node->url}">[Read more...]</a></p>
    {/if}
  {/foreach}
{/if}

I then called it in my template like this:

Code: Select all

{menu template="CCC Child Overview" start_element=$friendly_position number_of_levels="2"}

It's pretty simple and I'm sure it could be a bit cleaner but it works.
