I use this UDT to pull content from other pages. It has stopped working completely in 2.x.x. Any pointers ?
Code: Select all
$alias = isset($params['alias']) ? $params['alias'] : '';
$box = isset($params['box']) ? $params['box'] : '';
global $gCms;
$cgsimple = $smarty->get_template_vars('cgsimple');
$page_content = $cgsimple->get_page_content( $alias , $box);
echo $page_content;
I use it like this :-
Code: Select all
{Gallery dir={pull_content alias=$child.alias box='Gallery'}
or this:-
Code: Select all
{{pull_content alias=$child.alias}|cms_html_entity_decode|trim|strip_tags|summarize:10}

The CGSimpleSmarty library changed for 2.x thus breaking it. That change is well documented.
But there is no need for that UDT any more.
see the 'page_attr' plugin distributed with 2.x
you can retrieve all of that information without using CGSimple.

Ah, but I need to use it in this contex:-
Code: Select all
{cgsimple::get_children('',0,'children')}
{if count($children)}
{foreach from=$children item='child'}
{if $child.show_in_menu}
{Gallery dir={pull_content alias=$child.alias box='Gallery'}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}
The
page_attr tag has a key that can be used for the block name
key [required] The key to return the attribute of.
The key can either be a block name, or from a set of standard properties associated with a content page.
But I don't understand how to access content from another page, other than the current one ?
Code: Select all
{Gallery dir={page_attr key='Gallery' }
Where would the
bit go ?

Looks like something you can do from within a Menu template (Navigator)

From the help:
- (optional) page (int|string) - An optional page id or alias to fetch the content from. If not specified, the current page is assumed.
- key [required] The key to return the attribute of.
