I Use Orchard 1.10.1 CMS. I have created a widget module in code. In the ResourceManifest file I added this code
public void BuildManifests(ResourceManifestBuilder builder)
{
var manifest = builder.Add();
manifest.DefineStyle("ShareButtons").SetUrl("ShareButtons.css").SetDependencies("font-awesome.css");
}
and in template cshml I added this code
#{
Style.Require("ShareButtons");
}
Problem is in this case file font-awesome.css won't come in the page's source files.
what am I doing wrong here?
And when I use this code in template it works fine and font-awesome.css will come in the page's source files
#{
Style.Include("font-awesome.css");
Style.Include("ShareButtons.css");
}
ps: In the Style folder of my module project I have ShareButtons.css and font-awesome.css.
Your setup is wrong. You must either register a depency yourself (just like your ShareButton-Style), or in your case use the correct FontAwesome resource from Orchard.Resources.
So your code would look like this:
manifest.DefineStyle("ShareButtons")
.SetUrl("ShareButtons.css")
.SetDependencies("FontAwesome");
Here's the setup of FontAwesome you're requiring as dependency from Orchard.Resources:
namespace Orchard.Resources {
public class FontAwesome : IResourceManifestProvider {
public void BuildManifests(ResourceManifestBuilder builder) {
var manifest = builder.Add();
manifest.DefineStyle("FontAwesome").SetUrl("font-awesome.min.css", "font-awesome.css").SetVersion("4.4.0").SetCdn("//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css", "//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.css", true);
}
}
}

I have installed a particular module in my SilverStripe installation. The following is the directory structure
- Root
- framework
- cms
- mymodule
- code
- extensions
- CustomClass.php
Here is an example of CustomClass.php
class CustomClass extends Extension {
public function init() {
}
public function customMethod() {
}
}
I need to override the customMethod method of the CustomClass class. I could easily change this method, but changing here will cause trouble in the future if the modules get updated. All the changes made will be lost.
So for this I want to extend the extension class used in modules.
I have created an extension /mysite/extensions/MyCustomClass.php
class MyCustomClass extends Extension {
public function customMethod() {
//do my code here
}
}
but I have no idea how to apply this. I thought CustomClass::add_extension("MyCustomClass ") but surely this will not work because add_extension method doesn't exist in CustomClass.
How do we cope with this scenario? Can I use Injector instead? If yes, how can it be called in mysite/_config.php instead of _config.yml?
Using injector does solve the problem but have to use _config.yml as well. Here is what I did.
File /mysite/extensions/MyCustomClass.php
class MyCustomClass extends CustomClass {
public function customMethod() {
//do my code here
}
}
in /mysite/_config/config.yml I added following lines
Injector:
CustomClass:
class: MyCustomClass
And in /mysite/_config.php I added following line
$object = Injector::inst()->create('CustomClass');
And it all worked fine.
There is another way to achieve similar functionality without straight up replacing a previous extension. With SilverStripe's extension system, we can control not only what configuration settings are loaded but the order they are loaded. This is important to note because the customMethod function from an extension, it uses the first one it finds from all the extensions loaded.
Because of this, it can be only a matter of controlling when your MyCustomClass extension is loaded so you can have your own customMethod function run.
Let's say the "MyModule" module has the following YAML file defined:
---
Name: MyModuleExtensions
After:
- 'framework/*'
- 'cms/*'
---
Page:
extensions:
- CustomClass
All we need to do is specify a separate YAML file to run before this "MyModule" one. This can be accomplished like:
---
Name: MyCustomModule
Before:
- MyModule/#MyModuleExtensions
---
Page:
extensions:
- MyCustomClass
Now, when you call your customMethod function on whatever class you have your extensions on (so in my example, the Page class), it will call the one from your MyCustomClass extension.
I have CSS files in a folder and I am planning to minify them usign cassette
So far
I have created a class
public class CSSBundleHelper : IConfiguration<BundleCollection>
{
public void Configure(BundleCollection bundles)
{
var BundlePath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CSSBundleFolder"];
var path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CMSSitesPath"];
bundles.AddPerSubDirectory<StylesheetBundle>(path);
}
}
}
What should I pass for the bundle Collection?
List item
Since the CSS files are
in a folder , do I need to pass them using absolute path or a
relative path ?
Since the files are in a folder, i do not have an Idea how to call to this function and do the bundling . I will be happy if someone can guide me
If your css files are in one folder, just pass an application-relative path to bundles.Add(path-to-css-folder)
Then to use this bundle i.e. in Razor: add #Bundles.RenderStyleSheets()
I'm trying to use the new bundling feature in MVC 4 with Twitter bootstrap and it seems to me like the paths to the glyphicons png-files int the css get's messed up in some way. Heres my code:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/publiccss").Include(
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap-padding-top.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap-responsive.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/docs.css"));
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/publicjs").Include(
"~/Static/Js/jquery-1.7.2.js",
"~/Static/Js/bootstrap/bootstrap.js",
"~/Static/Js/cookie/jquery.cookie.js"));
I'm not seeing any icons on buttons and likewise. Am I doing something wrong here? Any suggestions?
The issue is most likely that the icons/images in the css files are using relative paths, so if your bundle doesn't live in the same app relative path as your unbundled css files, they become broken links.
We have rebasing urls in css on our todo list, but for now, the easist thing to do is to have your bundle path look like the css directory so the relative urls just work, i.e:
new StyleBundle("~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bundle")
Update: We have added support for this in the 1.1beta1 release, so to automatically rewrite the image urls, you can add a new ItemTransform which does this rebasing automatically.
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/publiccss").Include(
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap-padding-top.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/bootstrap-responsive.css",
"~/Static/Css/bootstrap/docs.css", new CssRewriteUrlTransform()));
The 'CssRewriteUrlTransform' works just fine for applications that DON'T run on top of a virtual directory.
So, if your app runs on http://your-site.com/ it runs just fine, but if it runs on http://your-site.com/your-app/ you'll have 404 for all your images because the default 'CssFixRewriteUrlTransform' is referencing your images with a '/'.
To solve this issue, I have implemented my own version of 'CssRewriteUrlTransform' like this:
public class CssFixRewriteUrlTransform : IItemTransform {
private static string ConvertUrlsToAbsolute(string baseUrl, string content) {
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(content)) {
return content;
}
var regex = new Regex("url\\(['\"]?(?<url>[^)]+?)['\"]?\\)");
return regex.Replace(content, match => string.Concat("url(", RebaseUrlToAbsolute(baseUrl, match.Groups["url"].Value), ")"));
}
public string Process(string includedVirtualPath, string input) {
if (includedVirtualPath == null) {
throw new ArgumentNullException("includedVirtualPath");
}
var directory = VirtualPathUtility.GetDirectory(includedVirtualPath);
return ConvertUrlsToAbsolute(directory, input);
}
private static string RebaseUrlToAbsolute(string baseUrl, string url) {
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(url) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(baseUrl) || url.StartsWith("/", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) {
return url;
}
if (!baseUrl.EndsWith("/", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) {
baseUrl = string.Concat(baseUrl, "/");
}
return VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(string.Concat(baseUrl, url));
}
}
UPDATE: thanks to superjos who pointed out that there was another solution out there:
public class CssRewriteUrlTransformWrapper : IItemTransform
{
public string Process(string includedVirtualPath, string input)
{
return new CssRewriteUrlTransform().Process("~" + VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(includedVirtualPath), input);
}
}
What you can do is you can go to the customize page and change #iconSpritePath and #iconWhiteSpritePath in the Sprites section and, of course, download the new style.
I've put my images in the folder Content/Images folder and I've changed the path in:
/Content/Images/glyphicons-halflings.png
/Content/Images/glyphicons-halflings-white.png
Another alternative is to download all the LESS files from github, change the same variables in the variables.less file and recompile the bootrap.less file with a tool like SimpLESS.
Fix for this now added to my AspNetBundling NuGet package which resolves a bunch of other issues in the standard transformer, particularly around using data-uris. Open-sourced on GitHub too.
Just do:
Install-Package AspNetBundling
Replace CssRewriteUrlTransform with CssRewriteUrlTransformFixed
I built a custom module that manages appointments for a service-based company. All of the current functionality is contained in the admin section. I have not used a single ContentItem or ContentPart. All the models are just plain records.
I'm looking to create a widget to expose the ability to sign up for an appointment from the front end. I have a partial view and a controller that handles the display and form submit, but I'm not sure how to tie that into a widget that can be placed in one of the content zones of the front-end.
I've spent quite a bit of time researching this, and can't find a good path to follow. (I've tried a few and got sub-optimal results)
Any suggestions?
The best answer for me was to create a widget Type definition in the migration.cs file of the module:
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition("CreateAppointmentWidget",
cfg => cfg
.WithPart("WidgetPart")
.WithPart("CommonPart")
.WithSetting("Stereotype", "Widget"));
Then create a handler for that widget at /MyModule/Handlers/CreateAppointmentWidgetHandler.cs:
public class CreateAppointmentWidgetHandler : ContentHandler
{
private readonly IRepository<FieldTechRecord> _repository;
public CreateAppointmentWidgetHandler(IRepository<FieldTechRecord> repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
protected override void BuildDisplayShape(BuildDisplayContext context)
{
base.BuildDisplayShape(context);
if (context.ContentItem.ContentType == "CreateAppointmentWidget")
{
CreateAppointmentViewModel model = new CreateAppointmentViewModel(_repository.Fetch(x => x.IsActive));
context.Shape.AppointmentModel = model;
}
}
}
Then create a matching widget template at /MyModule/Views/Widget-CreateAppointmentWidget.cshtml that inserts the Partial View:
#Html.Partial("CreateAppointment", (MyModule.Models.Views.CreateAppointmentViewModel)Model.AppointmentModel)
The above code grabs the partial view /MyModule/Views/CreateAppointment.cshtml.
Thanks to Giscard's suggestion, I was able to correct the links rendered from CreateAppointment.cshtml by using #Url.RouteUrl() and defining named routes to point where I needed the action and ajax requests to go.
The nice thing about this solution is that it provided a way to create the widget without having to rework my models to use Orchards ContentPart functionality.
Something is not connecting in my head, because I have been able to create a theme with zones, and then dispatch a shape from my module into that zone without much more than doing #Display.Shape(). So I am curious if it's absolutely necessary to use a handler to override the BuildDisplayShape.
Again, this is in the scenario where you have models as plain records (not using ContentItem or ContentPart - and even if not using them, you've shown an example of creating one through migrations).
Something like this - Controller:
public ShapeResult MyShape()
{
var shape = _orchardServices.New.MyPath1_MyShape();
return new ShapeResult(this, shape);
}
Then create a MyShape.cshtml shape with whatever code I have (no need for example).
NOTE: I use a custom IShapeTemplateHarvester file which adds paths where I can store my shapes (instead of using "Views", "Views/Items", "Views/Parts", "Views/Fields", which is the stock in Orchard). It goes something like this:
NB: I hate that code doesn't automatically wrap in SO.
[OrchardSuppressDependency("Orchard.DisplayManagement
.Descriptors.ShapeTemplateStrategy.BasicShapeTemplateHarvester")]
public class MyShapeTemplateHarvester : BasicShapeTemplateHarvester,
IShapeTemplateHarvester
{
public new IEnumerable<string> SubPaths()
{
var paths = base.SubPaths().ToList();
paths.Add("Views/MyPath1");
paths.Add("Views/MyPath2");
return paths;
}
}
Say I have Index.cshtml in my Theme. I have two choices (I use both and use the Theme as the default presentation).
Index.cshtml in Theme folder:
#*Default Content*#
Index.cshtml in Module folder:
#*Special Content overriding Theme's Index.cshtml*#
Display.MyPath1_MyShape()
Even better for me is that I can do this in the Index.cshtml in Theme folder:
#*Whatever content*#
Display.MyPath1_MySecondShape()
There is no ~/MyPath1/MySecondShape.cshtml in the Theme, but there is one in the Module, which the Theme displays! This is great because I can have a special Theme and have multiple modules (that are placed on separate sites) go back and forth with the theme (think Dashboard for different services in the same profession on different sites).
NOTE: The above may only be possible with IThemeSelector implementation such as:
public class MyThemeSelector : IThemeSelector
{
public ThemeSelectorResult GetTheme(RequestContext context)
{
if (MyFilter.IsApplied(context))
{
return new ThemeSelectorResult { Priority = 200,
ThemeName = "MyDashboard" };
}
return null;
}
}
Just my two bits.
I have a FlexLib Project with a embed class:
package
{
public class EmbedAssets
{
[Embed( source="image.png" )]
public static var IMAGE:Class;
}
}
At the same project, I have a class that use this embedded image:
package
{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Visual extends Sprite
{
public function Visual()
{
super();
var aa:DisplayObject = new EmbedAssets.IMAGE() as DisplayObject;
addChild( aa );
}
}
}
And I have another Actionscript Project that use this FlexLib Project and add the Visual class on stage:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class AsTest extends Sprite
{
public function AsTest()
{
addChild( new Visual());
}
}
}
The image don't show up, just.
I had debug the application and found the bitmapData of aa was NULL. But if I implement out of Lib Project, this work!
In properties of projects ai tried a lot configurations on Flex Library Build Path -> Classes / Assets. But none work correctly.
EDIT: Idemax Green (question author) discovered that it works ok with prev SDK's but not with Flex SDK Hero - Beta - 4.5.0.17689, he logged it as a bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-29135
If the FlexLib project is merged with your application code, then i'm pretty sure it will not see the image at that location at runtime, as the location will be different e.g. the library will be in the libs folder of the main app. Check where the FlexLib swc is located in you bin-debug folder, and maybe modify the path in EmbedAssets to reflect this.
You should add the library project's assets directory to the application project's source path.
If you are using FlashBuilder, you should edit the flex application's .project file, and extend the linkedResources tag as follows:
<linkedResources>
[...]
<link>
<name>[source path] assets</name>
<type>2</type>
<locationURI>YOUR_WORKSPACE/YourFlexLib/src/assets</locationURI>
</link>
</linkedResources>
