Is there any way that I can create a Configurable footer and Header from plone admin?
Header Configuration is for adding/edting menus for a website.
Footer Configuration is for adding/edting some url name.
Also I need to have a logo at top left and the logo is also editable from plone admin.
Yes, there is a a way: Instead of relying on viewlets Plone ships with for the header- and footer-sections of a site, you can use portlets instead.
The addon "Products.ContentWellPortlets" will alow you to assign portlets also in top- and bottom-area, not only in left- and right-column.
For example, to add a logo, you can then assign a static-text-portlet, edit it just like a conventional page-type, insert a picture, it'll be also an ordinary image-item of the side, not a hard-to-customize ZMI-resource.
There is an addon, removing the viewlets and adding sample portlets in header and footer instead as a starting point (disclaimer: I'm the author): adi.simplestructure. You can give it a try, if you're lazy ;)
In the header, the menu is autogenerated for you by Plone depending on the content, but you can turn this off by:
Go to http://localhost:8080/[yoursiteId]/portal_properties/site_properties/manage_workspace
Check the checkboxes to the right of both disable_folder_sections and disable_nonfolderish_sections
Hit 'Save' at the bottom
Now you can go to http://localhost:8080/[yoursiteId]/portal_actions/portal_tabs/manage_workspace and add more menu items (copy and paste the one that's already there if you like)
For the footer, take Mathias' suggestion above: https://github.com/4teamwork/ftw.footer or perhaps collective.doormat might suit you better - you'll have to experiment with that.
For the logo see this page in the Plone docs. I can see that you might feel it should be easier, but this shouldn't be something you do every year (if your organization wants rebranding), right?
some other packages for editing your menuitems in the header:
https://plone.org/products/collective.portaltabs
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/quintagroup.plonetabs (more info on what this does in our setup: https://admin.kuleuven.be/icts/english/wms-en/extra/edit-header-links)
for our footer we use:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.phantasy (this allows layout adjustment through the web, more info on what this does in our setup: https://admin.kuleuven.be/icts/english/wms-en/extra/edit-layout)

I have a TYPO3 9.3.0 installation with the introduction and bootstrap packages and I am unable to find any location of the styling instructions. I mainly just want to adjust the footer content and the header logo size and maybe some more along the way but I have no idea where to look to change it. The documentation seems to be all over the place and outdated too. I did a search in the server for any .css files and the search returned negative so I am really at a loss.
The styles, layouts and overall configuration originate from EXT:bootstrap_package (the Bootstrap extension). You find the layout of the footer (3 columns) in file Resources/Private/Partials/Page/Structure/Footer.html for example. However, you should refrain from editing files inside extensions directly in order to keep the update funtionality (a re-install or update of the extension would overwrite your changes).
The content of the footer can be adjusted easily by editing the content elements "Related Links" (ID: 177), "Powered by" (ID: 175) and "Social Networks" (ID: 176), which are all located on the "Congratulations" page (ID: 1).
Go to: WEB → List, select page "Congratulations" and scroll down to table "Page Content". Edit/remove/replace the records as required.
You can also customize the theme and look'n feel by changing the configuration under:
WEB → Template, select page "Congratulations", select "Constant Editor" at the top. Then choose the desired "Category" (e.g. "BOOTSTRAP PACKAGE: BASIC"). There is a great number of options available, including the path to the main logo image.
Please note that some changes may require a flush of the (frontend) cache. You find this function in the TYPO3 backend at the top of the screen (the little flash icon: ⚡).
I am using Plone 4.1.4 with Doormat and Diazo in an institute I work and the Footer has to be made manually by adding each column and item that links internally to items from main menu.
What I want is that this footer, which is the site map, to change automatically every-time some user create, edite or delete an item from the main menu (content folders).
When I got the job I noticed many of those links in footer are out of date, and as there are many users in their each sections of the institute that are allowed to change the structure, I know they won't update both folders and footer.
I searched the Internet for some product or tip but I cant' find anything that resolves that problem.
If your Diazo theme was created as a Python package using mr.bob or zopeskel, you probably already have z3c.jbot, which allows you to easily override templates, available. If so, you likely have a template_overrides or similar directory in the package. If so, just drop into it a file named plone.app.layout.viewlets.footer.pt with the contents:
<div i18n:domain="plone"
id="portal-footer">
<ul id="portal-doormat"
class="navTreeLevel0 visualNoMarker">
<tal:sitemap replace="structure context/##sitemap/createSiteMap" />
</ul>
</div>
Then style away!
Alternatively, you may replace the colophon by naming the file plone.app.layout.viewlets.colophon.pt.
If you aren't using a Python package for your theme (if the Diazo theme was created through-the-web) then you may use the portal_view_customizations tool in the ZMI to make the same template override.
You may wish to also customize the depth of the site map. That may be changed via the portal_properties tool, navtree_properties property sheet. Or, just use CSS to hide unwanted depth.
An alternative and much easier way to realize your demand, can be to use portlets instead of viewlets, in combination with the addons "Products.ContentWellPortlets" and "collective.portlet.sitemap":
1.) Hide the footer-viewlets via a GenericSetup-config like in this example:
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/adi.simplestructure/trunk/adi/simplestructure/profiles/default/viewlets.xml
2.) Assign a sitemap-portlet in the footer-area via a GenericSetup-config, similar to this example:
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/adi.simplestructure/trunk/adi/simplestructure/profiles/default/portlets.xml
Tip: First assign the sitemap-portlet via the Web-UI, then go to [SITE-URL]/portal_setup, search for "portlets", check its box and click the export-button on the bottom, to get the needed xml-file.
I want to hide the date on this page.
I tried to change it inside joomla but I couldn't. It's not an article but a JKit page and there is no such an option.
I used the "inspect element" feature to find the corresponding css file and line (bootstrap.css #554). When I change the element through the "inspect element" menu its working but when I open the css file and change it, it doesn't work.
Any suggestions how I can hide it?
p.meta {display: none;}
That ought to do it. Granted, any other metadata will also be hidden. You should add this to a custom CSS file and not modify core Joomla or extension files.
I find it hard to believe that jKit doesn't have a setting for that. (Update: I see that jKit is very new and lacks good documentation.) Also, a template override might be more to your liking.
Most Joomla components allow you to control things like this in the options for the items and also in the menu options when creating a menu link (or setting the global options to change the default behavior. If this component does not, make either an alternate layout or a template override (depending on whether you want to always change this or just on this one page). If you go into the template manager, template view there is a system in place that will automatically create a copy of the layout and put it in the right location. Just edit that to show what you want.
Ok so I solved by editing the according .php file of the component.
I just removed the echo line of the date.
Nothing else worked.
I've recently started getting familiar with Atlassian Confluence (v. 3.3), but I'm having trouble understanding the best way to use page hierarchies within a space.
Within a space, pages can be located underneath the "Home" page, or one level higher, next to the home page. However, in the "Documentation" theme, the left sidebar page hierarchy is only shown for pages rooted below "Home". This means that the "Home" breadcrumb is always displayed when viewing pages that appear in the sidebar hierarchy.
So, what is the purpose of having pages on this top level? Should it be used specifically to hide pages from the sidebar hierarchy (like meta)?
Is it possible to have the sidebar hierarchy display for pages rooted next to Home (on this top level), instead of below it?
Is it possible to remove the Home breadcrumb?
How many of these questions are made irrelevant by later updates to the software?
The only real purpose I can think of for having a page on the same level as the home page would be to disclude it from a page-tree display starting at the home page. So if you have some pages you use for holding images, documents, testing content, et cetera then you would not want it to show up in the hierarchy viewed by regular users.
When you define a page-tree macro, or the children-display or anything similar, you can specify which page it is displaying the hierarchy from. If you want to use a page other than the home page, just specify it in the page-tree macro.
I don't believe it is possible to remove the breadcrumb, or at least I don't know how.
Software updates will maybe bring some other page-tree-esque options but won't fundamentally change anything else we're talking about here.
So, what is the purpose of having pages on this top level?
Specifically? You'd have to ask Atlassian.
Generally? The default configuration is that only pages from the specified Home page down are shown in the navbar.
Should it be used specifically to hide pages from the sidebar hierarchy (like meta)?
Yes. Any page which is used for navigation, control or configuration is stored at the top of the hierarchy. That way they don't show up in the navbar.
Using the {alias} macro will create a page in the top hierarchy.
If you use a page as input to your navbar then this page can be stored here out of user sight but still publically visible. So, if you had a page with lots of markup for a colourful and exciting navbar named SpaceNavigation then in the Documentation Theme Configuration you would have this code:
{include:SpaceNavigation|nopanel=true}
Is it possible to have the sidebar hierarchy display for pages rooted next to Home (on this top level), instead of below it?
Yes. Use the pagetree macro.
{pagetree:root=#none}
You can edit the space theme to show anything in the left navigation bar.
Browse > Space Admin > Theme > Configure theme
Untick the 'Page Tree' option at the top. Put your code to display content in the navbar in the navigation box.
If you want a pagetree somewhere in your custom navigation use the {pagetree} macro. You can set the root page to a page lower in the hierarchy. {pagetree:root=apple}
The {children} macro is also useful here.
The reporting macros can print a list of all pages in a space. You can build your own macro or import a wiki page to display as the navbar.
Is it possible to remove the Home breadcrumb?
This may need clarification. Are you looking to remove the breadcumbs or just the word 'home'.
Either way, the answer is 'JavaScript or CSS'.
If you are a space administrator you can add CSS styles to the space to disable CSS for the space from the header.
If you have the {html} macro or {style} then you can add styles and JavaScript to the wiki page.
If you are a wiki administrator, or have one on your side, then you can create a macro or plugin to put CSS or JavaScript code on the page.
Here is a code sample to find two classes on a page and after the page has loaded (document.ready) hide them.
{html}
<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.$(document).ready(function() {
AJS.$(".first").hide();
AJS.$(".second").hide();
});
</script>
{html}
This example will remove the word 'Dashboard' as it has the class of 'first'.
Go forth and write the code to find the objects that so draw your ire and vanquish them.
CSS is also an option and sometimes less messy.
Some CSS objects can be removed from the page from within the page. E.g:
{html}
<style type="text/css">
ol.breadcrumbs { visibility:none; !important; }
</style>
{html}
However, to remove objects at the top of the page you need to use javascript or put CSS in the space style sheet.
Browse > Space Admin > Stylesheet
How many of these questions are made irrelevant by later updates to the software?
It's pretty much the same. Some styles have changed. Some things have been moved around. The general look has changed.
Some of the style sheets have changed and they have said that they are looking to deprecate the Documentation Theme. However, given the community support for the Documentation Theme even if they remove it no doubt it will be available as a downloadable theme in V6.
If you are interested in looking at this yourself then you can download Confluence V5 with a trial licence or try their OnDemand free for one month.
Is there a module in Drupal that allows me to put link at the end of a page?
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_SDci0Pf3tzU/Sfm7vF_MSiI/AAAAAAAAEtY/VX3BXaMOfSM/s400/linksatend.jpg
I tried to use menu and put it as a block at the footer, but the menu items are arranged vertically, instead of horizontally.
Is there anyway to do it without ( preferably) touching the CSS and HTML?
changing the menu items from vertically to horizontally is a matter of 1 or 2 css rules. which is why i doubt that there is a module for this. if you would post a link to your site, or the html + css, i could help with the css.
Links at the end of the page can be controlled by a few different things.
First, check the Blocks administration and see if there is a content area for the footer. Maybe there is a block there that is controlling these links.
Next, depending on well the theme is built, check the configuration options under Admin > Site Building > Themes > Conigure > (Your theme). Many have options to change what links display in the footer.
Lastly, check the page.tpl.php. They could also be hard-coded in the template (which is bad) and edited from there.
In terms of answering your question about 'a module to alter links', you can see that since the links can be controlled from different places, a module just for this purpose would be pointless. The correct way is to set the appropriate options in template.php so it can be configured in your theme settings.
You might have some luck using the Nice Menus module - it's intended to create animated menus but if you give it a flat menu tree, it might be close enough to what you want. If that doesn't work, there's about 100 modules dealing with navigation.
Still, the best way would be to place the menu's block in the footer and modify the theme to flatten it with CSS.
Assuming you don't won't to touch the theme, maybe because you're using an unmodified contrib theme, you can use either of two approaches:
create the block by hand as a custom HTML block, which gives you full control over the contents. The main downside is that you'll have to maintain it by hand instead of using admin/build/menus
create a PHP block, either custom (boo !) or in your site-specific module (better), to generate a block with markup appropriate for the theme you're using, based on the actual primary links, which you obtain from menu_primary_links(). Downside it that you have to create a site module if you don't already have one, or that you'll have to enable the PHP filter if you create it as a custom block.
This being said, I think you'd still be better off modifying the theme if it's a custom one, or creating a sub-theme for the theme you're using if it's a contributed one. It will be less work and, this being a matter of appearance, falls rather in theme scope than in module scope.
