New to php and drupal. I set up drupal and trying to customize the zen theme. Also setup Netbeans for debuggin. Everything is fine, but the menu variables are not filled as expected.
In page.tpl.php, there is a condition, <?php if ($primary_links || $navigation): ?> , which prints main menu if evaluates true. I get primary_links empty, so the menu doesn't print. According to the css provided by the zen theme, below ids should be used for customization.
/*
* Primary and Secondary menu links
*/
#main-menu {
}
#secondary-menu {
}
I may add style elements looking through firebug, but the above id may be the right place to do it. So, why primary link variable is empty for me?
thanks.
The first thing that comes to mind is that, maybe, you haven't assigned anything to the primary links list. Have you?

I’m inside the New Post page on WP-Admin, where you can create a new post.
At the right column, there’s the category selector, in which you select the category for that new post.
I have something like 15 categories, and therefore the category box is showing with a scrolling bar. Since I need to automate some post creation, I need all the categories to be visible right away, without having to scroll.
So I found the css file that manages the height of the category box (it’s inside /wp-admin/css/edit.css and //wp-admin/css/edit-rtl.css) and there I changed the CSS files to allow a bigger height by default on that box.
However when I open the new post page, it still shows the small box in categories, and when I see the CSS rule, the change I made is not visible. It’s like the CSS is cached or something. I already made sure that my browser is not caching it.
The problem I think it’s because the CSS rules are not pulled directly from CSS files, but from this file:
http://www.website.com/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=0&dir=ltr&load%5B%5D=dashicons,admin-bar,buttons,media-views,common,forms,admin-menu,dashboard,list-tables,edit,revisions,media,themes,about,nav-menu&load%5B%5D=s,widgets,site-icon,l10n,wp-auth-check&ver=4.7
That file seems to go and gather the CSS information from some place (which I assumed was the CSS files in the wp-admin/css/ folder, in which I could find the exact same CSS rules that were applied to the category box) but for some reason, it’s not retreiving the updated CSS file. Or something else is happening (Server side caching the PHP response and therefore retreiving all the time the old response?)
I wouldn't recommend tampering with core admin files, as any changes you make could be lost from a WordPress update.
The proper way to do it is through a custom function added to your theme or child-theme functions.php file:
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');
function custom_admin_css() {
echo '<style>
/* remove scrollbar from categories panel */
.categorydiv div.tabs-panel { max-height: none !important; }
</style>';
}
Another options that will allow you to have CSS for individual pages is to use this OH header/footer plugin. Once you install the plugin you can then add your CSS in the header textarea of the pages admin. Just make sure you enclose your CSS within a <style></style> tag.
I'm trying to remove the title of a page node on Drupal. I have this page:
And I want it to look like this:
As you can see, I want the title to be removed, but only for taxonomy terms. If I try to erase it using CSS, I erase al page-titles, so I wanted to use this module, that allows administrators to auto-generate node titles and hide it.
I go to structure -> type content -> my type content, and edit it. I activate the module, and I want to auto-generate titles depending on the node category. I think it should look like this, but it doesn't work...
Any ideas why?
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to say: yes, when I activate the module, use it, and select the category as the auto-generated title, it works. But it doesn't hide the title...
It also launches this mistake:
Use Exclude Node Title module.
https://drupal.org/project/exclude_node_title
Setting for this module:
Click on Module->Exclude node title->configure
Home » Administration » Configuration » Content authoring
Select All nodes from Basic Page
Check Full Content for hide title from all cms page except home page
Check Teaser for hide title from home page.
If you want to remove the title, you should look into overriding the page and node templates.
page.tpl.php and node.tpl.php
All you need to do is click "View Source" on both of those and copy them to your theme folder. From there you can modify both as required.
From what I can gather, you'll want to remove the print $title from your node.tpl.php.
Have the similar issue before, as far as I remember, I just added some if statement to the code:
<?php if (blah-blah-blah): ?>
<h2> <?php echo $title; ?> </h2>
<?php endif; ?>
Hope, it'll give you a clue.
Some other thoughts: you can make an if statement or rewrite it not only in page.tpl.php but create some specific page-node-type.tpl.php file and overwrite only its $title, or you can try to customize page's output via Views/Panels modules as well.
Also, could you please make more clear, what title do you want to remove? Page title or node title? And it should be removed only when you are looking nodes associated with some taxonomy term (in other words, when you are on /taxonomy/term/n page), am I right?
By using the Context module, you can add classes to the body so you can target just the taxonomy pages in CSS.
Using Context module to set body classes
Sorry guys, it was as easy as hide title tag on "manage presentation"...
You are all right on your responses, but they were not exactly what I needed... thanks!
Use Exclude Node Title module.
https://drupal.org/project/exclude_node_title
another nice solution for specific nodes, is to use the standard $title_prefix/suffix vars, which should be implemented by every theme. using the standard class element-invisible in page preprocess ..
like:
/**
* Implements hook_preprocess_page().
*/
function YOUR_THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (isset($variables['node']) && $variables['node']->nid == 1) {
$variables['title_prefix'] = array('#markup' => '<div class="element-invisible">');
$variables['title_suffix'] = array('#markup' => '</div>');
}
}
Every page should contain a heading.
You should always maintain a structured hierarchy of headings within any web page. You should never have a blank heading or even hide it with display:none;. Hiding any content which isn’t viewable by your visitors but is by search engines is against Google’s guidelines as your intention is to only manipulate search engine results by including it. Restyle a H1 so it fits into your design is the best option.
If you still have to hide it then a better option would be to either create a template for that node, content type or page and simply not print the heading.
Or if you want to use CSS then use position:absolute so the heading doesn’t use any space where it is located in the page and text-indent:-9999px; so the text is moved off the screen and no longer visible but at least can be read by screen readers and search engines.
This is how I did it, Switch statement
// Get the name of node
$node_name = node_type_get_name($node);
// Then just add the content types you wish to exclude by overwriting the // $title object with an empty string
switch ($node_name) {
case 'Home page':
$title = '' ;
break;
case 'Event':
$title = '';
break;
case 'Offer':
$title = '';
break;
}
I have a wp-network installed with users that can create pages in each site.
Each of those pages get a place in the primary menu, and only one user have permission to create all this menu.
I want to create a user only to be able to edit the content of the pages, but not the title.
How can I disable the title of the page to be edited from the admin menu for a specific user, or (far better) for a capability?
I thought only a possibility, that's editing admin css to hide the title textbox, but I have two problems:
I don't like to css-hide things.
I don't know where is the admin css.
I know php, but don't know how to add a css hide to an element for a capability.
You should definitely use CSS to hide the div#titlediv. You'll want the title to show in the markup so the form submission, validation, etc continues to operate smoothly.
Some elements you'll need to know to implement this solution:
current_user_can() is a boolean function that tests if the current logged in user has a capability or role.
You can add style in line via the admin_head action, or using wp_enqueue_style if you'd like to store it in a separate CSS file.
Here is a code snippet that will do the job, place it where you find fit, functions.php in your theme works. I'd put it inside a network activated plugin if you're using different themes in your network:
<?php
add_action('admin_head', 'maybe_modify_admin_css');
function maybe_modify_admin_css() {
if (current_user_can('specific_capability')) {
?>
<style>
div#titlediv {
display: none;
}
</style>
<?php
}
}
?>
I resolved the problem, just if someone comes here using a search engine, I post the solution.
Doing some research, I found the part of the code where the title textbox gets inserted, and I found a function to know if a user has a certain capability.
The file where the title textbox gets added is /wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php. This is the line before the textbox
if ( post_type_supports($post_type, 'title') )
I changed it to this
if ( post_type_supports($post_type, 'title') and current_user_can('edit_title') )
That way, the textbox is only added when the user has the capability called "edit_title"
When this IF block ends few lines after, I added:
else echo "<h2>".esc_attr( htmlspecialchars( $post->post_title ) )."</h2>";
To see the page title but not to edit it, when the user hasn't got "edit_title" capability.
Then I had already installed a plugin to edit user capabilities and roles, wich help me to create a new capability (edit_title) and assign it to the role I want.
I am using wordpress and on the page "sidebar.php" I have the following code:
<?php wp_list_pages('post_type=wiki&depth=1'); ?>
It works great but what I need to do it that what I click on a Menu item on the sidebar I need the sub items to display on the main page.
UPDATE:
What I basically need to do is to have the first level items on the left (As it currently is), and when those links are clicked then the sub items of those items will be listed on the index.php (main page).
I am using the wp-wiki plugin to display the pages as wiki pages but the actual but the list is the same, just showing as a different type:
post_type=wiki
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
<?php
wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&depth=0');
?>
There's several ways you can accomplish this. WordPress actually has an example of exactly what you're looking to do in the Codex. (link - the last example in that section, right above the "List subpages even if on a subpage" heading)
There's several ways to do this though - that's just one example. But that code above, you just pop into your sidebar.php file. You can also create a widget out of it. And as someone else mentioned, you can use the new menu system for WordPress (but you can indeed, make it dynamic.) But the above example in the Codex is the simplest method.
Actually, an easier method would be just to list all subpages and use CSS to hide and show the child items based on what page you're on. The classes are already set up for you. Just view your source code and you can see it. So you'd do something like:
`li ul.children {display:none; }
li.current_page ul.children { display:block; }`
and variations thereof.
What about using the new menu function in wp 3?
That way you could include your type with any sub page you want (won't be dynamic though) and then add your favorite javascript or good css to show those sub-pages.
Trying to modify the menu in the dashboard a bit.
I'm trying to remove the toggle option everywhere it's present, and find someway to force the menus to always be expanded, is this possible? (toggle button: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3618143/toggle.png)
Also want to remove the minimize option (which lets you only show icons in the menu bar). I've been able to remove the actual icon, but the functionality is still there (invisible link). So removing the actual image is not the problem, I've managed to remove that, the functionality however is still there.

Thanks in advance
Have the same need: remove the "un/fold" functionality from the WP admin menu bar, to remove clutter, but without tinkering with the source file.
I found out in wp-admin/menu.php that the separators are stored in index 4,59,99.
Here is the function to add to your functions.php
function pxln_remove_menu_items() {
global $menu;
//an array with menus to remove (use their title)
$restricted = array(__('Posts'),__('Links'), __('Comments'), __('Media'), __('Separator'));
// keys of the unfolders
unset($menu[4]);
unset($menu[59]);
unset($menu[99]);
end ($menu);
while (prev($menu)){
$value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted)) {
unset($menu[key($menu)]);
}
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'pxln_remove_menu_items');
I don't know where exactly the php file to edit it.
But you can use Firebug from Firefox extension, and find the html code to render the toggle option or separator then delete it.
Example: For separator html code is like this:
<li class="wp-menu-separator"><br></li>
Wordpress use cookies to store menu setting, you need to find it and set it manually.
