How to set ATagParams for menu items (except for some pages)

This code may be useful when you may wish to have some extra parameter to all anchor tags in menu items, the code even shows how you can avoid these parameters for some selected pages.

This code may be useful when you may wish to have some extra parameter to all anchor tags in menu items, the code even shows how you can avoid these parameters for some selected pages.

The code below creates this link:

<a rel=”moodalbox” href=”pagelink” >page title</a>

For pages with uid 10, 23 the link will be generated as follows:

<a href=”pagelink” >page title</a>

To get this kind of menu write the following typoscript in the Setup section:

lib.atl_lefttop = COA
lib.atl_lefttop.10 = HMENU
# Level 1
lib.atl_lefttop.10 {
stdWrap.ifEmpty.wrap = &nbsp;
1 = TMENU
1 {
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
expAll = 1
NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>

NO.ATagParams.cObject = TEXT
NO.ATagParams.cObject {
value = rel=moodalbox
/*
moodalbox should not be applied for the uid specified here
*/
if {
value = 10,23
isInList.field = uid
negate = 1
}
}

ACT < NO
ACT.wrapItemAndSub = <li class=”act”>|</li>

CUR < NO
CUR.wrapItemAndSub = <li class=”cur”>|</li>
}

}

# level 2 3 and 4 use same settings as sown above
2< .1
3< .2
4< .3
}

Menu with separate Image for Each Page using optionSplit

Typoscript to have custom image menus with different image for each page using optionSplit…

I was just curious on how to get a separate image as menu item for each page. Then I found that we can use the optionSplit funtion to do this.

The example shows how to do this.

# Page Menu – a 3rd level menu

lib.pagemenu = COA
lib.pagemenu.10 = HMENU
lib.pagemenu.10.entryLevel = 3

# Level 3

lib.pagemenu.10 {
    stdWrap.ifEmpty.wrap = &nbsp;
    1 = TMENU
    1 {
        wrap = <div class=”numbers”>|</div>
        expAll = 1
        NO.allWrap.dataWrap = <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”1.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”2.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”3.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”4.gif”></a>
        NO.doNotShowLink = 1

        ACT < NO

        CUR = 1
        CUR.allWrap.dataWrap = <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”1-mo.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”2-mo.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”3-mo.gif”></a> || <a rel=”moodalbox” href=”index.php?id={field:uid}”><img src=”4-mo.gif”></a>
        CUR.doNotShowLink = 1
    }
}

Random Quotes ( jm_quote )

Here I have given some tips on how to use jm_quote.

You may find this extension at: http://typo3.org/extensions/

1. Install the extension

2. Create a sysFolder (ex: Random Quotes)
Let us consider the uid of this sysFolder is 60

3. Create a few records with your quotes.

4. Now you need to inform the jm_quote plugin the uid of the above sysFolder.

This needs to be done in the Typoscript setup as shown below:

plugin.tx_jmquote_pi1 {
    #Sysfolder Page-ID, where the quotes are located.
    pid_list = 60
}

5. Now it is time to get the random quotes on your page.

This can be easily done by assigning the plugin output to the required TypoScript object:

lib.my_header < plugin.tx_jmquote_pi1

That’s all. Now you should see the quotes on the pages. (Make sure to clear FE Cache)

How to include multiple CSS and JS files using Typoscript

You may include multiple CSS files using the following code:

page.includeCSS {

file1 = fileadmin/templates/project1/css/file1.css
file2 = fileadmin/templates/project1/css/file2.css
file3 = fileadmin/templates/project1/css/file3.css

}

Use this code to include Javascript files:

page.includeJS {

file1 = fileadmin/templates/project1/js/file1.js
file2 = fileadmin/templates/project1/js/file2.js
file3 = fileadmin/templates/project1/js/file3.js

}

Consider you wish to have a CSS specifically for IE 6 and below:

[version= < 7][browser = msie]
page.includeCSS.file4 = fileadmin/templates/prj1/css/ie6fix.css
[global]

Running several name-based web sites on single IP address on Fedora 8

I have given below a few main points which may be useful in setting up a virtual host on Fedora 8.

I would give these examples considering you wish to have

www.url-1.com and www.url-2.com.

Step 1: Add your new domain to hosts file.

This is very essential else you will get address not found error!

Host file is usually located in /etc/hosts

Double click on the "hosts" file, and it should open in "gedit".
The configuration should resemble something like this:

#if you would like to setup only for local system

127.0.0.1 url1.com www.url1.com url2.com www.url2.com

#setting up for a IP which can be accessessible outside

192.168.1.1 url1.com www.url1.com url2.com www.url2.com

 

Step 2: Load VHOST Module in Apache

Now open the Apache configuration file "httpd.conf" and make sure that vhost alias module is loaded as shown.

Usual FILE LOCATION: etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so

Step 3: Add Virtual Host Entries
Now it is time to make proceed and configure Apache Server (the httpd service) to serve files for the different websites.

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

</VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
      ServerName www.url-1.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/url1-folder
</virtualhost>
</VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
      ServerName www.url-2.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/url2-folder
</VirtualHost>

OR

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.7:80

</VirtualHost 192.168.1.7:80>
      ServerName www.url-1.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/url1-folder
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.7:80>
      ServerName www.url-2.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/url2-folder
</VirtualHost>

NOTE: The following settings usually do not work on Linux platform:

<VirtualHost *:80> or NameVirtualHost *.80

Instead you need to use the actual IP address such as:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.7:80> or NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.7.80

If you use *.80, you may always see the default website for both url-1.com and url-2.com.

You may find more virtualhost examples at the following URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html

For CentOS There are a few strict rules to follow as given in:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-apache-virtualhosts.html

 

Setup 4: The final Step – Restart Apache
      The final step is to re-start httpd service using the following command.

service httpd restart

 

Now you should be able to browse www.url-1.com and www.url-2.com using any web-browser such as Mozilla firefox.
