How to get help pages under help box

Hi,

The title is perhaps a bit cryptic, so let me start with a little explenation.

On my home-page I use Cartlab Mod "Tabbed Menus".
When I click on "help", all the help-pages appear listed.
When I click on one of these help pages I'll be directed to help.php?section=whatever.

What would I like to achieve?
when I click one of the help-links the corresponding page appears under the box with all the links.
If that is not possible: help.php lists on top all the available topics and under that the corresponding pages appear.

On top of that:
The same principle I would like to perform with static pages which are listed.

Image example:

Question:
Can anybody point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance !

Very simple.......

Just add the following to the top of help/index.tpl

Code:

{include file="help/general.tpl"}

and remove the last line where it's included after {else}

Thanks pmstudios,

Works like a dream :lol:

Here is the code to do the same with static-pages:

Edit: customer/main/pages.tpl

Code:

{capture name=dialog}

{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_tab_how_to content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

Now to some more serious stuff.

If you call pages.php without a pageid you'll get a pages not found error.

I would like to call pages.php directly and show a box with all the static-pages listed for the current shop language (= same principle as in the previous post).

I tempered around a bit with pages.php but got nowhere. :cry:

Anybody with an idea how to tackle this one :?:

Thanks in advance,

Gijs

You'll have to setup a template page to display the list of pages, but here is the modification for pages.php

Code:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["pageid"])) {

#

# Prepare data for editing

#

    $preview = ($mode=="preview" ? "" : "AND active='Y'");

    $page_data = func_query_first("SELECT filename, title FROM $sql_tbl[pages] WHERE pageid='$pageid' $preview AND level='E'");



    if ($page_data) {

        $filename = $pages_dir.$page_data["filename"];

                $page_content = func_file_get($filename, true);

        if ($page_content === false) {

            $page_content = "Page didn't found";

        }

        $smarty->assign("page_data", $page_data);

        $smarty->assign("page_content", $page_content);



                $location[] = array($page_data["title"], "");

    }

    else {

        func_header_location("error_message.php?page_not_found");

    }

} 

else {



    $pages = func_query("SELECT pageid, title FROM $sql_tbl[pages] WHERE language='$store_language' AND active='Y' ORDER BY orderby ASC");

    $smarty->assign("pages", $pages);

}



$smarty->assign("main", "pages");



# Assign the current location line

$smarty->assign("location", $location);



func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

?>

Add the following to the top of customer/main/pages.tpl

Code:

{include file="customer/main/pages_title.tpl"}

Create new template file customer/main/pages_title.tpl

Code:

{capture name=dialog}

{if $pages}

{section name=id loop=$pages}

{$pages[id].title}




{/section}

{else}

{$lng.txt_no_pages_available}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$page_data.title content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

And of course whatever message you want for txt_no_pages_available, like "There are currently no pages available" or whatever you want.

This is really off the top of my head, so backup your files! ;) I haven't tested it either, but hopefully it works or sets you in the right direction.

Hi pmstudios,

I doesn't run error free, but it comes quite close to what I want to achieve.

You definitely pointed me in the right direction :P

Gonna dedicated myself to it tomorrow and will report back :!:

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Gijs

I made a couple changes just now (forgot to include the language in the query), but good luck with it tomorrow and glad to help put you in the right direction !

Hi pmstudios,

Couldn't sleep so back to work 8O

So here it goes:

pages.php

Code:

<?php

#

# $Id: pages.php,v 1.1 2004/06/24 13:30:57 max Exp $

#

# This script show static page in customer zone



require "./auth.php";

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";



if($active_modules["Manufacturers"])

    include $xcart_dir."/modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers.php";



$pages_dir = $smarty->template_dir."/pages/$store_language/";





if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["pageid"])) { 

# 

# Prepare data for editing 

# 

    $preview = ($mode=="preview" ? "" : "AND active='Y'"); 

    $page_data = func_query_first("SELECT filename, title FROM $sql_tbl[pages] WHERE pageid='$pageid' $preview AND level='E'"); 



    if ($page_data) { 

        $filename = $pages_dir.$page_data["filename"]; 

                $page_content = func_file_get($filename, true); 

        if ($page_content === false) { 

            $page_content = "Page didn't found"; 

        } 

        $smarty->assign("page_data", $page_data); 

        $smarty->assign("page_content", $page_content); 



                $location[] = array($page_data["title"], ""); 

    } 

    else { 

        func_header_location("error_message.php?page_not_found"); 

    } 

} 

$smarty->assign("main", "pages"); 

 

# 

# Prepare list of all available Embedded pages for the current language 

#

$pages = func_query("SELECT pageid, title FROM $sql_tbl[pages] WHERE active='Y' AND level='E' AND language='$store_language'  ORDER BY orderby ASC"); 



$smarty->assign("pages", $pages); 



# Assign the current location line 

$smarty->assign("location", $location); 



func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty); 

?>

costumer/main/pages.tpl

Code:

{* $Id: pages.tpl,v 1.3 2004/05/06 11:40:19 svowl Exp $ *}

{include file="customer/main/pages_title.tpl"}








{if $page_content ne ""}

{capture name=dialog}

{if $config.General.parse_smarty_tags eq "Y"}

{eval var=$page_content}

{else}

{$page_content}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$page_data.title content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

{/if}

customer/main/pages_title.tpl

Code:

<table width="100%">

<tr>

<td align="center"><h1>How To Zone ==>change into $lng</h1></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Blablabla ==> change into $lng





</td>

</tr>

</table>

{capture name=dialog} 

{if $pages} 

{section name=id loop=$pages} 

{$pages[id].title}

 

{/section} 

{else} 

No pages available

{/if} 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title="How To ? ==> change into lng-variable" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

Works fine for me :lol:

Have a good night to ...

Gijs

added a litle tweak

Hi pmstudios,

As I have a multi-lingual cart and I dont want some pages to appear in the pages list I've a the following twist to it

Code:

<table width="100%">

<tr>

<td align="center"><h1>{$lng.lbl_tab_how_to}</h1></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>{$lng.lbl_how_to_text}





</td>

</tr>

</table>





{if $store_language eq "NL"}



{capture name=dialog} 

{section name=pg loop=$pages_menu} 

{if $pages_menu[pg].pageid ne "1"} 

{$pages_menu[pg].title}

 

{/if} 

{/section} 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_tab_how_to content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}





{elseif $store_language eq "US"}



{capture name=dialog} 

{section name=pg loop=$pages_menu} 

{if $pages_menu[pg].pageid ne "1"} 

{$pages_menu[pg].title}

 

{/if} 

{/section} 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_tab_how_to content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}



{/if}
