I’ve also added a ‘freebies’ section to the lower right of the sidebar —–>
Check it out.

Navigate to the setup tab across the top:

Click on the ini settings link in the left navigation.  Then choose menu.ini from the top dropdown and the siteaccess of your admin.

Scroll down or browser search for the section ‘TopAdminMenu’. Click on the edit icon in the top right of that section.

Scroll down and you should have a default value of something like:

=dashboard
=content
=media
=users
=setup

Update the box to include ‘=shop’ in the order you want the tabs to appear and make sure you add a “=” at the top.  If you don’t your tabs will get duplicated as it will add to the array instead of starting new.

function highlight($word, $block)
{
  $pattern = '/('. quotemeta($word) .')/ui';
  return preg_replace($pattern, '<span class="highlight">$1</span>' , $block );
}

That’s it. I use it to highlight the searched words on khristos.org like this:

<?php
$q = $_GET['q'];
foreach($results as $result)
{
  echo highlight($q, $result);
}
?>

In the pattern line you will see a ‘/ui’ at the end. The u stands for Unicode and the i stands for case-insensitive.

Hope this helps.

Photoshop is repeating yourself. Ok, so you’ve spent 3 days on a mockup in Photoshop. Now what? Now I have to make it all over again in HTML/CSS. Wasted time. Just build it in HTML/CSS and spend that extra time iterating, not rebuilding. If you’re not fast enough in HTML/CSS, then spend the time learning how to create in HTML/CSS faster. It’s time well spent.

$node = eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( $node_id );
$dataMap = $node->dataMap();

$image_attribute = $dataMap['image'];
$image_array = $image_attribute->Content()->attribute('original');

$image_url = $image_array['url'];

1. First get into the DataMap of your object or node.
2. Change the ‘image’ of $dataMap['image'] to whatever the attribute_identifier of your image is.
3. Change the ‘original’ of $image_pathobj->Content()->attribute(‘original‘); to whichever size of image you need to get.  The image array contents all the good information of that image, i.e. height, width, filesize, etc.
4. Use the ‘url’ to get a full path to your image. Slap a “/” on the front or use ezurl() to display.

If you want to see the available image sizes, you can check them by debugging this value:

$image_sizes = $image_attribute->Content()->attributes();

Upload your tallscreen video to YouTube and then put your YouTube URL in the bar at the top.

In this example we will be using an extension called orange.  To start out we are going to create a function we can use in our templates to mimic the php function str_replace. We will call it ezstr_replace.

If you don’t have an autoloads folder in your extension already then create one and add a php file called  eztemplateautoload.php

extention/orange/autoloads/eztemplateautoload.php

In this file add the following code.

<?php
$eZTemplateOperatorArray[] = array( 'script' => 'extension/orange/autoloads/str_operator.php',
         							'class' => 'MyStrOperator',
         							'operator_names' => array('ezstr_replace')
								);
?>

The script element points to the file of your class, the class is the Class name you will use and the operator_names are the functions you will be able to use.  You will add more to that array as you build new functions in the future.  This is the common place I forget to change when adding new functions.

So now let’s create the php file str_operator.php and put it in the same autoloads folder.  You could put this into a different folder just remember to change the path in the array above. I will give you the whole class and then go through it and inspect certain elements.

<?php

class MyStrOperator
{
  function MyStrOperator()
  {
    $this->Operators = array( 'ezstr_replace' );
  }

  function &operatorList() { return $this->Operators; }
  function namedParameterPerOperator() { return true; }

  function namedParameterList()
  {
    return array (
      'ezstr_replace' => array(
         'search' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
         'replace' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
         'subject' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' )
      )
    );
  }

  function modify( &$tpl, &$operatorName, &$operatorParameters, &$rootNamespace, &$currentNamespace, &$operatorValue, &$namedParameters )
  {
    switch ( $operatorName )
    {
      case "ezstr_replace":
        $operatorValue = str_replace( $namedParameters['search'], $namedParameters['replace'], $namedParameters['subject']  );
      break;
    }
  }
  var $Operators;
}
?>

In the constructor function MyStrOperator we have an array of the functions available.

Leave alone the functions operatorList and ParameterPerOperator.

The namedParameterList is where the action gets started… it’s also a mess of an array. The first array has the key with the name of the template function you want to use and it’s value is another array with the parameters you want to pass to your function. As you can see you set the type of parameter it is, if it’s required or not and a default value.  If you wanted to add another function it would look like this:

return array (
  'ezstr_replace' => array(
    'search' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
    'replace' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
    'subject' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' )
),
  'ezpreg_replace' => array(
    'search' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
    'replace' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' ),
    'subject' => array( 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'default' => '' )
  )
);

In the modify function of this class we do a switch on the $operatorName and set the $operatorValue to whatever actions we want to perform with our template function.  If your actions become too large and you don’t want to fill up your modify function you could set it up like the example below.

function modify( &$tpl, &$operatorName, &$operatorParameters, &$rootNamespace, &$currentNamespace, &$operatorValue, &$namedParameters )
{
  switch ( $operatorName )
  {
    case "ezstr_replace":
      $operatorValue = $this->replace( $namedParameters['search'], $namedParameters['replace'], $namedParameters['subject']  );
    break;
  }
}

function replace($search, $replace, $subject)
{
  return str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
}

Here is how you can use the function in your template.

{def $text = "The King and I are going to get some cookies"}
{def $checkmate = ezstr_replace("King", "Queen", $text)}
{$checkmate}

The example above should display “The Queen and I are going to get some cookies”

So now you know how to get some template function going. In the upcoming blog posts I’m going to give some functions that have helped me out quite a bit.  So stay tuned and comment below if you have any questions or problems.
