Smarty logic help needed

Hello all,

I'm working on a theme where I've removed the <{$xoops_contents}> tag and placed it in a separate template. The problem I am currently having is controlling when this gets displayed. I don't want this to be called when there is no module to display i.e. the home page. I've been experimenting with some variations around this:

<{if $thisPage == "system"}>
    <{echo "";}>
  <{else}>
    <{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
  <{/if}>


This hasn't worked, it includes the template regardless. I'm only really stabbing the in dark, I don't even know if the syntax is right. Can anyone help shed some light onto this quandry?

Also:

In the template I've made (referenced above), I've used the <{$module.name}> tag for a title, but it only every returns 'Contact Us' in the browser irrespective of what module you're actually in. Anyone know why this might be?

TIA

Hello russtik,

I believe you are right about having problems with your smarty syntax. The correct syntax should be:

<{if $thisPage eq "system"}>

Here is a link for some smarty help: if,elseif,else

Try this:

<{if $xoops_contents}>
  <{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
<{/if}>

Re: Smarty logic help needed

<{echo xxx}>
is not a Smarty syntax since everything you put outside the <{ }> tags is sent to the output buffer uninterpreted

are you setting $thisPage anywhere? otherwise you cannot use it in a Smarty template

<{$module.name}> is set by the main menu block - I'm guessing that Contact Us is the last item in the main menu list?

To get the functionality, you want, try this:
<{php}>
if isset($GLOBALS['xoopsModule']) && is_object($GLOBALS['xoopsModule']) {
<{/php}>
    <{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
<{php}>
}
<{/php}>

== works just as well as eq - just like !=, >, < etc. all work

eq, ne, neq, gt etc. are optional alternatives

Mith, I thought you were against having php tags in templates

What's wrong with keeping it simple, and just checking the $xoops_contents variable, as per my previous post?

<{if $xoops_contents}>
<{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
<{/if}>

I am deeply against them.

I hadn't thought about your solution, which I think is better - you just posted while I was writing.

None of these approaches have worked I'm afraid.

Tried:

<{if $module eq 'system'}>
    <{php}>echo "";<{/php}>
  <{else}>
    <{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
  <{/if}>


and

<{if $xoops_contents}>
<{include file="default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
<{/if}>


...to no avail

Mithrandir's suggestion produced a blank white page.

Mine works for me, I tested before I posted it.

I think the problem must be the linked file. Try using the complete url :

<{if $xoops_contents}>
<{include file="<{$xoops_imageurl}>default/theme_contentcenter.html"}>
<{/if}>

That's provided you have a folder called "default" in your theme folder. If the included file is in the root of your theme folder then use: <{$xoops_imageurl}>theme_contentcenter.html


In fact, if the included file doesn't exist at the location you've given, that would explain the blank page you get with Mith's solution.

Rowdie,

Your suggestion works as far as excluding the template from the homepage, but upon navigating to a module it chokes. Taking a look at the source of the rendered page shows that it just stops at the point where I pasted your code.
