Is there a way within Contao to create content types to storage data and then create a views of the data such as a listing page that links to a details page?
I currently have my own simple PHP...
Hi All,
I currently have a contact form setup using the form generator. Is there a way to send an auto reply to the visitor that submitted the contact form? (For the record, I think that is an...
Hi All,
I'm glad to see that Contao is getting more traction as is evident by the reported numbers of people who show up at meets and the number of books now available in German.
Frequently I...
Ga.n,
Got it. Thank!
It came together between the post.

Ruud,
Thanks so much, you post ended a week long effort!
I did not know to check the Language fallback under the root page within "Site Structure". This appears to have fixed my issue of the...
Okay, I have more questions...
I searched Fall Back and came up with this
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3561&p=15174&hilit=fallback+language#p15174
When I created the website I did create a root site...
Thanks.
In Settings. The fallback is set to the following:

How would this affect the home index page from not being served?
Hi All,
I have a very odd issue and I would like to ask if anyone else has ever come across this.. The website is using Typolight 2.7 (I know, I really should upgrade.. Its coming I promise...)

Hi All,
I'm looking to share post with a "Share this" link via (Email | Facebook | Twitter | Google Buzz).
I scanned the extension repository but I didn't see an extension that supported email...
Hmm, I must be going about this the wrong way. I have snooped around a bit and it appears nearly identical.
The thing is the main nav (nav_default.tpl) produces the expected structure whereas...
Hi All,
Its been a while since I had to theme Contao.
I have an existing site that now needs a third level menu. The main menu navigation is working correctly with three levels of nested ULs

I haven't installed v2.8 but I did install v2.9.
I suspect that its not compatible with v2.7 or v2.9. Any idea if its targeted for 2.9?

If you click on what we do in the drop menu or left menu the link defaults to index.php#
This is behavior is site wide. Not sure why but I kind of...
Hey Medianomaly,
Not sure if this is the same issue but I have the behavior where if you are on a page say (About-Us) and click the menu link for about-us then it goes to the index page instead of...
Hi All,
So it seems that the database tables did not install with the Beta version - is this a know issue or just my problem because I have a slightly old version of TL? I'm using TYPOlight webCMS...
This is great, thanks!
I'm assuming that any jQuery plugin can be used with these same steps. I plan on trying this with a different jQuery plugin (ad-gallery).
Hi,
Its been a while since I used this myself but since it works in one spot and not another, I would re-check your tags and css settings to see what may be happening. I don't think it should...
I noticed that the background of text is rendered Grey instead of white when viewed with IE6.
I almost don't care but is there a work around for this? I tried to set a background color but not...
Hi Ben,
My problem was that the field name seems to require lowercase 'message'.
C.
RAW data format works I get the body message instead of a blank screen.
:?: So what does the email data form do? It would be nice to be able to format the email.
Ahh, thats a clever idea! That's actually better then testing for a page id since its page independent.
I can do that. thanks for the idea.
No its set to 'email' I'm not saving to database just want it emailed. I will try that.
Awesome! thanks. Seems obvious now.
I thought about that, but I am already customizing my news-list template. Seems like there should be something like that - guess that's a wish list item.
I will have to take another look at it....
Hi, I am having the same issue. I get an email with a blank page.
I upgraded from 2.75 to 2.76 not sure this ever worked before however as I'm building my first TL site.
Hi All,
When I send email from my contact form I get emails with the correct subject but no body. Its a blank email with no information?
I just upgraded from 2.75 to 2.76. Also I am not using...
I know this is really bad UI but my client wants their PDF brochure linked directly to the main navigation link as in Home | About | Contact | Download Brochure - Right now I link to a page with the...
Hi All,
I need to create a drop menu of recent news articles items as an unordered list for a suckerfish type menu. I tried to do this with the a Navigational Menu Module but I could not get it to...
I believe so, however since I have upgraded to 2.76 the problem seems too have gone away.
Happy me.
Thats good to know! Thanks again.
So I have tried on the on-line demo and I do not see the issue. However I am using v2.75.
I plan to upgrade to 2.8 so we will see if that fixes the issue.
Hi Vera,
I have not tried that yet... Still, I'm having this issue. Very annoying. It seems to be happening in at least two browsers that I tested.
Anyone else ever see this behavior?
Hey that worked beautifully!
So restated you can override the system date format with a custom format.
Copy and edit the appropriate News template and swapped out
the date code

Hi All,
I seem to have an issue when editing text with the editor.
Symptoms:
I can edit but when I click save or save and close the text edits are ignored.
Work Around:
If I click save...
Hi All,
I would prefer to have a date that is formated like 'February 2, 2010' which I think should be the formated with the following string 'F d, Y' This however generates a general system...
Hi again,
I need to style titles of my news articles as H2 instead of an H1 except that unlike most other elements I can't select the h2 for the headline.
Is there a template that I can adjust...
Well I think I get what you mean but I don't want to install TL in my root of the htdocs folder. I currently have it running in a folder because I run several websites from multiple directories in...
Thanks works great, thanks so much.
Do I need to specify the sub folder in the .htacess file?
I have been unable to get mod-rewrite working. As far I can tell its enabled. I uses it locally with Drupal on the same XAAMP install...
Because the variable $this=>id does not seem to be available in my FE template, my current solution is to test for a specific page by using $this=>pageTitle - that has some obvious draw backs.
I...
Cool thanks.
This will make for cleaner code and less mucking around with additional templates and layouts in my current hack. I suppose eventually I should reinvent the functionality with the...
Yeah it was the absolute positioned DIV in FireFox. I don't recall ever seeing this before but adding positioning to the other items fixed it.
Okay so this is a Z-index issue of sorts. I am positioning my H1 absolutely. and so this seems to be an issue for Firefox.
If I do display:none on my H1 it hides the box that's covering it and my...
I don't need to do this anymore. I just created a new layout and template and embed by code - but I'm still curious if its possible to embed PHP code.
Hi All,
I'm having an odd experience with Firefox showing links. I'm using the WYSIWYG editor to set the anchors to an internal page. The links work fine when viewed from IE8, Firefox shows the...
Hi All,
Is it possible to run a code snippet from within a code element or other?
I search on embed PHP code and did not turn up anything. The code element wraps the PHP in a <pre> tag which...
FYI, So interesting enough, some css rules seem to be ignored if I place them in the file located here
/system/modules/image_headline/html/heading.css as the readme suggest.
line-height:...
I did but it just occurred to me that I may have a descriptor in my main file that I missed.
I have to play with all of these to see which is best for me.
Thanks!
I didn't know about the custom sections. There are a few thing here that are not clear. If I create a custom section then do I access it like this $this->customheadersection in my template? And do I...
So these look promising. Do you know if the Image_headline extension is out of favor?
Seems like its been a while since it was updated.
Awesome, I will check these out. I did not see these in the extension catalog.
Many Thanks
Well,
I'm still a little in the dark with the scope of the .tpl files.
I have been adapting an older design into TL which is almost complete not posted anyway but the old design is here...
Is it possible to separate the title of a page from the "echo $this->main; " by editing the templates?
I suppose I may be able to do this by absolute positioning but it would be really helpful If...
Hi All,
Regarding the image_headline extension:
- Does anyone know if the leading or letter spacing can be controlled? I tried setting the line height and letter spacing in CSS but it had no...
I realize now that I just needed to add a class in the page structure for each page. That added to the body tag I'm set to style the menu as selected for sub-items.
You might want to print the array to see whats inside like this,
<?php
echo print_r($this->items); echo "</pre>";
?>
Place it strategically in your template to have it print out. For...
Thanks guys,
The active trail is working actually for the selected sub item.
I'm adapting a static website to TL and previously I used a body ID tag to keep the menu highlighted. I'll hunt...
Hi All,
Is there a TL function or technique that I can use to test if a child page is active? so I can write an 'active' class in the parent item?
I have got this mostly working but I am...
Hi All,
I need to create two kinds of blogs...
The first kind are individual blogs and the second kind are group blogs where a few different writers write on a blog subject.
So the main...
