Out of the box, Contao + Nginx will fail with most URLs. As nginx doesn't support .htaccess you'll need to add rules within the server configuration for nginx.

Taking the basic .htaccess and...

Hi all,
Something I've been noticing recently is an increase of the ability to get a white screen of death from Contao during development.

I've got all error reporting on, including E_ALL. Say I...

I'm writing a FE module that will use some simple Ajax to update the module state.
After the original post I started considering doing it all in the JS. I haven't yet researched it but I assume...

Is there anything currently in the core to detect if Mootools, JQuery or both are being used in the FE? I know site administrators will use different combinations.

Hi all, I'll try to keep this brief but this is related to User.php within the Core and to get the ball rolling on decoupling the requirement of POST data from Input/Password fields.

The problem...

I understand of that intention, however the situation gets to become a limitation when you have two submit options on a form.

Ie if you have some logic to put into processFormData and it behaves...

To reopen this topic in one form, why does Contao remove the possibility of using the name attribute of a submit button?

I have actually been working on something similar, but wondering if they fit the same bill or are different.

A sample use case may be as follows, any specified user may submit new content or...

I'm trying to get away from using files to modify DCAs but rather do it in code execution, will give the hook a quick try and see if it works.

I've done quite a bit of modifying DCAs in the past and I've generally gone by the rule that if I want to modify a DCA I need to add a file with the dca name in a directory that will appear after the...

Hi Eric,
Most core modifications are possible, but if you give some detailed information on what you're trying to achieve then we can better help.

Just regarding public/protected/private , to use a protected method you must be calling it from either within the class or from within an extension of that class.

So let's say you extended a...

ruleType is a read only field for display purposes only, the idea is to display what type of rule has been set in the record and provide the other form fields related to it.

I had begun the OpenID implementation, my http://www.contao.org/extension-list/view/Authentication.19.en.html Authentication module I had to add new code to User.php but I will see how much I can rip...

It would help if I put the original code in the post, not the experiment stuff that didn't work. The previous code was me trying to sort the issue using a select.

Anyway this was the original...

Hi all,
Just wondering if it's possible to define what fields are displayed depending on what value exists for a text input.
Ie for the field:


'ruleType' => array

'label' =>...

Hadn't noticed the checkCredentials hook too much before, might modify my Authentication class to use this instead of having to do a patch on the core.

Did anyone ever fully implement OpenID?

Hi,
There is no way you can override the contao/index:Index run method without creating a new file. You could hack around this using Apache index directs on the directory but this is bad practice...

Hi all,
Anyone had any success with attaching FirePHP to Contao?

I installed the FirePHP directory in plugins and entered the configuration information into initconfig.php , however it seems to...

I see that ['eval']['path'] will limit the widget to just look for files in a certain directory. For those with imports is it possible to limit the file uploader to that directory too?

Cheers

Hi all,
I'm aware that the Database class is executing all SQL queries at once after preparing, is it possible to fully execute a database query per function call?

Hi,
This will require some form of Single Sign-on integrating into both systems, I need to do a similar thing but auth users from Contao to a third party.

Hi all,
Just wondering why INSTALL is an invalid path for adding files to a package within the extension management?
I need to add some additional SQL to my module on install-time, it's a VIEW so...

It's a serialized object, use http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php to unserialize it into an array.

It looks like it's the OLE package within PEAR that's calling on System:
http://pear.php.net/package/OLE/

The two files in OLE/PPS/Root.php /OLE/PPS/File.php just call a static method in System...

It's not the PEAR class itself that's the problem but the class 'System' within PEAR that other things will call upon.
Including PEAR.php is no problem, it's when other PEAR modules include System.

I've just tried to use Contao with a PEAR class for XLS Writing (Which is LGPL and a requirement for the module I'm writing).
However PEAR has a class System, as does Contao.

Since it's not...

Hi MP___,
You'll need to write your SQL manually, it's a pretty straight forward operations.
See backend/dca/tl_group.php for TL's SQL.

For a custom callback, how does Contao output the various information stored in
$_SESSION['TL_ERROR']
$_SESSION['TL_CONFIRM']
$_SESSION['TL_INFO']

I assume it flushes the session variables when...

Hi all,
Is it possible to add custom arguments to a field within a DCA that can be accessed by a custom widget?

Cheers

Eeek!
My fix introduces a further bug that an empty record can then exist since the select menu change is saving the record.

Until a fix has been decided on for the actual issue, I'll look into...

The following code is a small hack to alter this behavior, however the bug still stands:

class tl_bug_palette extends Backend{
function field_save($value,$dca){

The bug has been reported here :http://dev.contao.org/issues/2684 with a demo module of the problem.

I've found out the behavior to duplicate this bug, I'll provide a working implementation of the BUG for Contao devs to try ASAP.

Thanks for the speedy response, anything DCA wise, language definitions I am aware (and commonly implement) that they can be provided via an extension.

If you find that your module new fields keep showing CHANGE and not removing from Database maintenance then you've missed out NOT NULL and a DEFAULT value.

Something must be going wrong with the cookie somewhere, so far I've traced it down to User::authenticate()...

BE_USER_LOGGED_IN is to tell you if you have a backend user logged in, similarily FE_USER_LOGGED_IN will return if you have a frontend user logged in.
It will not tell you which user is logged in.
