Yeah, I'm self taught with PHP/MySQL too. I use to do more than I do now. I seem to get lost when diving into other peoples code which these days is more and more object oriented than procedural.

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 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.

Got it. Thank!

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

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,

I haven't installed v2.8 but I did install v2.9.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

FYI, So interesting enough, some css rules seem to be ignored if I place them in the file located here

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

Is it possible to separate the title of a page from the "echo $this->main; " by editing the templates?

Hi All,

Regarding the image_headline extension:

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...
