Template logic and settings to provide rounded corners on image aliases

Fri, 03 May 2013 18:00:27 GMT

Abstract

Image processing is a very powerful feature of eZpublish. This article shows you how to combine 24 bit PNG images with ImageMagick via the eZpublish image alias system, and to produce images with pre-rendered rounded corners.

Approaches

There are a number of ways of approaching this problem.

It is possible to overlay a mask (a second image with a transparent centre) in an overlaid div, but this solution has one big drawback: Internet Explorer has patchy support for the only image format which has full alpha support, png24. Which means you are stuck with using a gif, and with jagged edges.

A much better way is to get ImageMagick, one of the graphics processors included with EzPublish, to do the work. It is theoretically possible to get ImageMagick to measure the picture and draw the mask, but this is complicated (if anyone gets it to work please let us know). These discussions may be a good starting place if you feel like taking this to the next level:

https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#rounded_border

This section of the ImageMagick useage manual gives details on this, but there are hurdles which would need to be overcome, such as getting ImageMagick in EzPublish to read external vector files (.mvg) and some more discussion here.

https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8401

For my particular use case we needed the resulting images to conform to an exact size, so rather than tackling the really hard stuff I elected to get ImageMagick to pull a png24 matt image from the design directory and overlay it on the source image. This is a simpler version of the technique described here:

https://www-128.ibm.com/developerw...y/l-graf2/?ca=dgr-lnxw15GraphicsLine
but as the final image size is pre-determined there is no need to add the corners individually.

Directions

This is what you need to do

Dependencies

The first thing you'll need to do is to establish whether the version of ImageMagick supports the -composite command. In the case of our host, Atvert Systems, we discovered that they were running the default version which shipped with the operating system - 6.0.7.1-16. (and this situation is quite likely for a professional hosting environment where system stability is more of a priority than having the latest versions of all components)

Luckily Karl, who runs Atvert, was very helpful in identifying the problem and he quickly upgraded ImageMagick to version 6.3.2.7-1, which supports the necessary commands.

Images

The next step is to make a test graphic, you can skip this if you are feeling really sure of yourself but I'd recommend it - you'll probably save yourself a few headaches. Make a two layer Photoshop (but make sure you convert the background layer to an normal one in PS's case) or Gimp file, put the word 'front' on one layer and the work 'back' on another, both with transparent backgrounds. Export the two layers as png24s with transparency. Put the 'front' one in your siteaccess images folder - that will eventually be your matt.

You now need to find out the 'fully qualified path' to that folder. It won't be the ftp path. In our case in involved prepending /var/www/html/ to the address you see in an ftp client. It's probably best to contact your hosting provider on this, unless you feel like a lot of guessing.

Settings

Next, open image.ini.append.php. you can do this in either the siteaccess copy or the override copy. Just don't do it in both ! :)

The first thing to add is the filter definition, it goes in the [ImageMagick]
section:

[ImageMagick]
Filters[]=rounded=-compose dst-over -composite -gravity NorthWest /var/www/html/ ... more path goes here ... /design/news_site/images/picmask.png

This makes a filter called 'rounded', makes the destination go over the source, references the overlay to the top left corner and calls the matt image
The -gravity switch may not be necessary.
Next, make an alias for the image which will use the filter:

[AliasSettings]
AliasList[]=mypicturewitharoundedborder

Finally, add the filters to the alias;

[mypicturewitharoundedborder]
Filters[]=geometry/scalewidth=156 Filters[]=geometry/crop=156;90;0;0
Filters[]=rounded=

The final filter applies the mask.

Save and upload the ini file, go to your EzPublish Online Editor, choose an image (the 'back' one you made earlier) choose the mypicturewitharoundedborder alias from the dropdown and publish. When you are happy that it's working delete the 'front' image and replace it with one that does something useful!

Template Variable Scope / Passing Variables to Template

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:38:22 GMT

Question

Is there anything like $module_result.content_info.persistent_variable

I could use instead of it? Something to pass data from tpl of shop to pagelayout.tpl

Solution

Found out I can use {set-block scope=global variable=NAME}VALUE{/set-block}

Template logic to perform search and replace on strings

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 05:37:17 GMT

Hello, in this post I will show how to perform a simple string search and replace within an eZ Publish template variable.

Many new users to eZ Publish incorrectly think there is no search and replace operator within the eZ Publish template language...

Consider the following examples. I find them to be simpler and faster to use together than to mess with yet another custom operator or wrap_operator function call.

First you can do this in any template. Here is an example. Put this code into a template file:

{def $strDataInput='09/17/2011'
       $strData=$strDataInput|explode('/')|implode('.')}
 
{$strData}{* $strData will output '09.17.2011' *}
 
{undef}&nbsp;

This also works the same way in php. Here is an example:

<?php
$input = 'abcd efg hijk lmnop qrs tuv wxyz';
$output = implode( '-', explode( ' ', $input ) );
print_r( $input . "\n\n");
print_r( $output . "\n\n");
?>

I hope this helps others looking to avoid extra dependencies and complexities without giving up much needed functionality :)

PHP Snippet Creating new content objects

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:34:49 GMT

Compatibility

This feature is available since eZ publish 3.9.

From eZ Publish 3.9 on, there's also the static method eZContentFunctions::createAndPublishObject() which handles object creation, filling attributes and publishing at one location. The filling of the attributes is handled by the fromString functions implemented by the datatypes. For more information on this, see the fromString and toString feature doc.

Permission checking

If you want to bypass the policy system, then remove the conditional check on $accessResult

Code sample

The following code will create a new content object and an initial draft version. It is based on a part of the action view of the content module (kernel/content/action.php).

The known variables

$contentClassIdentifier: identifier of the content class we want to make an object of
$node: the parent node for the new object's main location in the node tree

$class = eZContentClass::fetchByIdentifier( $contentClassIdentifier );
 
if ( is_object( $class ) )
{
    $contentClassID = $class->attribute( 'id' );
    $parentContentObject =& $node->attribute( 'object' );
 
    $accessResult = $parentContentObject->checkAccess( 'create', $contentClassID, $parentContentObject->attribute( 'contentclass_id' ) ); 
 
    if ( $accessResult == '1' )
    {
        include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php' );
        $user =& eZUser::currentUser();
        $userID =& $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' );
        $sectionID = $parentContentObject->attribute( 'section_id' );
 
        include_once( 'lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php' );
        $db =& eZDB::instance();
        $db->begin();
 
        $contentObject =& $class->instantiate( $userID, $sectionID );
        $nodeAssignment = eZNodeAssignment::create( array( 'contentobject_id' => $contentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
                                                           'contentobject_version' => $contentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ),
                                                           'parent_node' => $node->attribute( 'node_id' ),
                                                           'is_main' => 1 ) );
 
        $nodeAssignment->store();
        $db->commit();
    }
}

Now that you have created a new content object, you will probably want to fill it's attributes with data and publish it.

Template logic to find object by node_id or object_id

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:17:46 GMT

Question

How can you 'find' an object, if all that is known is the node_id?

Answer

{{def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', $node.node_id ) )
      $my_object=$my_node.object} 
{$my_node.name|wash}

Template logic to fetch using an attribute filter using the like condition

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:21:51 GMT

We have seen this question asked many times and wanted to ensure this question is simpler to answer in the future

Question

How exactly do you use an attribute filter using the like condition?

Solutions

These solutions have been tested but may not be generic, so some modifications to ids etc may be required.

Filter by Class/Attribute Identifier

{def $c=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', 175,
               depth, 7,
               attribute_filter, array( array( 'article/keywords', 'like', '*string*' ) )
               ) )}
 
{$c|attribute(show,1)}
{$c.0|attribute(show,1)}

Filter by Attribute ID

{def $c=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', 175,
                depth, 7,
                attribute_filter, array( array( 865, 'like', '*string*' ) )
                ) )}

Filter by dynamic string variable

{def $tag='string'}
{def $c=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', 175,
                depth, 7,
                attribute_filter, array( array( 'article/keywords', 'like', concat( '*', $tag, '*' ) ) )
                ) )}

Template logic to display content object tree node locations

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:16:44 GMT

This is a Stub article. Help the eZ Publish community by expanding it!

Question

'Is there any attribute or other way to find out, if an object has more than one locations?'

Solution

The assigned nodes is available on the object.

Here is an example code that lists all the paths to the assigned nodes:

{foreach $node.object.assigned_nodes as $assignednode}
  {$assignednode.path_identification_string} <br />
{/foreach}<span class="line"></span></pre>

The $node variable has the following available information:
https://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...ence/objects/ezcontentobjecttreenode
The $node.object:
https://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn..._8/reference/objects/ezcontentobject

Another Solution

Actually. In your case, you might be able to use the "main_node_only" parameter to the "list" or "tree" fetch to only return the main node of your nodes.
See here:
https://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...modules/content/fetch_functions/list

Reply, "The main_node_only attribute would not work with the particular problem logic I have: I wanted to exclude all "Main Nodes" from the fetch, whose objects are encapsulated by another node (different location)."

Did you know that you can use the eZ Publish kernel api to obtain image alias properties from content object attributes which use the ezimage datatype.

Example

This is a simple php example of how you may use the eZ Publish kernel api to obtain image alias properties. This example comes from a simple example custom module view.

$Module = $Params['Module'];
 
// START
 
// Assume this type of module/view url:
// www.site.com/myextension/mymodule/myview/1234
// 1234 maps to the view parameter, MyNode (eg: $Params["MyNode"])
 
// 0. Include the necessary files -- I would imagine that some are include
 
include_once( 'kernel/common/template.php' );
 
// 1. Create an instance of the database
$db = eZDB::instance();
 
// 2. Query the node via node id
$my_node = eZContentObject::fetchByNodeID( $Params["MyNode"] );
// $my_node = eZContentObject::fetchByNodeID( '86' );
 
// 3. Get a copy of the data_map
$my_node_data_map = $my_node->fetchDataMap();
 
// 4. Get a reference to the image
$my_node_image = $my_node_data_map["image"];
// $my_node_image_data = $my_node_image->DataText;
 
// Example Usage of the eZ Image Alias Handler Class / System
// include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezimage/ezimagealiashandler.php' );
 
// 5. Fetch Alias Handler
$image_alias_handler = new eZImageAliasHandler( $my_node_image );
 
// 6. Fetch Alias Attributes*
 
// 7. Fetch Original Image Path as URI
$my_node_image_uri =  "/" . $image_alias_handler->attributeFromOriginal( 'url' );
 
// 8. Fetch Original Image Dimentions
$my_node_image_width = $image_alias_handler->attributeFromOriginal( 'width' );
$my_node_image_height = $image_alias_handler->attributeFromOriginal( 'height' );
 
// 9. Get the associated link

PHP Snippet Copying objects

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:51:09 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 4.

Code sample

The following code copies an existing object and gives it one location in the node tree. It was taken from the copy view of the content module (kernel/content/copy.php).

The used variables are:

$object: instance of eZContentObject you want to copy
$newParentNodeID: node id of the parent for the new object
$allVersions: true if you want to copy all versions of the object to the new object, false if you only want to copy the currently published version

$db = eZDB::instance();
$db->begin();
$newObject = $object->copy( $allVersions );
 
$curVersion        = $newObject->attribute( 'current_version' );
$curVersionObject  = $newObject->attribute( 'current' );
$newObjAssignments = $curVersionObject->attribute( 'node_assignments' );
unset( $curVersionObject );
 
// remove old node assignments
foreach( $newObjAssignments as $assignment )
{
    $assignment->purge();
}
 
// and create a new one
$nodeAssignment = eZNodeAssignment::create( array(
                                                 'contentobject_id' => $newObject->attribute( 'id' ),

PHP Snippet Adding additional locations for an object

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:47:24 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Compatibility

The code above works with eZ publish 3.8 and 3.9.

Policy checking

You can remove policy checking by removing the conditional structures with $canManageLocations and $canCreate

Code sample

Since eZ publish 3.8, the publish operation doesn't need to be executed anymore when adding new locations for objects which are already in the node tree.

The following code was based on a part of the action view of the content module (kernel/content/action.php). The known variables are:

$node: instance of eZContentObjectTreeNode, which holds the object we want to create new tree leaves for
$selectedNodeIDArray: array with the node ID's of the additional parent nodes

PHP Snippet Logging in a specific user

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:45:42 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 4.

Code sample

The following code will login the user with the login specified by $login. It is especially useful in cronjob scripts when you need sufficient privileges.

$user = eZUser::fetchByName( $login );
$userID = $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' );
eZUser::setCurrentlyLoggedInUser( $user, $userID );

Compatibility

In all recent versions of eZ publish the content/read policy limitation list of the current user gets cached in a global array by eZContentObjectTreeNode. When switching users, this cache isn't cleared. This issue has been reported as bug 8388 at ez.no and fixed in eZ Publish 4.1.x.

For your reference you can workaround this problem by clearing the cache yourself with the following code:

if ( isset( $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list']['content']['read'] ) )
{
    unset( $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list']['content']['read'] );
}

PHP Snippet Moving a node

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:45:16 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 4.

Policy checking

You can remove policy checking by removing the condition with $node->canMoveFrom() && $newParentNode->canMoveTo( $classID ).

Code sample

The following code is based on a part of the action view of the content module (kernel/content/action.php). The known variables are:

$node: the node we're trying to move
$newParentNode: the destination node we want to place our node under

$object = $node->object();
$class = $object->contentClass();
$classID = $class->attribute( 'id' );
 
if ( !in_array( $node->attribute( 'node_id' ), $newParentNode->pathArray() ) )

Template logic to conditionally hide parts of layout using css

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:15:30 GMT

About

Solution which will conditionally hide parts of layout using css while in edit mode.

From: zurgutt

Example

Add this in beginning of pagelayout.tpl

{* define a style by context which can be used to hide elements in each mode (navigation, edit, browse etc.) *}
<style>
.context-hideon-{$module_result.ui_context}
{literal}
{
    display: none;
}
{/literal}
</style>

and then you’ll be able to do something like this

<div id="leftmenu" class="context-hideon-edit">
.. some menu here you dont need while editing content ..
</div>

Can be achieved by overriding templates but hey much cleaner this way.

You could try something like this

{def $second_level_children=array()}
{def $root_node_children=fetch('content', 'list', hash('parent_node_id', 2))}
 
{if gt($root_node_children|count,0)}
<ul>
{foreach $root_node_children as $child}
<li>
<a href={$child.url_alias|ezurl()}>{$child.name|wash()}</a>
{if or(eq($child.node_id,$module_result.node_id),eq($module_result.path.1,$child.node_id))}
{set $second_level_children=fetch('content','list',hash('parent_node_id', $child.node_id))}
{if gt($second_level_children|count,0)}
<ul>
{foreach $second_level_children as $child2}
<li><a href={$child2.url_alias|ezurl()}>{$child2.name|wash()}</a></li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}
{/if}
<li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}

First fetch the elements of the top level, foreach element check if it's the node that is being viewed or if it's one of its children's node. If so, show its children.
The code above has not been tested, but maybe would give you an idea on how to do it.

Template logic to exclude a content object node from menus

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:22:19 GMT

Or, Looking for a way to hide a content?

Problem

I have many folders in the root eZ publish content tree (or elsewhere) which I do not want to be displayed in the menu.

Is there any way to add a folder to to eZ publish without it showing up in the top menus?

Solution

Using the eZ publish administrator, select Setup→Classes.

Edit your folder class and add checkbox called “Show in menu” (show_in_menu) By default checkbox is checked.

Then replace code in 'design/base/templates/menu/double_top.tpl' If you using double top menu.

{section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
                        <li class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}"><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {section-else}
                    <li {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {/section}

With

{section show=$menu.object.data_map.show_in_menu.data_int}
                {section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
                        <li class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}"><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {section-else}
                    <li {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {/section}
        {/section}

If you usign design/base/templates/menu/flat_top menu replace

{section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
                <li class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}"><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {section-else}
                <li {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {/section}

With

{section show=$menu.object.data_map.show_in_menu.data_int}
                {section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
                <li class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}"><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {section-else}
                <li {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}><div class="spacing"><a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></div></li>
                {/section}
{/section}

If show_in_menu flag is set to true (checked) item is show in menu.

Looking for a way to hide a content

Template logic to display fetched parent content object name

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:20:45 GMT

Problem

Is it possible to fetch the name of a parent folder?

Solution

I did this just today, does anyone have some ideas on how i could improve this soluton?

The solution I used was a second fetch to get the current item’s parrent name (in the main fetch’s loop).

Abreviated

{set parent_id=$cnews.parent_node_id}
{set parent=fetch('content','node', hash('node_id', $parent_id , limit, 1 , sort_by, array(array(published, false() )) )) }
{set news_category=$parent.name}

Complete

New Objects: <br />
<span style="font-size: 11px;">
  {set news_id=344}
  {set news_limit=4}
 
  {let recent=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, $news_id, limit, $news_limit, 'class_filter_type', 'include', 'class_filter_array', array( 'article' ) , sort_by, array(array(published, false() )))) }
  {section show=$recent|count|gt(0)}

Template logic to fetch and group results by letter

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:17:05 GMT

Question

I am using fetch and need to use a view_parameter to filter the data ...

Sort. I need to sort the items by first letter (a , b , c , d ...)

Group. I need the items 'grouped' by letter

<awormus> and I didn't want to do a "first letter" attribute which would have been silly :)

Answer

Try using the alphabet navigator features added in 3.9

I prefer this solution these days rather than more custom code.

Template logic to provide users with printable search layout

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:10:50 GMT

Background

I was recently updating an eZ publish search implementation. I noticed that the site design used a print icon in it's page layout, yet sadly it was hard coded to only work on page views which displayed node content. (statically linked to for content view full + node_id).

On page views using the search (displaying results) the printable link naturally did not function and would link to an incomplete url. Leading me to sneaking implementing alternate printable views (other than 'view') like advanced search (results).

Yet I ran into a problem of how to do this the 'eZ' way, this must have been done before (dynamic printable link for alternate module views :\)

The Question

How to detect in $module_result or other template variable when using the '/content/advancedsearch/' module as apposed to 'view'.

Using the above solution, then how would you create a print this page link (#1) which passes the search url parameters to a printer friendly template layout and navigator.

The first answer found

On ez.no and in the demo the printer version link made no sense on search, only printing without results where possible.

Change the code in page_layout_section_xxx.tpl or where else into:

{section show=$enable_print}
{section show=is_set($search_text_enc)}
{section show=is_set($search_contentclass_id)}
<a href={concat('layout/set/print/',$site.uri.tail,'?SearchText=',$search_text_enc,'&SearchContentClassAttributeID=',$search_contentclass_id,'&SearchSectionID=',$search_section_id,'&SearchDate=',$search_date)|ezurl} class="path">{'Printable version'|i18n('design/standard/layout')}</a>
{section-else}
<a href={concat('layout/set/print/',$site.uri.tail,'?SearchText=',$search_text_enc)|ezurl} class="path">{'Printable version'|i18n('design/standard/layout')}</a>
{/section}
{section-else}
<a href={concat("layout/set/print/",$site.uri.tail)|ezurl} class="path">{'Printable version'|i18n('design/standard/layout')}</a>
{/section}
{/section}

A second answer

Do the print with only a css (media=print). It works fine.

Template logic to add edit button into your custom user siteaccess design

Date: 11-16-2005 07:52:30

Question (Rappy): Anyhow, can someone point me to the place where I can read about how to make an edit-button on the site (that is visible when a user with the correct roles are logged in)

Answere (zrg): you have come to the master :) hang on ill give codesnippet. It has the added possibility of limiting number of objects in each class for given usergroup. Its nice for like mini hosting-plan, “you get to make 5 forums, if you want more, $$”. Unfortunately there seems not to be function to CHECK for existence of ini value, so code below will spam error log.. im open to suggestions. Needless to say it only removes creation choice, no actual access security..

This goes to ini in my case to limit Guest users (group 12) to only one blog each (blog container id 31)

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf8"?
 
[PerGroupClassLimits]
ClassLimit_12_31=1

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Compatibility

For all eZ publish versions prior to 3.8, replace

$assignment->purge();

with

$assignment->remove();

Code sample

The following code copies an existing object and gives it one location in the node tree. It was taken from the copy view of the content module (kernel/content/copy.php).

The used variables are:

$object: instance of eZContentObject you want to copy
$newParentNodeID: node id of the parent for the new object
$allVersions: true if you want to copy all versions of the object to the new object, false if you only want to copy the currently published version

include_once( "lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php" );
$db =& eZDB::instance();
$db->begin();
$newObject =& $object->copy( $allVersions );
 
$curVersion        =& $newObject->attribute( 'current_version' );
$curVersionObject  =& $newObject->attribute( 'current' );
$newObjAssignments =& $curVersionObject->attribute( 'node_assignments' );
unset( $curVersionObject );
 
// remove old node assignments
foreach( $newObjAssignments as $assignment )
{
    $assignment->purge();
}
 
// and create a new one
$nodeAssignment = eZNodeAssignment::create( array(

RSS Delete Script - Allows you to limit the amount of RSS data in the system

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:24 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Warning

This script was created for older versions of eZ Publish.

Users of eZ Publish 4.0+ should use BC Cleanup RSS instead.

About

The script runcronjobs.php goes out to all the active incoming RSS feeds in the system to collect content.

The following script ( rssdelete.php) can be added to the runcronjobs list by updating cronjob.ini, and placing the script in cronjobs, set to run immediately after rssimport.php.

It can be controlled through site.ini by setting [RSSSettings] MaxRSSObjects to the maximum number of RSS Objects you want in the system. If you forget to set the value, it will delete all RSS content immediately after import.

Notes:

This retrieves all the RSS nodes sorted in descending order of publication. Thus, the most recent nodes will be returned first. An offset is used to skip the ini setting - so if there are less than that number of elements, no deletion will occur. You can add other filtering. This also disregards the location of the content, so as feeds are created and removed, the code will still run fine.

Script

You can run it on the command line for testing, because runcronjobs can take a while to run.

Thanks to those who posted the code this is based on

Fetching ezimage datatype image alias properties using PHP

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:20 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

This is a Stub article. Help the eZ Publish community by expanding it!

Introduction

Did you know that you can use the eZ Publish kernel api to obtain image alias properties from content object attributes which use the ezimage datatype.

Example

This is a simple php example of how you may use the eZ Publish kernel api to obtain image alias properties. This example comes from a simple example custom module view.

In-memory object cache

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:19 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Clearing the cache

When looping over a big amount of content objects or tree nodes, fetch them in cycles of 100 or less and after each cycle, clear the in-memory object cache:

include_once( 'kernel/classes/ezcontentobject.php' );
eZContentObject::clearCache();

Creating new content object versions with PHP

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:19 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

You can update objects by creating new version and publish the new version.

The code

Known variables

$object, instance of class eZContentObject

Sample

$newVersion =& $object->createNewVersion();
 
$newData =& $object->fetchDataMap( $newVersion->attribute( 'version' ) );
 
// change attributes of new version here, by using $newData data map
 
include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezoperationhandler.php' );
$result = eZOperationHandler::execute( 'content', 'publish', array( 'object_id' => $object->attribute( 'id' ), 'version' => $newVersion->attribute( 'version' ) ) );

Logging in a specific user

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:16 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Code sample

The following code will login the user with the login specified by $login. It is especially useful in cronjob scripts when you need sufficient privileges.

require_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php' );
$user = eZUser::fetchByName( $login );
$userID = $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' );
eZUser::setCurrentlyLoggedInUser( $user, $userID );

Compatibility

You can workaround this problem by clearing the cache yourself with the following code:

if ( isset( $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list']['content']['read'] ) )
{
    unset( $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list']['content']['read'] );
}

Adding additional locations for an object

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:35:14 GMT

This is compatible with eZ Publish 3.

Compatibility

The code above works with eZ publish 3.8 and 3.9.

Policy checking

You can remove policy checking by removing the conditional structures with $canManageLocations and $canCreate

Code sample

Since eZ publish 3.8, the publish operation doesn't need to be executed anymore when adding new locations for objects which are already in the node tree.

The following code was based on a part of the action view of the content module (kernel/content/action.php). The known variables are:

$node: instance of eZContentObjectTreeNode, which holds the object we want to create new tree leaves for
$selectedNodeIDArray: array with the node ID's of the additional parent nodes

$object =& $node->attribute( 'object' );
$objectID = $object->attribute( 'id' );
 
include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php' );

Template operator to strip strings for tags

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 02:51:32 GMT

Question

<Tidemann> is there an operator that strips a string for tags?
<Tidemann> ...or removes images from an ezxml output

Solution

<Bratt> No, but you can make one really simple
 <Bratt> ...by using simpletags()
 <Bratt> Set up this in template.ini: [SimpleTagsOperator], TagList_NoTags[], TagList_NoTags[text]=;;strip_tags
 <Bratt> Then you can use simpletags( 'NoTags' )
 <Tidemann> Bratt: hmm.. nice... haven't seen simpletags before actually
 <Tidemann> Bratt: can I use the method here to enable a-tags too then? https://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/text_block_vs_xml_block_in_forum_topic_tpl/re_text_block_vs_xml_block_q__4
 <Bratt> Sure, just set it up in template.ini
 <Tidemann> cool! thanx!
 <kracker> wow, i wish you would write that into eZpedia ...
<Bratt> Yes, I know.  Took some time before I realized how simple it could be done
<zurgutt> interesting
<Tidemann> Bratt: uhm.. TagList_NoTags[text]=;;strip_tags seems to remove everything
<Tidemann> {$child.data_map.intro.content|simpletags('NoTags')} <-- right?
<Bratt> Tidemann: Yes, that was the point.  If you want to keep a-tags, you need to set that up in template.ini
<Bratt> Add a line something like: TagList_NoTags[text]=<a>;</a>;strip_tags
<Bratt> But I would call it something other than NoTags then
<Bratt> KeepLinks, or whatever
<Tidemann> Bratt: I didn't realise it removed the content of the tag aswell...
<Bratt> Tidemann: A tag includes the content of it :)
<Tidemann> Bratt: hehe..
