custom pages [-FROM ?action=NAME -TO NAME.php]

[flipflopmedia]

Hi,

 

I used the wiki custom template instructions to create a details.php page. From the client area, I want to load the page by:

details.php

vs.

clientarea.php?action=details

 

The page loads great, however, the users info is not pre-filled in the form.

 

The reason for this, I want the breadcrumbnav (and corresponding icon images I created for each page) to change for these 'action' called pages. It will only work if it's an actual named page, so I would like to know if there is a way to create a php page for the 'My Details' Page and others? And actually have it work from the database info?

 

Thanks,

Tracy

Possible: yes

Easy: no

 

The easiest way is probably to create a simple script in your header.tpl which shows the right icon.

 

Sample (based on the "default" template):

{if $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "details"}Details Icon
{elseif $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "contacts"}Contact Icon
{elseif $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "changepw"}Change Password Icon
{else}{if "templates/$template/images/$filename.png"|file_exists}<img src="templates/{$template}/images/{$filename}.png" align="right" alt="" />{/if}{/if}

Working with what you gave me, I changed a little and got it to work:

 

{if $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "details"}<img src="templates/custom/images/details.png" align="right" alt="" />

{elseif $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "contacts"}<img src="templates/custom/images/contacts.png" align="right" alt="" />

{elseif $filename eq "clientarea" and $smarty.get.action eq "changepw"}<img src="templates/custom/images/changepw.png" align="right" alt="" />

{elseif "templates/$template/images/$filename.png"|file_exists}<img src="templates/{$template}/images/{$filename}.png" align="right" alt="" />{/if}

 

Notice the last line: combined {elseif versus having it separate with the xtra closing {/if} tag, and it works.

 

Thanks!
