Jquery and Smarty

[joedavis]

I am working on templating WHMCS to fit my site design. I use a CMS for my main site and it generates my site menu. I am using Jquery to load the menu into the WHMCS template so I don't have to modify the template each time something changes on the site menu. This works quite well except on pages with forms because Smarty is used in the form action.

 

Here is what I have in the header.tpl file for pulling in my site menu:

<script type="text/javascript">
{literal}
 $(document).ready(function(){
  $("#LoadSiteMenu").load("http://i7media.net/sitemap.aspx #wrapsitemenu");
 });
{/literal}
</script>

 

On pages that have forms such as the Client Area Details, the site menu just doesn't appear. I don't get any errors.

 

You can view the site at http://i7media.net/clients.

 

Thanks,

Joe

I figured it out. It had nothing to do with smarty. FF was not showing the content because I was using a non-ssl url to load the menu. On non ssl pages, this works fine but on ssl pages it doesn't. Anyway, to fix it I did the following:

 

{if $smarty.server.HTTPS eq "on"}
<link href='https://i7media.net/Data/Sites/1/skins/i7MEDIA/csshandler.ashx?skin=i7MEDIA' type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' />
	<script type="text/javascript">
	{literal}
		  $(document).ready(function(){
		    $("#LoadSiteMenu").load("https://i7media.net/sitemap.aspx #wrapsitemenu");
	      });
	{/literal}
</script>
{else} 
<link href='http://i7media.net/Data/Sites/1/skins/i7MEDIA/csshandler.ashx?skin=i7MEDIA' type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' />
	<script type="text/javascript">
	{literal}
		  $(document).ready(function(){
		    $("#LoadSiteMenu").load("http://i7media.net/sitemap.aspx #wrapsitemenu");
		    });
	{/literal}
</script>
{/if}

 

IT WORKS!!!!

Nice to see that someone actually posts what they did to sort out a problem. Instead of just saying, i fixed it.

This is a really good idea.

I like the idea of loading the menu like that.
