[midgard-user] HELP: Applying multiple styles on one website

[Seppo Sahi-2]

Hi!

I have created following styles with Aegir.

  Styles for MyCo:
   |
   |-Welcome page
   |
   |-Sub page (dynamicnavi on left)
      |-Two columns
      |-Three columns

I would like to have "Welcome page" style on welcome page and different
"Sub page (dynamicnavi on left)" variations on content pages. I use
MidCOM AIS to assign different styles for topics/articles but seems like
it does not have any effect. The site always uses the style that is
defined in Aegir -> Websites -> MyCo web -> Details -> Style. I have
checked out from Spider-Admin that style really gets updated.

Am I doing something wrong? or maybe misunderstund how styles should be
used :)

I'm quite new with Midgard and I really appreciate all help you can
give!

If you're using Aegir and don't see the changes, remember to
flush/disable MidCOM cache of that site. This is just a precaution,
since AIS flushes it automagically and if you select the component style
in AIS it should be immediately visible.

Flushing is done by simply visiting the uri
www.example.net/midcom-cache-invalidate and you can check the settings
from www.example.net/midcom-admin/settings/ to disable the cache if
you're using a small site with low amount of visits or if the site isn't
yet in production and you're building it.

Then the next is to try to give some 'hello world' echoing on styles.
I'll go through the basics so that there is no part missed:

1) MidCOM styles that you choose for components are used only where the
style element <(content)> is used in either element <(ROOT)> or
elsewhere in style elements. This means that you can't override the
style you have determined for the site by selecting a style for the
component.

2) Remember that components use spesific style elements (eg.
'de.linkm.taviewer' uses element 'show-article' and
'de.linkm.newsticker' uses 'show-detail' for similar purpose) - if your
styles (eg. your 'Sub page') don't have the right elements, there will
be nothing to show. Depending on the component you need to have the
spesific style elements that you override. Besides having the newest,
MidCOM CVS has also list of component spesific elements
(http://midcom.tigris.org/ - which wasn't answering just a moment ago...)

3) If you're certain you have done things right so far, flush cache as
described above and disable it if necessary.

Since you're willing to have dynamic navigation on left side if _not_ on
the frontpage, you can make a small if statement. Depending on MidCOM
version, you have many alternatives. Here's two ways I'd do it:

// Slower, yet less error prone in sense of using suffixed site
// structure
if ($GLOBALS['midcom_site']['nap']->get_current_node() ===
$GLOBALS['midcom_site']['nap']->get_root_node())
{
    // Do things in here
}

// Faster, yet you might have to manually determine which $argv level is
// the right one. print_r($argv) to see what it has, it might be useful
// also in other places.
if (array_key_exists(0, $argv))
{
    // Do things in here
}

I'd also place this if statement in ROOT-element the site uses.

I hope this helped. :)

No problem.

I'm trying to create no.odindata.quickform by AIS. Creating the component
works ok but I get HTTP error 500 when I try to use "create item" in order
to create a new form. After this user can see a default form with name,
email and comment fields on the site but admin can't see the created form in
AIS.

Does anyone know what is going on? Is there any docs about the quickform
component?

I attached my midcom log below (sorry about it's length).

My environment:
  Midgard 1.7.0
  PHP 4.3.10-16
  MidCOM 2.4.5
  MidCOM template 2005.07.18
  Aegir 1.0.3
  SpiderAdmin 1.4.0-RC2
  Mysql 4.0.24

PS. Thanks for Arttu for the reply to my questions concerning styles!

I've been encountering the same and come up with the human reasons: I
reckon this was the first component written by Tarjei and I have simply
presumed that he never intended to use that 'create item'.

How is it, Tarjei? Does that 'create item' have any actual use? It would
be handy to develope (I also have some ideas in my sleeves that I could
try to implement) the component so that sent forms could be optionally
saved.

Some of these ideas are:

- using style engine to give hands on the output www-form (send-form)
- configurable message headers (character encoding etc)
- handling of 'datatype' => 'multiselect'
- *not* using datamanager stylesheet, which breaks many things

> PS. Thanks for Arttu for the reply to my questions concerning styles!

NP. Did you manage to get ahead with it? I presume so, since you weren't
asking more questions. :)

So is there any workarounds? I mean how do I create a custom web form that
would e.g. contain fields for name, age, affiliation etc..?

Eventually I did (YES!) :) Your answer was very informative so thank you! It
just took a while for a newbie like me to grasp everything. I think that it
is a quite common misunderstanding for a newbie to think that the styles
chosen in AIS could be used to control the whole outlook of the site.

I was mocking the wrong tree - it's ais.css that overrides fonts and
doesn't stay on its own property. datamanager.css stays mainly where
it's supposed to stay.

Sure. You should write a config and a schema (I hope this is already
familiar) for the component and place (at least) the 'config' to snippet
directory '/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform/'. Everything that is
in the schema will be (unless otherwise spesified with 'aisonly' or
'hidden') used in the form.

If you are needing help with writing a schema, just say so.

That is correct.

No it doesn't. I think the last version of midcom (2.4.6) has a updated version
that cleans it up and away.

this is possible. One example:
http://www.odinsystemer.no/no/kurs

I'm planning to use the styleengine for the email output as well in 2.6.

this should be in the configuration part of the midcom.

Yep, that's a point.

I presume it is datamanager which also includes in <(css-extra)>
stylesheet 'ais.css'. This stylesheet overrides things like font, font
size and such. /me doesn't approve.

I'm not familiar with configuring a component. So I think we have to
start from the basics. I have now the
'/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform/' snippet directory. I know
that I can find the default configuration in
'../midcom/lib/no/odindata/quickform/config' directory in my local
filesystem. What do I have to do then?
  1. What is the purpose of each file in the local filesystem?
  2. Where do I put the modified version under the
'/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform/' snippet directory?
  3. What should be the format of each file? A pointer to some reference
would be nice.

Then I wonder if this customized configuration is sitegroup specific.
How do I create two different forms in the same sitegroup?

Thanks for help again ;)

You don't. Use eg. 'snippets' leaf in Aegir instead. I wrote a quick
entry for the documentation in
https://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/midcom-component-configuration/

In nutshell:

1) log into Aegir
2) go to snippets -leaf
3) create snippet directories '/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform'
4) create snippet 'config'
5) copy and paste the original config
   - change the schema path to what you want to
   - with experience I'd recommend to use
     '/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform' for the path
6) write schema
   - you can use the original schema as a guideline
   - rule of thumb: if you don't know what 'location' to specify, use
     'parameter'

Eclipse might be one tool that might help when browsing through
component schemas, styles and such. I was writing in the summertime a
bit of a small tutoria to explain some parts of schemas, yet the work
was left on the table. It's *very* incomplete, but can be found in

http://www.kaktus.cc/midgard/schema/

'no.odindata.quickform' has in 'component configuration' a place where
you can enter the schema path if you don't want to use the default.

BTW, if you want to get a local tutor, you can also contact me. My
office is in Matinkyl?, so we could also sit down and take a look under
the skirt of MidCOM.
