[farcry-dev] Re: Load site tree

[Blair McKenzie]

1) For semi-permanent links you can set up an alias on the navigation item, and use #application.navid.youralias# to get the url.
2) If you want to allow the user to select a navigation item like from a drop down list, you could use code like what is used in the quick site builder to select the starting point:

<cfscript>

o = createObject("component", "#application.packagepath#.farcry.tree");
qNodes = o.getDescendants (dsn=application.dsn, objectid=application.navid.root);

</cfscript>
<select name="startPoint" id="startPoint">

<option value="#application.navid.root#">#application.adminBundle[session.dmProfile.locale].Root#</option>
<cfloop query="qNodes">

<option value="#qNodes.objectId#" <cfif qNodes.objectId eq application.navid.home>selected</cfif>>#RepeatString("&nbsp;&nbsp;|", qNodes.nlevel)#- #qNodes.objectName#</option>

</cfloop>

</select>

3) You can also use the object picker in the widgets tag library which opens a popup that lists all of a given type (though it won't show the tree structure and the gui is a little bit buggy):

<cfimport taglib="/farcry/farcry_core/tags/widgets" prefix="widgets">
<widgets:objectPicker typename="dmNavigation" fieldname="link" fieldlabel=" #application.adminBundle[session.dmProfile.locale].linkLabel#" fieldvalue="#output.link#">

That's not very clear. Are you talking about the website or custom admin code? And what exactly are you trying to link to?

Hi

 

Using Farcry 3 and have a news item that needs to have a load site tree button for linking back to main site navigation if required.  Curently just have a standard form output for manual input of link

 

<label for="">#application.adminBundle[session.dmProfile.locale].linkLabel#</b>
    <input type="text" name="link" id="link" value="#output.link#" maxlength="255" /><br />
</label>

 

Link would look like

 

index.cfm?objectId=4C8B36A5-40CA-68F8-EC192A9CC08DC977

 

but load site tree would be more convenient for user, is there a widget for this functionality?

 

Thx

Mark
