Hi!

Maybe someone can help me:
I need an additional input field, when I edit a document. I want to include special CSS files that should only be included into one document. I don't want to put them into the <head> section of the template because they're just used some times and shouldn't be loaded, when they're not needed. I could put it into the particular content into the <body> tags but this doesn't fit with XHTML Strict.

Any idea?

thanks Christoph

*edit:
I imagine something like that:

<html>
<head>
<link src="..." name="..." />
[*additionalCSS*]
</head>

...
</html>

In the backend I can define where those additional files are located

I hope you know what I mean

It's not currently possible, but you could write a snippet that detects the ID of the page and then loads the files that you want....

Ah... That's a good idea. I will create a new Table with the assignments.

I also searched a while an found this topic:
http://www.etomite.c...p?showtopic=809

It seems to be a fix for my problem, but the attached file is not accessable.

That file doesn't work for any version of eto except 0.6.0... and hasn't been available for a looooong time.

I wouldn't go to the hassle of creating tables etc and making extra queries to the database... I'd create a snippet that was along the lines of this:

$id = isset($id) ? $id : $etomite->documentIdentifier;
if(($id=="63") || ($id=="65") || ($id=="66") || ($id=="67") || ($id=="68") || ($id=="69") || ($id=="70") || ($id=="71") || ($id=="72") || ($id=="73") || ($id=="74") || ($id=="75") || ($id=="76") || ($id=="77") || ($id=="78") || ($id=="79")) {
	$output = "this is outputted if id equals any of above";
}
return $output;


just change the numbers to equal the id's that you wish the output to display on.... you can then do different versions for different outputs.

A much more elegant method of implementing Deans code would be...

// the document  document id to check for
 $needle = isset($id) ? $id : $etomite->documentIdentifier;
 
 // the list of valid document id's
 $haystack = array(12,14,17,23,43,55, 58);
 
 if(in_array($needle, $haystack))
 {
   ... do something ...
 }
 else
 {
   ... optionally do something else ...
 }


Another option would be to check for a documents parent if all folder children will use the same styles... There are several ways to locate a documents parent... The easiest way is to use $parent = $etomite->parents[$id];...

What about:

$filePath="templates/optionalcss/";

$fileId=$etomite->documentIdentifier;//or use alias

$file=$fileId.".css"

$output="<link src='".$filePath.$file"' name='".$file."'	 />";
return $output;


Contents of file 26.css:

Quote

/*Optional Css to load for page 26*/
img{
border-color:#000;
}


You could also use the needle - haystack code above to point to a blank css file if not required for the page.

Hey Cris,
Doing it your way, would it mean that every single page'd need a corresponding css file?
If the else bit's removed from ralph's version then blank files wouldn't be needed for non-corresponding pages ;)
Dean :)


If I was doing it, I'd use the following:
// the document  document id to check for
$needle = isset($id) ? $id : $etomite->documentIdentifier;

// the list of valid document id's
$haystack = array(12,14,17,23,43,55, 58);

if(in_array($needle, $haystack))
{
   $output = '<link rel="stylesheet" href="./templates/'.$needle.'.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
}
return $output;

Well, every single page that needed extra css. I guess it really comes down to whether the added code needs to be repeated on several pages or specific to each page. There are so many ways to skin a cat, I guess it's now up to each user to select the skinning tool depending on whether they want a new rug, scarf or entree.

Well I decided to put the files into the <head> - they are not as big as I expected :)

But here my code - it worked well:

// Fell free to copy

$out = "";

$specialPages = array(82, 120);

if (in_array($etomite->documentIdentifier, $specialPages)) {
	$cssAssign = array(
		"82" => "jquery.cluetip.css",
		"120" => "jquery.countdown.css"
	);

	$out .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/steiger4/styles/' . $cssAssign[$etomite->documentIdentifier] . '" />';
}

return $out;
