[AJAX-TreeMenu] ezodcsm extension discussion

Monday 27 March 2006 12:00:16 am

Im getting these errors:

Missing function definition file for module: odcsm
Cannot execute module 'odcsm', no module found
Cannot execute function 'fetch_open_nodes' in module 'odcsm', no valid data

Does anyone have a clue as to my problem with the missing context sensitive menus as described earlier? I am running eZ 3.7.4.

Monday 27 March 2006 6:10:53 am

I am running IE 6.0 on Windows. Java is ver. 1.5.0. There are no error messages as far as I can see, the menus just dont pop up. If I deinstall ezodcsm, the popup menus work right away...

:-(

Thank you for your reply, Paul

I have now tried with FireFox. Unfortunately, there is no error message in the Javascript Console

Could it be that ezodcsm is incompatible with either eZ 3.7.4 or Java 1.5.0?

Are you confusing java with javascript?

Yes, I am... ;-)

1. Great work Daniel :-) This extension is a great improvement on the built-in eZ publish functionality, which is next to useless for medium to large sites.

2. It would be great to have a separate forum to discuss this extension, as there are a lot of threads here. [Is anyone going to help poor Bobo?]

3. Seems to be an incomparability (bug) with site.ini setting [TemplateSettings]:Debug. [I have this enabled for all the development copies of our eZ publish sites.] When the '+' button is clicked nothing happens. Unless [TemplateSettings]:ShowXHTMLCode is also enabled, in which case I see "extension/ezodcsm/design/admin/templates/contentstructuremenu/show_dynamic_content_structure.tpl' in place of each menu object that is a child of the object for which '+' was clicked.

4. Regarding your post dated Wednesday 02 November 2005 11:43:51 am: All your options sound excellent. I will soon be needing to implement something along the line of the third option, "Adding an logic that can be configured to hide nodes in the tree on specific criteria". I will probably need to block a list of specific node ids as well as certain classes.

I also very much like the idea of virtual folders (eg. grouped by first letter in title) for long lists of objects. Need to make it as clear as possible (visually) that these are virtual, otherwise the poor site admins/webmasters will get very confused with apparent difference in content hierarchy.

Hi David,

that looks just great. Lucky this isn't in pubsvn, yet - otherwise I wouldn't get any sleep to night, checking our new features out ;)

Looking forward to grap this code from svn!

Greetings, Daniel.

<b>Include ezodcsm menu outside of paylayout.tpl template</b>

Errors relating to undefined varaibles $module_result and $ui_context appear when the menu is included in a template other than the pagelayout.tpl template. This is because these variables are only available in the pagelayout.tpl template. :-)

To resolve the $ui_context related error: add 'ui_context="navigation"' to the include statement in the template file. eg.

{include uri="design:contentstructuremenu/content_structure_menu.tpl" ui_context="navigation"}

To resolve the $module_result related errors, I have had to modify extension/ezodcsm/design/standard/templates/contentstructuremenu/dynamic_content_structure_menu.tpl

For what it's worth, my changes are as follows:
1. Before long list of {let} statements add:

{def $current_node_id=2}
{if is_set($module_result.node_id)}
	{set $current_node_id=$module_result.node_id}
{elseif is_set($node.node_id)}
	{set $current_node_id=$node.node_id}
{/if}

{def $path_node_ids = array()}
{if is_set($module_result.path)}
	{foreach $module_result.path as $path_infos}
		{set $path_node_ids = $path_node_ids|append($path_infos.node_id)}
	{/foreach}
{elseif is_set($node.path_array)}
	{set $path_node_ids = $node.path_array}
{/if}

2. Modify:

    nodesList  = fetch(odcsm,fetch_open_nodes,hash(node_id,$module_result.node_id))}

to:

     nodesList  = fetch(odcsm,fetch_open_nodes,hash(node_id,$current_node_id))}

3. Modify:

        {section var=path loop=$module_result.path}
            {section show=and(is_set($:path.node_id), or($:isDepthUnlimited, $:maxDepth|gt(0)))}
                nodesList.push( "n{$:path.node_id}" );
                {set maxDepth = dec($:maxDepth)}
            {/section}
        {/section}

to:

        {section var=path_node_id loop=$path_node_ids}
            {section show=or($:isDepthUnlimited, $:maxDepth|gt(0))}
                nodesList.push( "n{$path_node_id}" );
                {set maxDepth = dec($:maxDepth)}
            {/section}
        {/section}

And now we all wait for the visionWT improvements??
Great, looking forward to some speed improvements.. :)

Btw: Are someone using HideClasses[] with 1.0.8 and know for sure that they work ?

Hi Paul

I would be happy to contribute to the public Subversion repository, but couldn't find this project there. Has it been imported yet? If, so, could you please post a link to the appropriate access page? Thanks.
