This discussion is related to the Custom Pages addon.

I just need to add the default panel to the custom page. Can anyone help please ?

I need an answer as well. How can I get categories for a side panel within custom pages?

Would appreciate an assist with this too, please. And thank you.

AfaIk in the default.master.php it is this line that calls it :

<div id="Panel"><?php $this->RenderAsset('Panel'); ?></div>

So I guess that, or some version of it, might do the trick.

@whu606 no.. its not working :(

sahotataran · January 2012

did you try AddModule function?

$Sender->AddModule('SignInModule'); $Sender->AddModule('GuestModule'); ?????

Chanux · January 2012

@sahotataran steps please

sahotataran · January 2012

just use it anywhere in your custom page. will add that module to the page. if it works. cant try it right now. can try it tomorrow if u can wait till then :D

i just ran a test... it works

$this->AddModule('CategoriesModule');

will cause the Categories list to display on a custom page in the panel.

@Chanux if you want custom content in the panel, you will have to write a custom plugin as a module. Look at other plugins that create modules for guidelines.

test page

please give me the code that insert to the custom page

hbf · January 2012

the code is

$this->AddModule('CategoriesModule');

newbie · January 2012

Where do I put this code in the custom page? The only php I have on that page is: <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?>

Do I put it here: <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); $this->AddModule('CategoriesModule'); ?>

I tried that and I got bonked.

sahotataran · January 2012

i use

$this->AddModule('CategoriesModule'); $this->AddModule('SignedInModule');

and works for me

doest work for me,

getting this error

Could not find a categories view for the CategoriesModule module in the dashboard application. The error occurred on or near: C:\wamp\www\pinoyau.info\library\core\class.module.php

so i had to tap on the code and add below in library/core/class.module.php line 170 $ViewPaths[] = CombinePaths(array(PATH_APPLICATIONS, 'vanilla', 'views', 'modules', $View . '.php'));

tried assigning the path to method FetchViewLocation but still doesnt work, the FetchViewLocation method being called is from class class.controller.php not from the class.module.php.

hbf · January 2012

interesting. i just ran the most basic test i could think of and it works.


<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?>
<?php

$this->AddModule('CategoriesModule');

?>

here is the page in action.

@hbf did the same thing, could there be conflicting plugin on my end?

hbf · January 2012

@aolee im not sure what could create a conflict. do you have debugging turned on for your site? want to post a link?

hbf · January 2012

the only immediate thing i can say is, my test is being run on an apache, not wamp server... don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Aolee · January 2012

@hbf nope have debug turned off, no other error even if it's turned on. unless i add the $this->AddModule('CategoriesModule'); getting the said error above.

yes mine also sits on a linux box (LAMP).

Many thanks hbf, I really appreciate your effort helping us with this kind of matter :)

hbf · January 2012

if you're on a Linux LAMP server this line from your error message is perplexing

The error occurred on or near: C:\wamp\www\pinoyau.info\library\core\class.module.php

That looks like a windows WAMP install path to me.

and, you're welcome of course. I'm just learning the framework myself so I don't have a ton of answers, but I like to try where I can. I'm finding that this framework is pretty easy to work with.

ah for that one, tried it both in my linux hosting and also in local dev (WAMP) but getting the same error. i have the gutsy feeling a custom made plugin is causing the OOP relation to break. will try it in a freshly installed vanilla .

newbie · January 2012

Let me know how it goes.

I've tried the above and I just get bonked lol.

newbie · January 2012

Could be the theme rather than the plug in.

sahotataran · January 2012

can you check what error you r getting @newbie rather than saying its bonk - then can try to help out with it.

enable the debug to TRUE then paste here the error. or screenshot

may be late, but i say, to avoid this error

Could not find a categories view for the CategoriesModule module in the dashboard application. The error occurred on or near: C:\wamp\www\pinoyau.info\library\core\class.module.php

copy categories.php from application/vanilla/views/modules to YOURTHEME/views/modules

Howdy, Stranger!
