Read keyword from article

The variable $content['all_keywords'] (or $GLOBALS['content']['all_keywords'] if used in functions ) supplies the Keywords of the current article.

E.g.: Write the keywords into an array:

$keywords_array = convertStringToArray($GLOBALS['content']['all_keywords']);

E.g.: Forum Css eines Artikels ändern [DE]

A special CSS formatting for an article:

Question:

“If I liked to indicate a special css for only one article , where will I do that? > > For explanation, I would like to have individual articles with a dark instead of a bright page background.”

Answer:

“I would work with a special keyword by using a frontend_render script to trigger it accordingly. Set the keyword “*CSS-dark*” into the appropriate fiel dof the article. When rendering is checked out the <body> tag is enhanced by the corresponding class. This normally can be defined via CSS.”

frontend_init

if(strpos($content['all_keywords'], '*CSS-dark*') !== false) {
   $template_default['body']['class'] = 'dark level-';
   $content['all_keywords'] = str_replace('*CSS-dark*', '', $content['all_keywords']);
}
?>

CSS:

body.dark {
  background-color: #666666;
}

Attention - the class(es) “dark level-” were selected intentionally in such a way, since still additionally the level ID is given.

New tag {LEVELX_ID}

Update 25.06.2009: Revision: r317

Now it is possible to select the current category ID related to the level.

Have a look: Standard tags assembled

GET variable set and read

Example: The variable is called “cpimage” and is containing an integer value.

Preparing the address:

    $site         = $GLOBALS['phpwcms']['site'].$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['root'];
    $cat_alias    = $GLOBALS['content']["struct"][$GLOBALS['content']["cat_id"]]["acat_alias"];
    $href_str    = $site.'index.php?'.$cat_alias;
    $get_str    = 'cpimage=';

Set variable:

z.B. http://my_site.tld/index.php?active_category&cpimage=34

$my_number = 34;
 
$my_complete_link = $href_str.'&'.$get_str.$my_number; // http://my_site.tld/index.php?active_category&cpimage=34

Read variable:

// Is there a GET var?
if (isset($GLOBALS['_getVar']['cpimage'])) {
 
    $GLOBALS['_getVar']['cpimage'] = intval($GLOBALS['_getVar']['cpimage']);  // Convert to integer
    $cpImgNr = $GLOBALS['_getVar']['cpimage'];
}
else    $cpImgNr = false;  // if there is no GET var set it to false

The integer value in $cpImgNr can be processed now, but should be checked prior to “false”.

Use as tag:

    {PHPVAR:$GLOBALS['_getVar']['cpimage']}

CP News in Detail View

Check if a news CP is in the detail view:

    if(isset($_getVar['newsdetail'])) { .....
