Simple, but not working

[blakeys]

Hi,

I am using a template form Gavick. It has a style switcher in the footer. I would like to move this to be a bit f a feature in the left hand column.
I tried to move just the HTML, and the switcher does work but does not save the changed style as a cookie unless the footer style switcher is enabled. That would be OK except that uses IDs not classes and make the page fail validation.
So I decided to try and add it with the PHP script. Unfortunately Joomla takes that out. So now I found Jumi! I create a custom module, add the code, but then I just get an error message.

Please help me. I have very little understanding of PHP. I feel that this is a simple request but I am just stupid and don't know any other way.
My development website:
http://www.emw8.com/
All the code in the footer. Theme/layouts/blocks/footer.php

Code: Select all

<div id="gk-footer" class="clearfix main">
   <?php if($this->countModules('footer_nav')) : ?>
   <div id="gk-footer-nav">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="footer_nav" style="none" />
   </div>      
   <?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->getParam('stylearea', 1)) : ?>
   <div id="stylearea">
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Green</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Red</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>   
   
   <div id="gk-copyright">
      <?php

         if (($mobile = $this->mobile_device_detect())) :
            $handheld_view = $this->getParam('ui');
            $switch_to = $handheld_view=='desktop'?'default':'desktop';
            $text = $handheld_view=='desktop'?'Mobile Version':'Desktop Version';
      ?>

         <a class="gk-tool-switchlayout" href="<?php echo JURI::base()?>?ui=<?php echo $switch_to?>" title="<?php echo JText::_($text)?>"><span><?php echo JText::_($text)?></span></a>

      <?php endif ; ?>
      <?php echo $this->_tpl->params->get("footer_content"); ?>
   </div>
</div>

All I would like to do is get the right code I need, place it in a simple Jumi module, and it to work!

here is the code that I tried to place i the Jumi 'code written' field:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->getParam('stylearea', 1)) : ?>
   <div id="stylearea">
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Green</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Red</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>   

Thanks, CB

I'm not sure, but probably you need to use this code instead

Code: Select all

<?php
$template =& JFactory::getTemplate();
if($template->getParam('stylearea', 1)) :
?>
   <div id="stylearea">
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Green</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Red</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>
   </div>
<?php endif; ?>

That doesn't work either. I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JTemplate::getParam() in /var/www/vhosts/emw8.com/httpdocs/modules/mod_jumi/tmpl/default.php(12) : eval()'d code on line 3

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks, CB

Try this:

Code: Select all

<?php
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
if($document->params->getParam('stylearea', 1)) :
?>
   <div id="stylearea">
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Green</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Red</a>
      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>
   </div>
<?php endif; ?>

Now I get this error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 1 by reference in /var/www/vhosts/emw8.com/httpdocs/modules/mod_jumi/tmpl/default.php(12) : eval()'d code on line 3

What do you get using this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
echo '<pre>', print_r($document, true), '</pre>';

Code: Select all

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open '/var/www/vhosts/emw8.com/httpdocs/cache/mod_novasfh/tmp/thb_lappys2.jpg' for writing in /var/www/vhosts/emw8.com/httpdocs/modules/mod_novasfh/helper.php on line 639

That and a whole lot of code that's in the module. http://www.emw8.com/

I really appreciate the help. TY, CB

That is completely another error. You shouldn't see errors, you will see the document object dump.

Well that error is something to do with the flash gallery on the homepage - permissions problem that i've just fixed. The style switcher is still not showing as intended.

What should I do?

Hi,

I managed to find a fix, that I thin is OK. It didn't evolve Jumi. I tried this module for something else and I couldn't get it to work. Maybe my understaning of PHP us too little, but I just don't understand it.

Thanks anyway.

IMO - ur module doesnt work!
