  • IPS Customization.

    While building this website I have learned a lot about how to customiza different aspects of the IPS products. I see a lot of people struggling to get started with IPS and this section is my attempt to gather what I have learned so others can benefit as well.

    To me nothing is more important than to share knowledge and help others. This section contain my findings and the things I have learned, but I still have much more to learn as well. Together we can learn and evolve the ways we customize the IPS products and while doing that there are no stupid questions. In the forum you can ask any question and we will try our best to answer them.

  • Remove (and 5 more) from categories widget block

    The categories widget block will collapse the number of subcategories if there are more than 5 subcategories. This can be fixed by changing the code quite easily.

    This is the code for the category widget block:

    {{$catClass = '\IPS\cms\Categories' . \IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::i()->databaseId;}}
    {{$categories = $catClass::roots();}}
    {{if !empty( $categories )}}
    	<h3 class='ipsWidget_title ipsType_reset'>{lang="categories"}</h3>
    	<div class='ipsSideMenu ipsAreaBackground_reset ipsPad_half'>
    		<ul class='ipsSideMenu_list'>
    			{{foreach $categories as $category}}
    				<li>
    					<a href="{$category->url()}" class='ipsSideMenu_item ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line'><span class='ipsBadge ipsBadge_style1 ipsPos_right'>{expression="\IPS\cms\Records::contentCount( $category )"}</span><strong class='ipsType_normal'>{$category->_title}</strong></a>
    					{{if $category->hasChildren()}}
    						<ul class="ipsSideMenu_list">
    							{{foreach $category->children() as $idx => $subcategory}}
    								<li>
    									{{if $idx >= 5}}
    										<a href='{$category->url()}' class='ipsSideMenu_item'><span class='ipsType_light ipsType_small'>{lang="and_x_more" sprintf="count( $category->children() ) - 5"}</span></a>
    										{{break;}}
    									{{else}}
    										<a href="{$subcategory->url()}" class='ipsSideMenu_item ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line'><strong class='ipsPos_right ipsType_small'>{expression="\IPS\cms\Records::contentCount( $subcategory )"}</strong>{$subcategory->_title}</a>
    									{{endif}}
    								</li>
    							{{endforeach}}
    						</ul>
    					{{endif}}
    				</li>
    			{{endforeach}}
    		</ul>
    		<p class='ipsType_center'>
    			<a href='{$url->setQueryString('show','categories')}' class=''>{lang="cms_show_categories"} &nbsp;<i class='fa fa-caret-right'></i></a>
    		</p>
    	</div>
    {{endif}}

    In this code you will see this snippet:

    {if $idx >= 5}}
    <a href='{$category->url()}' class='ipsSideMenu_item'><span class='ipsType_light ipsType_small'>{lang="and_x_more" sprintf="count( $category->children() ) - 5"}</span></a>
    {{break;}}
    {{else}}
    <a href="{$subcategory->url()}" class='ipsSideMenu_item ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line'><strong class='ipsPos_right ipsType_small'>{expression="\IPS\cms\Records::contentCount( $subcategory )"}</strong>{$subcategory->_title}</a>
    {{endif}}

    This is what control the behavior so all we need to do is to remove the top part of this and the ending endif. This will look like this:

    {{$catClass = '\IPS\cms\Categories' . \IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::i()->databaseId;}}
    {{$categories = $catClass::roots();}}
    {{if !empty( $categories )}}
    	<h3 class='ipsWidget_title ipsType_reset'>{lang="categories"}</h3>
    	<div class='ipsSideMenu ipsAreaBackground_reset ipsPad_half'>
    		<ul class='ipsSideMenu_list'>
    			{{foreach $categories as $category}}
    				<li>
    					<a href="{$category->url()}" class='ipsSideMenu_item ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line'><span class='ipsBadge ipsBadge_style1 ipsPos_right'>{expression="\IPS\cms\Records::contentCount( $category )"}</span><strong class='ipsType_normal'>{$category->_title}</strong></a>
    					{{if $category->hasChildren()}}
    						<ul class="ipsSideMenu_list">
    							{{foreach $category->children() as $idx => $subcategory}}
    								<li>
    									
    										<a href="{$subcategory->url()}" class='ipsSideMenu_item ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line'><strong class='ipsPos_right ipsType_small'>{expression="\IPS\cms\Records::contentCount( $subcategory )"}</strong>{$subcategory->_title}</a>
    									
    								</li>
    							{{endforeach}}
    						</ul>
    					{{endif}}
    				</li>
    			{{endforeach}}
    		</ul>
    		<p class='ipsType_center'>
    			<a href='{$url->setQueryString('show','categories')}' class=''>{lang="cms_show_categories"} &nbsp;<i class='fa fa-caret-right'></i></a>
    		</p>
    	</div>
    {{endif}}
