Symphony.

It's possible? Have some Extension? Have some Field like Select to set on admin to redirect index to this page?

Sample:

Navigation (not hidden): Film, Photos, About, Contact

When access the index, redirect to one of these navigation selected in somewhere.

Thanks,

Sorry, I am not sure I understand what you mean. There are two places I can imagine you're asking about:

1. Root page: You go to http://www.yoursite.com/ and want to see one of the index pages or a special page you've created
2. Any page: You go to http://www.yoursite.com/film/ and want to see an index of all entries of a section represented on that page, possibly with links to subpages like http://www.yoursite.com/film/item/your-film/

@phoque, sorry if I'm not being clear.

You access http://www.mysite.com/ and will redirect to, as sample: http://www.mysite.com/film. So the site owner have a section like home with one field listing (maybe a select) the navigation itens (/photo, /film, /about, /contact) and he can select and save.

The owner don't want have a Home Page, =/

Make sense?

How would you know what page to redirect the visitor to? Redirects can be easily handled in the .htaccess file.

Ah I see, a way for your client to define what page he wants as his/her homepage.

I'd say a combination of a "dumb page", a custom DataSource and a Section using a static Select Box field.

First off, create a Section "Homepage" with a Select Box field. Preset all possible values in the Section editor. Then create a DataSource "Homepage Redirect", pulling from Section "Homepage" and attach it to a new page /home/. Set the type of that page to index.

Now comes the tricky part. You have to manipulate the DataSource PHP. Take a look into workspace/data-sources/. You should see a file data.homepage.php in there.

First, set the returnvalue of public function allowEditorToParse() to false to prevent Symphony from overwriting your changes.

Then, at the very bottom of public function grab(&$param_pool=NULL) you need to insert something similar to

header("Location: " + $result->getChildrenByName('entry')->getChildrenByName('homepage')->getAttribute('handle'));
die();

Mind you that code line is completely off the top of my head, I have no idea how your $result variable will look like. You'll have to do a var_dump($result) to find what exact part of the result you're looking for.

So what we've done here is take a regular DataSource that pulls from one of our Sections and have modified it to do something with the resulting XML before we're sending it to the XML-pool and before we're doing any XSLT with it. In our case, we're doing a redirect by sending a Location: x header to the client.

Cool, I will try and back you. Thanks.

Hi @phoque, I'm trying like you told, but I don't have know how to continue: I have this code:

$result = new XMLElement($this->dsParamROOTELEMENT);
var_dump($result);

And the dump is returning:

object(XMLElement)#21 (13) {
    ["_name:private"]=> string(13) "home-redirect"
    ["_value:private"]=> NULL
    ["_attributes:private"]=> array(0) { }
    ["_children:private"]=> array(0) { }
    ["_processingInstructions:private"]=> array(0) { }
    ["_dtd:private"]=> NULL
    ["_encoding:private"]=> string(5) "utf-8"
    ["_version:private"]=> string(3) "1.0"
    ["_elementStyle:private"]=> string(3) "xml"
    ["_includeHeader:private"]=> bool(false)
    ["_selfclosing:private"]=> bool(true)
    ["_allowEmptyAttributes:private"]=> bool(true)
    ["_placeValueAfterChildElements:private"]=> bool(false)
}

And Title "Home", no errors so =)

And the ?debug is: http://beta.marciotoledo.com/?debug

The method, you show me getChildrenByName is not being recognized.

Looks like you're fetching the content of $result too soon. You have to do it right before the value is being returned:

var_dump($result);
return $result;

Also please note that viewing the result of var_dump is much more readable when viewing the HTML-sourcecode, not what your Browser is trying to render.

@phoque Perfect explain nice tip about HTML Source hehehe.
I will try, I updated my previous comment with ?debug url. It's running fine.

@phoque, here is the new dump of $result and below the php code I trying.

http://beta.marciotoledo.com/

var_dump($result);
header("Location: /" + $result->getChildrenByName('home-redirect')->getChildrenByName('entry')->getChildrenByName('redirect-to')->getChildrenByName('item')->getAttribute('handle'));
die();
return $result;

Try something like:

foreach($result->getChildrenByName('entry') as $entry){
    if($homepage = $entry->getChildrenByName('homepage')) {
        header("Location: " + $homepage->getAttribute('handle'));
    }
}

Make sure it's $homepage == $entry (double equals sign) or it'll probably always be true!

Hi @Lewis, thanks. But same error. I try change the 'homepage' to home-redirect, redirect-to, item, etc.. and nothing.

This stopped erros:

var_dump($result);
foreach($result->getChildrenByName('entry') as $entry){
   if($redirect = $entry->getChildrenByName('item')) {
      header("Location: /" + $redirect->getAttribute('handle'));
      echo ($redirect->getAttribute('handle'));
   }
}
die();

@nickdunn and @Lewis I don't know where the $homepage is defined.

But the redirect is not working yet, I don't understand how to allow the attribute, I don't know manipulate the xml using php. The $result is dumping here: http://beta.marciotoledo.com/

Need get the photo handle string and put on location redirect, I tested using header('Location: /photo'); die(); and works fine.

How I reach this node/attribute ?
object(XMLElement)#35 (13) { ["_name:private"]=> string(4) "item" ["_value:private"]=> string(5) "Photo" ["_attributes:private"]=> array(1) { ["handle"]=> string(5) "photo" }

In this $result: http://beta.marciotoledo.com/

@phoque, do you have an idea? Thanks for all, I think is closer to run hehe

Marcio, I checked on the error above and getChildrenByName() is actually getChildren(). It also appears that you cannot chain these these methods (at least that is what some quick tests taught me). Also, it looks like you're using a select box; the following code should work:

foreach($result->getChildren('entry') as $entry){
    foreach($entry->getChildren('redirect-to') as $parent) {
        foreach($parent->getChildren('item') as $item){
            header("Location: " + $item->getAttribute('handle'));
        }           
    }
}

Let us know if that works, we'll get it right sooner or later :-)

Make sure it's $homepage == $entry (double equals sign) or it'll probably always be true!

Nick, I hate when I do that! It's often going back and forth between PHP and XSLT.

Comment #17 looks like link spam to me.

Update: what was comment #17 has now been removed. Lewis's comment does not look like spam to me. :-)

DavidOliver, =)
Lewis, thank you man!
It's finding the value correct, take a look a 'info' before Symphony Warning, but now new problem =/

http://beta.marciotoledo.com/

And PHP is:

var_dump($result);
        echo ('<br />---<br />');

  foreach($result->getChildren('entry') as $entry){
      foreach($entry->getChildren('redirect-to') as $parent) {
          foreach($parent->getChildren('item') as $item){
              echo ($item->getAttribute('handle'));
              header("Location: " + $item->getAttribute('handle'));
          }           
      }
  }
  die();

        return $result;
