footer menu creation in concrete5

Footer Menus

07-25-2010

With a simple modification to an AutoNav template and a Checkbox Page Attribute, you can have a customizable Footer Menu.

Often a client wants a Footer Menu that has some pages from their Main Menu (in the header) and other pages that are excluded from the Main Menu.

Concrete5′s AutoNav block comes with a template file called header_menu.php, it’s located in concrete/blocks/autonav/templates.

Copy that file and rename in footer_menu.php and save it in blocks/autonav/templates.

Open it with your favorite editor and find this block of code:

$isFirst = true;
  foreach($aBlocks as $ni) {
    $_c = $ni->getCollectionObject();
    if (!$_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('exclude_nav')) {

Change the last line to this:

    if ($_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('include_footer')) {

Save that file and go into Dashboard – Pages and Themes – Attributes and add a new Check Box Attribute called “Include in Footer Menu”

 

 

Go to Dashboard – Sitemap and in the property settings for any page that you want to appear in the Footer Menu add the attribute “Include in Footer Menu”.

 

 

Now add an AutoNav block in your footer (or wherever you want the second menu), accept the default settings and click on Add

 

 

We normally add this to a Scrapbook as a block called Footer Menu then insert this code where we want it in our page:

<div id"footerNav">
  <?php
    $block = Block::getByName('Footer Menu');  
    if( is_object($block) ) $block->display();  
  ?>
</div>

Select the Custom Template “Footer Menu” for your AutoNav block.

 

Now your Footer Menu will display only the pages that have the ‘Include in Footer’ attribute selected.

Most likely the menu will be displayed as a vertical list with bullets. You can style it for a horizontal list or how ever you need it for your site.  A very simple style for a horizontal menu could start out like this:

#footerNav ul {
  list-style: none;
}

#footerNav li {
  float: left;
  padding: 0 5px;
}

just removed all the other usernames from firefox’s saved usernames list for my site, and that gets rid of the problem.

Anyway, that’s why you get that prompt in firefox.

 

 

Best way to use PHP to encrypt and decrypt?

$key = 'password to (en/de)crypt'; $string = ' string to be encrypted '; // note the spaces 
$encrypted = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt
(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key)))); 
$decrypted = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt
(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($encrypted), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), ""); 
 
echo 'Encrypted:' . "\n";
 var_dump($encrypted); // "ey7zu5zBqJB0rGtIn5UB1xG03efyCp+KSNR4/GAv14w=" echo "\n"; 
echo 'Decrypted:' . "\n"; var_dump($decrypted); // " string to be encrypted "
