Hello! Could it possible to show static pages under content of articles of some topics?
For example I need to add block of last topic articles after story content

I've been known to use the same method Chris describes in this article to pull content from other pages into my articles.

(I'm writing this without access to the source code so the details might be a bit off.)

Add a variable to your article templates: {extracontent}
In lib-custom, override CUSTOM_setTemplateVars($type, $template)
PHP Formatted Code

function CUSTOM_setTemplateVars($type, $template)
{
   global $_TABLES;
   if ($type != 'article') return;
   $topic = DB_getItem($_TABLES['stories'], 'topic', "sid = '". $template->get_var('sid') ."'");
   if ($topic != 'the right topic') return;
   $extra = staticpage_generatepage('pageid'); // there are a few parameters here
   $template->set_var('extracontent', $extra);
}

I added this function to lib-custom
PHP Formatted Code

function CUSTOM_setTemplateVars($type, $template)
{
   global $_TABLES;
   if ($type != 'article') return;
   $topic = DB_getItem($_TABLES['stories'], 'topic', "sid = '". $template->get_var('sid') ."'");
   if ($topic != 'the right topic') return;
   $extra = staticpage_generatepage('pageid'); // there are a few parameters here
   $template->set_var('extracontent', $extra);
}
 


and this {extracontent} I added to article.thtml but nothing changed Frown

I told you I was posting without access to the code and so some things may not be accurate. The function should be called CUSTOM_templatesetvars. Also the $type will be "featuredstorytext", "archivestorytext" or "storytext" and not "article" as I presumed.

You need to change the strings 'the right topic' and 'pageid' to the actual values needed for your install.

I have access to the Geeklog sources now so here is an updated function. But you still have to fill in a few details: the topic_id and the staticpage_id
PHP Formatted Code

function CUSTOM_templatesetvars($type, $template)
{
   global $_TABLES;
   if ($type != 'featuredstorytext' && $type != 'archivestorytext' && $type != 'storytext') return;
   $topic = DB_getItem($_TABLES['stories'], 'tid', "sid = '". $template->get_var('story_id') ."'");
   if ($topic != 'the right topic') return; // you have to put the tid of the topic you want here
   $extra = SP_returnStaticpage('pageid'); // there are a few parameters here
   $template->set_var('extracontent', $extra);
}
 


AND you need to put the {extracontent} into the storytext.thtml (and featuredstorytext.thtml and archivestorytext.thtml). That will ensure it is displayed with every appearance of the story.

it is works but there some problems:
1) It displays the contents of the entire page, but I need to display only the content of static page
2) how to make this code work in article.thtml? because when I put {extracontent} in storytext.thtml it is displaying in preview of each story, but I need only in full text of story

thanks

1) add a second parameter to SP_returnStaticpage('pageid', 'autotag'Wink. I think that will work but I'm not 100% sure.
2) Put {extracontent} in the article.thtml and change the 2nd line of the function back to
if ( $type != 'article' ) return;

With the changes above:

function CUSTOM_templatesetvars($type, $template)
{
   global $_TABLES;
   if ($type != 'article') return;
   $topic = DB_getItem($_TABLES['stories'], 'tid', "sid = '". $template->get_var('story_id') ."'");
   if ($topic != 'the right topic') return; // you have to put the tid of the topic you want here
   $extra = SP_returnStaticpage('pageid', 'autotag'); // there are a few parameters here
   $template->set_var('extracontent', $extra);
}

Apparently I'm hallucinating. I thought there was a call to PLG_templatesetvars() in article.php. There isn't. You could add one, but then you would have to add it everytime you upgrade. You could put in a feature request and hope they add it. Or we can go back to the older code and add another check:

Here you have to add {extracontent} back into featuredstorytext.thtml and storytext.thtml and archivestorytext.thtml. In theory, the "story_display" value is set to article when the story is rendered from article.php. But again, I'm not 100% sure.

I think you need to add 'autotag' as shown here, but again, I'm away from the code:

   $extra = SP_returnStaticpage('pageid','autotag'); // there are a few parameters here
