Mapping URL in main menu to every page - grails

I am using in my grails 2.3.4 project with spring security and spring securit ui.
I am having scaffolde my domain contact to the view. I have also a .gsp page which is not scarfolded.
My links from my main menue looks like that:
<li>Pricing</li>
<li>Contact</li>
Thats my URLMappings
class UrlMappings {
static mappings = {
"/$controller/$action?/$id?(.${format})?"{
constraints {
// apply constraints here
}
}
"/private/$controller/$action?/$id?(.${format})?"{
constraints {
// apply constraints here
}
}
"/"(view:"/index")
"/pricing"(view:"/pricing")
"/private/dashboard"(view:"/private/dashboard")
"/contact/create"(view:"/contact/create")
"500"(view:'/error')
}
}
My problem is when I am using this two links from my mainpage / then everythings works fine. However using them from 5432:localhost/TestApp/pricing I am getting the link 5432:localhost/TestApp/pricing/contact/create
which goes is not available. If I am using <li>Contact</li>, I am going to 5432:localhost/contact/create, which is also not available. How to go to contact/create from every page?
I appreciate your reply!

The simplest and safest approach would be
<li><g:link uri="/contact/create">Contact</g:link></li>
Other attributes on the g:link tag will pass through to the generated a tag, with the exception of id - you need to use elementId instead, as id is treated as a parameter to the link generation (controller/action/id)
<li><g:link uri="/contact/create" class="nav" elementId="contactlink">Contact</g:link></li>
would become
<li>Contact</li>
(where /TestApp is the application context path - if you deploy the app at a different context path then then link will change to match).

How can I load static content into a gsp page?

We have a grails project that is templated to produce two different sites. The sites have two different Frequently Asked Question pages but we would like to keep the template the same. We were thinking about including two different *.groovy files that have variables in them with the questions and then map those variables to a gsp page. Or maybe two different *.gsp files and the right one gets included at startup.
What is the best way to include the static content into the gsp page while reusing as much code as possible and how would I go about doing it?
Let me know if you need more information.
Grails have the concept of templates to reuse your view code. For example:
*grails-app/views/book/_bookTemplate.gsp*
<div class="book" id="${book?.id}">
<div>Title: ${book?.title}</div>
<div>Author: ${book?.author?.name}</div>
</div>
grails-app/views/book/someView.gsp
<g:render template="bookTemplate" model="[book: myBook]" />
grails-app/views/book/anotherView.gsp
<g:render template="bookTemplate" model="[book: myBook]" />
So you can use the render tag in any GSP that needs to use your template.
It is kind of late but I was looking for the answer myself. While there is no direct way to have insert static file in Grails, there are various ways you could accomplish so. From controller to custom tag. There is a code for custom tag:
import org.slf4j.Logger
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
class HtmlTagLib {
// to be used in gsp like <html:render file="WEB-INF/some-static-file.txt"/>
// file param is relative to web-app folder
static namespace = 'html'
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HtmlTagLib .class)
def render = { attrs ->
String filePath = attrs.file
if (!filePath) {
log.error("'file' attribute must be provided")
return
}
String applicationPath = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath( filePath )
def htmlContent = new File(applicationPath).text
out << htmlContent
}
}

grails current page highlight

In grails I have a menu. I'm trying to highlight the menu item for the active page:
link1
link2 (show as bold if the controller action partially matches this gsp name)
link3
I have working code but it seems like there would be a better way.
Taglib works fine:
def active = { attrs, body ->
for (page in attrs.check) {
if (params.action.startsWith(page)) {
out << "current"
break
}
}
}
This option works fine, but seems wordy:
<li>Contact Info</li>
<li>About You</li>
This blows up:
<g:link action='myProfile' class="${<xyz:active check='${['myControllerAction']}'/>}">My Profile</g:link>
I don't believe you can pass a taglib as a parameter to g:link
I also have the requirement that multiple gsps/actions would cause a link to be active because of how they are named:
aboutYouLocation
aboutYouBackground
aboutYouEducation
all make this link the active one:
About You
I can do a partial match, but I've also got some actions/gsps that begin with aboutYour (extra R) resulting in my use of the array being passed into my taglib.
There's a standard way of doing that with the Platform Core plugin. It will provide you a Navigation API:
grails-app/conf/AppNavigation.groovy
navigation = {
// Declare the "app" scope, used by default in tags
app {
contact(action: 'contactInfo')
about(action: 'aboutYouFamily')
}
}
*grails-app/view/_menu.gsp* (template that you can use in your layout or GSP's)
<nav:menu scope="app" id="navigation" />
You can also customize the html generated for your menu, check the custom item rendering.

Multilingual in grails view

i'm working in Multilingual grails application (English and arbaic) , i want when the user chooses Arabic language the view's labels will be on the right side of the page and in English on the left side , how this can be achieved ?
thanks
You can use internationalization in grails through messages.properties file, you can define message signature in files and and they can be accessed through ?lang=es on the URL, you may need to have two files one for english and another for Arabic.
for example define in the messages.properties:
vendor.link.dashboardLink = Vendor Dashboard
and on the GSP page you can access it like:
<g:message code="vendor.link.dashboardLink" />
you can find more about internalization at grails doc have a look at http://grails.org/doc/2.2.1/guide/i18n.html
If the views have differences beyond simple string substitution, I would recommend using a different set of views based on locale:
Example controller code:
import org.springframework.web.servlet.support.RequestContextUtils as RCU
class ExampleController {
final static String englishLanguageCode = new Locale('en').getLanguage()
final static String arabicLanguageCode = new Locale('ar').getLanguage()
def differentViews() {
def currentLocale = RCU.getLocale(request)
switch(currentLocale.language) {
case englishLanguageCode:
render view: 'englishView'
break
case arabicLanguageCode:
render view: 'arabicView'
break
default:
// pick a default view or error page, etc.
}
}
}

Umbraco 4.11 MVC Mode - Children Url?

What is the correct way to obtain the URLs of children of the current node while using Umbraco 4.11 in MVC mode? This is what I tried and it keeps returning a blank URL:
#if (CurrentPage.Children().Count() > 0) {
<ul>
#foreach (var child in CurrentPage.Children()) {
<li>#child.Name</li>
}
</ul>
}
When that didn't work I resorted to the following:
#Umbraco.NiceUrl(child.Id)
This returns a URL, but it has .aspx extension on it. So my next hack is...
#Umbraco.NiceUrl(child.Id).Replace(".aspx", "")
That's not completely terrible, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something?
You need the NiceUrl() method to generate a valid Url.
To get rid of the .aspx extension, you need to set the setting "umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" to true in your web.config file:
<add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" />
I can't add this as a comment, but there is a way to remove trailing slashes, in umbracoSettings.config:
<addTrailingSlash>true</addTrailingSlash>
Other way to get Only Node Name (Without .aspx) is
#Model.NodeById(#child.Id).urlName
But it will just give Node name without "/"

JIRA layout per-project

Would it be possible to use a project-specific stylesheet for JIRA projects?
For example, if I would like to include project X in an iframe, I'd like to hide the logo and possibly the JIRA toolbar - for specific user groups for example (it's only for viewing purpose, it is not a security feature)
Granted that I'd have to implement this myself (through the webservice api for example) - are there templates for the standard issue page?
Thanks in advance!
There is a (currently undocumented) plugin point in JIRA for inserting top navigation components, <top-navigation>.
You can use this plugin point to add your own navigation bar, and perhaps hide the normal bar using an inline CSS stylesheet. The following example triggers this behavior by using a ?hideit=true query parameter, which is the simplest way to approach the "embed in iframe" problem. You could make that "sticky" by storing it in a session or cookie.
Once you have created a plugin that plugins into the <top-navigation>, hiding the top bar is simple. Here is a velocity script that does it:
#if ($hideHeaderHack)
<style>
\#header {display:none;}
</style>
HIDDEN (remove this message eventually)
#else
NORMAL (remove this message eventually)
#end
To create such a plugin, use the Atlassian Plugin SDK (use atlas-create-jira-plugin). Your atlassian-plugin.xml should look like:
<atlassian-plugin key="${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}" name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2">
<plugin-info>
<description>${project.description}</description>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<vendor name="${project.organization.name}" url="${project.organization.url}" />
</plugin-info>
<top-navigation key="standard-navigation-top"
name="Tigerblood"
class="com.madbean.topnavhack.TopNav" state='enabled'>
<resource type="velocity" name="view" location="topnav.vm"/>
<order>5</order>
</top-navigation>
</atlassian-plugin>
Your top-navigation implementation class (called com.madbean.topnavhack.TopNav above) should look like:
public class TopNav implements PluggableTopNavigation {
private TopNavigationModuleDescriptor descriptor;
public void init(TopNavigationModuleDescriptor descriptor)
{
this.descriptor = descriptor;
}
public String getHtml(HttpServletRequest request) {
Map<String,Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("hideHeaderHack", "true".equals(request.getParameter("hideit")));
return descriptor.getTopNavigationHtml(request, params);
}
}
Your plugin will be laid out something like:
./pom.xml
./src/main/java/com/madbean/topnavhack/TopNav.java
./src/main/resources/atlassian-plugin.xml
./src/main/resources/topnav.vm
Disclaimer I work for Atlassian as a developer in the JIRA team.
I don't believe this functionality is exposed directly, and you don't state what JIRA version you are using, but in 4.x in \atlassian-jira\includes\decorators there is a file called bodytop.jsp the has the following fragment that renders the top level navigation and toolbar elements:
// Render all the top nav plugins
for (Iterator iterator = topNavPlugins.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
TopNavigationModuleDescriptor topNavModuleDescriptor = (TopNavigationModuleDescriptor) iterator.next();
PluggableTopNavigation pluggableTopNavigation = (PluggableTopNavigation) topNavModuleDescriptor.getModule();
%>
<%= pluggableTopNavigation.getHtml(request) %>
<%
}
%>
If you wanted to you could create a version of the dashboard rendering jsp that calls a modified bodytop.jsp that renders none of the usual nav elements.
I would be tempted to write a basic plugin to do this.
Take a look at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Web+Resource+Plugin+Module
If you have yet to write a jira plugin, now might be the time to try it out http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEVNET/Developing+your+Plugin+using+the+Atlassian+Plugin+SDK .
I'm currently running Jira 4.2.2 and wrote a plugin that implements PluggableTopNavigation for a custom navigation bar. Unfortunately, this functionality, as detailed in the awarded question, is now depreciated.
My plugin added a div to the top of the Jira header that created a nice menu for use with our development pages. The source of the menu was hard-coded into the plugin and located as a static menu.html file on our server for sharing across different pages.
Since I'd have to completely redesign the plugin for Jira 5.2, I started searching for different ways to re-implement the menu. Here's what I settled on. It's not pretty, but it makes it so you don't have to write a plugin.
Change your announcement banner (quickly get there by typing 'gg', then search for announcement banner) to the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery.get("http://path.to.server/menu.html", function(data){
jQuery("#header").prepend('<nav class="global" role="navigation">'+data+'</nav>');
jQuery("#top-level-id-of-navbar a").css("color", "white")
});
});
</script>
Replace the menu.html link with your own link. The color of the header was inherited by the links in my menu, so I had to change them back to white after inserting the html page.
The result looks identical to Jira 4.2.2, so I'm happy.
