Ionize - Free & Open Source creative CMS

[eluser]easylancer[/eluser]
@Michel-Ange I will test the partial tag, but back to my other question, can I extend the Page Controller to create another page type without making changes to the Page Controller eg. Gallery extends Page and have use of all the tags from Page into my current controller.

Sorry if I am asking a lot of Questions since this is still in early stages, but is there a caching system in place, and if not how long before one gets put in place and please not the CI one, it would be nice if the tags had a cache no cache attribute <ion:partial path="partials/head" parse="yes" cache="1200 or yes" /> if yes then use global cache settings other set cache time.

@easylancer : Extending Page should not be a problem. After that, you should modify the config/router.php file to make the link between your controller and the URL (ionize page name).

For the moment, there is no caching system in place.

@Kip zonder Kop : Link to external locations are possible, but not yet completely implemented. The very old Ionize permitted this, and this feature will be available soon.

Great. For the time being I worked around the the next way. Create a view (and register it in the admin panel and use it) that uses the aforementioned partial tag. In the partial set a http header to the desired location.

So the view is:

Code:

<ion:partial path="partials/jazz" parse="no" />

The content of the partial is

Code:

<?php header('location: http://www.hammondjazz.net'); ?>

Et voila, the menu item will take you away. The partial is a peephole to chaos !!

@Kip zonder Kop : Great ! A little bit crazy, but great way of thinking !

What is cool is that we are slowly discovering how Ionize can be used in a different manner than we expected it to be...

So not appropriate for the documentation I guess ;-)

[eluser]Michel-Ange[/eluser]
In fact, it's really good what you done with this tag : A normal way of using view but a different way of thinking !
Bravo !

I like to use views sometimes to store peanut butter and jelly.

Not so good for soup - too leaky.
