Hi,
I created a staticpage, set it to Centerblock: check, Position: Top of Page: and Topic: All but it only appears on my topic home pages.
Shouldn't it appear for all stories under all topics, i.e. go to a specific story and it'll still be there? I thought it worked that way for me when I last tried this 3 years ago.
Or am I imagining things!?
Cheers,
Brett

Hi Brett,
You can solve this by adding to public_html/layout/professional/article/article.thtml a {mypage} variable:
{mypage}
{formatted_article}
<div class="floatleft" style="width:50%;">{whats_related}</div>
<div class="floatleft" style="width:50%;">{story_options}</div>
<div class="clearboth">{trackback}</div>
{commentbar}
and set the variable in CUSTOM_templateSetVars function in your system/lib-custom.php file
function CUSTOM_templateSetVars($templatename, &$template)
{
// define a {hello_world} variable available in header.thtml and
// a {hello_again} variable available in the story templates
switch ($templatename) {
case 'header':
$template->set_var('hello_world', 'Hello, world!');
break;
case 'storytext':
case 'featuredstorytext':
case 'archivestorytext':
if (PLG_getItemInfo('staticpages', 'mypage', 'id') == 'mypage') {
$template->set_var('mypage', PLG_getItemInfo('staticpages', 'mypage', 'excerpt'));
}
break;
}
}
Make sure your page id you want to display is mypage and it must be working.

OK thanks. So maybe I imagined the functionality and need to customise if I want it bad enough. I'll have to weight it up.
Thanks!
Thanks!
