Sorry, Timo I couldn't reply to this but now I'm going to test it. Thanks for your efforts.

New Post: Instead of Simple Title Skin Object

mkormendy — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:13:41 GMT

Instead of installing the Simple Title Skin Object, you can just use the following in your ASCX files:

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName%>

New Post: Using AddToHead to implement og:url meta property

timo_design — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:17:51 GMT

Ok, I made a mistake.
You can do it the way I posted with some changes, but it's easier (and more readable) to add a small server side function.

Add this to your ascx skin (on top):

<script runat="server">
    Private Function GetMeta() as String
        Return String.Format("<meta property=""og:url"" content=""{0}?r=s"" />" , PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl)
    End function
</script>

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER AddToHead='<%#GetMeta()%>'  runat="server" />

Hope it does work now.

Timo

Tnx

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="STYLEHELPER3" AddToHead='<meta property="og:url" content='<%#PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl & "?r=s" %>' />' runat="server" />

doesn't get injected in the header properly.

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="STYLEHELPER3" AddToHead='<meta property="og:url" content="<%#PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl & "?r=s" %>" />' runat="server" />

does get in\jected in the header only because of the double quote; the meta content stays like this:

<%#PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl & "?r=s

Ok, I might add token repalce in the future, but for now you can use this I think:

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="STYLEHELPER3" AddToHead='<meta property="og:url" content='<%#PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl & "?r=s" %>' />' runat="server" />

Note I use <%#...%> not <%=...%>, which means the value is injected on databind, before the control is loaded.
<%=...%> is injected after and thus fails.
Disadvantage is that everything you inject has to be inside the <%#...%>
You cannot use:

content="<%# PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl %>?r=s"

Hi,

I'd like to use a token PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl with a variable in the og:url meta property. How do I do this?

I now have something like this, but it doesnt work (obviously):

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="STYLEHELPER3" AddToHead='<meta property="og:url" content="<%= PortalSettings.ActiveTab.FullUrl %>?r=s" />' runat="server" />

Thanks,

Keston

New Post: Removing Tabstrip css file for everyone but Admins

Scrap the message above. I see it is now working. I think some caching led me to believe it was not working!

New Post: Removing Tabstrip css file for everyone but Admins

eoghano — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:00:44 GMT

I added the following to the skin's ascx to try and remove the Tabstrip.default.css file for any visitors who are not admins. However it continues to load the file in question. Is that because the file has two dots in its file name? or is my syntax wrong? Or is there another explanation?

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="REMOVETABSTRIP" IfRole="!Administrators" RemoveCssFile="TabStrip.Default.css" runat="server" />

New Post: If Condition and Appending Meta Info Based on URL

timo_design — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:28:08 GMT

I think the problem is that some parts of the URL you see are not really part of the pages URL, but query string parameters, that injected into the friendly url.

I did a test and this seems to work (you do need the new beta version of the Skin object for this):

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER ID="STYLEHELPER5" ChangeMeta='id=MetaDescription|content=*: Page [QS:PageID]' runat="server" />

This will look for an exisitng Meta tag with id MetaDescription, and change the content attribute to:

The original Description (Represented by *) + ": Page" + the value of the PageId Query String parameter, which is 2 if your on page 2.

I set this for the articles Description in the Module: "This is my article"

The result is this description: "This is my article: Page 2" in the meta tag (if on page 2)

I used News Articles main module, should work the same for News Articles Latest

New 02.03.00 Beta version of skin object here: http://stylehelper.codeplex.com/releases/view/79650

I tested this on DNN 5.6.3

Hmm, so in essence, you want to read the value from the URL and write that to the Page description?

idumlupinar — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:41:32 GMT

I had commented on the following issue:

http://dnnskinextensions.codeplex.com/workitem/14577

I am using a blog module from Ventrian. The developer uses paging for listing blog posts. However when paging is enabled, second listing page url becomes

/Blog/tabid/104/currentpage/2/Default.aspx

For other pages:

It becomes /Blog/tabid/104/currentpage/[currentpagenumber]/Default.aspx

and there is no possible configuration change for meta information for this page. So i would like to append currentpage number to title and meta desc. section so that Search Crawlers will not complain about having same meta for my listing pages.

I tried using IF condition but couldn't figure out what to use... I've read documentation :)

New Post: AddJsFile Doesnt Work With ifBrowser

goBlanks — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 17:56:22 GMT

Tested in release 2.2.2 on DNN 6.0.2 CE

I've been trying to get rid of conditional statements in my skin file and tried adding a js file:

<fortyfingers:stylehelper ID="stylehelper2" ifBrowser="IE<9" AddJsFile="[S]/js/html5.js" runat="server" />

When removing the browser attribute, the js file will load.

New Post: DNN 6.1 and JavaScript/CSS Order in Header

I didn't test it yet, but it should work if you use the AddAtEnd="True" attribute

New Post: DNN 6.1 and JavaScript/CSS Order in Header

jfarrance — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:49:32 GMT

I am admittedly posting this without doing much research, but in need of a quick fix and maybe someone else has seen this already? We have a site in development and we use 40fingers StyleHelper to include our custom/extra JS/CSS files. We just upgraded from 6.0.2 to DNN 6.1.0. In 6.1 the jquery.min.js hosted file suddenly is getting included last in the header, after the other .js files we are adding/using (e.g. SlideDeck, etc). Anyone know if StyleHelper can be used with 6.1 to get our custom stuff added after jQuery? Thanks - Jeremy

New Post: Adding Meta Tags

timo_design — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:18:52 GMT

You should use: <fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER AddMetaTags="apple-mobile-web-app-capable:no" runat="server" />

BTW, you can add anything to the head using

AddToHead='<script types="<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" value ="no" />||<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:regular,bold">'

That way you can inject your external stylesheet too.

Example: <fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER AddToHead='<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" value ="no" />||<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:regular,bold">' runat="server" />

dang....doing it all the time (ain't got anything like that in MVC...if that's an excuse)

[EDIT] : Spoke to fast. Do the following now and nothing shows up in the source:

<fortyfingers:STYLEHELPER AddMetaTags="name=apple-mobile-web-app-capable||content=no" runat="server" />

New Post: Link to external stylesheets (javascript files as well?)

krokonoster — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:14:57 GMT

No worries.

For now I just copied those external styles to local files and include that.

Works like a bomb mate....this thing is awesome!
