Redirect Page URL

DaveC · May 26, 2020

If you go to http://www.vivesport.co.uk/ all the links work apart from 'Our Sessions - Read more'. This opens a page called 'sessions'. This page does not exist, hence the error. It should direct to 'sessions-page' which does exist and can be opened from the header.

How do I change the incorrect url, please? It must be so basic, yet I have spent hours trying to find out from the PW site and forum!

[Ignore the errors at the bottom of the page.]

The main menu (I suppose what you are referring to as opened from the header) is pointing to the page /our-sessions/. On the contrary, your Read More' button is pointing to /sessions/.

You should check in the template file (or maybe an .inc file if that is what was used to generate the Read More buttons) and change it there. It's hard to tell without seeing the code. The simplest way to find is to to search your /site/templates/* for this:

<div class="service-wrapper">

That's the wrapper for those service buttons (Read More).

I've changed it in home.php. Buttons are defined in main.css, and called via bootstrap.js. Still produces an error!

Sorted!

I was sending it to 'sessions-page' instead of 'our-sessions'.

Thanks very much for you help, kongondo.

However, another one I've spent a few hours trying to solve.

http://www.vivesport.co.uk/our-sessions/ contains an accordion. It successfully moves between Kirklees and Calderdale, but does not open for the individual items. How do I edit what goes into each tab and how to add/delete tabs?

I have no idea. It's a JavaScript accordion and I have no idea which one the developer used or what is supposed to go in there. Maybe if you could show us the code on the relevant template file....

Sorry, I think I have wasted your time by posing the question badly.

I've got the code [site/templates/includes/sessions.inc] but it's not that what I am looking for, but how such an accordion can be inserted into and deleted from a page. I go to the 'Our Sessions' page and template and nothing about the accordion can be seen. How did it get there!!

You really are being helpful, kongondo, and it is very much appreciated.

I doubt you'll find this :-). In ProcessWire, JavaScript stuff is handled on the client side. This wouldn't be saved with the page (database). There are two things on that page. The tabs and the accordion. Both are definitely built using JavaScript. The usual way to do this is to output items in your template file (e.g. items from a $pages->find() and in a html block, identify them using an ID or a class. E.g. <div id="something">. There would be JavaScript code in the template file or included via some script that will look for "#something" and build the final markup (i.e., the accordion, etc).

Looking at the HTML source code of your sessions page (F12), it seems the tabs are built using bootstrap. The accordions are probably built using jQuery. This is the code from the source code on the sessions page:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
    	$('.accordion .accordion-section-title').removeClass('active');
        $('.accordion .accordion-section-content').slideUp(300).removeClass('open');

    function close_accordion_section() {
        $('.accordion .accordion-section-title').removeClass('active');
        $('.accordion .accordion-section-content').slideUp(300).removeClass('open');
    }
 
    $('.accordion-section-title').click(function(e) {
        // Grab current anchor value
        var currentAttrValue = $(this).attr('href');
 
        if($(e.target).is('.active')) {
            close_accordion_section();
        }else {
            close_accordion_section();
 			
            // Add active class to section title
            $(this).addClass('active');
            // Open up the hidden content panel
            $('.accordion ' + currentAttrValue).slideDown(300).addClass('open'); 
        }
 
        e.preventDefault();
    });
});
    </script>

Looking at the HTML source code still, it seems your accordions are empty. That's why they are not opening.

Edit: So, if you can find out the template file or possibly a .inc file that has the above script, we can help you with how to output the accordion content.

OK, this code just shows where the scripts are called but not the PHP that fetches the accordion items.

54 minutes ago, DaveC said:

Not really. It's fine in footer.inc in order to load JavaScript last (it's a page load optimisation thing).

54 minutes ago, DaveC said:

I bet this is where the PHP (ProcessWire) code to fetch the accordion items from the database items is (unless someone deleted it :-)). Please show us the code in sessions.inc. Mostly likely there will be a $pages->find() or a $pages->get('/some/path')->children();. The items probably use a template called session(s).

PS: Always wrap your code in the code blocks <>.

This is what should happen: https://web.archive.org/web/20180815082939/http://vivesport.co.uk/sessions/

kongondo · May 29, 2020

That's the one. It seems the sessions page does not have any children or some of their settings were changed:

Is the sessions pages titled Sessions or Our Sessions?
Does it have children?
Does the site have a field named session_venue?
What type of field is it? PageReference, Text, other?
Does the site have fields named session_type, session_day, session_time and session_area?
What type of fields are they?
Does the site have a template called session?

No

Your 'Our Sessions' page needs to have children for this (and the other similar) code to work:

23 hours ago, DaveC said:

$children = $page->children('include=all, template=session, session_area=calderdale, session_type=schools');

The children will be titled Huddersfield Eagles Junior Badminton Club, etc.

In addition, those children:

Need to use a template named session.
That template (session) needs to have the following fields: session_type, session_day, session_venue, session_time and session_area

DaveC · May 30, 2020

I have followed your instructions. There are now some data entered.

When the tabs have not been selected:

- the current site shows:

<div class="accordion">
  <div class="accordion-section">
    <a class="accordion-section-title community-club" href="#accordion-1">Badminton</a>
    <div id="accordion-1" class="accordion-section-content" style="display: none;">
    </div>
  </div><!--end .accordion-section-->
</div>

- whereas the original site shows:

<div class="accordion">
    <div class="accordion-section">
        <a class="accordion-section-title community-club active" href="#accordion-1">Badminton</a>
            <div id="accordion-1" class="accordion-section-content open" style="display: block;">
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-md-12">
                        <div class="session">
                            <h3>Huddersfield Eagles Junior Badminton Club</h3>
                            <h4>Royds Hall Sports Centre</h4>
                            <p>Sunday - 9:00am - 12:00pm</p>
                            <p> </p>
                            <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180815082939/mailto:enquiries@vivesport.co.uk?subject=Huddersfield Eagles Junior Badminton Club booking please" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">Book this session</a></p>

Clicking the current version alters nothing. When the original is clicked and opened the code starts:

<div class="accordion">
    <div class="accordion-section">
        <a class="accordion-section-title community-club active" href="#accordion-1">Badminton</a>
            <div id="accordion-1" class="accordion-section-content open" style="display: block;">

So, being a great detective [!!], the accordion isn't opening!

When I look at the templates in the site via ftp it does not match what PW sees:

The session template is missing from the ftp [yes, it has been refreshed].

DaveC · June 1, 2020

After many hours work, investigations, and trial & error, the Our Sessions page now works!!!

Thank you kongondo for all your help...

...so far!

rick · June 1, 2020

Hi @DaveC,

Is there any reason you have the admin login link in the footer?

If you are the only person logging in to the admin, then I would suggest you remove it.

If there are others who must log in, then I would suggest you create your own login and redirect a valid user to the admin page.

That's not how it works ?

ProcessWire does not just read files on your system arbitrarily
Templates have to be 'registered' with ProcessWire
Templates do not need to have a template file (some of the files you are seeing in the ftp)
Template file names do not need to match the name of the template (i.e., default is that they match, but this can be changed)
Some developer uses the templates folder to store PHP files they can include in their template files or modules

No idea! Is it a security risk?

I've never used PW - not any CMS - before. Circumstances forced it upon me when I had to move my daughter's site from one host to another which would not accept PW 2.7 and the original writers could not be found.

With more trial & error I suspect that there is a lot of unnecessary - and incorrect - code in and amongst the current configuration! It is certainly an interesting and frustrating learning curve!!

And there was me thinking I was getting to grips with things! You've just left me confused with templates, template registering, and template files!!

It is a security risk by exposing the url to login to the admin side of Processwire to people that don't require access.

Ah-ha! ? Everyone here has been at the starting gate, but I have trouble getting out of the gate. LOL. The first thing you should know is that Processwire is not like *any* other CMS/CMF. Specifically, the terminology may be confusing at first, eg, "Page". I would recommend that you read up on the getting started topics of this forum, and read the articles they may link to. I know, it's the boring part. Believe me, you will sleep better when you understand how PW works.
