Particle YAML field types : choose a Joomla article

Posted 8 years 8 months ago
- Thanks for this documentation : Particle YAML field types
  But what kind of field, if possible, do I have to use if I want then to select a Joomla Article in a list, instead of creating 2 fields one for the URL and the other for the text of link ?
  
  Thanks a lot.

- The field types in the yaml are just ways of keying in data into the particles settings. What you do with those field contents is down to the code that you write in the twig file. So, there's nothing stopping you having a field called (say) "article ID" when you key in an article Id number. Then you could write some code to extract the url, description or anything else from the article Id specified.
  
  This is really development work, so you may find it useful to discuss this with like-minded developers in github chat too https://gitter.im/gantry/gantry5
  
  You will also find this documentation useful too:
  
  http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/advanced/creating-a-new-particle
  
  http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/advanced/php-functions
  
  I hope that helps.

I did it like that :

example_particle.html.twig download the files (/Templat_DIR/custom/particles)

... See an example ("(Particle)Fete de la musique 2015 à Saint-Mandé"
First part : Image + Title + Description + Readmore
2nd part : 3 images (Last one hidden on phone)

This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.

{% extends '@nucleus/partials/particle.html.twig' %}

{% block particle %}
<div class="{{ particle.css.class }}">
            
            <div class="g-grid">
                        <div class="g-content">
                                    <div class="g-grid">
                                                {% if particle.image %}

PROBLEM :
- When I click on the link it appears like that " labo-betrained.fr/saintmande/index.php?o...nt&view=article&id=8 " without explicit url
- When I choose the image the URL begins like that : "gantry-media://..." that I have to change manually with "images/..." - A solution ?

- This line in your TWIG is wrong...
  
  <p><a class="readon" href=index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id={{particle.articleid}} target="_blank">Lire la suite</a></p>
  
  Should be:
  
  <p><a class="readon" href="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id={{particle.articleid}}" target="_blank">Lire la suite</a></p>
  
  Also your img src is input wrong, example:
  
  <div class="g-block size-32"><img src="{{ particle.image1 }}" alt="image"></div>
  
  should be:
  
  <div class="g-block size-32"><img src="{{ url(particle.image1)|e }}" alt="image"></div>

Hey Good job (y) Thanks! And what about the URL ? ("...index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8") instead of "sports-culture-loisirs" ?

- You would need to also specify itemid=xx (the menu item in which the page should be rendered) in the urls and then they would be rendered as sef urls.

- Turn off sef and then look at that menu item link in you browser - that is what it will have to match exactly for the sef url to be used instead. So for a sef url to work the menu item must open EXACTLY the same article - your's does not appear to do that - that menu item seems to be opening a different article?
