3.4 - how to make right hand toolbar content section dependent?

Monday 09 August 2004 5:30:29 am

Bard,

Thanks for your help - I've finally got this working.

So the fix is (as you said above) to explicitly state each section rather than using the

{case}
    <p>Show this if the page is in a section that doesn't match any of the above.</p>
  {/case}

as an 'or' operator.

Cheers for helping me out with this.

Steve.

I've found this thread very useful and I just want to add something.

You can change your toolbars not just by section, but also by node or class. For example you could have a different toolbar according to whether an object is an article, poll, folder etc.

If your article class is 2, then the following would be a basis for creating a tollbar option that just shows up in articles.

{switch match=$DesignKeys:used.class}
{case match=2}
This is an article.
{/case}
{case}
This is not an article.
{/case}
{/switch}

This extension of the principle is probably obvious to all you "power users" of Exponential, but I thought that people might appreciate me pointing this out.

Combined with the new administration setup on Exponential 3.5, this is very powerful.
