This is a common way to introduce efficiencies into your template code so that, as a developer, you save time, which is what PyroCMS is all about Now that we have our basic theme put together, we can add content to our website You can this by using the Pages module in the system (in the control panel) Two things we'll add our website, beyond basic page content, are a contact form and stream data Adding a contact form A contact form is a basic feature of many, many websites This feature comes built into PyroCMS, and can be added to any page in the system simply because it is a plugin tag you add to your website The tag that creates this form is more complicated than most tags, but it makes simple work out of building and validating a contact form The following tag is a simple example of a tag that generates a contact form: {{ contact:form name = "text|required" email = "text|required|valid_email" subject = "dropdown|required|hello=Howdy| support=Support Ticket" message = "textarea|required" attachment = "file|jpg|png|zip" }} [ 81 ] www.it-ebooks.info Building a Website with PyroCMS {{ name }} {{ email }} {{ subject }} {{ message }} {{ attachment }} {{ /contact:form }} This contact form generates five input fields for a user These inputs are name, email, subject, message, and attachment Each parameter on this form tag can take a pipe-delimited set of values For most inputs, this pipe-delimited value follows a specific format This first value in the delimited string is, for example, the name of the input field The second delimited value determines whether or not the form input should be required for the user The third delimited value can either be an extension of validation rules or another set of delimited values that determine the options included in a dropdown The subject field, for example, will be output as a dropdown of values that include Howdy and Support Ticket These forms follow the form validation patterns used by CodeIgniter If you are unfamiliar with how forms get validated by CodeIgniter, you can refer CodeIgniter's User Guide for form validation documentation at http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/ libraries/form_validation.html Adding stream data to your website We covered streams in the previous chapter of this book Building upon our efforts there, we are going to reuse the employees stream we built in that chapter That stream is a directory of people's names and phone numbers, one that can be output to a website To build that stream, we used the Streams module that comes built into the professional version of PyroCMS If you didn't follow the steps put together in Chapter 6, Using PyroCMS Streams, then you'll want to create a new stream of data called employees in PyroCMS using the Streams module We're going to take that stream, embed it into a page so that it can be seen by a user Then, taking it a step further, we're going to build a details page for a single stream entry This type of interaction, as I'm sure you know, is very common among websites First, let's take a look at the stream tag that's going to loop through our employee entries and output the values from our database, shown as follows: {{ streams:cycle stream="employees" limit="5" }} {{ entries }}{{ name }}
{{ /entries }} {{ /streams:cycle }} [ 82 ] www.it-ebooks.info Chapter This code acts exactly like a for loop in PHP, looping over our data You can add this streams tag to any page you create using the Pages module In the case of this specific example, let's create a page called Employees that will list all of the employee entries in the stream: We'll modify our stream tag a little bit by adding a link around the name variable, so that each record in the stream links to the single, detailed stream entry Later, we'll embed the code for that single entry on a nested page The code we'll need for our details page is very similar to the code we put on the base employees page, but it uses a URL value and the id parameter to limit the data returned to the user, shown as follows: {{ streams:cycle stream="employees" limit="5" }} {{ entries }}{{ name }}
{{ /entries }} {{ /streams:cycle }} As part of the details page, you can display the phone number we've entered for each entry in the employees stream, as shown in the following code sample We'll take the following code and add it to a page that is nested underneath our base employee page in the Pages module: {{ streams:cycle stream="employees" id="[segment_3]" limit="1" }} {{ entries }} {{ name }}{{ phone }}
{{ /entries }} {{ /streams:cycle }} [ 83 ] www.it-ebooks.info Building a Website with PyroCMS If however, you try to get these pages to connect without doing one more step, you'll see that is doesn't work You'll be given a "404 page not found" error To get all of our URLs to line up correctly, we're going to define a custom URL route in PyroCMS that will make this common/details page setup work, which will then appear as shown in the following screenshot: Defining a custom route Building a custom route in PyroCMS is quite easy to In a way, though, adding this route to the system is modifying core code that could be wiped out with future updates to the system, so take care of these routes The file where you'll add your custom route is located within your PyroCMS project files, shown as follows: system/cms/config/routes.php To accommodate the employee/detail page we have created, you need to add the following route to your routes.php file: $route['employees/detail/(:any)'] = 'pages/view/employees/detail'; This route essentially makes the ID number that appears in your link to the details page, the parameter with which we can make a query against the database Once you have this route installed, you should be able to link from an employee record in your stream to a detailed employee record page [ 84 ] www.it-ebooks.info Chapter Summary What I've shown you in the last few pages of this book are the essential steps to getting a website running using PyroCMS We covered getting the system installed, creating a theme, and using streams to help power database driven content on your website What I hope you've learned is that it doesn't take much effort to start building a smart website on PyroCMS Because of its ability to leverage programming patterns, an easy-to-use PHP framework, and wicked fast theme development workflow, PyroCMS, as I hope you've seen, is an extremely well-outfitted system that's ready to be used on any website project [ 85 ] www.it-ebooks.info
