(No Ratings Yet)

Before Read: If you run into more issues don’t hesitate to contact me or just ping me in the ezcommunity.slack.com :

Ibexa DXP 3.3.3 (Release date: Mai 18, 2021)

Please always refer to Ibexa 3.3 Upgrade Documentation

Without any long introduction let’s start with the update steps:

composer require ibexa/experience:3.3.3 --with-all-dependencies --no-scripts
composer recipes:install ibexa/experience --force -v
composer run post-install-cmd

composer require ibexa/experience:3.3.3 --with-all-dependencies --no-scripts

composer recipes:install ibexa/experience --force -v

composer run post-install-cmd

Now you have the latest Ibexa 3.3.3 installation

Lock file operations: 0 installs, 1 update, 0 removals
  - Upgrading ibexa/experience (v3.3.1 => v3.3.3)

1 2	Lock file operations: 0 installs, 1 update, 0 removals - Upgrading ibexa/experience (v3.3.1 => v3.3.3)

Be sure to remove the Kaliop bundle in the config/bundles.php file

Kaliop\eZMigrationBundle\eZMigrationBundle::class => ['all' => true],

1	Kaliop\eZMigrationBundle\eZMigrationBundle::class => ['all' => true],

and set the minimum stability to stable, in composer.json:

"minimum-stability": "stable",

1	"minimum-stability": "stable",

Update database to v3.3.3

There are no specific DB updates for 3.3.3 but be sure that below updates are available in your installation:
vendor/ibexa/installer/upgrade/db/mysql/ibexa-3.3.0-to-3.3.1.sql vendor/ibexa/installer/upgrade/db/mysql/ibexa-3.3.1-to-3.3.2.sql
+
Be sure that update entity managers introduced in 3.3.2are available:

php bin/console debug:container --parameter=doctrine.entity_managers --format=json | grep ibexa_

1	php bin/console debug:container --parameter=doctrine.entity_managers --format=json \| grep ibexa_

In my case I got below output:

"ibexa_default": "doctrine.orm.ibexa_default_entity_manager"

1	"ibexa_default": "doctrine.orm.ibexa_default_entity_manager"

For this entity I have to run below command to get the SQL statement:

 php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --em=ibexa_default --dump-sql

1	php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --em=ibexa_default --dump-sql

which produce below queries to execute in your DB:

     ALTER TABLE session CHANGE session_id session_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL;
     ALTER TABLE comment DROP FOREIGN KEY FK_9474526CE2904019;
     ALTER TABLE comment DROP body, DROP ancestors, DROP depth, DROP created_at, DROP state;
     DROP INDEX idx_9474526ce2904019 ON comment;
     CREATE INDEX IDX_5BC96BF0E2904019 ON comment (thread_id);
     ALTER TABLE comment ADD CONSTRAINT FK_9474526CE2904019 FOREIGN KEY (thread_id) REFERENCES thread (id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION;
     ALTER TABLE thread DROP permalink, DROP is_commentable, DROP num_comments, DROP last_comment_at;

ALTER TABLE session CHANGE session_id session_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL;

ALTER TABLE comment DROP FOREIGN KEY FK_9474526CE2904019;

ALTER TABLE comment DROP body, DROP ancestors, DROP depth, DROP created_at, DROP state;

DROP INDEX idx_9474526ce2904019 ON comment;

CREATE INDEX IDX_5BC96BF0E2904019 ON comment (thread_id);

ALTER TABLE comment ADD CONSTRAINT FK_9474526CE2904019 FOREIGN KEY (thread_id) REFERENCES thread (id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION;

ALTER TABLE thread DROP permalink, DROP is_commentable, DROP num_comments, DROP last_comment_at;

ℹ️ For the time being the comment table updates are needed only when using the Ibexa commerce component

At this Step the whole update installation is done. Enjoy!

Ibexa DXP Installation with Redis, Postgresql and Elasticsearch

(No Ratings Yet)

Ibexa DXP version 3.3.2 April 2021
Level: beginner

Next Posts:
* How to move a local installation to Ibexa Cloud
* Using Lando for local development

This post explains how to install Ibexa DXP Experience version 3.3.2 using Postgresql as database and Elastic as search engine and It is the same path to follow to install Ibexa content. The Ibexa documentation is enough to follow but this post is focusing on the Experience Edition and serves as a quick guide.

Note: Ibexa commerce requires Solr and this might not be possible to use Elasticsearch. Be careful if you want to use some free available commerce features in Experience Edition e.g autosuggestion

The installation of Ibexa 3.3.2 is slightly different compared to the previous 3.0 until 3.2 versions. It introduces a new skeleton concept and the installation is very faster and fixes older v3 tags installation with incorrect package versions.

All preparation steps like Node.js, yarn, composer and Token generation are good documented in: Install Ibexa 3.3

let’s get started

Environement
For the installation I setup below docker images from Dockerhub and put all recipies in the docker-compose file:

Note: The goal of this post is not the Environement setups as you can have other preferences for the infrastructure.

Create project

composer create-project ibexa/experience-skeleton .

1	composer create-project ibexa/experience-skeleton .

Git setups

cp -a .gitignore.dist .gitignore
git init; git add . > /dev/null; git commit -m "init" > /dev/null

1 2	cp -a .gitignore.dist .gitignore git init; git add . > /dev/null; git commit -m "init" > /dev/null

Dev environement file

cp -a .env .env.local

1	cp -a .env .env.local

Postgresql configuration
At this step you can create a copy of the .env file for the dev environment .env.local and add a database block at the end for better readability.

#DB
DATABASE_USER=ezp
DATABASE_PASSWORD=root
DATABASE_NAME=ezp
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_PORT=5432
DATABASE_PLATFORM=postgresql
DATABASE_CHARSET=utf8
DATABASE_VERSION=13
DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_PLATFORM}://${DATABASE_USER}:${DATABASE_PASSWORD}@${DATABASE_HOST}:${DATABASE_PORT}/${DATABASE_NAME}?serverVersion=${DATABASE_VERSION}&charset=${DATABASE_CHARSET}

#DB

DATABASE_USER=ezp

DATABASE_PASSWORD=root

DATABASE_NAME=ezp

DATABASE_HOST=localhost

DATABASE_PORT=5432

DATABASE_PLATFORM=postgresql

DATABASE_CHARSET=utf8

DATABASE_VERSION=13

DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_PLATFORM}://${DATABASE_USER}:${DATABASE_PASSWORD}@${DATABASE_HOST}:${DATABASE_PORT}/${DATABASE_NAME}?serverVersion=${DATABASE_VERSION}&charset=${DATABASE_CHARSET}

Redis configuration
Below configuration take into account sessions and persistent cache.
ℹ️ Ideally keep both separated as Redis will then start to refuse new entries once full, including new sessions

.env / .env.local

#DB
CACHE_DSN=localhost:6379
CACHE_POOL=cache.redis
CACHE_NAMESPACE=exp
SESSION_HANDLER_ID='ezplatform.core.session.handler.native_redis'
SESSION_SAVE_PATH=localhost:6379

#DB

CACHE_DSN=localhost:6379

CACHE_POOL=cache.redis

CACHE_NAMESPACE=exp

SESSION_HANDLER_ID='ezplatform.core.session.handler.native_redis'

SESSION_SAVE_PATH=localhost:6379

Adapt the yaml configuration:

config/packages/ezplatform.yaml

imports:
    - { resource: cache_pool/cache.redis.yaml }

parameters:
    cache_pool: '%env(CACHE_POOL)%'
    ezplatform.session.handler_id: '%env(SESSION_HANDLER_ID)%'
    ezplatform.session.save_path: '%env(SESSION_SAVE_PATH)%'

imports:

- { resource: cache_pool/cache.redis.yaml }

parameters:

cache_pool: '%env(CACHE_POOL)%'

ezplatform.session.handler_id: '%env(SESSION_HANDLER_ID)%'

ezplatform.session.save_path: '%env(SESSION_SAVE_PATH)%'

config/packages/framework.yaml

session:                                                                                                       
    #handler_id: null

1 2	session: #handler_id: null

Once the installation is done (see “Install Ibexa DXP” section below) and to be sure that data are stored in Redis you can review the cache used in the symfony Profiler toolbar or just monitor the data in redis:

docker exec -ti redis sh -c "redis-cli monitor"

1	docker exec -ti redis sh -c "redis-cli monitor"

For sessions be sure that session are saved in redis

docker exec -ti redis sh -c "redis-cli monitor | grep SESSION"

1	docker exec -ti redis sh -c "redis-cli monitor \| grep SESSION"

ℹ️ you can check the session cookie saved in the browser and compare it to the value in redis

1619873194.987656 [0 172.19.0.1:36142] "SETEX" "PHPREDIS_SESSION:......"

1	1619873194.987656 [0 172.19.0.1:36142] "SETEX" "PHPREDIS_SESSION:......"

Note: If you flush redis cache you are automatically logged out.

Create APP SECRET
below you have different ways to create the APP_SECRET

openssl rand -hex 32
cat /dev/urandom | strings --bytes 1 | tr -d '\n\t [](){}"' | head --bytes 32
http://nux.net/secret
ps | md5sum
php -r "print bin2hex(random_bytes(32));"

openssl rand -hex 32

cat /dev/urandom | strings --bytes 1 | tr -d '\n\t [](){}"' | head --bytes 32

http://nux.net/secret

ps | md5sum

php -r "print bin2hex(random_bytes(32));"

Adapt the APP_SECRET value in the .env as well as in .env.local

Upgrade Ibexa DXP from 3.2.4 to 3.3.1

(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

Before Read: If you run into more issues don’t hesitate to contact me or just ping me in the ezcommunity.slack.com :

During the upgrade from Ibexa DXP 3.2.4 to 3.3.1 (Release date: January 18, 2021) you might meet some troubles regarding the Database upgrades. Basically, the Ibexa 3.3 Upgrade Documentation regarding the git part should almost work. Starting from “Upgrade the database” section you can encounter into below list of issues. This is caused by the migration script which is executed by running below console command:

php bin/console ibexa:upgrade

This installer will upgrade current instance to Ibexa DXP. Are you sure you want to continue? (yes/no) [yes]:
>

php bin/console ibexa:upgrade

This installer will upgrade current instance to Ibexa DXP. Are you sure you want to continue? (yes/no) [yes]:

ℹ️ By the way, this command is executed from the new Ibexa Installer bundle introduced in this release and located in ibexa/installer vendor folder.

ℹ️ This command is located in the Command folder like any Symfony Command

In Ibexa Experience DXP 3.3.1 there are some commerce features available despite of they are part of Ibexa Commerce. Basically, you can make use of some functions like search autosuggestion or Product Catalog and some of the new ContentTypes introduced in this release.

Ibexa DXP 3.2.4 to 3.3.1 Upgrade Issues

The ibexa:upgrade command triggers behind the scene below method:

$this->commerceProvisioner->provision($io);

1	$this->commerceProvisioner->provision($io);

So, if you take a look to the injected CommerceProvisioner service you will find out that the provision() method is executing below migration file:

public function provision(OutputInterface $output): void
    {
        //...
        $migrations = [
            //...
            $this->kernel->locateResource('@IbexaPlatformInstallerBundle/Resources/install/migrations/content_types/201804161300_content_types.yml'),
            //...
        ];

        //...
    }

public function provision(OutputInterface $output): void

{

//...

$migrations = [

//...

$this->kernel->locateResource('@IbexaPlatformInstallerBundle/Resources/install/migrations/content_types/201804161300_content_types.yml'),

//...

];

//...

}

and this is where you will end up with the most migration issues

💡: By the way, you will learn some DB debugging 😉

1. Outdated entries in ezcontentclass_attribute_ml Table

The console error will be something similar to:

In DatabaseException.php line 26:

  Database error

In AbstractMySQLDriver.php line 74:

  An exception occurred while executing 'UPDATE ezcontentclass_attribute_ml S
  ET version = ? WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT f_def.id as ezcontentclass_attribute_i
  d FROM ezcontentclass_attribute f_def WHERE (f_def.contentclass_id = ?) AND
   (f_def.id = ezcontentclass_attribute_ml.contentclass_attribute_id))) AND (
  ezcontentclass_attribute_ml.version = ?)' with params [0, 44, 1]:

  SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '200-
  0-2' for key 'PRIMARY'

In DatabaseException.php line 26:

Database error

In AbstractMySQLDriver.php line 74:

An exception occurred while executing 'UPDATE ezcontentclass_attribute_ml S

ET version = ? WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT f_def.id as ezcontentclass_attribute_i

d FROM ezcontentclass_attribute f_def WHERE (f_def.contentclass_id = ?) AND

(f_def.id = ezcontentclass_attribute_ml.contentclass_attribute_id))) AND (

ezcontentclass_attribute_ml.version = ?)' with params [0, 44, 1]:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '200-

0-2' for key 'PRIMARY'

It happens because some invalid contentclass_attribute_id are available although they don’t exist in the ezcontentclass_attribute table.

So, in my case the last entry in ezcontentclass_attribute is 199 and I don’t have the id 200 in this table although it exists in ezcontentclass_attribute_ml. I find out later that there are more than 5 invalid contentclass_attribute_id in this table.

Basically, a contenttype was deleted but some information still persist in ezcontentclass_attribute_ml, which might be caused by a bug somewhere in the API.

✅ To fix it, you have to delete those invalid rows from the ezcontentclass_attribute_ml table.
ℹ️ And yes as usual you have to backup your DB first.

2. Article ContentType update issue

This issue is caused if you are using the default article ContentType delivered with the default Ibexa installation otherwise the script will break because your installation doesn’t contain this ContentType on update.

-
    type: content_type
    mode: update
    match:
        field: content_type_identifier
        value: article

type: content_type

mode: update

match:

field: content_type_identifier

value: article

In my use case, The migration script will fail because the image FieldType in place is using ezimage and the migration script is trying to convert this field to ezobjectrelation. So, the error you get will be similar to:

13:02:46 INFO      [app] Processing step: 16
13:02:46 INFO      [app] Type "content_type" | Mode: "update" | Matching step: "Ibexa\Platform\Migration\ValueObject\Step\ContentTypeUpdateStep"
In ContentTypeUpdateStepExecutor.php line 283:
  [RuntimeException]
  Field definition type cannot be updated. In order to change field definition type remove field with old type and add a new one.

13:02:46 INFO [app] Processing step: 16

13:02:46 INFO [app] Type "content_type" | Mode: "update" | Matching step: "Ibexa\Platform\Migration\ValueObject\Step\ContentTypeUpdateStep"

In ContentTypeUpdateStepExecutor.php line 283:

[RuntimeException]

Field definition type cannot be updated. In order to change field definition type remove field with old type and add a new one.

Basically, if the script fails at this step you won’t be able to fix it. BUT..

I will recommend to copy the 201804161300_content_types.yml script somewhere in your installation and remove the ezimage update field and execute the script again using:

php bin/console ibexa:migrations:migrate --loader=local --file=NEW-PATH/201804161300_content_types.yml -n

1	php bin/console ibexa:migrations:migrate --loader=local --file=NEW-PATH/201804161300_content_types.yml -n

Now everything should work as expected but if you run into more issues don’t hesitate to contact me or just ping me in ezcommunity.slack.com:

I’ll do my best to help you 🙂

Upgrade to eZ Platform / Ibexa 3.2.4 Error TranslationResourceFilesPass – Bazinga Js Translation Bundle

(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

During upgrading to the latest eZ Platform 3.2.4 you will get below error when the cache clear command is executed:

Script symfony-cmd handling the auto-scripts event returned with error code 127
Script @auto-scripts was called via post-update-cmd

1 2	Script symfony-cmd handling the auto-scripts event returned with error code 127 Script @auto-scripts was called via post-update-cmd

The error output doesn’t explain what really happened during this process. By running the cache clear command using the verbose option we can see the right error message:

bin/console cache:clear -vvv

In TranslationResourceFilesPass.php line 58:
Warning: array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, object given

bin/console cache:clear -vvv

In TranslationResourceFilesPass.php line 58:

Warning: array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, object given

The cause of this issue is related to Bazinga Js Translation Bundle which is being used in: ezplatform-admin-ui v2.2.3

"willdurand/js-translation-bundle": "^3.0",

The good news is that this issue is fixed in js-translation-bundle v4.x. You can find the PR here another good news ezplatform-admin-ui v2.3.x is using now the right Bazinga Js Translation Bundle version for eZ Platform 3.3.

The bad news of course you are not able to upgrade to eZ Platform 3.2.4 when using php7.4. Until a fix is delivered by Ibexa.

But there is one quick solution until the fix is available. I have just forked the ezplatform-admin-ui v2.2.3 bundle, upgrading to:

"willdurand/js-translation-bundle": "^4.0"

1	"willdurand/js-translation-bundle": "^4.0"

and creating a new tag of the ezplatform-admin-ui v2.2.4

Composer should now know about the above fork:

"repositories": [
    {"type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/arfaram/ezplatform-admin-ui"}

1 2	"repositories": [ {"type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/arfaram/ezplatform-admin-ui"}

When you run composer update, you should get the modified version of ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui instead of the one from packagist.

eZPlatform display content and override field template

(3 votes, average: 2.33 out of 5)

This is the final result how to add content relations filed to an existing content type and override or customize the image template (tested with ezplatform 1.3 and ezplatform 1.4):

With eZPlatform we can easily create content types and also create the corresponding Twig templates to render content.

In this video you can learn how to create content types in the eZPlatform Backend UI:

Once the new content type is created you should then create the Twig template to get the content of the different fields.

You can follow the instructions in this video tutorial and see how to create a content type template:

You find the basic code example here: https://gist.github.com/ramzi-arfaoui/abbf0cdcfb3bf29c9a293e76b352d455 (doesn’t contain the content relations example)

You can browse or download the whole bundle from here: https://bitbucket.org/Ramzi-Arfaoui/ezplatform-project-bundle/src (the content relations definition and template are available here)

Content type definition is also available here: http://www.screencast.com/t/WnwchfxA

As example how to override a template field , we wil examinate images added as content relations (Multiple) [ezobjectrelationlist]. In the programming language we call this type of relations “related objects”.

The ezobjectrelationlist field type content relations is defined as following:

Name:(required) to display it later when editing a content item.
Identifier:(required) unique filed name (maschine name) . Generally lowercase without special characters or spaces.
Default location:(optional) from where we should add related objects. Outside this location it is not possible to add or bind any content. In our case images.
Allowed content types: (optional) if this is defined, the editor will be able only to add a specific content type(s). In this example we will only allow the editor to add image content type.

Here is an example from our vehicle content type. The editor is only allowed to add images from the Vehicule Images folder defined in the media library.

Expamle adding images within the content item:

Let see now the output result in the twig template using two diffrent functions:

{{ ez_render_field(content, 'images') }}

1	{{ ez_render_field(content, 'images') }}

{{ content.getFieldValue('images') }}

1	{{ content.getFieldValue('images') }}

Here is the output results:

In both cases , we get either the image names or the contentIds of the related objects. But we need the whole content of the image like the image itself and the alternative text.

To have this informations we have to get the image content from the available contentId. This is possible when using the ez_content controller

{{ render( controller( "ez_content:viewAction", {"contentId": 123, "viewType": "line"} ) ) }}

1	{{ render( controller( "ez_content:viewAction", {"contentId": 123, "viewType": "line"} ) ) }}

More information about the ez_content controller can you find it also here: https://doc.ez.no/display/DEVELOPER/Content+Rendering

Using this controller we can now extend the vehicle twig template:

{% set contentIds = content.getFieldValue('images') %}
{% for contentId in contentIds.destinationContentIds %}
    {{ render( controller( "ez_content:viewAction", {'contentId': contentId, 'viewType': 'line', 'params': {  'class': 'img-responsive' } } ) ) }}
{% endfor %}

{% set contentIds = content.getFieldValue('images') %}

{% for contentId in contentIds.destinationContentIds %}

{{ render( controller( "ez_content:viewAction", {'contentId': contentId, 'viewType': 'line', 'params': { 'class': 'img-responsive' } } ) ) }}

{% endfor %}

{# we can also store the above loop code in another twig template and then we just included here, so that we can re-use it for other content types to render something like gallery,carousel or header images  #}

1	{# we can also store the above loop code in another twig template and then we just included here, so that we can re-use it for other content types to render something like gallery,carousel or header images #}

More template functions are available here: https://gist.github.com/ramzi-arfaoui/797e56d25f203420ee1634db09c58a55

The viewType option allow us to override the default template for common view types.

So now we open the ezplatform.yml and we add following code:

system:
    default:
        content_view:
            line:
                image:
                    template: ProjectAppBundle:line:image.html.twig
                    match:
                        Identifier\ContentType: image

system:

default:

content_view:

line:

image:

template: ProjectAppBundle:line:image.html.twig

match:

Identifier\ContentType: image

You have to customize the template line with your bundle name and you can use also a diffrent name for you twig template or your view Type.

Using the code above we can get the image content object using the default ez_content controller . At this step you can economise your time to write your own controller.

let define now the twig template. this must be located within the line folder:

{# image.html.twig #}
{% if content.getField('image').value %}
    &lt;img class="{{class|default('')}}" src="{{ content.getField('image').value.uri }}" alt="{{ content.getField('image').value.alternativeText  }}" /&gt;
{% endif %}

{# image.html.twig #}

{% if content.getField('image').value %}

{% endif %}

class: we have added the ‘img-responsive’ class from the vehicle twig template. Per default is empty (|default(”)).
src: contains the image path. This is also the general use to get an image path.
alt: is defined in the image content type.

This is now the final html source code :

 <img class="img-responsive" src="/var/site/storage/images/3/9/1/0/193-4-eng-GB/vw_2.jpg" alt="my alternative text" />

1	<img class="img-responsive" src="/var/site/storage/images/3/9/1/0/193-4-eng-GB/vw_2.jpg" alt="my alternative text" />

Drupal 8: Custom theme site logo

(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

The simple way to custom your site logo in Drupal8 is to upload your logo with the name logo.svg in your custom theme directory. The Path is something like : sites/YOUR-SITE.com/themes/MY-THEME/logo.svg. This will override the Drupal8 default logo.

The second way is from the Backend . Just go to Appearance->Settings->Global settings and in the “Logo image settings” give the path where your logo.png is.

Just change “YOUR-SITE.com” and “MY-THEME” with your custom folder names.

Drupal8:Rendering multiple TWIG template

(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

I meet this situation as i wanted to add some hard coded text bevor the pagination table. It is just a demonstration how to render multiple TWIG templates within one return and can be useful to add third party code like external services (RSS, Webservices …)

$template['my_custom_html_content_headline'] = [
										'#theme' => 'custom_html_content_page',
										'#html' => t('<h1>Headline</h1>'),
										];
$template['my_custom_html_content_text'] = [
										'#theme' => 'custom_html_content_page',
										'#html' => t('<p>Lorem ipsum ...</p>'),
										];							
return $template;

$template['my_custom_html_content_headline'] = [

'#theme' => 'custom_html_content_page',

'#html' => t('<h1>Headline</h1>'),

];

$template['my_custom_html_content_text'] = [

'#theme' => 'custom_html_content_page',

'#html' => t('<p>Lorem ipsum ...</p>'),

];

return $template;

The “custom_html_content_page” template theme should be defined in mymodule.module file, something like:

<?php

/**
 * Implements hook_theme().
 */
function mymodule_theme() {

	$templates = array('custom_html_content_page' => array(
													'variables' => ['html' => NULL],
													'template' => 'custom_html_content',
													),
						
					);


  return $templates;
									
}

<?php

/**

* Implements hook_theme().

function mymodule_theme() {

$templates = array('custom_html_content_page' => array(

'variables' => ['html' => NULL],

'template' => 'custom_html_content',

);

return $templates;

}

And finally the TWIG template in the templates folder:

{{html}}

OUTPUT:

Headline

Lorem ipsum …

Drupal8:Basic Jquery Ajax custom module controller

(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

In the previous tutorial (drupal8-create-module-with-multiple-route-and-custom-route-contoller-twig-template/) we have create a custom modul using different Route and some TWIG templates. Now we want to call one of the route using Ajax .

First of all, we should have create a custom theme and add our custom JavaScript file in MY-THME.info.yml :

libraries:
  - office/global-scripting

1 2	libraries: - office/global-scripting

Now we have to define the “global-scripting” in the MY-THME.libraries.yml

global-scripting:
  js:
    js/ajax.js: {}
  dependencies:
    - core/jquery

global-scripting:

js:

js/ajax.js: {}

dependencies:

- core/jquery

In js/ajax.js we add the usual Jquery ajax code

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	
	 $('#main').on( "click", '.callController',function(event) {
		event.preventDefault();
		var href = $(this).attr('href');

		var html = $.ajax({
			type: "POST",
			url: href,
			data: {"ajaxCall":true},
			async: false
			}).responseText;
			
			if(html != "error"){

				window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", href);
	
				$("#content").html(html);


				return false; 
			} else {
					$("#content").html('error');
				
				return false;
			}
		return false;

	});
});

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

$('#main').on( "click", '.callController',function(event) {

event.preventDefault();

var href = $(this).attr('href');

var html = $.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: href,

data: {"ajaxCall":true},

async: false

}).responseText;

if(html != "error"){

window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", href);

$("#content").html(html);

return false;

} else {

$("#content").html('error');

return false;

}

return false;

});

Let explain what we have define in the js/ajax.js:
1. The HTML Link to click:

<div id="main">.... 
<a class="callController" href="/contact/edit/12">Edit</a>
...
</div>
<div id="content"></div>

<div id="main">....

...

</div>

2. Then we have to prevent to reload the page with: event.preventDefault();
3. We get the content of the href attribute, because this will be the Ajax Route call:

var href = $(this).attr('href');

1	var href = $(this).attr('href');

4. Now we start the Ajax call , we will add a post variable, that indicate our controller that we are comming from an ajax request.
5. We set the URL in the browser with the Route using:

window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", href);

1	window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", href);

Why we do this ? Simple , if Google will index our link or user disable Javascript in the browser , we have then to be sure that the link will works without the ajax call . In the Controller we will have a condition using the post variable “ajaxCall”.
6. The Controller response will then displayed in the content div.

$("#content").html(html);

1	$("#content").html(html);

So now we have to extend the editContact($id) Method within the custom module Controller “ContactController”:

	public function editContact($id) {
		
		

		$tplVariables = [
					'#theme' => 'contact_edit_page',
					'#id' => $id
					];
                 //Refreshing the page or comming from Search Engine.This will render the whole HTML page.
		if (!isset($_REQUEST['ajaxCall']))
				return $tplVariables;
	
                //The Ajax call. This will render only the TWIG template.
		return new Response(render($tplVariables));
	}

public function editContact($id) {

$tplVariables = [

'#theme' => 'contact_edit_page',

'#id' => $id

];

//Refreshing the page or comming from Search Engine.This will render the whole HTML page.

if (!isset($_REQUEST['ajaxCall']))

return $tplVariables;

//The Ajax call. This will render only the TWIG template.

return new Response(render($tplVariables));

}

You will be able now to call your own Business Logic, extend and transfer your variables to the TWIG tempalte.
IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to define your variables first in mymodule.module . Clearing the cache if no changes can be very helpful.

drupal8: create module with multiple route and custom Route Contoller Twig Template

(2 votes, average: 4.50 out of 5)

In the most example of drupal8 you will experiment the Hello World module. This is just a demostration how you can create your custom module within the new drupal8 concept.

But your application can be more complicated as just a Hello World module, you want may be create one module, multiple route and a custom twig template for each route

User case is if you want to create your own module but managing a multiple Route within one module.

When you add a new yaml file you should uninstall the modul and insatll it again. I haven’t found other solution for this right now ! This will help you if you can’t see any changes when you add some configuration or yml files.Or when you get following error:
Theme hook YOUR-TEMPLATE not found.

Let say you want to create a module to manage contact and edit them. My Module in this case is named “mymodule”

Let start to create the diffrent route in “mymodule.routing.yml” file:

mymodule.contacts_show:
  path: '/contacts/show'
  defaults:
    _controller: '\Drupal\database\Controller\ContactController::getContacts'
    _title: 'Contacts'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'
mymodule.contact_edit:
  path: '/contact/edit/{id}'
  defaults:
    _controller: '\Drupal\database\Controller\ContactController::editContact'
    _title: 'Edit Contact'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

mymodule.contacts_show:

path: '/contacts/show'

defaults:

_controller: '\Drupal\database\Controller\ContactController::getContacts'

_title: 'Contacts'

requirements:

_permission: 'access content'

mymodule.contact_edit:

path: '/contact/edit/{id}'

defaults:

_controller: '\Drupal\database\Controller\ContactController::editContact'

_title: 'Edit Contact'

requirements:

_permission: 'access content'

Add your Conroller in src folder with the name ContactController.php:

<?php 
  namespace Drupal\mymodule\Controller; 
  use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase; 
  class ContactController extends ControllerBase 
  { 
    public function getContacts($name) 
    { 
      //here you can define you business logic, like Database querys , forms ...and you can transmit variable in the return array 
      return [ '#theme' => 'contacts_show_page'];
    } 
    public function editContact($id) 
    { 
      return  [ '#theme' => 'contact_edit_page', 
               '#id' => $id 
              ];
    } 
  } 
?>

<?php

namespace Drupal\mymodule\Controller;

use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class ContactController extends ControllerBase

{

public function getContacts($name)

{

//here you can define you business logic, like Database querys , forms ...and you can transmit variable in the return array

return [ '#theme' => 'contacts_show_page'];

}

public function editContact($id)

{

return [ '#theme' => 'contact_edit_page',

'#id' => $id

];

}

Create following yml file “mymodule.module”:

<?php 
/** 
* Implements hook_theme(). 
*/ 
function database_theme() 
{ 
   $templates = array('contacts_show_page' => array('template' =>'contacts_show'),
		      'contact_edit_page'  => array('variables' => ['id' => NULL],'template' => 'contact_edit')
		      );
  return $templates;
									
}

<?php

/**

* Implements hook_theme().

function database_theme()

{

$templates = array('contacts_show_page' => array('template' =>'contacts_show'),

'contact_edit_page' => array('variables' => ['id' => NULL],'template' => 'contact_edit')

);

return $templates;

}

At the end just create the Twig templates within your templates folder:

templates/contact_edit.html.twig

   This is id : {{id}}

1	This is id : {{id}}

templates/contacts_show.html.twig

   This is the Contacts show twig template

1	This is the Contacts show twig template

So now, you are able to create diffrent routes and templates using Drupal8 and transfer variables from the controller to the twig template
using your own business logic operations.
