Problem when using as global block
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi, I've just installed Superfish. It added to my page just fine, but when I try and make it into a global block, it breaks (see attachment). Here's what I've done:
Downloaded and installed SF
Added block to homepage page
Copied block to global scrapbook and renamed to "GlobalNav"
Deleted original block from homepage
Added this code to my default.php:
$block = Block::getByName('GloblaNav'); if( is_object($block) ) $block->display();
And that's when the block breaks. It works well before I copy and make it global, but not after
I haven't got any CSS that would interfere with ULs, LIs or any similarly named DIVs, just some basic CSS.
Is this fixable? We've got a few pages to add this to, and I'd rather not be adding it to every new page the client makes. Ta!

Just an additional help note that the code should be place below this code:
...I just learned the hard way when placing it above the code 1) disabled editing of any block within the site, and 2) caused some hover problems with submenus.
<?php echo Loader::element('header_required');?>

still cannot figure this method out - and is not showing up after adding it to the Global Scrapbook and editing the header.php file appropriately.
Really - i don't want to have to keep adding it to pages every new page and i would like to consolidate all changes to 1 style sheet.

If you are manually adding the JavaScipt and CSS to the header you might want to stop C5 from inserting the default JavaScript and CSS again if you have another block with a Superfish Nav menu in the page.
To do this you can copy root/concrete/libraries/view.php to root/libraries/view.php
You can then change the outputHeaderItems() function where it is:
To something like this:
If you do this you will just need to ensure that your own CSS does the styling for instances of Superfish you add to the site.

To something like this:
foreach($items as $hi) { if (substr_count($hi->file, 'superfish') == 0) { print $hi; // caled on two seperate lines because of pre php 5.2 __toString issues print "\n"; } // End IF not superfish files }

Grayda, I don't know if you're still trying to figure this out, but I just was looking to do the same thing. I noticed that your $block = line has GlobalNav wrong, you've reversed the al, so it's GloblaNav. It will definitely break with that typo!
Another approach would be to add it to the default blocks for the Page Type you're working with.
Go to Dashboard > Pages & Themes > Page Types and then click your page's Defaults button. Place a block, save the page type, and SF should be called on every page using that template.

Matt... After pressing the page's Default button and entering edit mode, there's nothing to press to add a block. This is incredibly frustrating when the instructions do not match what I have available to me.
When you put the "Default" page in edit mode, you should see all the editable areas you usually do on your site: Add To Header, Add To Main, etc.
What theme are you using?
What theme are you using?
We are using the "Plain Yogurt" theme. The only editable areas that show in full-width are the navbar and image header at the top. Clicking on either of these do not give me the option to "Add To" anything.
We had purchased and were using the "Camera Arts" theme, but found it had far too many restrictions, so settled on the default "Plain Yogurt" theme.

Which page type ae you trying to edit? Just to make sure we're talking about the same stuff, here's what I'm doing, step-by-step:
1. Go to Dashboard > Pages and Themes
2. Click "Page Types" from the top menu
3. In the row for the "Full Width" page type, I click the Defaults button
4. The page template opens in a new tab, in Edit mode.
5. I click Add to Main (or any of the editable areas) and add the block I'd like to make default.
6. I Click Exit Edit Mode from the toolbar, then Publish my Edits.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like when I edit the Full Width page type defaults.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/packages/superfish/blocks/superfish/css/superfish.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/packages/superfish/blocks/superfish/js/superfish.js"></script>
That should fix that problem.
