ezwt: the website toolbar #

This page is for designers who add editing to a public site design. ezwt ("eZ Website Toolbar LS") is the editing toolbar a logged-in editor sees on the public site: edit, move, remove, create here, sort sub items, change the state, upload or export a document. It requires ezjscore. ezwebin, ezflow, ezdemo and the simple theme all build on it.

Replaced by expwt. The website sidebar expwt replaces ezwt. Since 6.0.15 no site package installs the ezwt_extension package, and the site package installers activate expwt in its place (see Site packages no longer install extension packages and Extensions of a new installation). An existing installation moves with ./console exp:wt:migrate-from-ezwt --apply.

Put it in your design #

1. In pagelayout.tpl, wrap the toolbar in a cache block keyed by the user's roles, so it adds no SQL:

{def $user_hash = concat( $current_user.role_id_list|implode( '_' ), '_', $current_user.limited_assignment_value_list|implode( '_' ) )}
{cache-block keys=array( $uri_string, $user_hash )}
    {include uri='design:parts/website_toolbar.tpl' current_node_id=$module_result.node_id}
{/cache-block}

2. Load stylesheets/websitetoolbar.css with ezdesign.
3. In content/edit.tpl, include design:parts/website_toolbar_edit.tpl; in the version view template, include the matching part.
4. Sign in as an editor and open a page: the toolbar shows above the content.
