I am new to zendframework . I am trying to implement two step view lay out:
Bootstrap.php(view/Bootstrap.php)
<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
public function _initRoutes()
{
$options = array(
'layout' => 'layout',
'layoutPath' => '/layout/layout.phtml',);
$layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
}
}?>
layout.phtml(application/view/scripts/layout/layout.phtml)
<?php
include "header.php";
?>
// view contents goes here.
<?php
$this->layout()->content;
?>
// footer goes here.
<?php
include "footer.phtml";
?>
i am a absolute beginner step by step explanation is more appreciated .Thanks.
The easiest way to enable layouts is to run the Zend_Tool command from the command line zf enable layout, this will add the line
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
to your application.ini and build the directory for the layout and the default file layout.phtml.
Alternatively you can specify your layout path and default layout name with 2 lines in your application.ini file:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts" //path to layout
resources.layout.layout = master //name of layout without extension
other layout/view options may be set in your application.ini to be callled in your view:
;View Settings
;*************
resources.view[]=
resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
resources.view.language = "en"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
then in your bootstrap.php you can call on these resources to initialize your view:
/**
* initialize the registry and asign application.ini to config namespace
*/
protected function _initRegistry() {
//make application.ini configuration available in registry
$config = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
}
/**
* initialize the view and return it
* #return \Zend_View
*/
protected function _initView() {
//Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
//add custom view helper path
$view->addHelperPath('/../library/Application/View/Helper');
//set doctype for default layout
$view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
//set default title
$view->headTitle('Our Home');
//set head meta data
$view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', Zend_Registry::get(
'config')->resources->view->contentType);
//set css includes
$view->headLink()->setStylesheet('/css/normalize.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/liquid.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/typography.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet(
'/javascript/mediaelement/build/mediaelementplayer.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/nav.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/table.css');
//add javascript files
$view->headScript()->setFile('/javascript/mediaelement/build/jquery.js');
//add it to the view renderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
'ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
I also included a convenience method _initRegistry() to make config options available everywhere with minimal code.
The layout in ZF is a simple html page with placeholder added for dynamic or configured options:
<?php
echo $this->doctype() . "\n"; //placeholder assigned in bootstrap $view->doctype
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<?php echo $this->headMeta() . "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink() . "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap ?>
<?php echo $this->headscript(). "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap?>
</head>
<body>
<section class="container">
<header class="block">
<hgroup id="header" class ="column span-24">
<h1>Our Page</h1>
</hgroup>
<nav>
<div id="nav" class="column span-24">
<?php echo $this->layout()->nav //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<section class="block">
<div id="main" class="column span-18 border">
<div id="flash">
<?php
//flash messenger display location
if (count($this->messages) > 0) {
printf("<h3 id='flash'>%s</h3>", $this->messages[0]);
}
?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; //placeholder for redering views ?>
</div>
<aside id="sidebar" class="column span-4 last">
<?php echo $this->layout()->search //custom placeholder ?>
<div id="subNav">
<?php echo $this->layout()->subNav //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
<div id="adminMenu">
<?php echo $this->layout()->adminMenu //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
</aside>
</section>
<footer class="block">
<div id="footer" class="column span-24">
<p>Created by <em>Your Name</em> with Zend Framework. © </p>
</div>
</footer>
</section>
</body>
</html>
<?php echo $this->inlineScript() ?> //javascript includes at bottom of page
Hope this helps.
Well first off, youre initializing the layout in a method that would seem to be for your routing - probably a bad idea. Secondly if youre using the full stack with Zend_Application then you can use the provided Zend_Application_Resource_Layout and set all your options from configuration.
Additionally you dont want to use a raw include statement to pull in content you should use $this->render('thetemplate.phtml') from within your layout file. Check out the Zend_Layout Quickstart for more info on that.

I am new to zend framework here i am facing problem with displaying navigations. in pure php i can serve my navigation by checking sessions. like this:
<?php
if($_SESSION['usertype']=='admin')
{
echo "<li>adddbook </li>";
}
?>
My question is how can i implement this in zend framework. Thanks
You can do this in a myriad of ways like the Zend_Auth, but the closes to the $_SESSION method is using Zend_Session.
First you need to start Zend_Session before any output is sent to the browser, just like a normal php session. I do it in my index.php right after setting all my paths and autoloaders.
Zend_Session::start();
Next step is creating a namespace for the userinformation and adding the relevant information to it, preferably when you authenticate the user.
$userInfo = new Zend_Session_Namespace('userInfo');
$userInfo->userType = 'admin';
This is the equivalent to setting a $_SESSION['userInfo']['userType'] = 'admin';
Last, get the information in your layout:
<?php
$userInfo = new Zend_Session_Namespace('userInfo');
if($userInfo->userType=='admin')
{
echo "<li>addbook </li>";
}
?>
Read this link for more information http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.session.html
If you want to check an user role, you could use the class Zend_Auth provided by the framework. You can check the credential of a user and then affect it a role.
To retrieve this role you can check the identity of the user with the Zend_Auth instance :
$identity = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity();
if (strcmp($identity->role, "admin") == 0) {
echo '<li>adddbook </li>';
}
My zend layout and scripts are detecting fine. but when in init function of my IndexController I write $this->view->render("header.phtml") It does not show anything one the screen, whereas when I write echo ($this->view->render("header.phtml"); it displays my header.phtml file. Here is my IndexController
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function init()
{
$layout = $this->_helper->layout();
//$this->view = $this->getResource('View');
echo ($this->view->render("header.phtml"));
//echo"<pre>";
//var_dump($this->view);
//var_dump(APPICATION_PATH);
}
public function indexAction()
{
// action body
echo "In default index con";
}
}
Also when Igive my url to/mypath/index It does not display the simple line "I'm in index controller" which I'm just echoing. In my bootstrap here is my Zend_Layout settings.
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_View');
$this->view = new Zend_View();
$this->view->setEncoding('UTF-8');
$this->view->setScriptPath($this->root .'/application/default/views/scripts');
$viewRenderer=new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
// Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
// $view->setScriptPath($this->root.'/'.$theme.'/views/scripts/');
//$view->setScriptPath($this->root.'/application/default/views/scripts/');
$this->view->addScriptPath($this->root.'/application/admin/views/scripts');
$this->view->addScriptPath($this->root.'/application/business/views/scripts');
// $this->view->setHelperPath($this->root .'/application/default/views/helpers');
$this->layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc(
array(
'layoutPath' => $this->root . '/application/default/views/'.$crt_theme.'/layouts',
'layout' => 'layout'
)
);
$this->registry->set("theme", $crt_theme);
variable $crt_theme is set to 'default'.
Rob' answer is correct although you may need some more information as you appear to be working hard at making this complicated. ZF when used as an MVC has a place to put layouts and defaults for using them.
If you are using the Zend_Tool command line interface start with the commmand: zf enable layout and the tool will add the default directory and a default layout.phtml to your project.
in the application.ini it will add the line:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
and at that path it will add the file layout.phtml
If you need to change the name of the default layout add this line with the name of your script without the .phtml
resources.layout.layout = master
There are as many ways as you can think of to use this file, but here is an example of how I use it.
I like to set my project defaults in my application.ini file so if I need to change anything it's easy.
View Settings
;*************
resources.view[]=
resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
resources.view.language = "en"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
then in my bootstrap I setup the view I want use, I do it here so that if I have multiple layouts (i usually do) it's easy to change css or js files in one place.
protected function _initView() {
//Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->addHelperPath('/../library/Application/View/Helper');
$view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
$view->headTitle('Our Home');
$view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', Zend_Registry::get(
'config')->resources->view->contentType);
$view->headLink()->setStylesheet('/css/normalize.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/liquid.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/typography.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet(
'/javascript/mediaelement/build/mediaelementplayer.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/nav.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/table.css');
//add javascript files
$view->headScript()->setFile('/javascript/mediaelement/build/jquery.js');
$view->headScript()->appendFile('/javascript/modernizr.js');
//add it to the view renderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
'ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
Notice all of those headLink(), headScript() and docType() entries, these are where the data is set for placeholders, that will be used in the layout.
Now the layout, the actual content from your other action based scripts will typically be rendered by the placeholder $this->layout()->content
<?php
echo $this->doctype() . "\n";//placeholder
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<?php echo $this->headMeta() . "\n" ?><!-- displays all meta data passed -->
<?php echo $this->headLink() . "\n" ?><!-- displays all links passed -->
<?php echo $this->headscript(). "\n"?><!-- displays all scripts passed -->
</head>
<body>
<section class="container">
<header class="block">
<hgroup id="header" class ="column span-24">
<h1>Our Home</h1>
</hgroup>
<nav>
<div id="nav" class="column span-24">
<?php echo $this->layout()->nav ?> <!-- Custom Placeholder -->
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<section class="block">
<div id="main" class="column span-18 border">
<div id="flash">
<?php
//flash messenger display location
if (count($this->messages) > 0) {
printf("<h3 id='flash'>%s</h3>", $this->messages[0]);
}
?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?><!-- Default placeholder, where views are rendered -->
</div>
<aside id="sidebar" class="column span-4 last">
<?php echo $this->layout()->search ?><!-- Custom placeholder -->
<div id="subNav">
<?php echo $this->layout()->subNav ?> <!-- Custom placeholder -->
</div>
<div id="adminMenu">
<h4>Administration Links</h4>
<?php echo $this->layout()->adminMenu ?> <!-- Custom placeholder -->
</div>
</aside>
</section>
<footer class="block">
<div id="footer" class="column span-24">
<p>Created with Zend Framework. © </p>
</div>
</footer>
</section>
<?php echo $this->inlineScript() ?><!-- placeholder -->
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps!
[Edit]
One more thing, this always seems to be the next question. "How do I change my layout from the default in my controller/action?"
to change the layout from your controller you would typically do it with a preDispatch() method and just pass the name of your new layout to the layout helper.
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('myOtherLayout');
doing just this will change the layout for every action in the controller. To be more selective you can use a conditional, like:
if ($this->getRequest()->getActionName() == 'player') {
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('player');//reset layout
//add 2 new headscripts
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile(
'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js'
);
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile(
'/javascript/mediaplayer/jwplayer.js'
);
}
render() is working as intended; it returns a string that you should then echo.
It is very unusual to be rendering directly in a controller however. At a minimum, you should be rendering your header and footer from views/scripts/index/index.phtml, though using Zend_Layout would be even better. If you are using Zend_Application, then you can start using Zend_Layout simply by adding:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
to your application/config/application.ini file. You then need to create a application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml file which could look something like this:
<?php
$this->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html;charset=utf-8');
$this->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ');
$this->headTitle('My website');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
<!-- Other <head> elements and view helpers here -->
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
i want to add a dropdown menu to my layout .
i have a list of hotels . i want to change the hotel from a dropdown , i need to keep that drop down in my layout.phtml .
problem is hotel list is dynamic.
can i do this , is this possible in zend ,
here is my layout,phtml
i need to add a dropdown to <div class="floatright wid35 textaligncenter padtop5">
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $this->docType(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headStyle(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $this->render('admin/header.phtml'); ?>
<div id="contentColumns" class="columns">
<div id="columnRight" class="column-right"></div>
<div id="columnLeft" class="column-right">
<div class="link-guide">
<div id="breadcrumbs" class="floatleft wid60">
<?php echo $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->setLinkLast(false)->setMinDepth(0)->render(); ?>
</div>
<div class="floatright wid35 textaligncenter padtop5">
</div>
</div>
<div class="padding-box">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<?php echo $this->render('admin/footer.phtml'); ?>
</body>
</html>
No. Layout files represent the static structure of a page like header and footer and everything you wrap around your dynamic content.
So this is not recommended. However you could solve that implementing the _init method of your main controller and extend any controller with that main controller:
class MainController extends Zend_Action_Controller{
function init(){
$this->view->foo = "Show everywhere!";
}
}
class IndexController extends MainController{
public function indexAction(){
$this->view->bar = "Show only on index/index";
}
}
Or you can use a plugin which would be the more elegant way
class MyPlugin extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request){
$view = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::
getStaticHelper('viewRenderer')->view;
$view->foo = "bar";
}
}
and in your bootstrap process register that plugin
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->registerPlugin(new MyPlugin);
You can create preDispatch function in your base controller class.
Then you get hotel list and send it to view:
$this->view->hotels = $hotels;
And in your layout you can parse it as you wish.
I see two issues here:
Using your hotel list in a dropdown suggests that you will have a form My_Form_Hotels extending Zend_Form which accepts the hotel list as a constructor parameter.
Where should you populate the hotel list, instantiate the form, and communicate all this to the view/layout for rendering?
Sounds like a front controller plugin would do the job. Since the layout resource functions as a plugin that runs late in postDispatch(), you need to run yours before that. dispatchLoopStartup() should be fine.
Something like this in library/My/Plugin/HotelForm.php:
class My_Plugin_HotelForm extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function dispatchLoopStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$hotelModel = new My_Model_Hotel();
$hotels = $hotelModel->getAllHotels();
$form = new My_Form_Hotels($hotels);
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$view = $viewRenderer->getView();
$view->hotelForm = $form;
}
}
Then in your layout, simply dump the form using $this->hotelForm.
To enable your plugin, add to application/configs/application.ini:
autoloaderNamespaces[] = 'My_"
resources.frontcontroller.plugins[] = "My_Plugin_HotelForm"
I have a Zend_Dojo_Form which I have moved from my view (where it works fine) to my layout, as it's something that will be useful on every page. However in the layout the form no longer works - none of the dijit elements appear and it behaves just as a normal HTML form would.
Here's the relevant part of my bootstrap:
protected function _initView()
{
Zend_Layout::startMvc(array(
'layoutPath' => '../application/layouts',
'layout' => 'default'
));
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->setEncoding('UTF-8')
->doctype('HTML5');
// init Dojo
Zend_Dojo::enableView($view);
$view->dojo()->enable()
->setCdnVersion('1.5')
->requireModule('dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore')
[...]
->addStyleSheetModule('dijit.themes.tundra');
// assign the view to the viewRenderer, so it will be used by the MVC actions
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
return $view;
}
there are no errors (JS or ZF), the form just doesn't work as it should.
I assume I need to Dojo enable the Layout view in some way. I tried changing the layout part of the bootstrap method above to this:
$layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc(array(
'layoutPath' => '../application/layouts',
'layout' => 'default'
));
$view = $layout->getView();
Zend_Dojo::enableView($view);
$layout->setView($view);
but that didn't make any difference.
I found this question which sounds very similar to my problem, but the accepted answer just shows including the dojo helper in the layout, which I am doing already.
This is most probably due to that you have the layout as suggested in the docs:
<?php echo $this->doctype() ?>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $this->headTitle() ?>
<?php echo $this->headMeta() ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink() ?>
<?php echo $this->headStyle() ?>
<?php if ($this->dojo()->isEnabled()){
$this->dojo()->setLocalPath('/js/dojo/dojo.js')
->addStyleSheetModule('dijit.themes.tundra');
echo $this->dojo();
}
?>
<?php echo $this->headScript() ?>
</head>
<body class="tundra">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content ?>
<?php echo $this->inlineScript() ?>
</body>
</html>
The problem is the echo $this->dojo() must be after the $this->form->render() otherwise the required modules won't have been registered in Zend_Dojo.
I would like to create a subordinate set of CMS pages in Magento so that the breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page looks like this:
Home > Parent CMS Page > Child CMS Page
Even though I can specify a hierarchical relationship with the URL key field, it seems to be that all CMS pages in Magento are listed in the root directory by default:
Home > Child CMS Page
Any ideas?
You are right, there is no hierarchy of CMS pages in Magento. The best solution would be to create a real hierarchy by adding a parent_id to CMS pages and modifying the CMS module to handle nested URLs and breadcrumbs. But that requires a lot of coding.
A quick-and-dirty hack is to modify the breadcrumbs manually on each subpage by adding something like this to the layout update XML:
<reference name="root">
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>breadcrumbs</alias></action>
<block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs">
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>home</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>Home page</label><title>Home page</title><link>/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>myparentpage</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>My Parent Page</label><title>My Parent Page</title><link>/myparentpage/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>mysubpage</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>My Sub Page</label><title>My Sub Page</title></crumbInfo>
</action>
</block>
</reference>
I had the same problem with breadcrumbs and cms pages a few days ago check here ->
Similar to Anders Rasmussen post I edited every cms page manually
In breadcrumbs.phtml I added a little condition to define if a Page is a CMS page (thanks to Alan Storm) and remove standard crumb(s) and added new crumbs via xmllayout.
<?php
if($this->getRequest()->getModuleName() == 'cms'){
unset($crumbs['cms_page']);
}
?>
xml:
<reference name="breadcrumbs">
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>cms_page_1st_child</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>1st child</label><title>1st child</title><link>/1st child/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>cms_page_2nd_child</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>2nd child</label><title>2nd child</title></crumbInfo>
</action>
</reference>

This is my solution of the problem. I use custom layout for most of the CMS pages (default/template/page/cmsLayout.phtml) so I heve added following code into the layout file:
<div class="col-main">
<?php
$urlPart=str_replace(Mage::getUrl(),'',Mage::getUrl('', array('_current' => true,'_use_rewrite' => true)));
$urlPart=explode('/',$urlPart);

-oops- this might be an enterprise feature only
There is a built-in CMS page hierarchy option in Magento.
To turn it on:
System > Configuration > General > Content Management > CMS Page Hierarchy - see here
To organise the hierarchy tree:
CMS > Pages > Manage Hierarchy
To manage the position of a page in the tree, after saving a page, go to its "hierarchy tab" - see the screenshot:
In the example the page "Our culture" is a child of "jobs" and not of the root directory
For Magento Enterprise, I have created an extension to solve this. It uses the built in CMS Hierarchy in the backend. The module is called Demac/BananaBread and shouldn't require any hacks or customization.

I built a custom block as to generate the crumbs (removing the built-in and replacing with the custom one below in the layout):
namespace Uprated\Theme\Block\Html;
class UpratedBreadcrumbs extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
/**
* Current template name
*
* #var string
*/
public $crumbs;
protected $_template = 'html/breadcrumbs.phtml';
protected $_urlInterface;
protected $_objectManager;
protected $_repo;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface,
\Magento\Framework\ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager,
array $data = [])
{
$this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
$this->_objectManager = $objectManager;
$this->_repo = $this->_objectManager->get('Magento\Cms\Model\PageRepository');
$this->getCrumbs();
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
public function getCrumbs() {
$baseUrl = $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl();
$fullUrl = $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();
$urlPart = explode('/', str_replace($baseUrl, '', trim($fullUrl, '/')));
//Add in the homepage
$this->crumbs = [
'home' => [
'link' => $baseUrl,
'title' => 'Go to Home Page',
'label' => 'Home',
'last' => ($baseUrl == $fullUrl)
]
];
$path = '';
$numParts = count($urlPart);
$partNum = 1;
foreach($urlPart as $value)
{
//Set the relative path
$path = ($path) ? $path . '/' . $value : $value;
//Get the page
$page = $this->getPageByIdentifier($path);
if($page) {
$this->crumbs[$value] = [
'link' => ($partNum == $numParts) ? false : $baseUrl . $path,
'title' => $page['title'],
'label' => $page['title'],
'last' => ($partNum == $numParts)
];
}
$partNum++;
}
}
protected function getPageByIdentifier($identifier) {
//create the filter
$filter = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\Filter');
$filter->setData('field','identifier');
$filter->setData('condition_type','eq');
$filter->setData('value',$identifier);
//add the filter(s) to a group
$filter_group = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\Search\FilterGroup');
$filter_group->setData('filters', [$filter]);
//add the group(s) to the search criteria object
$search_criteria = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaInterface');
$search_criteria->setFilterGroups([$filter_group]);
$pages = $this->_repo->getList($search_criteria);
$pages = ($pages) ? $pages->getItems() : false;
return ($pages && is_array($pages)) ? $pages[0] : [];
}
Then used a slightly modified .phtml template to display them:
<?php if ($block->crumbs && is_array($block->crumbs)) : ?>
<div class="breadcrumbs">
<ul class="items">
<?php foreach ($block->crumbs as $crumbName => $crumbInfo) : ?>
<li class="item <?php /* #escapeNotVerified */ echo $crumbName ?>">
<?php if ($crumbInfo['link']) : ?>
<a href="<?php /* #escapeNotVerified */ echo $crumbInfo['link'] ?>" title="<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['title']) ?>">
<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?>
</a>
<?php elseif ($crumbInfo['last']) : ?>
<strong><?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?></strong>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Working fine for me in 2.1
