[plugin] [ORPHAN] akh_selrecent 0.2 - Dropdown list of recent articles
This plugin is a modified txp:recent_articles tag. It changes the output from a list to a dropdown list via a select tag. It supports all the parameters that txp:recent_articles supports, and also supports css styling via the class akhRecentArticles.
Download the plugin <a href=“http://www.ember.co.nz/resources/textpattern/” target=”_blank”>HERE</a>.

That looks awesome – I’ll give it a workout shortly.
Saaay, on that topic, anyone into making a popup menu that lists archives by month? I’d start a new topic, but I think I’m skewing “demanding” around here. ;)

The plugin has been updated to v0.3 to fix some errors in the output. It is now standards-compliant.

^^^ right click and “save as…” ^^^^^
Is there any way to control the length of the drop down box? It breaks my edge.

Theres a couple ways to control the list. It can be limited in contents via limit=”“. If no limit is specified it will default to limit=“10”.
Secondly, it looks for the style class akhRecentArticles in whichever stylesheet you happen to be using, so you can create that class in your preferred stylesheet and control its appearance from there.

I found another error in the output which affects standards compliance again.
There is a new version fixing this error available <a href=“http://www.ember.co.nz/resources/textpattern/” target=”_blank”>HERE</a>.

Hopeful request:
‘wondering if someone who knows how would be willing to add a feature to this plugin, enabling it to be section aware? That would be really, really awesome :)

Long time since the initial request, but maybe still handy so here you go!
function akh_selrecent($atts)
{
if (is_array($atts)) extract($atts);
global $pretext;
extract($pretext);
$label = (empty($label)) ? '' : $label;
$break = (empty($break)) ? '' : $break;
$wraptag = (empty($wraptag)) ? '' : $wraptag;
$limit = (empty($limit)) ? 10 : $limit;
$section = (empty($section)) ? '' : doSlash($section);
$category = (empty($category)) ? '' : doSlash($category);
$sortby = (empty($sortby)) ? '' : doSlash($sortby);
$sortdir = (empty($sortdir)) ? '' : doSlash($sortdir);
$secq = ($section) ? "and Section='$section'" : '';
$catq = ($category) ? "and (Category1='$category' or Category2='$category')" :'';
$sortq = ($sortby) ? "$sortby" : 'Posted';
$dirq = ($sortdir) ? "$sortdir" : 'desc';
$rs = safe_rows(
"*",
"textpattern",
"Status = 4 and Posted <= now() $catq $secq order by $sortq $dirq limit 0,$limit"
);
if ($rs) {
if ($label) $out[] = $label;
$out[] = '<select class="akhRecentArticles" size="1" onchange="window.location.replace(this.value);">'."\n";
$out[] = '<option value=""></option>'."\n";
foreach ($rs as $a) {
extract($a);
$conTitle = ($url_title) ? $url_title : stripSpace($Title);
$out[] = ($url_mode)
? '<option value="'.$pfr.$Section.'/'.$ID.'/'.$conTitle.'">'.$Title.'</option>'."\n"
: '<option value="'.$pfr.'index.php?id='.$ID.'">'.$Title.'</option>'."\n";
}
$out[] = '</select><br />';
if (is_array($out)) {
if($break == 'li') {
return ($wraptag)
? tag("<li>".join("</li>\n<li>",$out)."</li>",$wraptag)
: "<li>".join("</li>\n<li>",$out)."</li>";
}
return ($wraptag)
? tag(join($break.n,$out),$wraptag)
: join($break.n,$out);
}
}
return '';
