Textpattern Support Forum

Hi Yiannis.

First: Actually, pat_referrers is a single tag, not a container one. So you can’t. But that’s an idea ;)
Second: The plugin can’t distinguish sub-domains from domain names. I’d thinking on this new feature but it seems that the source code will be more complex. Do you think it’s very important to add that kind of feature?

Hi Patrick,

I slept over it and thought that your plugin could do the job if two enhancements were implemented

1. Subdomain sniffing
2. have a 0 value for redirect if not required

The code I was thinking of:

<txp:variable name="refpage" value='<txp:pat_referrers list="http://www.domain.tld/some_page, http://subdomain.domain.tld" redirect="0" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="refpage" value="http://subdomain.domain.tld/" />
<txp:some_tags />
</txp:if_variable>
<txp:if_variable name="refpage" value="http://www.domain.tld/some_page">
<txp:some_other_tags />
</txp:if_variable>

Edited to add a simpler code:

<txp:variable name="refpage" value='<txp:pat_referrers list="http://www.domain.tld/some_page, http://subdomain.domain.tld" redirect="0" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="refpage" value="" />
<txp:else />
<txp:some_tags />
</txp:if_variable>

v0.4 now available.

redirect attribute can be omitted (Thanks Colak).
external attribute added (v0.3): accepts external Url redirection (Thanks Ralitza).
status attribute added. If sets a “301 Moved Permanently” is send. Useful to tell search engine bots that the TXP section must never more to be indexed.
Help text updated.

Next (very difficult) challenge: subdomain sniffing.

Check, test, comment or hate :D

WP version available soon ;)

hey Patrick, You did it!

Unfortunately I get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ';' in /home/xxx/xxx/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(653) : eval()'d code on line 42
The above errors were caused by the plugin:pat_referrers 

The code I am using

<txp:variable name="refpage" value='<txp:pat_referrers list="http://sub.domain.com" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="refpage" value="" />
<txp:rvm_css format="link" />
<!--[if IE]>
<txp:rvm_css n="ie" format="link" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:rvm_css name="ie7"/>" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
<txp:else />
<txp:pro_mobile> 
<link rel="stylesheet" media="handheld, only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="/css/small_screen.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="handheld, only screen and (min-device-width: 768px)" href="/css/default.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2)" type="text/css" href="/css/small_screen.css" />
<txp:else />
<txp:rvm_css format="link" />
<!--[if IE]>
<txp:rvm_css n="ie" format="link" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:rvm_css name="ie7"/>" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
</txp:pro_mobile>
</txp:if_variable>

> Edited to add: The error above appears on all pages, regardless of the template on the front end of the site on ‘live’ mode.

… And finaly v0.6.alpha
A very experimental version where the plugin can be used as a single or a container tag.
