etc_url: rewrite some parts of url
When paginating all kinds of lists, one often needs to append (or modify) some parameters to an url, all by preserving the other parameters. I have found no lightweight plugin that does it, so here is etc_url.
This tiny plugin will take an url and append (or rewrite) some query string to it, like this:
<txp:etc_url url="http://my.web.site/section/tag/?q=etc&pg=2" query="pg=3" />
will produce http://my.web.site/tag/?q=etc&pg=3 in /section/title permalink mode. That’s all!
Currently, semantic txp parameters (like section or category) do receive no special treatment in clean mode, i.e. any only part of ?queryurl is parsed. Some future version could do it if needed.
Attributes
- url: url to rewrite, default is the current page url.
- query:
&-separated list of tokens to append/modify, like this:key1=val1&key2&key3=val3. Ifvalis not set, thekeywill be removed fromurl. - custom: whether
urlshould be parsed.
History
Version 0.1: initial release.
Version 0.2: respects all permalink modes. Added custom attribute.

Re: etc_url: rewrite some parts of url
Very good of you to release this, etc. I will look into the pagination method. I still need to understand xpath, but it is something I want to do sooner than later. :-)

Thank you for your welcome, and have fun with xpath! It is just another language for DOM traversing, with very similar to jQuery or CSS syntax, that is understood by php (and now by TXP:-) too.

Version 0.2: respects permalink modes.
Edit: it can also create links to articles filtered by multiple criteria that will fit any permalink mode:
<txp:etc_url url="" query="c=novels&author=Jack London&month=1903" />

Re: etc_url: rewrite some parts of url
Hi, can I use etc_url for constructing an url from the content of a custom field?
Example:
In the custom field: two words
The url I want: http://sitename.com/section/two-words The section is not the same as the article itself, no need to generate it dynamicly for this use.
The url rewriting should follow the same rules as textpattern uses to generate an url from an article title. This means: words need to be stripped from diacritics, capitals removed, connected by a dash.
Another more sophisticated approach might be:
1: read the contents of the custom field
2: look for an article with the same title
3: if it exists: output the url to use it as a link
But I probably need another plugin for that.

Re: etc_url: rewrite some parts of url
Hi,
I don’t think you need a plugin for this. If your custom field is called, say, link, try
<txp:variable name="link"><txp:php> global $thisarticle; echo stripSpace($thisarticle['link'], 1); </txp:php></txp:variable><a href='/section/<txp:variable name="link" />'><txp:custom_field name="link" /></a> <!-- will generate something like <a href='/section/two-words'>Two Words</a> -->
Use etc_url only if you need to respect the site url mode:
<txp:etc_url url="" query='s=<txp:variable name="link" />' />
<!-- will generate something like <a href='http://sitename.com/?s=two-words'>Two Words</a> in messy mode -->

Thanks! I allready thought this should be possible with txp:variable. I’ll give it a try.
