Textpattern Support Forum

Well, it seems that I got it right with if(isset($s) && $root == "?") $root = $s; then. :-P

Actually, it should be more like:
<code>
if($root = ‘?’) {
$root = isset($s) ? $s : ‘Default’;
}
</code>

For the adventurous, this snippet is inserted right after extract($pretext); in the mtp_section_tree function. Setting the attribute, root, to ‘?’ will make the current section the root of the tree. It also gives the nice safeguard of only doing that when a current section is actually set. (Or is this even necessary? Is ‘Default’ the current section in TxP when no section is selected?)

Thanks for the great plugin!

redbot-
it is absolutely possible. I did that the “easy” way on my TXP by replacing the stock textpattern section_list function with the section list function that is already in the plugin. However, this is a hack, so I didn’t include it with the plugin. If you want to know more, I can tell you in a few days when i have better computer access.

Thank you for your answer plummerm. So I suppose this is not doable with the plugin, which is what I was hoping for. Anyway I’m still interested, even if I have to hack some txp code (I always try to avoid it) because i’m still convinced this would be a very useful feature.
When you have the possibility I’ll be happy to learn more, thanks again.

This is an awesome plugin with a lot of potential. Great job! It works just fine on my TXP install

+1 more request for clean URL scheme

(sorry had to slip that in there) :)

Hello Matt,
Just two questions:
1) will the plugin be compatible with txp 4.04?
2) Do you plan to release a new version?
I know I’m getting annoying but I’m already using this plugin on a site and I can’t wait to see a new version with new features (section/subsection url etc.). This plugin would definitively change the way I (and many others I think) build TxP sites.
Untill now I used to rely on a section/categoriy scheme for simulating subsections though I never liked it because – in my opinion – categories were not intended for this and furthermore they sometimes allow less experienced user to mess things up (i.e. assigning an article to a section and to a ‘wrong’ category).
…I hope not to be too much insistent with this request.

Regards and thanks again

Just wondering if development is still going on with this? Add me to the list of those who would love to see the subsections in the URL.
