Textpattern Support Forum

For some reason I can’t get this plugin to work for me.

I am trying to use the tags conditional in file form called from a file list tag to see if a tag has been applied to a certain file.

<txp:file_download_list form="files" category="mycat" />

The File Form

DESC:<txp:file_download_description />
Cat:<txp:file_download_category title="1"   />
FILE: <txp:site_url />files/<txp:file_download_name />
Downloadable:
    <txp:smd_if_tag type="file" name="download">
       1
    <txp:else/>
       0
    </txp:smd_if_tag>

I’ve looked at my debug console and its returning all my files that have the tag of “download” as false

<txp:smd_if_tag type="file" name="download">
 [SQL (0.00116991996765): show columns from smd_tags]
 [<txp:smd_if_tag type="file" name="download">: false]
</txp:smd_if_tag>

I’m kind of at a loss, anyone have a ideas? Thanks!

Just an update for those of you waiting on a less buggy version. As of today in my dev version:

• TXP 4.0.7+ database warnings: fixed
• non-messy URL rewriting: fixed
• smd_if_tag: now correctly works outside smd_tag_list context
• Textarea+ : allows new tags to be created on-the-fly from article/image/file/link tabs

Things on the roadmap, in no particular order:

• Multi-tag filtering and checking: work on OR logic has begun; AND logic is still at the thinking stage
• Global tags (across content types): mostly coded, but a few major problems left to iron out before it may hit the streets
• Per-section/category tag counts
• Tag cloud
• Tag list pagination
• Apply an active class to ‘current’ tag in list
• List tags by linked category
• Dumb down foreign characters in auto tag system
• Admin-side tag find (live search)

I might release the current dev version as-is for now just to get everyone to a more stable platform, then build from there. Watch this space.

Big ‘oh’ as in :-O. Sounds great.

this is the perfect plugin for helping sort the many images I will have on my site.

Except, sadly, it isn’t :-( You see, images are second-class citizens in Textpattern (at present). Whereas articles, files and links get their own _list tags, images don’t. Well, there’s image_index and image_display, but they’re a bit pants. So at the moment, image support in smd_tags is experimental and requires a hack to the core code in order for it to work. If you’re happy doing that, let me know via e-mail and I’ll see if I can find my patch and check it works for TXP 4.0.8, then talk you through the changes. If not then I’m afraid this plugin is not going to help much until images are treated a little better in TXP.

Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: section...

You see this message for two reasons:

1. version 0.12 of smd_tags is brain damaged. Although I haven’t tracked down every bug mentioned in this thread, I may actually release smd_tags 0.2 for now and patch the rest later
2. there’s no concept of a ‘section’ for images to reside in. The same way there’s no ‘section’ for links or files — they’re just files and links that can be displayed within an article flow, in any section

So the ‘section’ attribute is only of use for article tags. I should probably make that clearer in the documentation, sorry.

I upgraded to v0.2 of the admin and client side plugins, and I wanted to report my results:

Using this ‘Tags List’ code block in my tags section, I’m still observing the same behavior I described here: The tags section will output a list of tags, but clicking on a specific tag leads to 404— even though the URL is constructed correctly according to the scheme you described.

Still running TXP 4.0.8 stable.

Please don’t take this as a complaint, sir! Outputting a list of related articles by tag still works perfectly, as does showing a list of tags for a specific article (as long as I don’t use the link attribute). The only problem is with tag navigation, which I’m in no dire need of at this time.

Thanks!
