4.6 : Textiled Body & Excerpt are now analyzed separately, I'm sad

sacripant · 2016-10-18 15:11:13

I’m sad.
Ok, it’s not a Troubleshooting because it was a non documented feature. But i liked it !

With Texpattern ≤ 4.5.7 it was possible to write some Textile text to body field and write Textile footnotes or links alias to excerpt field. I don’t now why by the 2 fields was analysed together by Textile parser.

I used this feature for move footnotes to a sidebar for example. You can see a exemple to my website (only for viewport > 10124px, in 2 cols layout) : Click on green number in body text, and after scroll page.

ok, I played with fire.
Now with 4.6, this feature stopped
I need to find a solution to patch my problem.

Someone has a sql code to move except content à the end of body content ?
And after that I need to find solution for wrap footnotes and move to sidebar…

Ay help or ideas welcome

Thanks

It might be a lot of work but did you think of using the images fields? You could for example upload some 1×1px images just to create entries in the database and use them for your own needs.

Something like <txp:images id="##"><txp:image_info type="caption" /><txp:images>

The image id could be fetched by a custom_field in the article, which you could call footnotes. In such case the code above could change to

<txp:if_custom_field name="footnotes">
<txp:else />
<txp:images id='<txp:custom_field name="footnotes" />'>
<txp:image_info type="caption" escape="" />
</txp:images>
</txp:if_custom_field>

That’s rather straightforward:

UPDATE `textpattern` SET `Body` = CONCAT(`Body`, '\n\n', `Excerpt`), `Body_html` = CONCAT(`Body_htm`, '\n', `Excerpt_html`) WHERE ...

And after that I need to find solution for wrap footnotes and move to sidebar…

You can wrap Excerpt_html in some markup when concatenating and use css/jquery/etc_query to display/move it where you want.

You can kind of restore the 4.5.7 behaviour with this plugin (to test):

Your Body and Excerpt must not contain ========== string :-)

@Colac, I’m not sure you understood my request

@etc. Excellent, my rescuer!

I moved Excerpt content to body content with sql “Update + Set” command when I see your plugin proposition.
Your small plugin work perfect.

Just some questions to better understand your code :

register_callback('abc_merge', 'article_saved');
register_callback('abc_merge', 'article_posted');

Why you need to launch abc_merge to article_saved AND article_posted callbacks ?

By default, a Textile parser is launched when you save article. A article_saved callback replace this default parsing or add a new function after (in this case, Parser is launched 2 times or not ?)

function abc_merge($event, $step, $rs) {
	if (!($row = safe_row('Body, Excerpt', 'textpattern', 'ID='.$rs['ID']))) return;
	extract($row);
	$textile = new \Textpattern\Textile\Parser();
	$merged = $textile->textileThis($Body.n.n.'notextile. =========='.n.n.$Excerpt);
	list($body_html, $excerpt_html) = doSlash(explode(n.'=========='.n, $merged, 2));
	safe_update('textpattern', "Body_html = '$body_html', Excerpt_html = '$excerpt_html'", 'ID = '.$rs['ID']);
}

If I understand your plugin,

you extract (only if exist) Body and Excerpt from BDD,
You merge the 2 fields and add between a specifique caracters list (.n.n.‘notextile. ======’.n.n)
You launch textile parser to the merged result
you split the result and save to *_html column in BDD

I find this very interesting because it’s possible to parse a specifique custom field and save/cache the result in another custom field.

Just for test: Textpattern offers a console.log function debuging for PHP ? Or what is the best way to test/display PHP vars values in browser ?

Glad it helps.

Because article_posted is fired only when you create a new article, and article_saved when you modify an existing article. In both cases we need to re-textile it.

By default, a Textile parser is launched when you save article. A article_saved callback replace this default parsing or add a new function after (in this case, Parser is launched 2 times or not ?)

Yes, twice, unfortunately, each time on the same texts (Body or Excerpt). In 4.6 you can(?) replace the default parsing of Body and Excerpt, but only separately.

You merge the 2 fields and add between a specifique caracters list (.n.n.‘notextile. ==’.n.n)

you split the result and save to *_html column in BDD

5 sur 5 :-) if we add that Excerpt_html contains now (in your case) the footnotes linked to Body_html.

Just for test: Textpattern offers a console.log function debuging for PHP ? Or what is the best way to test/display PHP vars values in browser ?

Not that I know. For debugging I merely include dmp($var) or var_dump($var) in the code. Sometimes forgetting to remove them afterwards… :-)

Do you mean this ? I think that’s a js console but I’ve never used it.

Like etc, I tend to stick to dmp () for outputting PHP.

sacripant · 2016-10-26 09:25:44

Do you mean this ? I think that’s a js console but I’ve never used it.

It look like a JS console.log with store logs in a history array and only if you are in ‘debug’ status.

I was thinking more of a function that makes a bridge between PHP and JS console like that.
For a beginner as me, it facilitates the understand of a plugin.
