[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories

progre55 · 2006-10-31 14:03:55

soulship/leohart:

I am hoping one of you can asisst.

I have inserted <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list parent=“color” /> and I get the result I expect. A list of the color categories that have articles in them. The problem I am experiencing is that when I select the color, it shoots me to the default page and nothing appears.

I am assuming I need to use <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list />, but I have been unsuccesful in using this this tag either alone of in an if_article_list statement.

I get the other tags to display, but when I try to display an article I do not see any evidence of the tag even in the source code.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Also:

leohart:

I would definitely assist in your idea for taking this plug in to another level. Not sure how much help I could be on the code side, but definitely could assist with testing.

You are right. You need this in your page template. You will probably need some conditionals for each section, because I think you will need to use the “section” attribute and the “linktosection” attribute. I am not using parent categories personally as I didn’t see the point with this plugin as the relationship seems to be lost anyway with tags.

<txp:if_section name="projects">

<txp:if_individual_article>

<txp:article form="Article" />

</txp:if_individual_article>

<txp:if_article_list>

<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section="projects" form="Article_projects" limit="5" />

</txp:if_article_list>

</txp:if_section>

soulship:

Thanks for the direction. It now works like a charm.

My confusion (which there was many) is that I was using the parent identifier to create a specific category list (<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list parent=“color” />)

I am curious, have you very had the need to convert unlimited category lists into a drop down (pop up). I know there are some posts regarding this and I think I am going to attempt it, just curious what your experience may be with this.

Thanks, again.

Great, glad you have it working!

convert unlimited category lists into a drop down (pop up).

I think you could, but I don’t see how that would be very practical. How would you crtl+click to miluti-selct categories in a dropdown?

progre55 · 2006-10-31 19:33:08

soulship:

The dop down is not for the Admin area, but for the end user.

For example on the home page, you have a search area section. I want them to “search” for articles assigned to various categories. This would eliminate the need to reserve a lot of space.

I implemented the “suckerfish” method and it worked. So off to the next item on the check list.

Rob,

thanks for a great plugin.

Just wondering, would it be possible to add a subcategory/main category filter to rss_uc..._filedunder with a parent='ParentCategory' attribute which then would only show those categories that are subcategories of ParentCategoy? Working with sections is not possible, I am (mis)using rss_uc to add different kinds of metadata fields

In an article ‘the new Peugot somethingsomething’ in section ‘cars’, one might have main category ‘Country’, subcategory ‘France’, (selecting, i guess, only the subcategory, right?), or main category ‘Manufacturers’, subcategory ‘Peugot’, main cat ‘Cylinders’, subcat ‘4’ etc etc.

Or is making hierarchical categories not supported with this plugin?

Thanks,
Kai

Hello,
My question is short : can I use UNclean URL with this plug-in ? (my internet provider doesn’t allow clean URL)
Thank you for your answers.

Etienne (from France)

ruud · 2006-11-15 13:54:42

Etienne, short answer: yes.

Etienne · 2006-11-15 14:18:33

OK, how ?
I tried to play with “usemessy” but nothing good append… Should I go into the plugin code ? Where ?

kbernau · 2006-11-15 14:51:12

to restate my earlier question:

can I have the rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder command filter by a parent category?

example: an article is one item in a portfolio, will have the categories ‘Garamond’ and ‘Myriad’ applied. both these categories are subcategories of the parent category ‘TYPEFACES’. To output this additional metadata at the end of an article, i would like to be able to write

Typefaces: [txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder parent="TYPEFACES" (...) /], right?

Only, rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder does not seem to have a parent attribute.
Any workaround, anyone? Rob, don’t you think this is a totally awesome feature worthy of instant implementation? ;-)
I have spent hours in vain trying to hack this, mostly because I have no bloody clue what I am doing.

Thanks for your help,
Kai

Now I’ve read through the whole thread about three times and tried any solution, but I still see no articles listed, when a category is clicked on my root page.
I have the plugin installed, activated, .htaccess is fine.
In my default form I use:
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder linktosection=“category”/>

In my default page I use:
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list linktosection=“category” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” sortdir=“desc” />

An in my category page I use:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article />
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list />
</txp:if_article_list>

But the result is nada, nil nothing. If I use any other command instead the rss_uca_list, for example the cloud things work out just fine.
If anyone got the time to have a look at GeekyMall and check my coding, I would be really thankful.
TIA, Zep

edit: I forgot: And I have no prefix in my textpattern databases…

I come back with my unclean URL…
I’ve tried to go into the code. It’s not very easy…
I need something like that for my link : http://myblog/indexp.php?id=x
So I guess I got to create a place where I’ll find a list of all the articles which are using the selected category, and on this list, the link to the article should be like what I need.

Any help will be nice

(do you understand my bad english ?)

I have Textpatern 4.04 and I am using the latest rss_unlimited_categories plugin (which I love!) If I use a tag cloud, it doesn’t list alphabetically as Rob said it should in an earlier post – “… I updated the 0.5 download so that the cloud will be sorted by name unless a limit is specified.” Instead, it orders the tags in the cloud by when the tag was added. I made sure that I didn’t have a limit specified and I don’t have sortdir in my code either, although I have tried it like that too, just to see if it would work that way for some reason.

I also just discovered that someone else had this problem too…

Anyone using this plugin with the TextPattern 4.0.4 release? Any problems with it? I found that when using the tag cloud the cloud is not sorted according to category name (either ascending or descending). Anyone else have this problem in 4.0.4?

Hmm! On a different site of mine the plugin works fine. I’ll try to figure out what is going on and post back.

Meb, did you find out the answer?

This is how my code is now:

<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_cloud linktosection=“archive” break=”/” />

I want the list to stay weighted, but I also want the tags to be listed in alphabetical order so people can find specific tags easily. Is there something I can add to the code to do this (in the plugin or in the line above)?

Thank you!

Great plugin but I keep on getting strange extra HTML whatever I do. For example: I get a “return” in my code behind each category link when using (nothing in the “break” tag…:

<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder usemessy="1" linktosection="blog" break="/" />

I also tried to use the label attribute but I get an extra <br /> when I do…

Last but not least, usemessy="1" exists for txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder but not for rss_unlimited_categories_list – Am I missing something? It seems that if you need it for one, you’d need it for the other… I do…
