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

Can anyone confirm if rss_unlimited_categories_related is working with v0.7.4p4 ?

Or maybe I am just using it wrong. I get the titles of the related articles, but can’t get the category names themselves to show up.

Can anyone provide a sample form that should work for this? I can’t figure out which tag (if any) to represent the category name itself.

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

So, I’ve been poking around in the SQL to get articles with all of the specified categories instead of just one, but I can’t figure out how.

The query as it exists now is:

SELECT DISTINCT t.ID FROM textpattern as t
		LEFT JOIN textpattern_category as tc ON t.ID = tc.article_id
		LEFT JOIN txp_category as cat ON cat.id = tc.category_id
		WHERE  1=1 AND ( (section = 'sectioname') ) AND  Status=4  
		AND ( cat.name = 'artistname'  OR  cat.name = 'blog' )
		 and Posted <= now()

the most relevant part being:

AND ( cat.name = 'artistname'  OR  cat.name = 'blog' )

However, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to change that OR to function as an AND. Any suggestions / snippets would be very much appreciated.

In the plugin, this code is built on and around lines 396 and 430.

Matt, would grouping your categories and using everything with the same parent be any help?

Is it possible to use rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder in such a way that it doesn’t link the list entries? (plain text only?)

dl33, I don’t think so. but could be a relatively easy hack to change the code, somewhere around lines 190-199

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

floodfish: the problem is I need both: a linked version and a plain version. There would need to be a new attribute such as linked=“0”… Any ideas?

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

(I feel silly asking this, as I presume the answer is dead obvious to everyone but me, but …)

When using rss_unlimited_categories_article_list or rss_unlimited_categories_related how do I make the name of the category display? I can pull up articles, but they are not visibly sorted by category, which I’m pretty sure is the whole point.

I need the name of a category, followed by appropriate articles in that category, then the name of the next category, etc.

Should I be using if_different? should I be using txp:category ?

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

So, I am pretty sure that rss_unlimited_categories doesn’t allow use of, nor offers a replacement for, the txp:category tag, at least when used in the context of txp:if_different or txp:article_custom.

Would anyone else find it useful to have an tag (called, perhaps, rss_unlimited_category) that would invoke the category name/id for using with txp:if_different and txp:article_custom?

makss, hoho, and anyone else doing dev work on this—does adding this strike you as necessary and/or possible?

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

Probably related to my earlier gripes.

The following code would work with old non-unlimited categories:

<txp:article_custom section="my-section" status="sticky" limit="1" category="my-category" />

I’d think one ought to be able to reproduce this with rss_unlimited_categories_article_list. But that doesn’t seem to have a status attribute or otherwise be able to see sticky articles.

Any ideas/advice?

Hi makss,

Have you officially adopted this plugin? If you did, it would be cool if you open a new thread so as to have contol over the first post where the download link appears.
