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

mrtunes · 2008-12-07 22:52:41

do you think it’s safe to say that this plugin deserves its own forum? i’ve never been able to get this working and i find sorting through 60 pages of forum chat is really daunting. also why isn’t this integrated into the textpattern core?

My understanding is that integrating something like this into core would break backward compatibility too much. The general rule for the Txp devs is that breaking changes only go into Crockery, the 4.1 development branch.

ok. well i did end up getting it working finally. i think the hard part about this plugin is you keep thinking it’s supposed to work out of the box but you have to put that <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list tag in there, as well make sure to list the section=”“, or at least in my case that was necessary

Is there any way with the rss_uc_list to add a class to the <li> or <a> element when you are viewing the active category page? For example, to add a class of “current” so that you can style that <li> element as active when the user is viewing that category…

<h3>Categories:</h3>
	<ul class="subNav">
	<li class="current"><a href="http://siteURL.com/blog/commentary" title="Commentary">Commentary</a> (1) </li>
	<li><a href="http://siteURL.com/blog/loan-advice" title="Loan Advice">Loan Advice</a> (2) </li>
	<li><a href="http://siteURL.com/blog/mortgages" title="Mortgages">Mortgages</a> (1) </li>
	</ul>

This would be really helpful from a design/usability standpoint… the <txp:category_list /> tag comes with the attribute of active_class=”“ – this is strangely missing from this plugin, as it is a very handy attribute.

Please let me know how to do this! :)

Thank you,
Michael

In txp4.0.7. i have problems with comments with this plugin enabled:

I post a comment in an article “A” but in textpattern admin page it appears on another different article “B”.
The second is the worst. I write my comment, click preview and then when i click on send, textpattern doesn’t write the comment. It makes another preview, and never writes the comment.

I don’t have this problems with rss_unlimited_categories disabled.

Help me please.

EDIT: i think the problem is with rss_uc_related tag, because if i remove it from my article form, comments work perfectly

hi all,
i would like to use this plugin to output various lists in general but only one at once, which one is displayed should be depending on which article is selected.
apparently the code below doesnt work, if i remove the “if article” part it does the job.
but i need the conditional.

<txp:if_article_category name="artist1">
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section="catalogue" category="recordsfromartist1" form="releaselist" limit="10" />
<txp:else />nothing to see</txp:if_article_category>

<txp:if_article_category name="artist2">
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section="catalogue" category="recordsfromartist2" form="releaselist" limit="10" />
<txp:else />nothing to see</txp:if_article_category>

Any hints on how i could solve this?
Thanks in advance!

I’d really like to know how to do that too…tried every possible category related conditional but it is not working.
Can someone help please?

Ok, I solved this it was matter of messy links.
Is it possible with this plugin to also list children categories like this ( with rss_unlimited_categories_list) :

Category (parent)

Subcategory (child)

Thanks for helping me out!

Does anyone know how to allow using list part of a form when listing category. I have if indivdual article in my article form but this plugin always use the part before else.

Article form:
<txp:if_individual_article>
this is used by plugin
<txp:else />
i need to output this part
</txp:if_individual_article>

I want this to work with form override, i found solution for the override in this thread here http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=14168&p=20. But i can’t figure out how to edit the plugin to use list part of the form.

Thanks

I solved it! There is $article = fetch_form($form); on line 456 and 491. It works only if both changed to $article = ($prefs[‘allow_form_override’] && $a[‘override_form’]) ? fetch_form($a[‘override_form’])

fetch_form($form);

as Bit wrote in post #197. You don’t need to add $prefs it’s already there. Line numbers are for version 0.7.4.

Can’t get the plugin to work. I am using TXP 4.0.8

I installed the plugin and copied the article/category assignments to the new category table structure with the SQL statements provided in plugin instructions. Article categories (assigned prior to plugin installation) are still selected in the standard category pull-down menus AND they are also highlighted/selected in the rss_unlimited multiple-select list (so I know the sql copy worked).

Visually, the plugin’s Categorize multiple-select list shows up below the Section selection pull-down menu on the Write page. The standard Textpattern category selection pull-down menus are still visible at the top of the Sort and Display box on the write page.

If I de-select the categories in the standard category pull-down menus and select categories in the Categorize multi-select menu, the articles behave as if they do not have any categories assigned to them. I also tested by assigning a category 1 and category 2 in the standard category pull-down menus and then selected a third category in the Categorize multi-select list. The articles then behave according to the standard category assignments — but the 3rd category is ignored.

I’m not sure what I might have done wrong. Tried to search the posts in this Topic… sorry if I missed something, but hard to find solutions with 60 pages.

UPDATE: ok, I figured out that I don’t have an rss_unlimited_admin_tab — now have to figure out why

I don’t have the admin tab for rss_uc too, missing only in TXP 4.0.8 in older versions it’s OK.
You can fully use the plugin without the admin tab ;)

photonomad · 2009-02-20 23:11:27

thanks for responding zattrix! — only problem is, the plugin isn’t working for me…

zattrix · 2009-02-21 06:57:16

Do you have <txp:rss_uc_article_list /> in you template? Is there any errors in debug mode?
Do you have assigned categories in the new table in database, when you select it in the multiselect menu on write tab?

I’m using this two rss_uc tags in my template on 4.0.8 and it works well.
<txp:rss_uc_article_list />
<txp:rss_uc_list linktosection=“some-section” />

Do you have any other plugins in your txp? Tried deactivate them?
