It is still not working with all other plugins deactivated. There is nothing else in my page that would conflict – it’s just your basic HTML ‘hello world’ type page.

Possible it’s my bug :(

Please wait.

andcategory – temporary not work…

Small questions about logic category and andcategory, how make it? 1, 2 or 3 ?

1. attributes category="cat1,cat2,cat3" andcategory="cat4,cat5,cat6"…

return articles (cat1 OR cat2 OR cat3)AND(cat4 AND cat5 AND cat6)

2. attributes category="cat1,cat2,cat3" andcategory="cat4,cat5,cat6"…

return articles (cat1 OR cat2 OR cat3 OR (cat4 AND cat5 AND cat6))

3.
3.1 attributes category="cat1,cat2,cat3"…

return articles (cat1 OR cat2 OR cat3)

3.2 attributes category="cat1,cat2,cat3" andcategory="1"… (here andcategory – logical type or possible rename to new logical attribyte AND )

return articles (cat1 AND cat2 AND cat3)

I am not thinking of actual uses for this on any of my sites (not yet, anyway), but I think solution 1 is the best. (Wouldn’t solution 2 be doable anyway using that?)

Either way, I would like to see this work with parents as well as individual category names.

Solution 3 seems like a totally different thing, and maybe should exist also.

whaleen · 2009-10-06 19:03:59

There must be at least one category present in category so that andcategory can be included (work)?
If nothing is present in category, andcategory will still be shown and visa versa?
Seems like it lessens the possibilities you have with 1 and 2 unless you were to add a type modifier for each attribute (category, and andcategory)

The following might be overkill and might confuse things in an IF sense.

andcategory type
andcategory-type="1" Must be paired with category in an AND sense.
andcategory-type="0" Pairs with category in an OR sense (Default).

category type
category-type="1" Must have at least one category in order to be paired with andcategory.
category-type="0" Pairs with andcategory in an OR sense.

I don’t even know if my what I wrote in my last post even works. :) Hope I didn’t confuse things. Having andcategory will be a good start.

I was looking at chh_article_custom which has category="Dog,Chicken&Egg,Cat".

That would give you no items with Chicken if Egg was not also present.

Can’t get that plugin to work in 4.2 and It seems that it wouldn’t be compatible with rss_unlimited_categories.

Q: Does the rss_unlimited_categories plugin have the kind of support to become a part of the core similar to how glz_custom_fields has?

If it could use the default category table(s) then a lot of the other category plugins could be used in tandem. Not sure if this is possible but wondering if others value rss_unlimited_categories enough to merge it with TXP more completely. I amy be way off base because of my limited knowledge of how categories are stored in either fashion and chiefly what logical differences there are.

floodfish · 2009-10-08 19:41:55

I would love to see rss_unlimited_categories get integrated into the core like glz_custom_fields has. The limited categories (and the stresses of working around it) is the biggest problem I have with Textpattern.

Myself included.

I’m wondering if there is some way to to get an andcategory like function working with some combination of other non-category related plugins. Like maybe smd_query for starters… but if I knew how to make the appropriate request to the DB I probably would have a patch of sorts whipped up for rss_unlimited_categories anyway…

I would love to see rss_unlimited_categories get integrated into the core like glz_custom_fields has.

Does anyone else feel this way?
Is there a negative aspect to doing this?

Is there a big difference between Unlimited Categories and Tags? Couldn’t smd_tags or tru_tags be the solution?

Maybe not for my purposes. I’ll give smd_tags a try.

Edit: I can’t seem to wrap my head around this one. I’m still not able to pull articles that share categories but don’t pull if the other is not shared. Again it’s the andcategory concept from rss_unlimited_articles that I’m trying to emulate. tru_tags doesn’t appear capable of this either.
