But surely there is a way to multiple select items from a list on a Mac?

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

wow, i didn’t know that at all. i may be an idiot, but just in case one of the other people using the backend is just as dumb, i’m gonna go with checkboxes. they’re a bit less compact, but a bit more obvious too: <a href=“http://www.mattgilbert.net/cat_chkbxs.tiff”>http://www.mattgilbert.net/cat_chkbxs.tiff</a> i don’t know if anyone else would be interested in this little change, but if so just let me know.

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

I would guess that would only be practical for quite short lists of categories.
I have around 20 on one site, and the current system works OK for that.

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

I may be misunderstanding the syntax, but I can’t seem to get rss_unlimited_categories_article_list to do anything. Have other people had better luck?

I’ve tried the following:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list /></code>
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section=“section1” /></code>
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section=“section1” category=“category1” /></code>
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list category=“category1” /></code>
and nothing is output at all. Any clues?

Matt,

This is straight from this page (what you see in the left column of the sidebar)
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list linktosection=“category” /></code>

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

thanks for the reply, but i was referring to rss_unlimited_categories_<b>article</b>_list , not rss_unlimited_categories_list. adding the linktosection attribute doesn’t seem to change anything.

Doh! My bad…

Just having a very quick play around, I can’t seem to get those tags to work either… Sorry Matt

NeilA – what markup do you have in your respective pages? I want to do exactly what you do, but I just cannot do it.

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

Ok… Here you go:

For the metadata under each except, I have in the appropriate form:
<code><p class=“meta”><txp:comments_invite /> | posted <txp:posted /> in <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder /></p>
</txp:if_excerpt></code>

In the sidebar, for the list of categories:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list linktosection=“category” /></code>

For the tagcloud:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_cloud linktosection=“category” /></code>

It was all remarkably easy to do… although I realise that’s not been the case for everyone… ;-)

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

Found a bug with RSS/Atom feeds.
If I disable this plugin, I get my feeds as expected with links like this:
http://aiz.miga.lv/2006/03/26/darbariks

If I enable it, I get a wrong url which gives 404 error:
http://aiz.miga.lv/raksti/darbariks
where “raksti” is site section name where thsi article is filed under.

Can anyone confirm it?

So with this markup do you have to put anything in the ‘category’ page template?

At the moment I am using the tag cloud tag as such:

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

Then in my ‘archive’ template, putting:

<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list /></code>

But I get the 404 error page. I have tried the archive page without the article list tag, and still get 404 error.

i’ve just realised there are two areas where I think the problem might lie – I am using the archive template for rss_suparchive, so it already has the neccessary tag in there for that. And then I am using sgb_url_handler so I think that might be contributing too.

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

I don’t have a ‘category’ page template, so there is nothing to put there… ;-)

Seriously, all the markup I have, I’ve put in my previous post.

I don’t use superarchive on this site, nor the url_handler plugin, so I can’t comment on any implications from using them.
