bos_if_cat_parent
Version 0.2: A simple plugin offering now 5 conditional:
txp:bos_if_cat_parent is=“name”,
txp:bos_if_cat_parent_not is=“name”,
Added: txp:bos_if_p
Added: txp:bos_if_not_p
Now you can control the parsing of block of code if there is a $p set or not (useful in paging, i.e. paging articles or image galleries, generated by image_display or bos_image_display tags.
Bonus tag: I also added bos_if_not_category, just to not make another plugin… :)
Download: v.0.2
You can also define the type of category (article, image, link). I needed this for another plugin, I hope some one find it useful.
Please report any bug.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
Updated the plugin with 2 new conditionals:
bos_if_p and bos_if_not_p, for parsing or not parsing in case of paginated things (global $p), like in the image galleries or paginated articles.
See first post for download.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
Can he browse recursively to find a parent ?
As in :
- A
- B
- C
- B
A would be a recursive parent of C.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
Jeremie: no, at the moment it can’t.
It finds if the parent is (or is not) the one you specify.
Anyway in a site I use a 3 level nesting category, in a way that is difficult to explain. I’d like to improve that: if you have suggestions or use example, please tell here.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
You could add an attribute recurse that would accept an number or a text for all.
txp:bos_if_cat_parent is=”name” recurse="2" would check on the parent and the parent’s parent for example.
txp:bos_if_cat_parent is=”name” recurse="all" would go all the way up the the first level to check if name is somewhere here.
I don’t remember the TXP’s SQL structure on that however, I don’t know if that would be too heavy to do.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
I haven’t looked at this plugin, but it should be relatively easy to determine whether a category is a subcategory at any level:
Assuming the tag were <txp:bos_if_cat_parent is="name" recurse="all">, the current category is stored in $category, and the test category is in $name, you could do something like:
<code>
$out = false; //initialize $out
$child = safe_row(‘parent, lft, rgt’, ‘txp_category’, “name = ‘$category’”);
if ($child[‘parent’]==$name)
{
$out = true; //or whatever you want to return
} else {
$parents = safe_rows(‘name’, ‘txp_category’, “lft < {$child[‘lft’]} and rgt > {$child[‘rgt’]}”;
if (in_array($name, $parents[‘name’]))
{
$out = true;
}
}
return $out;
</code>
To handle the arbitrary depth, you could conceivably grab ‘parent’ in addition to ‘name’ in the parents array and iterate through n times. But I’ll leave that to you to sort out :)
And then my dog ate my badger, and the love was lost.

Re: bos_if_cat_parent
Jeremie and Igner, thank for the sugggestions and for the code example.
This week I’m working out of office, so I’ll give it a try in the next week.
Bye!
