glz_custom_fields

gerhard · 2012-10-23 23:15:09

Everyone, can you try out the latest 1.4.0-beta1 please? I’ve tested it on TXP 4.5.1 and it works fine. Plugin preferences styling isn’t great and the datePicker doesn’t work, but everything else does. Will check on 4.5.2 shortly.

Regarding the datePicker, I was thinking about updating it to a more modern one. These are the 2 choices: jdpicker and zebra_datepicker (I am leaning towards the second one).

Thanks gerhard – I’ve been testing on 4.5.1 and not found any problems… I will be uploaded to a 4.5.2 today, so will let you know if I find anything

I’ve tested this a little bit on 4.5.2 installs and it seems to be fine. I have not tested in depth though.

gerhard · 2012-10-24 01:10:18

Most promising, thanks ; ).

Great news Gerhard, thanks for fixing up the plugin for 4.5.x.

FYI, the changes in 4.5.2 were relatively minor and none should affect this plugin, so I don’t see any reason it won’t continue to work on 4.5.2.

I just did a blitz-test on a fresh installed 4.5.2 admin-side, and:

Plugin preferences styling isn’t great

But it’s not that bad and preferences are perfectly usable.

and the datePicker doesn’t work

It does.
I only note funny things when changing the date format and editing an old article but I think it is not your responsibility.

Great work, well done!

aside from datepicker, glz_custom_fields now seems to work fine with bleeding edge builds 4.6 4457

Thanks mrLazu

~~hello,~~
~~for some reason after upgrading to 4.5.2 I can no longer find the custom fields tab under extensions~~
~~trying to access the url returns the ‘restricted area’ warning.~~
~~any ideas..?~~

reinstalling the last version of the plugin fixed the prroblem

thank you

I use the plugin’s custom script feature to display select box with list of articles

<?php
function list_articles($custom_field, $custom_id, $custom_value) {
    $articles = array();
    $query = safe_rows('ID, Title', 'textpattern','1=1');
    foreach ($query as $article)
        $articles[$article['ID']] = $article['Title'];
    return glz_selectInput($custom_field, $custom_id, $articles, $custom_value, "");
}
?>

So that lists all the articles, but my plan is to have it show only articles from section that is selected. I would use javascript to hide/show articles from the select list, triggered by the section select value.

Problem is I would need to pass each articles section as class for the wrapping <option> tag. So I think I would need to modify glz_selectInput function slightly to be able to pass the section as variable, and the set it as class for the option tag.

function glz_selectInput($name = '', $id = '', $arr_values = '', $custom_value = '', $default_value = '', $multi = '') {
  if ( is_array($arr_values) ) {
    global $prefs;
    $out = array();
    // if there is no custom_value coming from the article, let's use our default one
    if ( empty($custom_value) )
      $custom_value = $default_value;
    foreach ($arr_values as $key => $value) {
      $selected = glz_selected_checked('selected', $key, $custom_value, $default_value);
      $out[] = "<option value=\"$key\"{$selected}>$value</option>";
    }
    // we'll need the extra attributes as well as a name that will produce an array
    if ($multi) {
      $multi = ' multiple="multiple" size="'.$prefs['multiselect_size'].'"';
      $name .= "[]";
    }
    return "<select id=\"".glz_idify($id)."\" name=\"$name\" class=\"list\"$multi>".
      ($default_value ? '' : "<option value=\"\"$selected>&nbsp;</option>").
      ( $out ? join('', $out) : '').
      "</select>";
  }
  else
    return glz_custom_fields_gTxt('field_problems', array('{custom_set_name}' => $name));

I do not have chops to do it myself, so I was wondering if someone more skilled would be kind enough to teach how to pass the variable through the function or let me know if this would be more complicated than I thought.

I’m trying to install the 1.4.0-beta1 in a clean install of Textpattern 4.5.4 (r4919) and keep getting the following error

I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that. I think plugin plugin_install is no safe operation at this time.

—edit—
Rereading the posts here, is the plugin only compatible with Textpattern 4.6 builds?

I’ve just (yesterday) used the 1.4.0-beta1 with Textpattern 4.5.4 without problem, so no.

Besides, Textpattern 4.6 will have it’s own native custom fields built into the core – glz_custom_fields will not be needed in the future (it’s effectively unsupported and orphaned now anyway – Gerhard updated it to work with 4.5 as a stopgap measure).

Algaris · 2013-02-20 10:24:25

That means something else is going on here. I’m wondering if my installation didn’t go through correctly as I’m now getting errors for other plugins I’ve just installed:

Internal error “Data too long for column ‘version’ at row 1”.
Internal error “Table ‘txp_db.bot_wtc’ doesn’t exist”.

I’ve also started getting the following error when going to the Write page.

I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that. I think article create is no safe operation at this time.

I think it’s time to do a fresh install and try again. Thanks for your help and the information Phil.

I think I’ve heard that recently here: there’s an additional step in the bot_wtc installation, IIRC you’ve to visit the bot_wtc extension panel and install the lacking table from there.
