smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL

does smd_query cache results?

think i found what’s going on. from looking at mysql query log, i can see smd_query asking for the current score from my table when the page with html form is rendered. but for the (new, uncached) ‘thank you’ page, the query is not repeated.

so, the ‘thank you’ page gets the counter value somewhere else. could it be that they’re carried over from the html form?

if so, is there a way to clear smd_query values beforehand, to make the ‘thank you’ page query my table again?

I’m back in the land of Textpattern after a long break!

I have a page that returns results from the database – in this case, a list of incidents. I have a form that allows the user to filter the list according to the type of incident – a fire, a community event or a controlled burn. Or everything. The form posts the selection in a URL variable called ‘type’.

Here’s my code so far:

<txp:smd_query query="SELECT id, date_format (date_out,'%d/%m/%Y') as date, type, description, location FROM gck_incidents where type like '?type' order by date_out desc" limit="25" urlfilter="/(\ball\b)/" defaults="type:%" pageform="page_info">

This works perfectly for any selected value, but if the user leaves the value as the default of ‘all’ then nothing is returned. I’m still trying to figure out regular expressions so I know this needs more work to stop users adding anything else they want to the URL. But for testing purposes it would be good to at least get this working.

Just in case the world is not aware of it… I just found out that this beautiful peace of code will unfortunately not work anymore under textpattern 4.8. (beta) It will just output nothing.

I am sure Stef (bloke) will be able to make it work again, he’s that kind of guy.

The plugin tag just needs registering. I can do that and release an update as soon as I can, but if you want to do it yourself in the meantime, see the tag registering example.

Perfect. Will have a look at it. Thank you so much!

I would expect many front-side plugins to stop working in 4.8. But it’s the third txp version since introducing tags registry, the authors had almost four years to update their plugins.

Okay okay, guilty! I’ll get it fixed :)

Sorry to come up with this again, but I run into the same problem again and I did not really manage to solve it the last time. I took a look at the post tag registering but I have no clue where to register it or where to put what exactly in case of smd_query. Can you help please?

Bloke · 2020-05-16 10:20:25

Sorry for the huge delay. I’ve finally released smd_query v0.6.0 which brings with it tag registration as well as <txp:smd_query_info /> tag which you can use instead of the {replacement} syntax for added power and flexibility.
