[plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs

<strike>This could be the $s clobbering bug that’s in 1rc1. Are you running that version? Can you update to svn-current?</strike>

On second thoughts, I don’t think that’s the case. If it were, article permalinks should still work.

All I can suggest right now is some good old-fashioned debugging. Place var_dump() calls at strategic points in the code, see if you can work out where things are going wrong. Start with var_dump($_GET) near the end of zem_handle_uri().

Actually, article permalinks DO still work.

Where do I get the current dev release?

Thanx Zem, that fixed one issue. Now I have a new one, and I am not quite sure why yet. It might be the whole “front page” issue, or it could be a TXP issue, and not your plugin…. but here goes.

If you visit the home page, the category links look like this:

http://s90447587.onlinehome.us/testbed/*default*/Misc/

Notice the word Default. That is the section. Misc is the category.

If I click on Misc, then the correct article(s) show up.

However, I do not have a section called default. Only article and about. about has no articles in it, article has three (one in each of three categories).

If I then click on the Articles section, and then click on a category, I still get the proper article(s) for that category, yet the category link now looks like:

http://s90447587.onlinehome.us/testbed/*article*/Misc/

My next step is to work on my .htaccess file. It has a few kluges to make things work, and I currently can’t fully customize the link formats.

Yep! Found the ticket here http://dev.textpattern.com/trac.cgi/ticket/61 , switched a couple of lines of code and it’s working much better. Still some voodoo with the clean URL stuff, but at least I’m getting my templates now.

zem, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

But as I’m sitting here looking at it on my test server, I notice one problem: how do I generate “next” and “previous” links using my preferred URL scheme? Does/can zem_nav integrate with this plugin for that?

Like I said, category links don’t work on the front page. If they did, ‘/foo/’ would be ambiguous – it could mean section foo, or category foo. ‘/foo/bar/’ is fine, since foo is obviously the section.

Good point. No, it doesn’t yet. I’m planning on updating some of my other plugins to better work with zem_rewrite when I get time. That would be a good addition.

This is probably a regular TXP question, but that means:

default is the default section

And then you can have whatever sections you want specified, yet default is always there, and only used on the homepage?

So I guess nobody has a clue then.

That’s correct; ‘default’ is hard-wired into Textpattern.

Hey!?

Do I need to modify the templates in order to use zem_rewrite?

I know that I need to change permalinks and stuff, but I thought I saw something somewhere about needing to add a line at the top of my templates. I can’t seem to find anything about that in the documentation though.

If so, what is the line I need to add?

uh.. yeah… do we need to add any tags other than the zem_link tags for this to work – to rewrite the addresses? I’m having a really stupid moment right now… I’m probably missing something. but my test page does not work with this right now…
