upm_file_packets

maniqui · 2006-04-07 04:27:26

What a wonderful plug-in… thanks Mary for this one…

I have “combined” it with the bas_emff and I’m very happy (combined= they share the same custom field… aaaah… I love TXP so much).

Now, I have a question.
In the pop-up windows, there are two links to the file. The first, under the “File name” column. The second, under the “Attach” column.
I attach the files with that link (the one with the nice clip).

But does the other one have any functionality?
If I look at the source code of the link, it has some scripting: onclick="return warnEditFile(8);" but if I click in the link, nothing seems to happen.

And a second and more important question:

¿does this plug-in also allow me to link files in the body of the article? (similar to upm_img_popper, that let’s add images to the body of the article).

If not, I ask: which is the “best” way to link uploaded files in the body of an article? hard-coding the link?!
But we are in 21 century!!!

thanks in advance.

v.0.3

But does the other one have any functionality?

It should direct you to edit that file.

…does this plug-in also allow me to link files in the body of the article?

Yes and no. That is the purpose of the built-in file tags, which includes file_download_list. However, Alex and I recently discovered a problem with file_download_list. It will be fixed in an upcoming release, but, I would advise not using this particular built-in tag for large lists until it is, in fact, fixed. Therefore, in v.0.3, I’ve temporarily provided the tag upm_file_download_list, which is a fixed but otherwise identical version of file_download_list. As soon as the built-in tag is fixed, the plugin’s version will be disappearing.

Thanks for this plugin Mary.

This is very useful for me. Thank you very much!

Mary,

FYI I just found a bug with the upm_file_download_list function. I kept banging my head as to why when I used this tag as you recommended the filesize would fail to display. After looking around at a few other plugins I saw that you had a few things missing.
 *First Change* 
———————————————————————————
<code>
global $thisfile;
</code>
TO
<code>
global $txpcfg,$file_base_path,$thisfile;
</code>

*Next Change* 
———————————————————————————
<code>
if (file_exists($filepath)) {
</code>
TO
<code>
if (file_exists(build_file_path($file_base_path,$filename)) ) {
</code>
———————————————————————————
 
With those two minor changes the filesize and other information now display as they should. Just figured I would pass the information along.

Let me know if what I modified was incorrect.

Thanks,
Nate

Only $file_base_path is missing; $txpcfg is unneeded. Your second change is redundant; look at the line above it. Making $file_base_path global should resolve the problem. Thanks for letting me know.

v.0.3.1

semanio · 2006-06-06 21:31:37

Mary,

Cool. Thanks for letting me know I’m still learning what each TXP global var does and does not do. I’ll take out the redundany that you mentioned.

Lastly, is the TXP Wiki the best place to learn about these vars and what they do are is there a better site I can visit?

Thanks,
Nate

There’s info on some Txp variables here.

nardo · 2006-07-13 04:57:32

hi mary, please consider adding a class attribute to txp:upm_article_file_list … that is applied to the wraptag … cheers!

Mary · 2006-07-20 05:00:46

v.0.3.2

There ya go, nardo. :)

<txp:upm_file_packets_article /> works great with one associated file but with two or more files the articles are not sorted correctly (at least in my opinion). I want the plugin to sum up the downloads of all associated files and not to consider only the downloads of the first file for sorting. Would that be possible? :)

I’m sorry for the confusion, but I can no longer figure out how to use this plugin. I had an older version of this and the upm img plugin running on a TXP install. When I went to the write tab, two options were available to me:

Attach a File
Insert Image

From there I was able to put in an image or file with the article. I just did a fresh install of TXP (the latest RC) and installed the latest version of these plugins and made them active. I’m sure I’m missing something very elementary, but I can’t figure out how I use these now as nothing shows on the write tab. (I’m seeing File Downloads on the Pages and Forms page, but not sure how that applies.

Thanks for any direction!

Mary · 2006-10-11 13:43:17

My plugins work with the (recommended) latest stable version of Textpattern, with is currently v.4.0.3.

EddieG5 · 2006-10-11 13:48:14

ah, gotcha. thanks!

Logoleptic · 2006-10-23 05:37:39

Should I expect any trouble when upgrading to 4.0.4?
