[plugin] [ORPHAN] etz_pg for paginated articles

Ace of Dubs · 2006-08-05 03:30:51

Is it possible to assign titles to pages and have those show up as the prev/next links?

Also, a small request:

if_first and if_last conditionals would be a most welcome addition for more dynamic navigation.

Cheers

I just installed it and its pretty darn awesome. I just wish I could output page titles instead of numbers :(

THe cool part is I see you have added those conditionals .. nice!

The only thing keeping me from using this is the page title issue.. I just may take your plugin apart some and see if I can hack up a solution myself.

Having just re-read the 1st page of this thread I realize that some people wanted the page-specific text not just as a teaser to click to the next page but as an overall navigation option (a list of all page titles). The nav function can be easily modified to handle that by making use of the same code from etz_pg_body: preg_match_all($pageSep, $thisarticle[‘body’], $matches); $matches [ 1 ]⁰ would now have the 1st page title. $matches [ 1 ]¹ the second and so on… In this case you’d need to add another option to the tag etz_pg to control whether this type of page title navigation should be used

Been trying to hack this up for hours. If anyone can figure out how to do this, I’d be willing to contribute some funds for the cause

Titles instead of numbers would be great. If anyone comes up with a solution I am very interested in it.

I have made some progress on this.

Here is the relevant code the author uses to output his fancy title listing, which je calls “teaser”:

bc..
preg_match_all($pageSep, $thisarticle[‘body’], $matches);

$teaser = $matches¹[$pg-1];

This is what actually displays the title of the next page:

bc..
if (!empty($teaser)) return $pagecontent.’<p id=“teaserTxt”><a href=”’.$linkstub.($pg + 1).’”>’.$teaser.’</a></p>’; else return $pagecontent;

So I decided to define a new attribute with the others, and make it true instead of false, so that it is off by default and an entry of “1” will turn it on:

bc..
$titles = isset($titles) ? $titles : true;

Then I lift the code from the numerical list and call it titles as well

bc..
if (!($titles)) { for ($i = 1; $i <= $max; $i++) { $out[] = ‘<li class=“pgNum’;

if ($i $max) { $out[] = ' pgLast'; } if ($pg != $i) { if ($i 1) { $out[] = ‘”><a href=”’.$base_url.’”>’; } else {$out[] = ‘”><a href=”’.$linkstub.($i).’”>’; } } else { $out[] = ‘ pgCurrent”>’; }

$out[] = $i; if ($pg != $i) $out[] = ‘</a>’; $out[] = ‘ ‘; $out[] = ‘</li>’; }
}

I test it and see that its still outputting numbers, of course I haven’t set up my teaser yet.. so I track down the number output from above as follows:

bc..
$out[] = $i;

Awesome.. I have pinpointed my target, but I still have not figured out how to create the relationship between my attribute and the rest of the article titles.

I tried modding the above snippet:

bc..
$out[] = $teaser;

But that fails and I think my problem lies where I first started:

bc..
preg_match_all($pageSep, $thisarticle[‘body’], $matches);

$teaser = $matches¹[$pg-1];

I realize that I need to create a new variable instead of teaser. I just don’t understand how to link this properly to $matches in order to spit out the page titles instead of their numbers.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone. There’s version 0.8 of the plugin available offering at last the much requested feature: Subsection titles. In order to make use of this feature you have to:

Download the latest version of the plugin, install it via the admin interface, and enable it. This requires full admin privileges.
Name a custom field “etz_pg_subs”; case matters. You do this via the “Advanced preverences” in your admin interface.
Go to a paginated article that’s been split in numbered sections, and click on “Advanced options”.
In the “etz_pg_subs” custom field, for an article with, let’s say, 4 sections, write: “This is section one|This is section two|This is section tree|And last but not least, section four”. The names of the sections are separated with vertical bars. Note that the number of the vertical bars must be equal to the number of [page] separators in the body of the article.

A personal anouncement: I have a new job, and it’s very time-demanding. This will cause me to respond with some delay to bug reports and user requests. If you however appreciate what I’ve done so far, show it by buying me something from my Amazon wishlist.

Hooray for Etz! :D

BTW, the link to your wishlist is broken, dude

Etz Haim · 2006-08-07 18:43:46

Wishlist fixed, too.

jakob · 2006-08-07 20:25:32

way to go, etz. I guess you’ve been reading the other thread ;-)

Congrats on the new job too!

bq..
Fatal error: Call to undefined function assert_article() in /usr/home/housecaf/public_html/123txp/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(459) : eval()’d code on line 261

:(

Also I miss Arkham’s Teaser link for the next page. Would that be possible with your custom field solution?

Well, it seems my PHP skills are finally starting to take flight (they better after so many hours pulling my hair out!)

For those of you interested in having the titled menu along with the Teaser link for the next page, look no further:

Edit: Newer version with teaser and attributes

All you gotta do is edit your Etz Plugin, paste my hack in and you’re good to go.

Happy Paginating! :D

Hi everybody
I think I have found a little point_bug in etz_pg (version 0.8)
Look at this line and see the <code>.</code> before the <code>=</code>
<code>$etz_pg[‘linkstub’] .= (etz_pg_permlinkmode() == 1) ? ‘?pg=’ : ‘&pg=’;</code>

It breaks the url (at least in messy url, I don’t know with clean url).

This plugin is… very useful. Thanks

Etz Haim · 2006-08-09 16:07:31

OK everyone. There’s version 0.8.1 out, which fixes the bug Ace of Dubs reported. Upgrade recommended.

p_see, this point is meant to be there. I’d be interested however to know in which way you think that it “breaks the url”, so please return with more specific information.

As for the “teaser”, be patient! I am currently testing the 0.9 version, which includes a custom navigation control that can be manipulated to output a “teaser”. Most importantly, this is done with a use of a new tag, not a hack in the source.

Ace of Dubs · 2006-08-09 16:16:46

Hey Etz,

I went ahead and built a new teaser function already

Which accepts the following attribute

In the above example your teaser link will read “Next Chapter: Page Title”

Also, I polished my original hack with separate function for cleanliness and conditional code so that teaser does not show on the last page.

Tested, debugged and kicking ass on my vanilla install of TXP :)

Here is the Code

For the ehm, impatient, version 0.9 is out there for you to test. Read the revised documentation included in the plugin. To create a “teaser”, all you have to do is enter this:

<txp:etz_pg_custom page="1" mode="rel" link="1" />

in your article form.
