[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories

DaveR · 2006-09-20 03:42:21

Hi,

I’m using rss_unlimited_categories_list quite successfully, but I’d like to know if there is a way to alter the fuctionality to list categories that have no linked articles. That is, I’m using the showcount attribute to display the number of articles tagged with each category, but categories with no articles don’t appear in the list. I would like them to appear as:

myCategory (0)

I have played with the php code but haven’t yet found an easy way to this. Is it possible?

And as an aside, what does the countlinked attribute do?

Thanks
Dave

am i overlooking something obvious or how are you guys dealing with previous/next-article navigation? normally <code><txp:link_to_next></code> is context sensitive, so that it stays inside the current category, but as rss_unlimited_categories uses a different table for the categories this seems not to do the job. so again, i would like to click on a category /section/foobar, see an overview of articles in foobar, then select one and being able to browse automatically to the next/previous article that is in the category foobar. any ideas?

I can’t get /section/categories URL to work. My textpattern installation is in sub-folder -> /~myname/cms

Other functionalities seem to work: I can output categories that each article belongs to, permlink to those, but no go with clean URL.

Help please anyone?

Nevermind my previous post. After some debugging on a clean installation, it is now clear to me that I need to use txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list instead of txp:article_custom.

I wish that tags can somehow be shorted _.

I have also found another issue. rss_sct_permlink doesn’t seem to output the link correctly since I 404 on all those links.

Link is of format: /section/categories/url_title

Could this be an issue with .htaccess?

Also, when listing all article in a section (without specifying a category), I get the permlink (from rss_sct_permlink) as /section//url_title

Is this a bug in the plugin or am I missing something?

Here is my .htaccess file
<code>
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /textpattern/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

</code>

a small part of “news” page
<code>
<div id=“navigation”>
<h2>Categories (available)</h2>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list section=“news” linktosection=“news” />
</div>
<div id=“content”>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section=“news” limit=“100” form=“news_listing” />
</div>
</code>

Form “news_listing”

<code>
<h1><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
<p>Categories: <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder linktosection=“news” /></p>
<p><txp:rss_sct_permlink>Link to this article</txp:rss_sct_permlink></p>
</code>

I am having problems linking to category pages, When I click on the category link I simply get a blank template whereas I would expect all articles filed under that category to be listed where my <txp:article> tag is

Have a look at my archives page and try clicking on any of the categories. Has anybody got any ideas as to what may be wrong?

leohart · 2006-10-01 14:17:58

Hi davej,

Have you tried using txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list instead of normal txp:article_custom / txp:article.

davej · 2006-10-01 14:24:48

Yeah, I’ve tried that but it outputs all of my journal entries and not just the ones filed under the specific category.

rossharvey · 2006-10-01 19:26:02

I’m having an extremely odd problem with this plugin – when I click on an article (which just happens to be a journal entry), it lists all articles (in single article form, one after another) except the one I click.

For example, if there are three articles named AAA, BBB and CCC, if I click BBB I get articles AAA and CCC displayed on the same page.

Journal ‘page’ code, to replace normal article tag – uses ‘article-journal’ form.
<code>
<div id=“sidebar”>
<h2>Journal Categories</h2>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list section=“journal” linktosection=“journal” showcount=“0” />
</div>
<div id=“content”>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list form=“article-journal” />
</div>
</code>

And the ‘article-journal’ form:
<code>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<h2><txp:title /></h2>
<p>Tags: <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder linktosection=“journal” /></p>
<txp:body />
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
</txp:if_article_list>
</code>

The listings for each category work fine, it’s just when I click on an article that things start to get weird.

I use the latest pre 4.0.4 release (r1788), and plugin version 0.5. Help would be very much appreciated!

EDIT: Fixed

I changed the above page code (inside the content div) to this:

I may have just missed this while skimming through this thread, but I don’t understand how to get the article’s body to actually show up. For instance, one of my categories is “frontpage”. If I give that category to an article, I want that article’s body to show up on the frontpage. All the tags I have seen are for lists, not for actual body content.

I’m sure this is quite simple, I just can’t find it…

leohart · 2006-10-05 04:17:31

Hi Brian,

You would use txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list to list all article that belongs to your specified category (‘frontpage’ in your case)

Usage is similar to this: (please see rss_unlimited_categories plugin documentation for syntax)
<code>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list category=“frontpage” form=“your_form_name” />
</code>

Then in ‘your_form_name’ form, you would use
<code>
<txp:body />
</code>

to list the article body each time the top article list code iterate through the list. Does this answer your question?

brian.zollinhofer · 2006-10-05 04:34:42

yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.
