Re: jnm_wrap

Thanks, Juanjo, for taking care of this matter and writing the appropriate plugin!
It gives authors a certain control over the behavior of a headline at a point of time when designers don’t have it anymore. It makes customization of wrapping possible without affecting the given headline for other uses. For a newspaper-like layout, for instance, it does an important job.
I’ve been waiting for such a function.

Ah forgotten: I’ve tested it in conjunction with nhn_typotuner, which I use for textiling headlines and changing “quotation marks” to &laquo;quotation marks&raquo;, and there seem to be no interferences between them, no matter which of the two container tags is applied closer to < txp:title>.

Re: jnm_wrap

juanjo, this is a great plug.
i have one suggestion: would you also implement a wrapfeature according to a certain number of characters (wrap after full words, of course)
i am already thinkign how to do that, but lack the php to recognize full words (probably counting blanks in the end??)

just an idea. otherwise: awesome!

Re: jnm_wrap

Do you want to insert a br after a certain number of characters? Something like an “afterchars” parameters?

Example:

Title: <code>This is the title of the article</code>

Tag: <code><txp:jnm_wrap afterchars=“9”><txp:title /></txp:jnm_wrap></code>

Result: <code>This is the<br/>title of the article</code>

Is this ok?

Re: jnm_wrap

juanjo, yes!
with respect to whitespaces would be perfect!
that way one can use sidebar entries for instance using the full width of it.

thanx mucho in advance!

Re: jnm_wrap

jayrope, can you test this version ?

I included an “afterpos” attribute.

Re: jnm_wrap

hi juanjo,
i found some time to test v.0.2, and it still seems to work as usual, but i had the impression that it overwrites the old version. could this have happened? I’m not quite sure as I didn’t control my plugins before installing jnm_wrap, but I use jnm_wrap commands in several of my forms and thus wouldn’t delete the plugin intentionally.

you made jnm_wrap break lines “afterpos”, i.e. you implemented something like a minlength value for a max linelength. IMO this seems to be not too self explaining. Maybe I didn’t understand jayrope’s wish above, but my consideration is, a “beforepos” or let’s call it “maxlength” might be the value that is easier to understand and to handle: treated this way a value of 65 would say “65 letters, not a single one more!”
nevertheless: good job.

Re: jnm_wrap

uli, when you install the new version of a plugin, it overwrites the old version, yes. If you want to reinstall the old version, you need to install it.

Do you think is better to have two attributes, “beforepos” and “afterpos”?

juanjonavarro:

i just remarked that a beforepos can be done by limiting the element’s width. so there should be no real need for it. (request to speak retired ;) but maybe jayrope has one.

in order to keep terminology user friendly, i’d suggest naming the attribute(s) like something that is already known from (x)html/css, which would be min-/maxlength. but this is just a proposal, it is your piece of work, which i only use gratefully.

Re: jnm_wrap

hey juanjo,

v.02 gives me the following error (in 4.0.4 beta/4.0-20060831 ):

<code>tag_error <txp:jnm_wrap afterchars=“15”> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: afterchars on line 582</code>

—-
afterchars or maxchars: i definately ment the amount of chars, not a length in pixels or pica or em. – that thing would be good for headlines, you know.

no hurry, though, i might look into this later myself.

Re: jnm_wrap

Use “afterpos” instead.
