One “problem” with this delete/hide could be… what to do with the permanent link? return a 404?

I think “410 Gone” would be a proper reply code for “existed then, but vanished now” resources. This adds the benefit that one could easily add a page template named “error_410” in order to provide the user with friendly instructions on how to handle this mischief. My articles having expiry dates patch works this way, too.

I’ve installed the plug-in but keep getting this Notice: Unable to save event in /httpdocs/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(512) : eval()'d code on line 1548& whenever I try to enter data on certain fields (eg Time, Contact Email), ay idea what’s going wrong?

I had that error and it means the JS is not getting loaded. Can’t remember offhand how I fixed it but try to make sure your JS is in the right place.

Thanks jstubbs,

The JS seems to be in the right place as most of the fields are working, it just when the I get to Time and Finish Time fields. Would it have anything to do with my database tables or does it expect a particular entry format?

Matthew: the complete relevant bit of code with my changes is this:

  # provide $m and $y
	$prev = str_replace('$y',$y,$prev);
	$prev = str_replace('$m',$m,$prev);
	$next = str_replace('$y',$y,$next);
	$next = str_replace('$m',$m,$next);

	# next and previous months
	$prev_m = strftime('%Y-%m', strtotime('-1 month', mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y)));
	$next_m = strftime('%Y-%m', strtotime('+1 month', mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y)));

	# prev link
	$out[] = '<a rel="prev" class="'.$prevclass.'" href="'.pagelinkurl(array(
		'date' => $prev_m,
		's'    =>@$pretext['s'],
		'c'    =>@$pretext['c'],
		'q'    =>@$pretext['q'],
	)).'">'.$prev.'</a>';

	# month name
	$out[] = doTag(strftime('%B', mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y)), $labeltag, $class);

	# next link
	$out[] = '<a rel="next" class="'.$nextclass.'" href="'.pagelinkurl(array(
		'date' => $next_m,
		's'    =>@$pretext['s'],
		'c'    =>@$pretext['c'],
		'q'    =>@$pretext['q'],
	)).'">'.$next.'</a>';

decoderltd,
What formats are you using for times, etc.
Can you describe the process of filling in the article or give us a screenshot of what you are filling in?

OpalCat,
Thanks, on both accounts. You can donate as little or as much as you like, its all needed, and if you give it with great heart that’s what counts :), well, okay, maybe that has more to do with charity giving, but hey, it sounded good. If you find the plugin helpful, consider paying for it, what you might benefit from it. ie: will you use it at a time where you might make money from it? Or will you always use it for personal uses? Based on those answers, you should probably come up with a good answer. ps. what are you studying?

rsilleti,
Your feature request sounds good. Do you think it would be possible to raise both awareness and funds for such a feature? If you were to manage that, I could interface with Zem, unless you prefer to. Not all features need to be public, though it seems to be the modus operandi of many here at the forum to make them so, and I tend to enjoy that myself :). Let me know how you’d like to proceed.

Wet,
Your addition would be smart too.

I’m going for my BFA with a concentration in graphic design.

Btw, my personal homepage uses Textpattern as well, and it’s getting close to being done…well ok maybe not “close” but it’s usable at this point. I have about 1/3 of my content transferred over. I only started messing with Textpattern about 3-4 weeks ago so I’m learning as I go along.

Matthew,

Getting a 404 error on the donation link.
Just a heads up.

Matthew, Any thoughts of coordinating community efforts around this? The plugin is GPL’ed so at the very least adding the toggle option or OpalCat’s additons don’t really require any of Zem’s time.

I mean releasing a version with the toggle code I provided above would only take the 2 seconds to do an export from plugin composer. And I’d be happy to add OpalCat’s changes too. However I think it wouldn’t be beneficial to have a bunch of branches floating around, so it would be nice to have an official place where the integrations could happen.

Anyway just thinking. I love the idea of plugins becoming more community owned then tied to a specific developer. Makes the likelyhood of development stopping less likely.

decoderltd · 2007-02-14 17:24:14

Hi Hak,

Thanks for creating the toggle code, certinally makes everything much tidier.

Like your idea regards a single branch for community development. Love to help if you’re happy for me to make suggestions, I’m afraid I have no php experience what-so-ever!

maniqui,

“ Delete” is intended to mean remove permanently from the database, display control is more easily done but has drawbacks with both external factors (rss and such) and some display options.
Most request this to automate the process of removing article content after its need has been served.

I’ve tried using three formats (eg 7.00, 7.30pm and 19.30), but neither work and return the error. This is a screenshot with the problem fields outlined in red:

decoderltd,
try 7:30

also, I’d actually like to get js time selectors implemented. I don’t think it would be too awful hard to do for someone who knew what they were doing. Maybe you could help round up someone to do that? We are using Jquery, and so you’d need to find jquery time selectors (currently that’s what we’re using for date selectors). We’d need to find someone who could make sure the PHP was correct :)

Matthew,

I think the donation URL above should read:

True?

hakjoon · 2007-02-14 20:38:00

Matthew what do you mean by Time selectors? I would think an input mask would be sufficient.

squaredeye · 2007-02-14 21:13:55

renobird,
Thanks. Let me go find my head. Its around here somewhere.

Hak,
input mask…. ohhhh, that’s fancy. I likey. Yeah, that’d be perfect. How would we implement that?

Also, I’ve talked to Zem about letting this plugin run as a community driven plugin and because its GPL, we just need to keep it community related and focused. So, if anybody is ready/willing to do the coding/schematic work to move it forward, I am all for that, and I believe Zem is not opposed. I just didn’t look into how to use the plugin composer. Perhaps I’ll do that unless your willing to roll out these changes Hak. If you were up to helping me with this, that’d be outstanding.

One thing with OpalCats changes, would be that it would be best if we could implement that and give the tag new attributes instead of the raw php going in the tag. How difficult would that be?

Matthew

I haven’t totally groked the input mask examples I’ve come across, but dang it I will.

I have to take a closer look at OpalCat’s changes to see how to make them attributes but it should be doable. Obviously I can roll out my own changes :) I’d love to help anyway I can with this, as I see it as a good step forward community wise. I’m away tomorrow (Friday), for a company ski trip (I love my new job) but I can look into putting stuff in place over the weekend.

BTW I am not opposed in any way to paying zem for his time. I think that it is only fair and I think if features come up and no one steps up to do it, it’s great to be able to go to him in a payed capacity. However if others are willing to do it maybe we can implement more features for less money/free.

After all I also don’t want to pay zem for my time :) I also think it might ease some of the resistance to plugins in the community if we can develop a sustainable method for keeping plugins alive without relying on a single developer. Since so much of the fear is that they will become unsupported.
