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

Rob (or anyone that knows how to add the functionality),
any chance of adding an author=”“ parameter? It would help me to show categories per author.

I have a problem on our site that appears to be linked to the use of rss_unlimited_categories, however, I am willing to accept that it may be a configuration error. I really like this plugin. It is one of a few that I include with every TxP installation and really depend on its great features. Either way, I need help resolving the problem.

I have recently found that nonexistent pages (pages showing up in Google search listings) are causing existing pages (as well as the nonexiting pages) to be listed in Google search results as supplemental. For those that don’t know, a supplemental listing is basically stating that you have duplicate content which is basically bad.

Since we have no duplicate content and the nonexistent pages listed at Google are actually linking to pages that would be the “parent” pages to the offending pages we are correctly listed as having duplicate content by Google. for example: mysite.com/directory/nonexistent links to mysite.com/directory/. Technically, this show throw a 404 error but it does not which causes Google to find any page it looks for and list it as a duplicate.

Through some testing, I discovered that if I disable rss_unlimited_categories, TxP will properly throw a 404 error if you type in any url that does not link to an article or page that does not exist. When I turn it back on, I can type any nonexistent url that could be a potential child of an existing section and get the parent directory instead of a 404 error.

I have tested this on mulitple sites using rss_unlimited_categories and get the same behavior.

Has anyone else experienced this? I really need to use this plugin. If anyone has a fix, please help.

Thanks,

cpk

Just for further clarification, I am using TxP 4.0.4 and rss_unlimited_categories v0.7.2

…and no, given the subject of my post, the irony of using TxP 4.0.4 and having mine as the 404th post in this thread was not lost on me – seems only fitting! :-)

I’m having a problem with rss_sct_permlink. I’m trying to use it in the article form just like in the example, <txp:rss_sct_permlink><txp:title/></txp:rss_sct_permlink> but it still acts just like a normal permlink going to section/title instead of section/category/title.

Also if I use the “name” attribute as shown in the plugin’s help I get an error saying it is an invalid attribute.

Any ideas?

Re disappearing category list… I’ve now resolved it. At least in my case, the culprit was a single quote in the category title – it doesn’t get escaped so upsets the JS variable assignment. Hopefully this helps other folk!

Ah-hah! That seems to have fixed things…

I’ll haveta test a bit to be sure.

Thanks!

mwhyte or Beertrigger, could you explain where you found that devious single quote? Am having the same disappearance issue here, too…Thanks!

Hi,

I have installed rss_category_cloud, rss_suparchive and rss_unlimited_categories. The first two are working fine see http://www.davidhughes.org/archive but I’m having trouble with rss_unlimited_categories.

The category list appears on my write screen and I have an extensions tab that lets me increases the size of that list.

So my questions…

How do I run the SQL statements? I assume this imports my existing categories into the tables for the new plugin?

If I use <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder> on my page teh whole page breaks and nothing displays.

I’m sorry there are so many questions… I’m new to Textpattern and a little lost…

Many thanks in advance!

I’ve fixed the category cloud – I realised that I needed rss_unlimited_categories_cloud – I didn’t have the unlimited in it. ALthough the links are in the format /article/18 so linking to articles rather than catergories – how do I change that?

I need it to link to /category/categoryname I can see a variable linktosection but using that with “category” that gives me category/18 for example.

Also I still need help to understand what I do with the SQL statements?

And why <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder> is breaking my pages.

Thanks again

Anybody tell me if this is incorrect syntax?
<txp:rss_uc_related limit="9" form="article_archive_title_list" section="!design,notebook" />
It is not effecting the output by limiting articles to only the notebook section. It continues to show articles posted to the design section.

Sorry, the docs are wrong. category is the right attribute to use.

I’ll have to look into that. Its certainly an unintended “feature” that is probably a byproduct of the custom URL support.

Ok, I have a new test version available that fixes a few issues. If anyone could try this out and confirm I will update the official download.

Download 0.7.3

Since this is just a test version, if you use it on a live site, be prepared to roll back to 0.7.2 if you see problems.
