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

instantok · 2007-07-11 15:40:29

i have a url scheme question. would it be possible to implement /section/parent-category/child-category/title URLs? i use parent/child category relationships on my site and would like the urls to reflect that.

Hi Rob &c

What a great idea for a plugin – if only I could get rss_unlimited_categories_article_list to work.

I’ve triple-checked my syntax and use of forms, but the tag (tag/form combo, you know what I mean) displays nothing at all. As others have asked – is it compatible with v4.0.5?

Any advice gratefully received. The CMS is pretty useless to me without it.

It worked in 4.0.4 and none of the changes in 4.0.5 should affect this plugin as far as I can tell, so I expect it to work in 4.0.5 as well.

Thanks Ruud. Another day, another reinstall – and it’s all working fine now. Don’t ask me what I was doing wrong before – I dunno.

Am slightly in love with the CMS.

Hi all,

I’ve added the unlimited_categories, and on my “write” tab, the multi-choice categories panel is below my 2 textpattern category selectors.

When I posted an article with additional categories highlighted under the unlimited_categories plugin, I can’t see any post listed under the additional category.
(click on buttons, pincushions to have a look at what happens.)

Is there something wrong with my site or did I do the plugin wrong?

I’m running TXP 4.0.4.

My site is at www.remakeables.com.

Thanks,
Amy

The plugin adds additional tags for listing out categories. If you are using the standard textpattern category tags instead of the new rss_ tags to list your categories your posts won’t be listed. Also, if you look under the categories tab in the admin interface you will see your new categories listed but any categories that have only posts assigned through the unlimited_categories plugin will always show a zero article count next to them.

It seems that everything is working correctly you just need to use the rss_unlimited_categories listing tags and not use txp’s built in ones anymore.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the advice. I used <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list /> instead of <txp:category_list /> but the articles are still missing from the category that I placed into the additional categories. (and returning a “0” count as well in the category segment in admin, as you said)

For now, I reverted to the same old category_list tag as some of the category does not show up on rss_unlimited_categories_list.

This is perplexing!

Amy,
I don’t guess that you started with normal categories and then switched to using the rss_unlim.? If so, did you do the correct mysql work required to get your tables working?

Hi M,

I started to think so….. but (this may sound silly..) I don’t know how to correct the mySQL or run the statements.
Is this accessible through admin?

The spaces that show up in inline category lists are caused by Textpattern … In the textpattern directory, in the file taghandlers.php, find the function doWrap … If you haven’t set a wraptag, the newline goes before your separator, which results in the mysterious space. So, either set a wraptag, or delete the second newline (“n” plus the adjacent period). The newline is only there to format the HTML source, it isn’t needed otherwise … You’ll have to modify the code further down if you are using enclosing break-tags, like <li>. The same principle applies: delete the newline that is adding an unwanted space in your rendered HTML.

Ramen, you’re brilliant. Thank you.

amy,
the instructions for this are located in the plugin docs, the access to the mysql tables and such can be achieved through your hosts admin panel using phpMyAdmin, or getting Rob Sable’s rss_admin_database_manager (or some similar name) (check here). :)

For my own question,
Does any programmer out there (I’ve asked a busy Rob, but I’ll leave him to make money instead of support my needs),
know how one might strip or leave certain tags in the excerpt, rather than wholly strip all tags, or wholly leave all tags?

I imagine stripping is a php function?
Perhaps this page suggests that you can add an “allowable tags” parameter.

Any thoughts?
