[Archived] stw_category_tree

vickilh · 2007-11-29 01:26:13

Hello!

My most simple question is: Is there some way to have the ‘Article Category Name’ be in the same format as the ‘Article Category Title’?

I recently upgraded from an earlier version of TXP, where the category name and title were formatted the same. All of my “old” migrated categories names are fine, they remained as they were. But with any newly created categories, the category names now get formatted like this (entered the same as ‘category title’):

article category name: 01-My-Category article
category title: 01. My Category

I.e., hyphens are substituted for spaces, etc..

I am using the stw_category_tree plugin, version 0.4. Everything is working fine with this old version plugin with my 4.0.5 TXP. I did try upgrading the plugin (just thought it might be a good idea), but everything went wild so I just quickly went back to the old version. Everything seemed to be working fine until I added new categories.

So, with using the plugin, I can’t use the “title=1” option.

I’ve tried modifying the plugin, but without success so far. Any help / ideas greatly appreciately!!

Hello!

I can’t remember what happened when I upgraded the plugin (just know it didn’t work), and now this machine is in Production. —What I’ve done is modify the plugin to do a replace on hyphens. Thanks! Vicki

Thanks! Vicki

vickilh-

I can’t really help you with the version 0.4 problem — I’m no longer providing support for anything before the current version.

However, I’d be interested to know what happens when you upgrade to the current version of the plug-in on TXP 4.0.5. What kind of errors, exactly, are you getting?

Thanks.

If there’s anyone else out there who wants to get this working with the clean “section/category” URLs produced by the rss_unlimited_categories plugin, here’s one way. Change the stw_cat_link function to this:

function stw_cat_link ($cat,$sec,$title) {
  global $sgb_url_handler_cfg;

  $cat_link = pagelinkurl(array('c'=>$cat, 's'=>$sec));
  if ( !empty($sec) && $sec!='default' && $permlink_mode!='messy' ) {
    if ($sgb_url_handler_cfg) {
      $cleanurl = sgb_url_handler_config();
      if ($cleanurl['schemes']['section_category'] == "%section%/%category%") {
        $cat_link = hu.urlencode($sec)."/".urlencode($cat);
      }
    } elseif ( function_exists('rss_uc_list') ) {
        $cat_link = hu.urlencode($sec)."/".urlencode(strtolower($cat));
    }
  }

  return tag(htmlspecialchars($title),'a',' href="'.$cat_link.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars($title).'"');
}

Changes begin on the 5th line.

I have a new problem: the plugin won’t recognize the currently-viewed category and apply a class accordingly. At first I thought the problem was the plugin’s assumption that an article will have a Category 1 (which isn’t the case with the unlimited categories plugin), so I made the following change (this is for Paul’s version):

// from this:
$thiscat = $thisarticle ? $thisarticle['category1'] : ($pretext['c'] ? $pretext['c'] : $start);

//to this:

$thiscat = $thisarticle ? $thisarticle['c'] : ($pretext['c'] ? $pretext['c'] : $start);

But that hasn’t done me any good. Does anyone have a suggestion for how I might fix this?

Hi all,
This plugin is perfect for me except for one thing: I’d like to show even empty categories (no problem) but only LINK the ones that aren’t empty. Anyone know if this is possible? Or how I could hack it?
Thanks.

Nora-

Good idea. I’ll put this on the feature list for the next version. (Though no promises about when that’ll be.)

Hi,

I’m trying to work out how to use stw_category_tree 1a.2.

Looking at my site:- webdevelopmentnotes.com I want to have control over the style of the child categories of the Textpattern parent category (Txp-Tags, TXP Resources).

So I suppose I am asking how I put a class style tag into the child categories so I can control text size and whatever else.

Looking at the HTML I see <li id=“cat-tags”><span><a href=“http://webdevelopmentnotes.com/articles/?c=tags” title=“Txp-Tags”>Txp-Tags</a></span></li>

and i add

.cat-tags { color: #34525A; font-size: 1.2em; } to the style sheet but it does nothing.

So really I’m asking a CSS question.

uli · 2008-01-16 12:47:10

you’re addressing an id (#) as a class (.) Try #cat-tags { color: #34525A; font-size: 1.2em; }

<ul><li> Thank you for pointing that out to me, that fixed the problem, and brought up more questions for me, so I’ll carefully read the plugin notes before I ask anymore.

Is there any way to use the tag as following?

<txp:stw_category_tree wraptag="p" break=", " count="[]" />

This is possible with the native category_list tag but stw_category_tree interprets break=", " as <,>.

Any ideas how to force it to use comma as a break parameter?

Not as such, although you can use the category “name” for ordering and the “title” for display. So you could do the following…

category title=“people” and name=“01-people”
category title=“animals” and name=“02-animals”

to list people before animals in a list.

That is bloody genius – just saved my butt big-time – thanks.
