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

jeremywood or Logoleptic:

I’m having the same problem as @jeremywood did with rss_unlimited_categories_article_list. I have an article that contains multiple rss_unlimited_categories_article_list tags. At the moment, if an item is in two categories, it will only display under ONE of the categories. Example:

1) Joe is a member of the man, employee, slacker categories

2) An article contains the tags (stripped down for simplicity):

<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list category=“man” form=“myform” section=“my section” />
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list category=“employee” form=“myform” section=“my section” />
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list category=“slacker” form=“myform” section=“my section” />

3) Only the first tag returns any results, when in fact Joe is also an employee and a slacker and should therefore be displayed as well.

This is a big problem for me that I need to get sorted out. Any suggestions?

@jeremywood

I believe I found a way to make rss_unlimited_categories_article_list do what you (and I) want it to do. Around line 497 of the plug-in you’ll find these two lines commented out:

//unset($GLOBALS[‘thisarticle’]);
//unset($GLOBALS[‘theseatts’]);//Required?

I changed the first line so it wasn’t commented out, like this:

unset($GLOBALS[‘thisarticle’]);
//unset($GLOBALS[‘theseatts’]);//Required?

and that SEEMS to have solved the problem. I’ll let you know if it causes other problems

You can find both pieces of information in your Txp diagnostics (Admin tab -> Diagnostics sub-tab).

Ok, I found the error-creating-plugin! It isn’t the category plugin, it’s asy_sitemap :)

uhh, can anyone help me? i use the filedunder tag in an article form and clicking on the category in a blog takes me to a blank page whereas there should be a page consisting of articles. i still do have the category 1 and category 2 dropdown lists displayed in write tab along with the new multiple select box. under categories tab, there are no articles assigned. i never use the dropdown lists. i use ctrl and click on categories in the new box. there is a textpattern_category table. i don’t know what went wrong?

@Ruhh: What are you using for the linktosection attribute of that tag? The somewhat odd default is “articles” — if you don’t have an articles section, it could cause the kind of behavior you describe.

Ruhh · 2008-04-07 20:41:39

I already have the linktosection=“category” but the problem is the empty result. in the categories tab, there are no articles assigned. therefore when clicking on the category link, there are no articles.

Do you have a “category” section defined under the Sections tab, with a page template assigned to it?

in the categories tab, there are no articles assigned. therefore when clicking on the category link, there are no articles.

That’s not quite correct. The reason that the category tree shows no articles assigned is because it gets its count form Textpattern’s built-in way of assigning categories. This plugin tracks category assignment in its own table, which the category tree in the admin interface doesn’t know anything about.

As long as you assign all of your categories using the unlimited categories list box, all of your categories will continue to appear “empty” under the Categories tab.

ok. i just recently created a section named and titled “category”. it uses the page “default” but i am assuming this section needs a new page template. all checkboxes are checked “no”. what would the tags be in the content of the new page template? a new form needs to created as well?

Welcome everyone! This seems to be a very popular thread and I thought I’d do my part in adding to it.

I’ve installed and activated the rss_unlimited_categories plug-in. I’ve adjusted all of my categories for my articles and when I can see a list of the categories with the number of articles tagged using this code:
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list break="li" />

Unfortunately, whenever I click one of those links, I’m brought to an empty page with the following error message:
Notice: http_auth_requires_mod_php in /var/www/html/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php on line 555

What can I do to get this to appear on one of my section/pages??? Please help!!!

Ruhh · 2008-04-10 03:31:11

you add an attribute: section=“desired section”

conspirator · 2008-04-12 12:53:39

That doesn’t work!
