Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
Steve,
I’ve tested your latest version and…
..it’s great! Works perfectly in firefox/opera/ie on windows (haven’t tested in kubuntu but I’m sure there it will work)
to all other testers
to see the new “static section” feature in effect remember you must login as a non-publisher…
at first I overlooked this and thought it wasn’t working.
Thanks again!
P.S. I’ve tested it with glz_custom below custom_field 20

One hiccup… a PHP error was thrown that “allow_call_time_pass_reference” needed to be switched on in the php.ini file and that the method had been depricated. Works finewhen I switch it on.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
steve > actually, I’m encountering some problems with 132.
- It will not toggle show/hide fields beyond the 20th custom field on the section page.
- It will not hide fields beyond the 20th custom field on the write pages.
or prhaps I have something misconfigured.

Thanks. Just to check you followed the instructions to upgrade your v2 to v3.
Will see if I can reproduce that 20 limit here. Everything else ok? … IE support? … Static sections?

shouldn’t need to. Pretty sure I’ve fixed it — just look at the post #151 for info.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
All
Just as a teaser for possible future inclusion in this plugin…
I’ve been working on some layout changes to the standard textpattern Presentation > Sections screen so I don’t have to deal with such a lengthy table. A little jQuery has got me to this stage…
Now I only have to deal with a section at a time and can locate my required section’s controls pretty speedily from the index on the left hand side. I’ll try moving the title row and “create” form over to the top of the left hand side too to free up a little more vertical space on the right.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
I.e. all minus 1 of the listed sections will be hidden? Awesome!!
For compatibility reasons with cnk_section_tree: will the links left hand be capable of displaying a nested list? cnk_st comes with its own linklist at the same place of the page (see screenshot No. 2 at cnk_st). Will both lists conflict?
May I propose one further improvement I’ve recently liked to have at hand? When you’re setting up some handful of sections with glz_cf installed and more than 10 fields used, clicking all the way down the page can become really painful. Is it much work to implement a “copy settings from section“menu? If you don’t like the idea, sed_section_fields is helpful enough without, no problem.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Hello! Thank you for posting.

Not awesome — but useful :)

I’ve not seen cnk_section_tree before and haven’t been testing for compatibility with it. It does look like an interesting plugin though. Once I know I can make the changes I want to the plain vanilla textpattern section tab, I’ll try playing with that plugin and see if there are issues. Don’t hold your breath though, I don’t think I’ll be aiming for that in the next release.

Another interesting idea, and I’m sure it’s possible — would anyone else find this useful? How often, on client sites, would a specific field setup (other than hide all/hide none) be used? If this turns out to be a frequently requested/useful feature I’ll think about it again.
