Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Steve, you did a great job!

The only thing, which might be a bit confusing is the case-sensitive live filter…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

I go along with chriloi in complimenting you on that piece, Steve!
Just one micrological wish: “cursor: default” for the Show all / Hide all switches on FF2 Mac and SAF2, both display the insertion tool.

Edit: I changed
'0' => gTxt('Show'),
to
'0' => $mlp->gTxt('show'),
in order to create a user definable text in the “Strings for internationalisation…” via 'show' => 'user_value',

Hello — and thank you!

I’m using a simple jQuery selector with an attribute filter for that and I don’t know how to force it to be case insensitive at the moment. As I get time, I’ll look into it.

Ah! I see it now. Will be changed in the final release.

Regarding your change to the strings. Yes, I could do that but then folks would have two identical strings to change — the textpattern one and the plugin one. If I do it like this, the string is already automatically localized by Textpattern.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Sorry that I made myself not clear enough, Steve, the edit wasn’t meant as criticism. The German translation uses the imperative form, which in this case looks like an ugly typo.

no problem, didn’t take it as criticism :)

Hey, how do you handle the imperative if you use the German translation? Do you just edit it in the txp_lang table — or is it ok to use the imperative in its normal context?

I guess I’m asking if your reason is a good enough one for me to adopt that change into the plugin itself in order to give the installer the option of translating the two strings differently based on context.

Thank you in advance!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Hm, feel like not fully comprehending what you’re asking me. I try, anyway.
There are no distinctions between both verb forms in the German translation file, nor for “show” neither for any other verb. But as the imperative sounded odd I changed the plugin code.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Following up on my other post, would it be possible to add “disable comments after” and allow/disallow comments on a “per section” basis on the Sections tab with this plug-in?

Added to my to-do list for this plugin. I don’t expect it will be a problem but there might be something I’ve overlooked on the moderation mechanism as I’ve not looked at it in a long time.

FWIW, I’ve another potential comments based plugin coming up so that’ll give me a refresher course!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Stuart

As your request involves mainly public side code — and sed_section_fields is exclusively admin-only — I’ve decided to give this a shot using my comment pack as the wrapper.

Anyway to cut a long story short…

  • the good news: I have a working demonstrator of this.
  • the bad news: I either have to duplicate tons of code from the pretext() routine or make a 1 line hack to a Textpattern file to do it.

Would you like to try it out?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

I’ll try anything once Steve but you’ve confused me with “involves mainly public side code”. How did that happen when what I want would be in the “Sections” tab in admin?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Stuart

That’s just because I haven’t tacked on an admin interface yet. I wanted to do a proof-of-concept for you. However, I guess my main point is that I don’t want (at present) to put the public code that implements your feature into an admin-only plugin. It just seems a better fit to me put the feature in the comment pack as it already implements per-article comment moderation.

Will email you the plugin soon.
