seperate tab for each section

cuda · 2008-07-03 16:13:00

Ok I have a client that would prefer to have write tab for each section….so for this case I need two write tabs one would be default to the NEWS section and the other to a SALES section. Is is possible to just clone the write tab and default it to a different section?

Thanks for any direction….

I think that this might be easier to do with two installs…

I think a little plugin (and couple lines of jQuery powered JS) is much more easier than two seperate installs. Installing two TXPs for one same site, just sounds cheap :P

i am using a combination of asy_dashboard

http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=84885#p84885

and this new top level tab code:

http://gerhardlazu.com/blog/49/addremove-admin-tabs-without-hacking-txplibheadphp

to create a dashboard with a tab so you can always get to it….then there are links to the specific actions that are desired….now I have gone and hacked the txp_article.php file to grab a variable from the url and default to that section….specifically the getDefaultSection() function, took one line of code.

However this would be much better if it was all in a plugin but how do I get the proper section selected when I go to the write tab using jquery? I am a jquery rookie/nob…..

thanks guys

$("#section option[value=MySectionFromURL]").attr("selected","selected");

For getting the GET variable from URL, you could use something like this

I’m a bit late, and it seems like a lot work is already done, but wouldn’t it be easier to hack sed_section_fields to react on a user name instead of a user privilege? Plus you can get rid of it by simply switching it off.

Just a thought.

Uli, offtopic? This is about seperate tabs for all sections, not about privs or usernames…

thanks gocom I am getting something up and running now with no core hacks…and learn some jquery on the fly too!!!

cuda, I’d love to see how this pans out and also how you achieved it. This – along with the ability to to show the article pane with only a subset of articles, e.g. a particular section – is something often desired.

cuda · 2008-07-06 12:29:04

jakob – I am doing exactly what you wanted with the article pane as well using the lam_browse_by plugin and just creating a link on the dash board for the specific search criteria…this could have been achieved with just the basic search function too. But I am kicking around the idea of making this into a plugin….

Here is what I have now:
1. Upon Login you get the dashboard
2. There is a top level “Dash Board” tab
3. You can create links on the dash board page that link to the article pane for a specific section
4. There are links on the dash board that go to the write tab with the desired section all ready picked and if you use sed_section_fields all the proper custom fields will show

This is all very messy and hacked up but if I find time I will try to release it

Hi cuda,

Can you give examples of your links?

I guess you mean something like /textpattern/index.php?search_method=section&crit=mysection&event=list&step=list&search=Go to obtain a pre-filtered article list. How do you make this appear in its own tab?

I’d be interested to know how you link directly to a write pane with the section pre-set? And again, how this could be made a tab of its own.

Jakob:

Sorry to jump onto an old thread — but I need the exact functionality decsribed in this thread for a project I am working on. I think creating the new tab has become extreemly easy now with the use of Stef’s http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=35882 But I am curious whether you ever found an answer to your question or got the above up and running in a project for you or a client —

Thanks.
