Is there any possibility of getting it to read my mind, and tell me what to do?

Re: gbp_permanent_links
yipee!
I’m also in favor of documentation. It has taken lots of experimentation to find out what options do, and how I can get them to work :)

Re: gbp_permanent_links
Hi everybody. Sorry for my half bad english (i’m russian).
I am in some trouble working not as much with plug’in as with txp logic.
i guess satisfaction of my mission is defined here:
http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=161252#p258 (post 258)
Even when i did like it says there, i have a problem.
The thing is: i did a little nesting (if this is an apropriate word). when i create an article (i mean a new page) as you know it’s always attached to the section. BUT what i need, is this page to be opened ONLY from subsection Site.ru/article/category/ I mean that link should go here Site.ru/article/category/1/ , and he goes to, but it shouldn’t be dubbed (i mean written) on page Site.ru/section/ . there should be nesting (or how you say it, maybe “inlay”). elementary logic.
So it’s not a problem with plug’in. I guess it’s a problem with the abridgment of a whole txp. What should i do with it?
Thanks a lot for attention.

Yes this is more a limitation (or you could call it a feature) of Textpattern. I’ll have a think about how you might be able to overcome this.

Current no. I’m working on a new version where it will be possible for plugin authors to add new url segments

Re: gbp_permanent_links
I have set the txp permlink to messy and I set up a basic scheme of /section/title/ using the plugin. I now have the following problem:
- When somebody goes to /gibberish it will somehow display the main page, instead of giving the expected 404. This will cause major duplicate content issues, as every invalid URL will present with the main page!
- Also, somehow /title/ also seems to work. I have not set this up and I do not want this, as it causes confusion between article pages and section pages if an article has a title equal to a section name…
A workaround to the first problems, is to set txp’s permlink scheme to /section/id/title, although this is undesirable. I have not found a workaround for the second problem. Is there a fix to this? Am I forgetting something?

Re: gbp_permanent_links
This seems like such a powerful plugin, and it SEEMS to be exactly what I need, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make it work as I want. I feel like I’ve tried every combo…I want to output pages like siteurl/category that would display a list of articles from section “articles”; the permalinks for these articles would be like siteurl/category/title. It seems like a basic set-up, but I haven’t been able to do it. The key for me is that siteurl/category_x and siteurl/category_y would use the same page template, but output articles from the respective category.
One fundamental question – if I have my TXP clean url preferences set to /title – how does that affect things. I guess, what ‘precedence’ does that have?
Also, if one uses a url scheme that doesn’t have a section in it, then when outputing an article list, how does textpattern know what page to use?
Again, this is a fantastic plugin, and I can tell a LOT of hours have been spent on it. I’d happily donate if I could only figure out how to use it on my site!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I have my sites set up like how you want yours. I have /section/category/title/ urls but I can also display articles depending on the url. So /section/category and just /section/ work just fine. Here’s my set up:
- I set my link mode to ?messy.
Under the Permanent Links tab:
- /section/category/title/ Precedence: 3
- /section/title/ Precedence: 2
- /section/category/category/ Precedence: 1
- /section/ Precedence: 0
My page template looks like this:
<txp:if_category>
//-- Category Display
<txp:else />
<txp:if_article_list>
//-- Article List
<txp:else />
//-- Individual Article
</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_category>
Sites that use this scheme:
The downfall to this setup is that every article that has the possibility of being listed in a category view or through a search has to have at least 1 category set. If a category is not set you will start to get // in some url situations. Also, the plugin seems to force a url pattern depending on what view you are in. So, if you have a listing of articles that do not have a category set while in a section view, those permalinks will not obey the /section/category/title/ pattern.
Supposedly this plugin is in the middle a huge revamp but it’s been months since we’ve heard anything on its progress.

I’m still working on it when I get the chance. Been quite busy with real work for the past couple of months.

I totally understand. No disrespect at all, I love the existing plug-in and use it on every site I produce.

Re: gbp_permanent_links
Hello.
It seems gbp_permanent_links causes some issues in Txp 4.0.7. In my case it caused pagination (txp:older / txp:newer) to fail, as well as evoke some error messages in debug mode.
See the following two threads:
http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=29034
http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=29035
Any chance of an update soon? I’m having a hard time living without this excellent plugin.

Re: gbp_permanent_links
The PHP Notice messages when using this plugin in TXP 4.0.7 can probably be fixed by applying a small one line patch
I’m not sure what’s causing older/newer to fail.

I think the older/newer tags can be fixed with this patch (not tested):
