bot_hide_per_section - per section hide
[NOTE: This plugin is now incorporated in bot_write_tab_customize which has a graphical interface and a lot more features]
Until yesterday I feared I could never try txp 4.0.8 due to sed_section_field incompatibility. Luckily wet has now solved this problem.
Anyway, after Steve/net-carver farewell I redid the plugin from scratch for my private use.
Probably is now useless, so why I post it here?
It’s raw, lacks an interface and – though very easily – you must configure it directly in the plugin code, but unlike sed_section_fields:
- Allows to hide elements other than custom fields such as excerpt, body, keywords and so on. Virtually any html form with a name attribute located in the “write” tab.
- Works ok with rah_write_each_section.
- Features an optional jquery ‘slide’ effect for hiding and showing things on section change (disabled by default)
Elements that can be hidden on section change:
All custom fields (should work beyond 10), keywords, category1, category2, article image, body, excerpt, url title, override form, article markup, excerpt markup, status, category1, category2 plus others.
Like sed_section_fields can also hide some sections in the sections list.
To configure just press ‘edit’ in the “plugins” tab and modify the commented lines following the (very easy) instructions.
I don’t think I’ll ever make an interface for this plugin – sed_section_fields has already an axcellent one. Just thought maybe the extra hiding could be useful for someone.
If someone wants to try it remember to disable temporanely sed_section_fields.
This plugin can’t do any damage as it doesn’t even touch the db, is compatible with glz_custom_fields, ied_hide_in_admin and rah_write_each_section.

redbot,
Nice. I’ve been having some issues with ied_hide_in_admin in 4.0.8. (I know others say they have it working, but I can’t get it working properly).
THis might be just what I need. I’ll check it out and get back to you.

renobird,
consider this is more a sed_section_fields substitute than ied_hide_in_admin, though some functionalities are seemingly overlapping.
Keep in mind that sed_section_fields operates on a per section basis while ied_hide_in_admin in a per user level basis.
Just to repeat myself I found that to make ied_hide_in_admin work you have to proceed this way:
choose option > save > choose another option > save and so on.
Thank you anyway for testing this plugin, let me know if it works.

Found your plugin and think it is great. I found though, that if you have more than 10 custom fields and hide custom_1 from a section it hides all custom fields that start with “custom_1”, which covers custom_10-19.

Yes you are right and I’m aware of this oversight on my part.
You know, this plugin was just a rushed experiment to replace sed_section_fields and I never updated it (at least publicly).
Since you are not the first person asking for an update I think I’ll post here an updated version soon – just need some time to find the modified file I keep scattered in my filesystem(s).
If you can’t wait edit the plugin’s code by yourself. Around line 35 replace this line:
echo ' $("*[name*='.$value.']").parent().'.$effect.';'.n;with this:
echo ' $("*[name='.$value.']").parent().'.$effect.';'.n;(remove the asterisk before the equal sign)

Thank you smd_ksu,
FYI I have just finished incorporating this plugin within the bot_write_tab_customize interface.
If all goes well I’ll release it soon.

Re: bot_hide_per_section - per section hide
This plugin was finally incorporated in bot_write_tab_customize which as a graphical interface and a lot more features. I’ll leave here for special cases but it won’t be updated anymore.
