[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories

jshan · 2009-03-03 00:01:37

Hi,

I just got this plugin installed. According to the author’s plugin resource, TXP will create a new table of category. For my existing site, according to the instruction, the current article/category assignments should be copied to the new table structure. Using the two SQL, I had no problem with category1, but with category2, I ran into the following error:

ERROR 1062 <23000>: Duplicate entry ’8-18’ for key 1

The SQL was:

INSERT INTO textpattern_category (article_id, category_id) SELECT t.id, c.id FROM textpattern t LEFT JOIN txp_category c on t.category2 = c.name where c.type = 'article' and t.category2 != '';

Thanks for help!

I posted the folowing question in the forum “How Do I…?” but thought it might be more appropriate to post here:

As I’m implementing rss_unlimited_categories plugin which uses a new table to maintain all the categories, how to get rid of the default TXP Category1 and Category2 dropdown menus under Write tab?

Actually, I expected to have the new Categorize dropdown replace with the default Category1 and Category2 once the plugin was installed. But apparently they are still there…

Thanks for help!

I use the ied_hide_in_admin plugin to remove the 2 default category fields.

Hello,
After install the rss_unlimited_admin_tab won’t appear. I’ve tried again in another TXP installation but it definitely doesn’t. It only says „Retricted Area”. How can I solve this?
Kind regards,

This add_privs() effect. Try to use search this thread – the unswer was here

Hi, I have a similar problem here. It says Restricted Area when I click the Extensions tab. I tried to search for the answer in this thread and crawled through all the pages. I still haven’t got a clue how to fix it as I am rather new to textpattern.
Can anyone help?

Hi, hope this is the right place to be asking….

I am just considering whether or not to use this plugin. I am nervous because I don’t like to rely on plugins too much. Using rss_u_c means also using the show/hide admin areas plugin and I’m worried that one or both could break with each txp release. I know this is true for many plugins but as this is quite a major one I was hoping someone here could reassure me or otherwise.

At the moment I have a messy hard coded solution to not having multiple categories but I would really like it to be smarter, as I am opening up my admin to other authors.

So basically, how stable is this plugin for the future?

Cheers…. marv

I use this awesome plugin on a couple of site.

Awesome plugin … but don’t expect actually help or upgrades from the author.

It would be fine if someone could adopt Rob Sable plugins.

I am using this great plugin, and have a list of categories in my sidebar. Each category has it’s own image, which is the reason for me posting here, because I don’t seem to be able to assign a li class to each list item without creating the entire, almost hard-coded, list by hand.

The code for each item in my category list form is:

<li class="blue">
<txp:category name="blue" link="1" >Blue [<txp:rss_unlimited_category_count section="colours" name="blue" />]</txp:category>
</li>

This is fine, but if I want to add another category, I have to duplicate this code and add it on to the list. What I would like to do is make this code reusable, more like:

<li class="<txp:category_name/>">
<txp:category name="<txp:category_name/>" link="1" ><txp:category_title/> [<txp:rss_unlimited_category_count section="colours" name="<txp:category_name/>" />]</txp:category>
</li>

…which I’m pretty sure cannot be done. Am I wrong? Have I explained it correctly?

Any help would be brilliant.

I don’t know the plugin, but normally you would do it like this:

<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="">
	<li class='<txp:category />'>
	<txp:category name='<txp:category />'><txp:category title="1" /> [<txp:rss_unlimited_category_count section="colours" name='<txp:category />' />]</txp:category>
	</li>
</txp:category_list>

I don’t know why I didn’t try this before, I guess I assumed that it couldn’t be done like that..

Thanks Els, I will try it now.

rathersplendid · 2009-03-30 09:38:51

Els, it works perfectly, thank you very much. I think my stumbling block was the fact that I didn’t know that by not declaring a break tag, or leaving it empty, that I could use one within the category_list form itself.

Cheers dude
