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

hoho · 2009-05-04 09:19:55

Hello,

I’m wondering if Rob still maintains this great plugin. The ‘ORPHAN’ keyword suggests he does not but I’m not familiar with the conventions at this forum.

The last official version bump was two years ago, a number of bugs have been identified and fixed since then and I find it very tedious and uncomfortable to search this long and unstructured thread for fixes of bugs I experience with the latest official version. What would be the best way of continuously providing an easy to find version featuring all bug fixes? For instance, could someone take over or is it be better to introduce a new plugin ???_unlimited_categories?

Anyway, makks, would you share the uncompressed version of 0.7.4p2, please? I would like to extend it with few patches from this thread and of my own, namely

selected categories are gone after text->preview/html->text cycle
it is not possible to deselect all categories (or I didn’t know how so I added a JavaScript control to do the job)
the plugin tries to modify the interface even on ‘html’ and ‘preview’ tabs which results in errors reported to the console (I like clean code)

Check my modifications (only the PHP part): rss_unlimited_categories-0.7.4p3.php.txt

Thanks makss!

Talking about “uncompressed plugin” I meant something else. The correct keyword was “to decode”. Sorry for hassling you.

makss · 2009-05-08 19:49:31

To create, edit and publish plugins, I use ied_plugin_composer IMHO, it’s a best solution.
For support TAB in edit area install upm_insert_tab v0.3p1

Is there a way to use rss_uc to retrieve articles with multiple categories using “AND” instead of “OR”? That is, can I request articles of categories 1 and 2?

floodfish · 2009-05-09 01:49:06

Can anyone confirm if rss_unlimited_categories_related is working with v0.7.4p4 ?

Or maybe I am just using it wrong. I get the titles of the related articles, but can’t get the category names themselves to show up.

Can anyone provide a sample form that should work for this? I can’t figure out which tag (if any) to represent the category name itself.

So, I’ve been poking around in the SQL to get articles with all of the specified categories instead of just one, but I can’t figure out how.

The query as it exists now is:

SELECT DISTINCT t.ID FROM textpattern as t
		LEFT JOIN textpattern_category as tc ON t.ID = tc.article_id
		LEFT JOIN txp_category as cat ON cat.id = tc.category_id
		WHERE  1=1 AND ( (section = 'sectioname') ) AND  Status=4  
		AND ( cat.name = 'artistname'  OR  cat.name = 'blog' )
		 and Posted <= now()

the most relevant part being:

AND ( cat.name = 'artistname'  OR  cat.name = 'blog' )

However, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to change that OR to function as an AND. Any suggestions / snippets would be very much appreciated.

In the plugin, this code is built on and around lines 396 and 430.

Matt, would grouping your categories and using everything with the same parent be any help?

Recently updated site from 4.0.6 with rss_uc0.74 to 4.0.8 with rss_uc7.4p4 – works good, but didn’t tested global variables fixes yet.

Is it possible to use rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder in such a way that it doesn’t link the list entries? (plain text only?)

floodfish · 2009-05-28 20:43:18

dl33, I don’t think so. but could be a relatively easy hack to change the code, somewhere around lines 190-199
