I don’t know if this is a bug but on one of my web I started to use your great aks_header plugin. But when active and insert into code (in any gzip/strip combination) it conflict with gbp_permanent_links plugin that I use to url rewrite – everything works – only parameter for “pg” is shown, so instead of:

www.domain.com/3/

I have:

www.domain.com/?pg=3

It only crush with pagination, all others url rewrite seems to be ok. Have somebody an idea why?

Rewrite code for compatibility with gbp_permanent_links and some other plugins

It is working now – as I wrote I had a problem with pagination here: www.ovsem.net but now with aks_header 0.3.3 it’s all right. Thank you.

Thanks for the plugin. Using your instructions, modified only for context, I added the ability to add external javascript files. I followed your instructions exactly. The only problem is taht the end of any javascript file gets this added:
<h2 id=“comment”></h2>

Which then of course appears to break my javascript, jquery.js in this case:
http://admin1.servercorps.net/js/jquery.js

Any ideas?

nik.martin · 2009-09-19 20:40:32

I think I found out what’s up: If Site Wide Comments are on (Admin > Preferences > Basic > Accept Comments), then an <h2 id=“comment”> is placed the bottom of EVERY article, regardless if comments are on for that article or whether “One By Default” is set to No, whic it is in my site. I think this is a bug in TXP, so I’m gonna check there. Otherwise, this totally breaks ANY use of aks_header for linking to normally external file in txp.

Why is this any better than mod_gzip?

ruud · 2009-09-20 11:55:13

Because adding domain specific compression (stripping unnecessary spacing) works better than using only generic compression (gzip), although the compression rate of gzip + space-stripping is not really a lot higher than just using gzip, which is clearly visible in the test that’s included in the topic start. When not using gzip, stripping spaces gives 8% compression, but if you are already using gzip, stripping spaces only compresses 1% more. It’s an interesting experiment, but not worth it in reality.

Set (Admin > Preferences > Basic > Automatically append comments to articles? – NO)

or

Temporary solution – edit Form “comments_display” and add some if tags.
For example <txp:if_comments_allowed><h2 id="comment">....</h2></txp:if_comments_allowed>

.

Possible it’s TxP bug or I understand TxP logic. :(

File /textpattern/publish.php, code from function doArticle

if ($use_comments and $comments_auto_append)
{
        $article .= parse_form('comments_display');
}

Possible this code need change to:

if ($use_comments and $comments_auto_append and $thisarticle['annotate'])
{
        $article .= parse_form('comments_display');
}

I’d rather see the entire auto_append stuff removed from preferences. It’s the cause of a lot of confusion.
