gbp_permanent_links

LetterHoofd · 2009-08-31 18:55:54

I have these versions installed

gbp_admin_library: 0.4.669
gbp_permanent_links: 0.14.4

For anyone who’s experiencing the “Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference” thing with gbp_permanent_links, the fix is fairly trivial, if non-intuitive at first glance. Scroll down to line 515ish (as of v0.14.4) in the plugin and replace this:

if (!@$pretext_replacement && count($this->partial_matches))
	$pretext_replacement = array_shift(array_slice($this->partial_matches, -1));

with this:

if (!@$pretext_replacement && count($this->partial_matches)) {
	$pt_slice = array_slice($this->partial_matches, -1);
	$pretext_replacement = array_shift($pt_slice);
}

That should make everything happy again.

@Bloke
That did the trick. Thanks!

@Bloke
Thanks! I’ll role out a new version later today.

I’m trying to allow a permanent link that ignores the article title if specified on a /section/id/ link. I thought this would be accomplished by building a permanent link rule like this:

section /id /.* /

However, that doesn’t seem to be working, I’m getting a 404 for URLs iwth the correct section, correct id, but wrong title.

Is it possible to create a permanent link that ignores the trailing title?

Are you planning to use this rule site wide? Only asking because Txp can do this without the plugin :)

mericson · 2009-09-13 18:27:43

Yes, I was planning to do this sitewide and I was used to the fact that Txp does the title stripping for me. However, after using gbp_permanent_links (for other URL formats I must support) that behavior (stripping article title) doesn’t seem to be working.

Ah, I see. I was going to give this rule a try on my test install, but I’m having trouble getting the plugin to work at all in 4.2.0… But doesn’t it work if you just use a rule like /section/id/?

OK, I thought I had a grasp on this plugin and conditionals, but I need some help. Using v.14, set up a section/category/title that works very well. However, I am having issues getting the correct conditionals in the page template to work correctly. I need all of the following URL schemes to work:

site.com/section
site.com/section/category
site.com/section/category/title
site.com/section/title (for articles not in the above category)

Using different types of conditionals, this is as close as I can get:

<txp:if_category>
	<txp:article />
<txp:else />
	<txp:if_individual_article>
		<txp:article />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:article_custom id="3" />
	</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:if_category>

This code gets everything but site.com/section (the hard-coded article_custom tag) to display properly. I am sure someone has run into this before, so any help would be very appreciated. I searched through some older posts but didn’t see anything useful.

Update: This code actually works. The problem was not in the conditional structure, but the fact that the article with the ID of 3 had a URL title competing with the section name, so TXP didn’t know if it was site.com/section or site.com/article-title and went with the latter. Changing the URL title of the article to something unique solved the problem. Hopefully this helps someone else down the road.

I know this is a very basic request, but as a non-IT person who has been using textpattern for a couple of years and can usually get plugins to work after a bit of trial and error, somehow this one’s stumped me.

Firstly, I kept getting error messages with everything but the minified version, so hopefully this is an ok one for me to be using.

Then, I’m basically just trying to change a messy URL structure to a clean and rewrite the old URLs – probably just section/title, as I don’t use categories on the site. Does anyone have a couple of minutes to write a very brief few steps I should be following, as at the moment I get 404s rather than redirects across the site. I guess it has something to do with the ‘Redirect this permanent link to…’ section from looking at other posts in this thread, but I have no options in the dropdown and have no idea what I should be putting in ‘HTTP location:’

Thanks!

There is an option to change messy url to section/title directly in the preferences, you don’t need a plugin.

si.b · 2009-10-15 12:13:29

Thanks Zanza, but when I do that, none of the old links on the site work. And there are a lot…
