Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Hi there,
I think this should be a fairly obvious one, but I just wanted to throw it out here to double check. My site is a personal portfolio (of work).
The homepage consists of 4 of my latest pieces of work (being called through article_custom and the category ‘work’). Each piece of work in the portfolio will have a category of ‘work’ but will also be part of a couple other categories (for example, a website design might have the categories ‘websites’ & ‘identity’ as well as ‘work’).
Now, my question is- On my portfolio page, I plan to put subheadings on the page with all the different work types (or category types) i.e. sites, identity, print, motion etc. Would normal practice be just linking each of these to their own page? (So I if a clicked on ‘Print’, it would you take you to a page where i have specified the category as ‘print’).
I have seen a few ajax based portfolio galleries, where once a category is clicked, the work changes live in front of you on the site, which has made me question wether what I plan to do is the right way of doing it (or should I be using some if statement to decide what appears on the page).
It would be great to get some feedback on this,
Cheers

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Is there anyway to get this plugin to nest categories ?
I have Parent
Then sub children under that one.
The sub children under that one
most are 2-3 levels deep, a few go to 5 levels deep.
I can get the alphabetical list of categories to show, using rss_unlimited_categories_list linktosection=“category”
As noted by others, some tags don’t work.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.
edit:
It also leads to 404 pages.
The link shows like this, which is wrong: http://crestar.drivein-jim.net/crestar/“category”/adventures
I didn’t make it linkable, as it leads nowhere on my site.

Is it possible to list a certain amount of categories using the limit attribute of rss_unlimited_categories_list but provide a link indicating there are more categories to view which when clicked would show all the categories, similar to http://www.athlone.ie/athlonedirectory/browse.aspx

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
I would like to output a select option list of my categories (A list of states), but I don’t see how I can get the correct formatting. I am using the rss_unlimited_categories on this site.
What I end up with is: My call is made with.
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_list parent=“locations” section=“sales-representatives” linktosection=“sales-representatives” wraptag=“select” break=“option” />
the output I get is:
<select>
<option><a href=“http://mydomain.com/sales-representatives/alabama” title=“Alabama”>Alabama (1) </a></option>
<option><a href=“http://mydomain.com/sales-representatives/alaska” title=“Alaska”>Alaska (1) </a></option>…
What I would like to get is:
<select>
<option value=“http://mydomain.com/sales-representatives/alabama”>Alabama (1) </a></option>…
Any suggestions?
I tried poking around in the plugin code, but I can’t figure out how to modify.
thanks for any help.
Edit : I just realized I don’t need to use rss_unlimited_categories_list to make my option select list, I can use the regular <txp:category_list /> tag.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Is it possible with rss_uc to use it as a containment rather then a single tag?
I want to customize my output, e.g.:
<ul><li><span class="foo">»</span> {category}</li></ul>Offline

Has anyone ever gotten rss_unlimited_categories to be searchable/findable via Textpattern’s built-in search?

rss_uc just helps to assign more than 2 categories to article. what do you want to search?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Thank for your reply, Victor.
I want to be able to search for a category name or title (or part of one) and get something back, preferably the category page followed by articles in that category. Maybe I’m wrong that this is an issue with rss_uc? All my sites use it now, so I’m not too familiar with the default category situation.

Your task could be done by smd_query and smd_if

Veering a bit off-topic here, but how would I use those (or anything) to alter/amend the built-in search?

Hi makss
Is there a chance you can adopt this plugin and open a new thread at the author support forum. Posts like these disappear after a while
