Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
Re-uploaded the file another time: I had forgotten that Matts code required a second article_status injection. Please download once again.

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
Uli, where in the plug-in CSS do I have to put status_1
, status_2
, etc … ?
This doesn’t work:
#navigation .section li span .status_4 {
background: red;
}

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
I think simply .status_4
should work.
And it doesn’t work because of the space after span
.

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
I always used a customized version of Remora, and just remarked difficulties using the Remora menu on the stm_ao page when created by a vanilla stylesheet: The menu closes before you can reach the second or third list item.
Solution 1: Download the new version:- Fixed the CSS-bug with the Vanilla Remora menu
- Added two links for folding all articles in one go as another means of making the list more manageable. Like before, you can expand single sections by clicking their title bars.
Or, if you don’t want to ruin all your custom stm_ao styles and translations …
Solution 2:
Add the following line to the end of your Remora stylesheet or into the CSS section of the plugin:
#nav li ul {z-index: 999;}

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
This one is not rocket science but I never thought of relieving the life of my clients with a front side link to stm_ao, and so might you:
<a href="<txp:site_url />textpattern/index.php?event=stm_article_order#article_<txp:article_id />">Arrange articles</a>
As you see, this will open the stm_ao pane and scroll down to the desired item (if the list is long enough and articles aren’t set to hidden). Goes without saying that it lives in an article form and that I wrapped it in rvm_if_privileged tags. And the following declaration block in textpattern.css for classic marks the clicked item in the list:
#page-stm_article_order .article:target {
border-right: 20px solid #FFD438;
}

Nora, I’m glad you like my improvements. That you come here for letting me know is reward enough.
If still you feel like giving something, I’m sure you know organizations with a donation button.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
Well Uli — just know that your contribution is sincerely appreciated! I found maybe an interesting little use for stm_article_order, for ordering sections in a nav menu, which I posted in another thread
I know there are other plugins and ways to do it, but I like the interface of stm_article_order, so I thought I’d stick with it for sections too.

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
The longer I think about it the more I like the idea of having one tab for sorting everything! And this can probably be extended for sorting categories, too.
The resort of having another means of sorting sections made me post an idea for esq_sectiosort I had weeks ago: custom fields for sections (again converting something ;)

I’d like to have this for sorting the links (for each link-category, like sorting the articles via drag’n‘drop per section) – today this is not very comfortable :-)

Re: stm_article_order: Arbitrary sort order for your articles
I have just another question: Actually, the newest article becomes the first article in the backend of stm_ao – like:
ID 35 article 3 in section A
ID 15 article 2 in section A
ID 10 Article 1 in section A
Is is possible that the “automatic positioning” is the other way round? Like:
ID 10 Article 1 in section A
ID 15 article 2 in section A
ID 35 article 3 in section A
This would help me a lot!
Thanks in advance
David
