Great, thanks redbot. Is there a handy list anywhere of all the IDs used in the write page? Otherwise I’ll just sift through the page source myself.

Hi,
actually I thought to include it in the plugin help but I had no time.
I’ll see if I manage to do it. Meanwhile you can easily do it yourself installing some firefox add-on such as the “Web Developer Toolbar” or “Firebug” or “Css viewer” or another of the thousands available.

OK, I’ve compiled a list of IDs and classes of common elements on the write page, let me know if there are any errors or I’ve missed any important ones (I’ve not included individual custom fields since they are user defined anyway)…

COLUMN 1:

#textile_group

#textile_help

#advanced_group

.markup-body

.markup-excerpt

#custom_field_group

#custom_field

#image_group

.article-image

#meta_group

.keywords

.url-title

#recent_group

#recent

COLUMN 2:

.title

.body

.excerpt

COLUMN 3 (tabs):

#article-tabs

COLUMN 4:

#write-sort

.category-1

.category-2

.section

#more_group

#write-comments

#write-timestamp

#write-expires

Thank you Phil,
BTW, regarding custom fields, I forgot to mention that there is a difference if you are using glz_custom_fields or not.
With txp 4.3 each paragraph surrounding a cf has his own class (i.e .custom-1, .custom-2 etc.).
This is very handy but sadly, if you are using glz_custom (like me), you can’t benefit from the feature since all generated cfs have only a generic “.glz_custom_field” class. For this reason the plugin still targets cfs the old way, using jquery.

“Ossum” is spot on. Thank you so much, works miracles with glz_cf

Is there a way I could get bot_wtc to work with hiding/showing arc_twitter for certain sections?

Probably yes.
The issue is I can’t istall this plugin as it needs a twitter account to work and I don’t have one.
You can help me pasting here the html output in the write tab and possibly a screenshot.

OK thanks redbot, here’s the code as it appears in the write page…

<fieldset id=“arc_twitter”>
<legend>Update Twitter</legend>
<input type=“radio” id=“arc_tweet_this-arc_tweet_this-0” name=“arc_tweet_this” value=“0” class=“radio active” checked=“checked”>
<label for=“arc_tweet_this-arc_tweet_this-0”>No</label>
<input type=“radio” id=“arc_tweet_this-arc_tweet_this-1” name=“arc_tweet_this” value=“1” class=“radio”>
<label for=“arc_tweet_this-arc_tweet_this-1”>Yes</label>
<p class=“plain lever” style=“margin-top:5px;”><a href=”#arc_twitter_options”>Options</a></p>
<div id=“arc_twitter_options” class=“toggle” style=“display:none”>
<label for=“arc_twitter_prefix”>Tweet prefix</label>
<input type=“text” value=“Just posted:” name=“arc_twitter_prefix” size=“22” class=“edit” id=“arc_twitter_prefix”>
<label for=“arc_twitter_suffix”>Tweet suffix (eg #hashtags)</label>
<input type=“text” value=”“ name=“arc_twitter_suffix” size=“22” class=“edit” id=“arc_twitter_suffix”>
</div>
</fieldset>

Try this:

Add this line

'arc_twitter' => '$("#arc_twitter")',

in any point between line 19 and 54.

Let me know if it works

philwareham · 2011-02-18 16:01:27

Works perfect, many thanks! I can now show/hide/move arc_twitter on the write page.

This is such a great plugin. I wanted to recommend CSSEdit for helping with the CSS customization of the TXP backend along with this plugin. It has an inspector where you can easily see the ID’s classes of an element and all its ancestors. Also, you can make changes to your CSS locally, which are instantly reflected in the “Live Preview” of your TXP admin (or any other site for that matter) and then you can upload the CSS when you’re satisfied.

Thank you Nora! I fear your suggestion will be useful only for mac users though. For all the others I still reccomend firebug or/and the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox.

johnstephens · 2011-03-10 03:49:35

Safari also has a very useful Inspector that’s part of its integrated web developer toolset, and Safari isn’t just for Mac users these days.

Hi redbot.
I’m having an issue with the plugin, and I’m not sure where to start debugging.

On my local environment, when I try to apply some changes to bot_wtc rules (on bot_wtc tab) by hitting any of the “Update” buttons, I got redirected to the “Write” tab.
Weird thing is that on a remote deployment for the very same site, the plugin works fine.

Well… wait a minute… let’s try something quickie.
Let’s uninstall the plugin (just triggering the database cleaning step) and re-installing the tables again.
…
…
OK, it seems that worked! Of course, I’ve lost all bot_wtc customizations. I’ll dump the remote DB again and see if I can reproduce the problem.

I post this just in case someone is having the same issue.

Phew! I’m so glad you solved it by yourself Juliàn. You know, spring is approaching and I’m really not in the mood for bug hunting these days ;-)
Anyway is it something similar to this? This is a bug I never managed to solve or even reproduce.
