~~trying to access the url returns the ‘restricted area’ warning.~~
~~any ideas..?~~

reinstalling the last version of the plugin fixed the prroblem

thank you

I use the plugin’s custom script feature to display select box with list of articles

<?php
function list_articles($custom_field, $custom_id, $custom_value) {
    $articles = array();
    $query = safe_rows('ID, Title', 'textpattern','1=1');
    foreach ($query as $article)
        $articles[$article['ID']] = $article['Title'];
    return glz_selectInput($custom_field, $custom_id, $articles, $custom_value, "");
}
?>

So that lists all the articles, but my plan is to have it show only articles from section that is selected. I would use javascript to hide/show articles from the select list, triggered by the section select value.

Problem is I would need to pass each articles section as class for the wrapping <option> tag. So I think I would need to modify glz_selectInput function slightly to be able to pass the section as variable, and the set it as class for the option tag.

function glz_selectInput($name = '', $id = '', $arr_values = '', $custom_value = '', $default_value = '', $multi = '') {
  if ( is_array($arr_values) ) {
    global $prefs;
    $out = array();
    // if there is no custom_value coming from the article, let's use our default one
    if ( empty($custom_value) )
      $custom_value = $default_value;
    foreach ($arr_values as $key => $value) {
      $selected = glz_selected_checked('selected', $key, $custom_value, $default_value);
      $out[] = "<option value=\"$key\"{$selected}>$value</option>";
    }
    // we'll need the extra attributes as well as a name that will produce an array
    if ($multi) {
      $multi = ' multiple="multiple" size="'.$prefs['multiselect_size'].'"';
      $name .= "[]";
    }
    return "<select id=\"".glz_idify($id)."\" name=\"$name\" class=\"list\"$multi>".
      ($default_value ? '' : "<option value=\"\"$selected>&nbsp;</option>").
      ( $out ? join('', $out) : '').
      "</select>";
  }
  else
    return glz_custom_fields_gTxt('field_problems', array('{custom_set_name}' => $name));

I do not have chops to do it myself, so I was wondering if someone more skilled would be kind enough to teach how to pass the variable through the function or let me know if this would be more complicated than I thought.

I’m trying to install the 1.4.0-beta1 in a clean install of Textpattern 4.5.4 (r4919) and keep getting the following error

I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that. I think plugin plugin_install is no safe operation at this time.

—edit—
Rereading the posts here, is the plugin only compatible with Textpattern 4.6 builds?

I’ve just (yesterday) used the 1.4.0-beta1 with Textpattern 4.5.4 without problem, so no.

Besides, Textpattern 4.6 will have it’s own native custom fields built into the core – glz_custom_fields will not be needed in the future (it’s effectively unsupported and orphaned now anyway – Gerhard updated it to work with 4.5 as a stopgap measure).

Algaris · 2013-02-20 10:24:25

That means something else is going on here. I’m wondering if my installation didn’t go through correctly as I’m now getting errors for other plugins I’ve just installed:

Internal error “Data too long for column ‘version’ at row 1”.
Internal error “Table ‘txp_db.bot_wtc’ doesn’t exist”.

I’ve also started getting the following error when going to the Write page.

I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that. I think article create is no safe operation at this time.

I think it’s time to do a fresh install and try again. Thanks for your help and the information Phil.

I think I’ve heard that recently here: there’s an additional step in the bot_wtc installation, IIRC you’ve to visit the bot_wtc extension panel and install the lacking table from there.

Ah, I see, thank you I completely missed that, I’ve got it working now. Just not having a lot of luck with glz_custom_fields. I’m trying to workout if it’s a plugin problem or something with my install. Just in case I started a new thread so as not to de-rail this one too much:

Just checked the first post for the linking to the current version: is this pull/2 here really the beta1 that’s mentioned today?

hi

i do have a problem over here.
this is somehow interfering with rss_unlimited_custom_fields. if the glz plugin is active and i set an attribute to a custom field and use the rss_uc field, the custom_field is not saved. with the fancy ajax in txp 4.5.4 it looks like its saved, but if you reload the article you see that the field is not saved. if i disable glz the custom fields are all saved properly. unluckily this is not an option :P

i also posted this in the rss_uc forum
