Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
Jon-Michael, thanks for this extremely versatile plugin! After understanding what it does and what can be done with it I was completely stunned to see, that it uses only around 1500 bytes.
Do you plan on giving it more criteria for neighborhood than the article id?
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Glad you’re finding it useful!

I could – what kind of neighbors were you thinking about? By category?

Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
Jon-Michael, I’m quiet happy, that you ask for my ideas, cause I have plenty!
As I never deploy txp as a blog, but rather as a CMS, “date” would be fine for me. Or custom_n. Maybe custom_n is already almost the work required for a freely definable ‘db-column=“column_name”’ from table “textpattern”, since some plugins like to install their own columns. Or a fixed sort order by ID for static pages, sort=“ID” order=“33,12,58,17,18,16”.
I don’t know what seems reasonable and which of my ideas requires how much of your valuable time. I just thought ID in the actual way of handling wouldn’t allow for more universal applications, that the idea behind this fine plugin potentially offers.

Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
Nice plug-in, thank you. I too would love to see sort options, as I’m sorting a section by a custom field.

Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
Does anybody have an installable .txt version of this plugin?
Thanks

Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
I could only find the php file (which you can drop into your plugin_tmp folder (defined in the admin > settings) if you want to use it. If you have ied_plugin_composer installed, you can export a txt installer file from there.
But if the built-in link_to_next and link_to_prev tags don’t cut it for you, you might want to look at etc_link_to (see other threads in the form for examples) or smd_horizon.

Re: jmd_neighbor: Pipe neighboring articles into an article form
Thank you Jakob, finally I know how to make good use of plugins when only php file is available.

This seems to do what I actually need (next and prev navigation with relevant article image backgrounds).
Unfortunately I am playing with 4.6.0 Beta and the plugin gives me this error: Unregisterd_Tag
Should I ask the developer to make the plugin 4.6.0 compatible?

It will not work as is in 4.6, you need to replace $next_id
and $prev_id
with $thisarticle['next']['thisid']
and $thisarticle['prev']['thisid']
. Amazingly, it seems to be no core tag for prev/next ids.

Oops, sorry, it needs some reworking for the same reason that in my previous post. I’ll try to do it quickly.
Edit: ATM, it should suffice to add this at the beginning of the plugins code:
// TXP 4.6 tag registration
if (class_exists('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')) {
Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')->register('etc_link_to')
->register('etc_link_page')
->register('etc_link_id')
->register('etc_link_title');
}

No. Definitely it needs some reworking. Take your time.
And thank you again.
P.S. Registering error disappeared, by the way.
