smd_bio : store additional biographical info about your users

johnstephens · 2016-08-02 19:58:32

Hey, Stef!

I’m scoping out the new Textpattern 4.6 beta 2, and making sure everything will work on a client site before upgrading it on the public server. Woo hoo!

Checking out my user bios in the editor, I see that the smd_bio fields no longer line up well layout-wise with Phil’s new design. This isn’t a catastrophe, but it will throw off at least one of my change-averse team members.

In principle, I should be able to figure out the layout revisions and edit the plugin. If so, would you welcome a pull request to update the plugin to play nice with the new admin theme design?

Absolutely! Please check out the github repo first though in case I’ve fixed bits of it already. Can’t remember how far I got, sorry.

The fix is simple, just need to add a class to the markup. I’ll pore over the plugin and figure out where.

Done and done!

Stef,

Nothing has changed on my status since last report, but I’ve decided to modify my bio config and output a bit before wasting more time on it, mainly because the URL redirecting under the circumstances is too bizarre to get right.

So instead of using RealName for URL and display, I want to try creating two new fields for “First Name” and “Last Name” to build URLs like:

../author/destry-wion

For example:

<p>
<txp:smd_bio_info fields="fname, lname">
  <a href="/author/<txp:smd_bio_data field="fname" />-<txp:smd_bio_data field="lname" />">
  <txp:smd_bio_data field="fname" /> <txp:smd_bio_data field="lname" /></a>
</txp:smd_bio_info>
</p>

That way all new profile URLs are only different by the /author/ part of the path, which I’m hoping will make it easier to redirect URLs from ../people/first-last to ../author/first-last, instead of trying to wrangle ModRewrite rules that go from this…

../people/destry-wion

to this…

../author/Destry Wion (i.e. RealName)

to this…

../author/destry-wion

Does that make any sense? Doable?

If so, the only problem I’m having at this point is being able to create the new First Name and Last Name fields. smd_bio doesn’t seem to let me do it. I can delete fields (I did one), but I can’t create any without getting an error.

Do you have an update of the plugin available?

Master Sifu, critical bug!

Critical bug fixed on GitHub the other day, forgot to update this thread. If you need a compiled version, just yell. If not, by all means grab the .php file there and chuck it at ied_plugin_composer and let me know how it goes.

Plugin is working. I can now edit fields in bio_config handily. Thank you.

smd_bio 0.41
Textpattern v4.6.2

Getting the following errors:

Tag error: <txp:smd_bio_info fields="image" label="" wraptag="div" class="photoblog_profile"> -> Textpattern Notice: unregistered_tag while parsing form single_bottom on page archive

Tag error: <txp:smd_bio_articles limit="4" wraptag="div" class="profile" break="br" section="reports"> -> Textpattern Notice: unregistered_tag while parsing form single_bottom on page archive

a) Do I need to fix that with this code?

b) Or can I just add the following above all the code of the plugin?

if (class_exists('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')) {
    Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')
        ->register('smd_bio_info')
        ->register('smd_bio_articles')
      ;
}

c) Or do you have a newer version of smd_bio?

Can I still fix that

Yes, but it’s only a warning, so not important. I do have a newer version but it isn’t quite complete: checkbox sets don’t look very nice in the bio page. I asked Phil about a design pattern for it ages ago and forgot to follow up.

I’ve released it today as a beta so you can at least use it. As far as I can tell, the only bug is the slightly ugly checkbox sets. And the image widget needs some visual love.

Thanks, Bloke!

So, I guess I can just wait until you are done?

@ Bloke

For your checkbox sets, just follow the pattern used for input type=radio on the Preference panel.

(I never noticed, I’ve never used checkboxes…)
