smd_bio : store additional biographical info about your users

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.

Destry · 2016-09-06 14:18:27

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…)

phiw13 · 2017-02-07 23:38:32

While I’m at it, a few small changes:

For the table on the list page, change the class of the first <th > in the <thead /> from .multi-edit to .txp-list-col-multi-edit (matching all other list panels)

On the users edit panels, small improvement to the display of the image row:

.smd_bio_image { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top}
.smd_bio_image img { vertical-align: bottom; margin: .2em .5em}

Edit: Here is a mockup (using Sandspaces theme).

I was working on some code to display links to various social networks for each author but only the ones that were actually used. After getting it working, I noticed how repetitive it was.

So I made a bunch of links (Facebook, Twitter, Github, Google+. Pinterest, LinkedIn) and put them in a Category Social.

I call them using:

<txp:linklist category="Social" sort="linksort asc" >
    <txp:smd_bio_info fields='<txp:link_name />'>
        <txp:smd_if_bio field='<txp:link_name />'>
            <a href="<txp:smd_bio_data field='<txp:link_name />' />">
                <svg>
                    <use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#<txp:link_name />"></use>
                </svg>
            </a>
        </txp:smd_if_bio>
    </txp:smd_bio_info> 
</txp:linklist>

smd_bio v0.5.0 is (finally) here for Textpattern 4.7.0+.

Use Txp 4.7.0-style language identifiers.
Add class txp-form-field to wrapping divs for all bio fields in admin (thanks, johnstephens).
Fix classnames and scope (thanks, philwareham and phiw13).
Fix SQL errors when creating columns.
Fix MySQL restrictions on DEFAULT column types.
Alter default column types for most columns. Text-based columns are way too big and result in performance issues as they cannot be cached.
Register tags.
Layout fix for ‘More’ widgets.
Use getThings() instead of safe_field() to avoid triggering a bug (thanks, makss).

As usual, please report any issues or enhancements. Enjoy!

Thank you, Bloke! I can’t believe I did something helpful for this plugin, though.

Kjeld · 2023-12-28 07:32:50

When installing sms_bio I get the following errors:

A problem occurred while loading the plugin:  -> Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool on line 1575
A problem occurred while loading the plugin:  -> Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null on line 1575

I get the errors with both v0.5.0 and v0.5.1.

I am using Textpattern v4.8.8.

Any idea why this is happening?
