etc_query: all things Textpattern

Here is something to make you start:

<txp:variable name="contlist">
<txp:article_custom wraptag="ul">
<txp:etc_query data='<txp:custom_field name="ONIX_record" escape="" />'
    query="//Product/Contributor[ContributorRole='B06']/PersonNameInverted"
    markup="xml" break="li"
>{?}</txp:etc_query>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:variable>

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:variable name="contlist" />'>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="ul">
	<dl>
	<xsl:for-each select="li">
		<xsl:sort select="." order="ascending" />
		<txp:if_different><dt><strong><xsl:copy-of select="substring(text(), 1, 1)" /></strong></dt></txp:if_different>
		<dd><xsl:copy-of select="text()" /></dd>
	</xsl:for-each>
	</dl>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</txp:etc_query>

After every 3 paragraphs I add my phrase. Now I use this:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' separator="|\/|" replace='p[2]$=<txp:output_form form="remark_1" />|\/| p[4]$=<txp:output_form form="remark_2/>"/> |\/| p[8]$=<txp:output_form form="remark_3"/>' />

I want to complicate the task. It is necessary to add a phrase to the article for the section and for the category.

Separately, such a request works:

<txp:output_form form='remark_1-<txp:section/><txp:category/>' />

<txp:output_form form='remark_2-<txp:section/><txp:category/>' />

<txp:output_form form='remark_3-<txp:section/><txp:category/>' />

But etc_query doesn’t work:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' separator="|\/|" replace='p[2]$=<txp:output_form form='remark_1-<txp:section/><txp:category/>' />|\/| p[6]$=<txp:output_form form='remark_2-<txp:section/><txp:category/>'/> |\/| p[10]$=<txp:output_form form='remark_3-<txp:section/><txp:category/>' />' />

I do not understand how to do it right.

How can I add a category and / or section?

Hello,

you should duplicate quotes inside quotes:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' separator="|\/|"
    replace='p[2]$=<txp:output_form form=''remark_1-<txp:section/><txp:category/>'' />|\/|
        p[6]$=<txp:output_form form=''remark_2-<txp:section/><txp:category/>''/> |\/|
        p[10]$=<txp:output_form form=''remark_3-<txp:section/><txp:category/>'' />' />

Hope that helps.

I checked. It is working.

Thank you, Oleg!

P.S.

Question out of curiosity.

How to write this in a container?

<txp:etc_query>
....
</txp:etc_query>

I can not do it

You can rename your forms to remark_2-... (6, 10, …), and try something like

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' query="*">
    {.}
    <txp:evaluate query="{#row}=2 or {#row}=6 or {#row}=10">
        <txp:output_form form='remark_{#row}-<txp:section /><txp:category />' />
    </txp:evaluate>
</txp:etc_query>

This will insert the forms after the 2nd, 6th and 10 HTML node, not necessary p. The body must be well structured.

Plugin contains great features. Need to learn to work with them. I try.

Thank you!

Hi, can somebody help me.

I updated my site to the newest version of Textpattern, which was long overdue, but as a result some plugins have stopped working, including rss_auto_excerpt.

So now I’m trying to use etc_query to do either the same, or a similar thing. I simply want to call up the <txp:body /> but limit the output to the first 50 words. That’s it.

I found the following code:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' replace="//@style" query="p[1]" />

which will output only the first paragraph of the article’s body text, which is a start, but is there a way to simply limit it to the first 50 words?

Thanks

Hi Karsten, the “long overdue” part makes me think that those plugins might be easy to repair following these two advice as most plugins were broken at some point (4.6?) and could be fixed that way. Advantage: You might continue using your existing plugin tags.

In case you want to benefit from 4.7’s from/to changes, here’s another easy fix. And some hints on how to repair several other plugins.

Karsten · 2020-01-22 15:15:41

Thanks, but I’m not really into PHP myself, wouldn’t really know where to start. On the forum page of the specific plugin it is simply stated that it is orphaned.

rah_metas can do more or less the same thing, but uses the functionality to generate meta tags (and this one does work in the newest TXP). So it should not be so difficult in itself. But unfortunately it is too difficult for me to figure it out

I can’t write a single line of PHP on my own, but I could with ease fix all plugins I used.

Mostly it’s been tag registration, which is as simple as pasting the code from the link here to the start of the plugin code, and for each tag your plugin provides you add a line with the function’s name, like Ruud explained.

As an example, here’s the complete list from com_connect, one tag on each line.

// Register tags if necessary.
if (class_exists('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')) {
    Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')
        ->register('com_connect')
        ->register('com_connect_text')
        ->register('com_connect_email')
        ->register('com_connect_textarea')
        ->register('com_connect_select')
        ->register('com_connect_option')
        ->register('com_connect_checkbox')
        ->register('com_connect_radio')
        ->register('com_connect_serverinfo')
        ->register('com_connect_secret')
        ->register('com_connect_submit')
        ->register('com_connect_send_article')
        ->register('com_connect_value')
        ->register('com_connect_label')
        ->register('com_connect_if');
}

Just note the semicolon after the last register line. I.e. if you can write text with correct punctuation, you should have no difficulty.

Hi Karsten,

rah_metas is no longer needed as txp currently offers meta description tags for sections, categories and individual pages.

Re the rss_auto_excerpt plugin, do check Oleg’s patch or preferably, experiment with Julian’s no plugins solution, and Oleg’s more optimised contribution, further down in the thread.
