Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
stef,
how can i thank you? your last post set me on the right track: there was a strange special char ( ) in the article categories of five articles. thus, the console showed a syntax error while loading. i have no idea how the special char made it into the categories list but removing it brought the plugin back to work!
many thanks, problem solved!

Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
hello stef, hello forum,
i’m very sorry that i have to come back again, but unfortunately the plugin is still not working on image tab (overlooked this last time when i reported success …).
the console throws two errors:
unterminated string literal
http://sha.contao-webservice.de/textpattern/index.php?event=image
Line 51
unterminated string literal
http://sha.contao-webservice.de/textpattern/index.php?event=image
Line 459
and refers to this parts of the parsed code:
pjs.innerHTML = '<span>
jQuery(".search-form").before('<div
i would of course permit login to stef if this is helps.
many thanks for helping me to sort this out.

Hmmm, probably caused by some characters in your image categories that the plugin doesn’t like. Any weird characters floating around? Apostrophes? Double quotes? Accents? Non-printable ASCII? Stuff like that?

hi stef,
thanks for your reply. i did check this before my post and didn’t find any. however, i’ll now re-enter all categories from scratch and see what happens. i’ll report back.

Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
this is very weird: there were indeed strange characters in the categories (again   in the categories made by one of the editors), but they displayed only when i logged into the backend with opera (11.61). in firefox i couldn’t see it. therefore i didn’t find it first.
i did remove it and now i have the plugin back.
thanks again!

Hi Stef,
I think, there is a mistake on row where is 'step' => 'link_edit'
. There should be 'step' => 'link'
to browse links by categories on the same page.

Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
Hi Steph,
although years later, just the hint that latest with Textpattern 4.7.3 there is a class name change of the search form: “search-form” became “txp-search”.
I did not see the added pull down menus for filtering by section and/or category until I changed in smd_browse_by_js from “.search-form” to “.txp-search”.
Maybe some further adaptions needed, at least regarding formatting of the additional elements. Also I did not yet check all other content panels.
Thanks or all your great contributions!

Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
I find the smd_browse_by plugin (v0.11.1) very helpful although it seems to be no longer updated. After updating Textpattern to 4.8.7 und PHP 8 the following error message appears after login and disappears after reloading the page. Could this be fixed?
Deprecated: Required parameter $blank_first follows optional parameter $select_name in
(…)/public_html/textpattern/plugins/smd_browse_by/smd_browse_by.php
on line 141
Deprecated: Required parameter $onchange follows optional parameter $select_name in
(…)/public_html/textpattern/plugins/smd_browse_by/smd_browse_by.php
on line 141

Re: smd_browse_by: browse articles, images, files and links by category
What’s wrong on line 141 in PHP 8? Can I change something and after that everything will be fine?
$out = array();
Context:
function smd_browse_select_input($select_name = '', $array = '', $value = '', $blank_first, $onchange, $select_id = '', $truncate = 0) {
$out = array();
$selected = false;
$level = 0;
