Re: Slow adding New Categories
Altering categories should be much faster in 4.8.8 now, especially when you have thousands of them. This has required much code rewriting, so please test if everything works as expected. We are waiting for Phil’s opinion to eventually change the HTML markup on the admin side.
As a by-product, <txp:category_list /> has got some enhancements to easily output category trees/branches:
<!-- output a nested tree of 'somecat' children -->
<txp:category_list parent="somecat" children wraptag="ul" break>
<txp:category />
</txp:category_list>
<!-- output the path from parent to child category -->
<txp:category_list parent="somecat" categories="childcat" wraptag="ul" break />Offline

a first quick test, with about 50 categories: category lists and category based pages feel faster. And all still display as expected so far :-) Will see if/how I can test with more categories (thousands probably not, though, wouldn’t know how to handle those…)
BTW, I had a play at building the category panel as a list (mockup, articles only) – here.

I have tested with ~1000 categories, and, say, deleting few categories switches from ~1000 queries and 1.7s to almost immediately. You can call
<txp:php>rebuild_tree_full('article');</txp:php>to emulate the previous behaviour (and also restore the tree if anything goes west).

Looks fine, thank you. I leave the decision with you UX gurus.

Re: Slow adding New Categories
Hi
I downloaded today the 4.8.8 branch to test the category change but got an error message when going to admin :
( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of Textpattern\Textfilter\Registry::offsetSet() must be an instance of Textpattern\Textfilter\void, none returned in C:\wamp64\www\textpattern-4.8.7\textpattern\vendors\Textpattern\Textfilter\Registry.php on line 160

Cheers.

I Phil, it s really nice, it s good to see the ul/li construction after all, i can then publish some little plugins to add some functions like: Show/Hide children / Slide to a desired category / View name category or title category, …
Cheers.

Hi,
misery, void return type was added in php 7.1. Try removing these declarations in textpattern\vendors\Textpattern\Textfilter\Registry.php (then php 8.1 will complain).

Uhhh rock and a hard place. That’s annoying. Almost forces us to adopt 7.1 minimum. Drat.

Yep. Or release two versions, but seemingly webhosts sometimes upgrade php without warning the users.
Actually, we don’t seem to use the conflicting code anywhere in core. I also doubt any plugin needs it. So we could probably just comment it out?
