Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
I would expect many front-side plugins to stop working in 4.8. But it’s the third txp version since introducing tags registry, the authors had almost four years to update their plugins.

Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
Sorry to come up with this again, but I run into the same problem again and I did not really manage to solve it the last time. I took a look at the post tag registering but I have no clue where to register it or where to put what exactly in case of smd_query. Can you help please?

Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
Sorry for the huge delay. I’ve finally released smd_query v0.6.0 which brings with it tag registration as well as <txp:smd_query_info /> tag which you can use instead of the {replacement} syntax for added power and flexibility.

Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
Thanks a lot Stef!
But I have to admit that my very problem was at the end not related to smd_query. I found out that it was in combination with smd_macro that caused the problem. I am using smd_query inside a smd_macro which until the update to 4.8.0 was working like a charm.
After I updated smd_query to 0.6.0 my problem was still there. First I tried to register the tags for smd_macro by putting the code for tag registration just inside the code on the top but no success. Maybe I miss something here? Would be good to know on how tag registration should be done in general to be able to help myself in the future. But I don´t want to go too much off-topic here.
For smd_macro: I know that I should not be using smd_marco anymore because txp forms can do the same and better. So I arranged all my macros in forms now and voila. Everything seems fine now.

If you’re using the latest version then it should auto-register your tags. Strange if not.

Yay, good. While it works well, smd_macro is a massive hack so the more people that can move to core shortcodes, the better.

Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
Here we go… my bad! Didn´t realise that there was a later version. I was on 0.30.
But anyway – as you said – I am happy to have switched it to the more elegant version.
Thanks again!

Re: smd_query: Talk to the database directly via SQL
Would it be possible to delete comments older than a certain amount from an article. i tried this code in an article-form, but it didn’t work out:
<txp:if_comments>
<txp:smd_query query="DELETE FROM 'txp_discuss' WHERE parentid = '<txp:article_id/>' AND DATEDIFF( NOW( ) , posted ) >=30">
</txp:smd_query>
</txp:if_comments>Offline

The query itself should work, provided the site is granted sufficient db permissions (stale cache?). But I wouldn’t recommend it, since if_comments pulls its data from articles comments_count field that will not be updated via this code.

Hi Stef
Got a warning about count for empty results, sent you a commit on GitHub.
Cheers.
PS: Another warning on php 7 about $pageout = “” it should be $pageout = array(); (in the textpattern modify plugin it s on line 143)
