wet_quickopen: Open recent (and not so recent) articles quickly

wet · 2011-02-19 08:20:01

wet_quickopen 0.4 loads snappier thanks to Textpattern 4.3 capabilities, lists matching articles at the hit of the enter key (the “type and wait” lazy search mode is till there, no worries).

Reporting minor issues between wet_quickopen & TXP 4.5 Beta.
This same issue is happening with this plugin.
I’ve tried Gocom’s suggestion, by changing this line:

register_callback('wet_quickopen_clutch', 'article');

into this line

register_callback('wet_quickopen_clutch', 'admin_side', 'head_end');

It seems to have worked: no more alert message on Save.

Only issue I see now is that each time the article is ajaxly saved, a new text input is added in the Recent Articles box, but only the first one keeps being functional (i.e. triggers a search).

I think you really should rethink the way you use the plugin cache. Hoping that every single plugin author fixes issues caused by ignoring a specified load order and deliberately chosen plugin types might not be the best tactic.

I understand. It’s just that having the plugins installed in the cache is, imo, very convenient both for development (even more when team working) and for deploying. Also, as you may have read in some post by me, it allows me to have a huge plugin repository, storing lots of Txp plugins and many versions, letting me install any of them via a symlink.

In any case, I’d be OK with having a few plugins installed directly in the DB, if I can’t get them to work properly from filesystem. And although I won’t expect every single plugin author to fix issues for using their plugins in a non-standard way, I will report & try to help authors to solve them.

PS: I have yet to understand & try this method of loading plugins, by Gocom, which I’ve tried before without success, to see if it improves the situation and helps with the workflow.

Hello,

I installed wet_quickopen (with wet_peex) in TXP 4.5.4 – but it does not work.
When I type any character in the input field, the list below hide away.

My question: Are there known Problems with the newest TXP Version?
Or is Quickopen maybe affected of one of the other PlugIns I have installed? I’ve tried many combinations and could not fix the problem.

This are the other installed PlugIns:
- aks_table
- smd_browse_by
- soo_toc
- wet_quicklink

PS. I use quickopen in an other installation (4.2) and it works great. Thank you Robert for this!

Please try wet_quickopen 1.1. It fixes an incompatibility with Firefox.

eritropel · 2013-01-11 11:43:43

Thanks a lot Robert! First try was successfull.

lazlo · 2023-02-25 04:32:10

Robert’s plugin files seem to have 404’d.
Any help finding wet_peex and wet_quickopen?

wet · 2023-02-25 05:23:44

Hi lazlo! Sorry for the linkcruft ;)

Please download wet_quickopen and its helper plugin wet_peex.

wet_quickopen v1.6 is ready for Textpattern 4.9. Due to changes in the core’s admin-side markup, it probably won’t support any prior Textpattern version.

Works fine and fast. One thing you do to improve: add a <label for=""> before the search field. Everyone benefits, and that makes the HTML valid. You can visually hide the label, making it only “visible” to AT tools (screen readers, etc)

<label for="wet_quickopen_search" class="txp-accessibility">Search recent articles</label>
<input id="wet_quickopen_search" type="search" ………>

The .txp-accessibility class does the job of visually hiding the label

Thanks for the report, Phil. This issue has been fixed.

phiw13 · 2025-07-05 05:23:37

Good and nice thank you. This makes a recent articles block much more useful.

I am always amazed at the speed of search in the Textpattern admin side.

Next step, when you have some energy left, perhaps you can make the plugin CSP aware, following the steps Jakob outlined in this thread. (other example, smd_thumbnails).

PS – As this plugin is Textpattern 4.9 only, you don’t need the if{} else{}

Will do, thanks for the pointers.

Phew, lots have happened since I made a living from webdev. lmddgtfm.

DDG search string: MDN CSP (for things web, the MDN prefix followed by $search term always returns the Moz. Developer site for me. Same for Brave search)

good start: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP
