Yeah, that’s beyond the abilities of the stw_category_tree plug-in. You’re going to need a plug-in that handles article output. I use chh_article_custom, though I don’t know if it supports what you want to do.

I’m not sure what you mean by category titles. Which column in the DB table are you referring to? (I’m only on release g1.19, so if this is more recent improvement to the system, please let me know.)

Yes, this is a new TXP feature. The database has been expanded so that every category and section, apart from its name, has also a user-friendly “title”. Currently, the TXP core cannot make use of these extra fields, but the upm_section_title, upm_category_title and my own etz_crumbs plugin can take advantage of them.

This is very useful for internationalization, especially in languages that use their own alphabet (non-ASCII). See a demonstration of etz_crumbs, where in the breadcrumbs menu the category and section names are translated to Greek, thus avoiding the use of Greek characters in the URLs.

Gotcha. I’ll look into it.

Try editing the plugin by replacing the function stw_cat_link with this:

<code>
function stw_cat_link ($cat,$sec) { global $pfr,$url_mode; $path = $pfr.”?”;

if (!empty($sec) && $sec != ‘default’) $path = ($url_mode==1) ? $pfr.$sec.”/” : $path.“s=”.$sec.”&”; return tag($cat,‘a’,’ href=”’.$path.urlencode($cat).’”’);
}
</code>

I’m not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but it appears to be working for me.

Any news on using category titles instead of names

tinyfly · 2005-05-25 21:11:18

I have txp installed in a subdirectory called main

so its:
http://cepa/main/

When I use section=“links” on your plugin clicking a category link should take me to:
http://cepa/main/links/?c=whatever-category

Instead it takes me to:
http://cepa/links/?c=whatever-category notice the missing /main/

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Update: If I add section=“main/links” it works but main isn’t a section it is the install path of txp so it should be unnecesary.

There you go: admin >> plugins >> stw_category_tree >> edit

and replace:

<pre>return tag($cat,’a’,’ href=

Thanks Etz! That was driving me nuts (and preventing an upgrade from rev326 for a site).

tinyfly · 2005-05-26 02:08:09

Thanks Etz, does this also work for link categories?

I guess I should try it huh?

soulship · 2005-05-26 02:25:11

You can actually use rss_superarchive very nicely for palin ol’ cat links with section pruning . Look at this thread

Why is the upm_category_title plugin needed if all categories have titles anyway?

tinyfly · 2005-05-26 13:08:01

Etz,

You are awesome, it worked perfectly. Now one more request. Can you get mem_glinklist to output category titles instead of names, as well?

tinyfly · 2005-05-27 20:16:22

I am having a problem with outputing the count number. It always shows (0) as the count no matter how many links I have. Here is how I am using the tag:

Would it have anything to do with being of the “link” type?

Also, a feature request. 1.) I would like is to be able to only list categories that have content in them. 2.)I would like to be able to have the count show the number of the content in the category and all sub-categories. (for link categories in this instance)

Thanks for all your help. I love this plugin and I would be lost without it.

Update: the problem with the count is with the type being set to something other than “article” it can be fixed with my hack, replace the last function “stw_get_live_count” with the following code:

<pre><code>
function stw_get_live_count ($cat) { if ($type=“link”) { $q = safe_count(“txp_link”,“category=’”.$cat.”’”); } else if ($type=“image”) { $q = safe_count(“txp_image”,“category=’”.$cat.”’”); } else { $q = safe_count(“textpattern”,”(category1=’”.$cat.”’ OR category2=’”.$cat.”’) AND status=‘4’”); } return $q;
}
</code></pre>

I believe I have also found a bug: While using sort=”*” everything works fine if I am in a category but if I am on my section list page /links/ with no category instead of just showing all the categories in a list I recieve the following error and no categories show up at all.

<code>Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\dev\sites\cepa\public_html\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 209</code>

I don’t know how to fix it.

I would like it if the count could also include all links/articles/images in subcategories as well. Is this possible?

(bump) Any chance on getting the top level categories to show the count for links in subcategories and showing only the categories which have content in them. Right now it will show all categories no matter if they have content or not.
