glx_if doesn't work in latest rev (406)
I found that with the latest revision the glx_if plugin — well, I’m only certain about the glx_if_comment_count part of it — doesn’t work anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

I’m only using glx_if_frontpage and glx_if_category_list, both seem to work in rev 406.

I’m using glx_if_category_list as well and all seems fine at r416.

Hi :)
I cannot get glf_if to work in 4.0.1 r895 either.
It creates an error message as follows:
Notice: unserialize(): Argument is not a string in /home/accountname/public_html/path/textpattern/include/txp_plugin.php on line 152
The same error applies for two other plugins as well:
1. ob1_title_2.2
2. zem_contact-0.6
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this problem.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

I am using glx_if in a site using version 4.0 with no problems… haven’t upgraded it to 4.01 – may be I’ll hold off a while

[UPDATE]
I have updated one of my sites to 4.0.1 r888 and glx_if generates errors and doesn’t work.
I only tested two of the glx_if tags (the <code>glx_if_section_frontpage</code> and <code>glx_if_not_section_frontpage</code> tags) and both generate errors complaining of a missing variable in an eval statement similar to this:
<code>Warning: Missing argument 2 for glx_if_section_frontpage() in /home/usr/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(429) : eval()’d code on line 15</code>
They also displayed conditional content regardless of if the conditions were met…

I don’t know if the glx_if plug-in actually works now as I no longer use it but I should point out that a “notice” is not an “error”. You should have your site status in preferences set to “Live” which will remove these notices for the other plug-ins which I do use and are working fine for me at r908.

I agree about turning the warnings off – I can only get the ‘warning’ I posted before with diagnostics turned on.
But regaardless – the plugin doesn’t work (as I mentioned in the last part of the post) The conditional tag displayed the content within regardless of whether the conditions were met – so somethings going wrong :)

Hi Stuart :)

My production status is already set to ‘Live’ but I continually receive that notice [as listed above] when trying to install these three plugins.
I am using these as suggested by you in your ported Gentle Calm theme.
Thank you for making it available :)

You can do it using generic textpattern tags…
<code><txp:if_section> …your content here…<txp:else />…default option… </txp:if_section></code>

creativesplash – the <code>glx_if</code> tags allow you to do a whole lot more than simple section conditionals. I have found this plugin to be priceless. here’s the entry at textpattern.org

I believe Osei has moved on to other projects and is too busy to keep his plug-ins updated now. I know a couple of them have been “adopted” but I don’t think this is one of them so if anyone with some coding experience wants to take it on……
