Contributed Plugins page on Madebyfrog

I have just (30.06.2009) re-arranged the contributed plugins page on the MadeByFrog site. Could I ask all plugin devs to check your information from time to time, and email any link/info/etc. changes to madebyfrog at gmail dot com. Other suggestions for improvements are also welcome. Thanks!

Also, a huge “thankyou” in any case to everyone contributing plugins for Frog. I realize that this is sometimes self-interested :) but by sharing your work, you make the world a happier place!

Comment Plugin Admin Error

I’m running on apache 2.0.63, PHP 5.2.8 and mysql 4.1.22.

This is another one that I am unable to replicate, but it is interesting to see this environment.

Could others who have experienced this problem post here the version of mySQL being used? Thanks!

Trying to get root ancestor page on level 1

And just now connecting this up from something similar by Andy (for slug).

Current Page

Andy, that’s pure genius. I guess it could be even a bit more compact (as if it mattered) with:

list($parent) = split('/', $this->url); 
echo $parent;

This ought to go into the docs!!

Link to another page in a drop down menu from another drop down list item

I intially thought about header location using php but this wouldnt work because its already passed the html tag.

Not if you set the Layout for the “dummy” page to -none- … maybe?

WYMeditor plugin

… I just thought it might be a nice addition to Frog.

And I am so glad you did, M! :)

I hope to try it out this evening.

Display sidebar only if children + only display level 1 children

That means the conditions are failing for some reason.

Yes, and this was the failing code:

... && $this->level > 0)

Oddly enough, this works fine in 0.9.4 (where I had tested the menu code on a localhost install). It turns out that in 0.9.5, the format for this must be:

... && $this->level() > 0)

with the ‘()’ parentheses following “level”, otherwise it fails to report a value. Very strange. Something must have changed! But something to be aware of when using $this->level() in 0.9.5!

Trying to get root ancestor page on level 1

This is quite nifty, avagraphique! Thanks!

Can see uses for this…

Display sidebar only if children + only display level 1 children

It is possible that this will do the job for you. It’s a mashup of some find-level-1-pages code, and the sidemenu code that crusnac was just looking for:

<?php foreach($this->find('/')->children() as $topPage): ?>
<?php if (in_array($topPage->slug, explode('/', $this->url))) { $thisPage = $topPage->slug; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<ul>
<?php
   if (count($this->find($thisPage)->children()) > 0 && $this->level > 0) {
     foreach($this->find($thisPage)->children() as $menu): ?>
       <li<?php echo (url_start_with($menu->url)) ? ' class="current"': null; ?>><?php echo $menu->link(); ?></li>
     <?php endforeach;
   }
?>
</ul>

It’s a bit of a mess :) but I guess the thing to do is put it in a snippet, then call the snippet in the layout (it needs to be in the layout to work). It gives you a class="current" on the <li> tag when you’re anywhwere in the tree belonging to “Apples”, for example. (You’ll see what I mean!)

Hope that helps.

[Sticky] Live sites running Frog CMS

@Adaron – nice sites! I’m always intrigued by the multi-lingual ones, and I see that the “Amici di Porto Pollo” one is It-En-De (almost!). What technique did you use to manage the languages?

Retrieve Archive Year from URL

Hi Davide —

It would be a BIG help to see the code you are using on your archiveByYear page.

I assume, from your example, that you want to get the “2009” (last four digits) of the URL. You can get that page’s year by using something like this:

echo $archive->date('%Y');

but we don’t know what variables you’re using. Does that help at all?

P.S. – You can get the INTERnet/sito_v5/it/il-gruppo/redazionali/2009 elements of your example URL by using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] (FWIW)!

Sidebar or Submenu Navigation

Ack! I’m an idiot! :) Of course that code is wrong. I THINK ;) this should work:

<?php
   if (count($this->children()) > 0) {
     foreach($this->children() as $menu):
       echo '<li>'.$menu->link($menu->title, ((url_start_with($menu->url)) ? ' class="current"': null)).'</li>';
     endforeach;
   }
?>

Let us know!
