Downloads: TDO Tag Fixes WordPress Plugin (0.5)

hi mark .thanks of course

to fix the (tdof_)the_tags() on is_single() pages, i added this to your tdof_the_tags()


function tdof_the_tags( $before = '', $sep = '', $after = '' ) {
global $tdotf_tag_get_var,$cat;
// mr.snow - we need to get the category another way if !is_category()
if ( ! $cat ) {
$category = get_the_category();
$cat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
}
// if(is_category() && isset($tdotf_tag_get_var)) {
if(isset($cat) && isset($tdotf_tag_get_var)) {

Hi,

You got a really great plugin going here, I was about to code something similar myself when I can across it. I’ve had it working quite nicely and added a few enhancements which can be seen at http://www.easymapinfo.com/wordpress25/category/australia/ (still under dev).

The problem that I was having is when intersecting a category and multiple tags expecting an ‘OR’ join to take place and was getting a ‘AND’ join result. eg …/categoryname/?tdo_tag=tag1,tag2. The plugin correctly modifies the title but the result is definitely a ‘AND’ join.

So I threw a virgin WP install at http://easymapinfo.com/virginwordpress/?cat=3 with only your plugin and it does the same thing.

Thoughts?

I’ve checked the bug list on trac there is one there that is is slightly relevant but not directly to this issue. So I installed a fresh WP 2.3 with a fresh tdotf on http://easymapinfo.com/wordpress23/category/cat1/ and when is use tdo_tag=tag1,tag2 I’m still getting a ‘AND’ join result.

Was thinking it may be as a result of $args->set_query_var('tag_slug__and',$tags); on line 149 of tdotf.php but when I try tag_slug__in I get no results. I think this may have something do to with query.php around line 1126 where WP seems to only handle intersects with tag_slug__and and not ‘in’.

So until I find a solution I think I’m going to modify my changed tdotf to use radio buttons and not checkboxes and limit users to one cat with one tag intersects.

But I am surprised that you had it working with your 2.3 install, was it dependant on any other plugins?

Thanks!

Hi!

I’d love to find out how to emulate the ‘tag surfer’ functionality that wordpress.com users have.

Any ideas? I thought it might be possible to use your plugin and add some php code to change the links associated with the tags that are displayed.

For example, I could change the hyperlink of a tag (e.g. mywebsitestag [+]) so that it will append the tag to the existing url, or I could change the hyperlink (e.g. mywebsitestag [x]) so that on clicking it, it will jump the user to the same url minus the tag selected.

does this make sense?

many thanks

Great work on the fix to the plugin, I was digging through the new code and it really is a clever bit of work with the ‘OR’ joins.

For those interested I’ve finalized my implementation of the plugin over at my site a good url example is http://travel.accommodationsphere.com/earth/south-africa/gauteng-za/ look over at the left for accommodation types which are actually tags using the tdo_tag_fix with a few mods.

Hi !

This plugin is just what I need, but it doesn’t work at all with me.
I have WordPress 2.5.1.

I try to display:
the category: 2008-07-bali
AND
the tag: plongee

with the following url:
http://petitesbullesdailleurs.fr/category/2008-07-bali/?tdo_tag=plongee

but the result is similar to:
http://petitesbullesdailleurs.fr/category/2008-07-bali/

Any idea or suggestion?
Many thanks!!!

Corinne

Ya It seems any query I use will break it.

query_posts($query_string . “&showposts=5″)

If you use query_posts(“showposts=5″)

it breaks the normal wordpress tags so maybe it needs to pass $query_string somewhere in the plugin.

I dont know the first thing about this though.

Thank you for posting this, but I found a new way to do it.

http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5433

It looks like the tag category intersection will be fixed in wordpress soon and for now I can just use &tag=a+a

Thank you – I’ve been brainstorming on this since late, late Friday night – and this seems to do what I needed.

This is how I applied it. At the bottom of single.php, I added this code:

<a href=”http://site/category//?tdo_tag=additional-recommendations”>Additional Recommmendations for

<a href=”http://site/category//?tdo_tag=stories”>Stories for

On my site, each post name has a corresponding, identical category name (that is the only way this would work from what I see). Each category/post name has additional categories that need to be part of each main post/category: additional recommendations, stories…but since intersecting categories doesn’t work in WordPress, changing those “subcategories” to tags and using your plugin made this work. Now, for the 300 post/category combinations, I only needed one piece of code to support the automation of this part. Thanks!

Is there a way to create a custom template page for when people are on an intersect page for a category+tag, i.e

category+tagname.php?

Hi Mark

Problem solved. There was a problem with the tdotf_the_tags when used on category pages. Thanks to the comment by QueenVictoria (#comment-103241) I was able to solve the problem.

In the tdotf.php file, I replaced the code beginning on line 399:

function tdotf_the_tags( $before = ”, $sep = ”, $after = ” ) {
global $tdotf_tag_get_var,$cat;
if(is_category() && isset($tdotf_tag_get_var)) {
$tags = get_the_tags();

with the following:

function tdotf_the_tags( $before = ”, $sep = ”, $after = ” ) {
global $tdotf_tag_get_var,$cat;
if ( ! $cat ) {
$category = get_the_category();
$cat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
}
if(isset($cat) && isset($tdotf_tag_get_var)) {
$tags = get_the_tags();

and this did the trick.

One thing to note is that tdotf_the_tags was misspelled in the original file (as tdof_the_tags). I suppose either spelling would work, but I changed it to tdotf_the_tags for consistency.

-Mark

hello

Bjorn, your code seems to have been stripped out of your comment. Any chance you could try posting it again, but with the replaced with < and >? (it’s the angle brackets and “php” references that get the code stripped out)
