Selected Items module

Hi all,

I released Seeries module which was inspired by Selected Items module. It has the same purpose - to allow multiple custom ordering of entries.

Except the purpose everything else is different:

1) Seeries module has completely different interface; it supports pagination in all relevant places of the module’s interface;

2) it allows to assign to members the right to edit particular entry series (further “seeries”); members can see only those seeries they are permitted to;

3) it allows do define seeries more flexibly;

4) it has option allowing seeries to be updated automatically;

5) it uses more efficient ‘weblog_entries_query_result’ hook.

Possibly a (very) silly question…

Is it possible to list the ‘selections’ from the Module screen as an archive?

I am currently using this to pick multiple items to generate a newsletter. Currently it uses a single ‘newsletter’ template and it populated by the exp:selecteditems tags. I’d like to be able to show old newsletters without using multiple templates and linking to them manually (eg. November 2009, December 2009…).

I presume this is possible, but I couldn’t find the documentation.

I presuming - since Laisvunas mentions his new Seeries module alterntiave supports pagination - that pagination doesn’t work with the Selected Modules extension?

I couldn’t get this pagination to work with it

                {exp:weblog:next_entry weblog="{my_weblog}" status="Published"}<span class="nextPage"> <a href="http://{path=complex_flute/index}" title="Next page">{next_entry->title}</a></span>
                {/exp:weblog:next_entry} 
                {exp:weblog:prev_entry weblog="{my_weblog}" status="Published"}
                <span class="previousPage"><a href="http://{path=complex_flute/index}" title="Previous page">{prev_entry->title}</a></span>
                {/exp:weblog:prev_entry}  
                

(I know the code is implemented correctly because ordering is right if I show all entries on one page.)

Okay a few points for various peep about this module…

Andrew - the extension in version 1.4 still reads “1.3” (module reads correct number). It would also be really useful if, as Kevin Evans mentioned too, the Documentation link went directly to your product page for it.

rick.prince - if you want the {title} of the next/previous entries then check out Adrienne L. Travis’s note in the Docs about how you can get it using

{next_entry->title}

.

Kevin Evans -

hello I am trying to get this to work with latest version but when I hot Get entries on a weblog i want, no entries load.

This was happening to me after I upgraded from version 1.6.4 to 1.6.8 and I found that I hadn’t enabled the jquery extension, with this enabled it worked.

Me - In response to my own earlier post about getting pagination to work by linking through to the pages in the ‘Selected’ order, I’ve since noticed that according to the documentation for the next/previous links they only take you between entries according to their date, so they won’t work with this module unless someone does some clever stuff to it.
