Pages Bug Thread

glad to hear it Gabriel

Mark, could you navigate me, how to create an entry’s permalink? I’m trying various things, but without any elegant solution. Is it using elements only way?

BTW: this mod completely changed my point of view on EE flexibility. It’s most useful EE mod/plug I’ve ever found. Honestly, great work!

we’ll if your page is About » Client Work then the url would simply be about/client_work. There’s no need for it to be generated. Where/how are you trying to generate these links?

Mark, don’t care about my blindness. I’m discovered url_title tag 😊

Mark, here is the real problem, which I need resolve. I want using a special characters in the category names. Because my web will be in Slovak language, I want to have category e.g. “Tiráž”. Your Pages module convert special slovak characters á, ž and create friendly URL: /tir/. But, of course, I want to get url /tiraz/. It means, I need to convert á like a and ž like z etc.

How to modify your Pages module and convert approx. 10 special characters to URL friendly shape?

Iam trying put:

$category['cat_description'] = iconv("utf-8", "us-ascii//TRANSLIT", $category['cat_name']);

before part:

$category['cat_description'] = strtolower(
                                                preg_replace(
                                                    array("/(?:^[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]+|[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$)/", "/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]+/"),
                                    array("", "-"),
                                    $category['cat_name']
                           )
                     );

But it doesn’t work.

Hi Gabriel,

Take a look in the comment here: http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php

In the comments a user has provided a function, win2ascii(), which looks like it will solve your problem.

If you include that function (perhaps in path.php) then you can modify the Pages module like so:

$category['cat_description'] = win2ascii($category['cat_description']);

And it should produce the result you’re after.

Sorry to repost, but still wondering if it’s possible to check the status before displaying items in the static_page_path output?

Currently, changing the status of a ‘section’ to closed does not remove it from my menu (the page itself is disabled, yet it still appears in my menu).

Any ideas?

Unfortunately in the current version this is not possible. You may be able to do it with PHP and parsing set to output, but even that would take a quite a bit of coding and a large hit to server resources.

Ok, was worth asking. Thanks again, Mark.

Mark, as always your work is working quite well. One question though, how do I change the separator? It seems maybe that _ is hard coded? because it isn’t obeying my setting of using - as the default. How can I go about changing it to use - as the separator?

@james - I would recommend using the new to EE 1.6 Pages module over the newly renamed Tome module. There you can define whatever separator you need.

oh ok. unfortunately us mortals have not received 1.6 yet. Hopefully it will be here soon.

It’s been available for download for a few hours now. Go get it while it’s fresh.

Indeed, it’s certainly worth upgrading to!
