Plugin: Entries List

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for reporting typos.

Grab the version 3.0 - I implemented in it ‘&’ operator for “category” parameter.

Wow, excellent. This plugin helped make the very non-standard navigation on this site possible. Thanks for your quick update.

You owe me a Fav on devot-ee.com 😊

Not only favorited, but rated and reviewed as well: Entries List at devot:ee. Thanks again.

Laisvunas,

I’m getting repeated blocks of this PHP error using Entries List:

Notice: Undefined index: cat_name in /home/yourdomain/html/regentsys/plugins/pi.entries_list.php on line 1204

Notice: Undefined index: cat_url_title in /home/yourdomain/html/regentsys/plugins/pi.entries_list.php on line 1205

Notice: Undefined index: cat_name in /home/yourdomain/html/regentsys/plugins/pi.entries_list.php on line 1233

Notice: Undefined index: cat_url_title in /home/yourdomain/html/regentsys/plugins/pi.entries_list.php on line 1234

Any ideas?

Hi Adrienne,

Check if you use the latest version. The latest version is 3.0.

Laisvunas,

Yes, it’s 3.0.

I don’t have a category group assigned to those entries at all, which could be throwing it off. It’s just a NOTICE error, it won’t show to anyone who’s not a superadmin, so it’s not an earthshattering bug. but i thought i’d report it anyway!

Hi Adrienne,

Check version 3.0.1 - in it I added a couple of conditionals which should prevent error notices.

Hi Laisvunas! Thanks for the plugin update… No more PHP notice messages. Woot! 😊

Also, thanks for adding the “status” parameter.

Cheers, Micky

Hi,

I released version 3.4 of Entries List plugin (versions 3.1-3.3 were not released publicly).

New features:

1) “entry_series” optional parameter. Allows you to specify pipe delimited series of entry ids, e.g. entry_series=”78|95|54|22|156”. Entries will be outputted exactly in the same order. You also can specify up to 50 pipe delimited series of entry ids using parameters entry_series_1, entry_series_2, entry_series_3 … entry_series_48, entry_series_49, entry_series_50.

2) parameter “sort_separately” accepts value “entry_series”.

3) In case “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series” then parameter “count_start_on” accepts as a value pipe delimited entry series names, e.g. count_start_on=”entry_series_5|entry_series_6|entry_series_7”. In this case counting of entry series will start when the plugin will output entry posted into any of those entry series.

4) In case “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series” then parameter “count_stop_before” accepts as a value pipe delimited entry series names, e.g. count_stop_before=”entry_series_10|entry_series_11|entry_series_12”. In this case counting of entry series will stop just before the plugin will output entry posted into any of those entry series.

5) variable {entries_list_entry_series_count} - outputs count number (1, 2, 3 etc.) of the entry series whose entry is being displayed. Entry series are counted when parameter “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series”. Only non-empty entry series are counted.

6) variable {next_entry_entry_series_count} - outputs count number (1, 2, 3 etc.) of the entry_series to which next entry belongs. Entry series are counted when parameter “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series”. Only non-empty entry series are counted.

7) variable {previous_entry_entry_series_count} - outputs count number (1, 2, 3 etc.) of the entry_series to which previous entry belongs. Entry series are counted when parameter “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series”. Only non-empty entry series are counted.

8) variable {entries_list_entry_series_count_total} - outputs total number of entry series counted. Entry series are counted when parameter “sort_separately” has the value “entry_series”. Only non-empty entry series are counted.

A simple example of the usage of new features:

{exp:entries_list entry_series="15|45|19|89|75|69|12|78|41" date_format="%Y-%m-%d %h-%i %A" site="1"}
<a href="http://{weblog_url}{url_title}/">{title}</a>, weblog_name: {weblog_name}, entries_list_entry_date: {entries_list_entry_date}, entries_list_entry_date2: {entries_list_entry_date date_format="%Y-%m-%d"}, entry_date: {entry_date}, entry_date3: {entry_date date_format="%Y-%m-%d"}, entry_id: {entry_id}, previous_entry_id: {previous_entry_id}, previous_entry_title: {previous_entry_title}, previous_entry_url_title: {previous_entry_url_title}, previous_entry_weblog_url: {previous_entry_weblog_url}, previous_entry_weblog_name: {previous_entry_weblog_name}, previous_entry_weblog_shortname: {previous_entry_weblog_shortname}, next_entry_id: {next_entry_id}, next_entry_title: {next_entry_title}, next_entry_url_title: {next_entry_url_title}, next_entry_weblog_url: {next_entry_weblog_url}, next_entry_weblog_name: {next_entry_weblog_name}, next_entry_weblog_shortname: {next_entry_weblog_shortname}


{/exp:entries_list}

A more complicated example of the usage of new features; {exp:entries_list} tag is used here together with {exp:seeries} tag of Seeries module:

{exp:seeries name_1="aaa" name_2="bbb" name_3="ccc" name_4="ddd" name_5="eee" name_6="fff" name_7="ggg" name_8="hhh" name_9="iii" name_10="kkk" name_11="lll" name_12="mmm"}
{exp:entries_list entry_series_1="{seeries_1}" entry_series_2="{seeries_2}" entry_series_3="{seeries_3}" entry_series_4="{seeries_4}" entry_series_5="{seeries_5}" entry_series_6="{seeries_6}" entry_series_7="{seeries_7}" entry_series_8="{seeries_8}" entry_series_9="{seeries_9}" entry_series_10="{seeries_10}" entry_series_11="{seeries_11}" entry_series_12="{seeries_12}" sort_separately="entry_series" count_start_on="entry_series_6|entry_series_7|entry_series_8|entry_series_9|entry_series_10" count_stop_before="entry_series_11|entry_series_12" date_format="%Y-%m-%d %h-%i %A" site="1" on_failure="tagdata" invalid_input="alert"}
<a href="http://{weblog_url}{url_title}/">{title}</a>, 

weblog_name: {weblog_name}, 

entries_list_entry_date2: {entries_list_entry_date date_format="%Y-%m-%d"},

entry_date3: {entry_date date_format="%Y-%m-%d"},

Hi:

Thanks for a great set of plugins! I am trying to use this plugin to customize my previous and next navigation links but not sure how to do it. I have created a weblog to hold entries for client content - so each client entry is assigned a specific category and author name. I am trying to design the previous and next nav to show only posts for each client ( when the client logs into their page). currently, it shows entries for ALL clients even on a page for a logged in client. how can i modify the code below to show only client specific entries?

{exp:weblog:prev_entry weblog="{my_weblog}"}
                    <span class="preventry"><a href="http://{path={my_template_group}/article}">{title}</a></span>
                    {/exp:weblog:prev_entry}   |  

                    {exp:weblog:next_entry weblog="{my_weblog}"}
                    <span class="nextentry"><a href="http://{path={my_template_group}/article}">{title}</a></span> 
                    {/exp:weblog:next_entry}

To do previous/next linking using Entries List plugin you should use the code as this:

{exp:entries_list category="6" weblog="my_weblog" entry_id="2" sort="asc" site="1"}
<a href="http://{weblog_url}{url_title}/">{title}</a>, entry_id: {entry_id}, previous_entry_id: {previous_entry_id}, previous_entry_title: {previous_entry_title}, previous_entry_url_title: {previous_entry_url_title}, previous_entry_weblog_url: {previous_entry_weblog_url}, next_entry_id: {next_entry_id}, next_entry_title: {next_entry_title}, next_entry_url_title: {next_entry_url_title}, next_entry_weblog_url: {next_entry_weblog_url}


{/exp:entries_list}

To do previous/next linking using Entries List plugin you should use the code as this:

{exp:entries_list category="6" weblog="my_weblog" entry_id="2" sort="asc" site="1"}
<a href="http://{weblog_url}{url_title}/">{title}</a>, entry_id: {entry_id}, previous_entry_id: {previous_entry_id}, previous_entry_title: {previous_entry_title}, previous_entry_url_title: {previous_entry_url_title}, previous_entry_weblog_url: {previous_entry_weblog_url}, next_entry_id: {next_entry_id}, next_entry_title: {next_entry_title}, next_entry_url_title: {next_entry_url_title}, next_entry_weblog_url: {next_entry_weblog_url}


{/exp:entries_list}

OK - i am sure I am missing something here.. i copied the code above and only changed the category number to the clients category - nothing. I get a print out of the raw code - no links. Am i supposed to embed this in another tag?

And also, I am trying to show the pagination links for each client - this this method limit the entries to each client category? I am sure i need to dynamically assign the category to do that. What does the entry_id=2 do?
