Hi,

I've just released version 1.5.5.

This version now has a New_Image() function, for showing an image, depending on how old the link is.

It based on the Days_Old plugin (which , AFAIK - doesn't work with GLinks at all)

You can download the latest version from our site, here:

http://www.ultranerds.com/...s/ULTRAGlobals_L217/

..or from the "Plugin Download" area, from within your GLinks admin area.

Cheers

Hi Andy:

Great set of globals to by the way - thanks for your efforts.

In relation to the New_Image sub, this doesn't appear to work in conjunction with subcategory.html ....

Also, in relation the some of the other subs, eg. New Listings, Most Popular etc, whilst being able to include these for all categories is very handy, is there some way to also use them for each category eg. if there is a Category of Health and 10 other sub-cats, it will only display the listings eg. new, for the Health Category and the sub-cats...?

I recall something about the use of fatherid or similar .... I recall Ian had something similar in his Toolbox compilation.

All the best,

Clint.

No problem - I know what a mission it is trying to find the globals you want (not so much now - as I just write my own - but for the non-programmers, its a real PITA ;))

Quote:

Ah - thats because its not designed to work with subcategory.html :)

I'll see if I can make a routine to work with that though - shouldn't be hard.

Hi,

I've added the New_Image_Cat() function now in version 1.6 (on the site now);

http://www.ultranerds.com/...s/ULTRAGlobals_L217/

Not sure what you are on about with the other stuff, but let me know, and I'll see what I can do Tongue

Re: [Andy] [ ULTRAGlobals ] Ideas please In reply to

Hi Andy:

Thanks for this - works like a charm.

What I am getting at is rather than showing new listings in ALL categories on any page .... show new listings ONLY in that category and the sub-categories.

eg. In the top category 'Health' using the global it would list the top 5 New Listings ONLY in that category and ALL sub-categories of the main Health category.....

Hope that makes sense.....

Thanks again for the update to ULTRAGlobals.

All the best,

Clint.

Re: [Andy] [ ULTRAGlobals ] Ideas please In reply to

Hi,

I've just released version 1.7.0 Smile

This now includes 2 new functions:

1) Format_Checkbox_Field()
2) Format_Radio_Field()

You can get the latest version from our site: http://www.ultranerds.com/...s/ULTRAGlobals_L217/

These 2 new functions let you vgenerate both "radio" and "checkbox" fields on your "add" and "modify" forms - with the data pre-filled in (i.e automatically selects the right ones)

An example of the checkbox one:

Code:
   <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Format_Checkbox_Field('Field_Name')%> 

   <%loop checkbox_loop%> 
     <input name="<%field_name%>" id="<%value%>" type="checkbox"value="<%value%>" <%if selected%>checked<%endif%> />  
     <label for="<%value%>"><%name%></label> 
   <%endloop%>

There is literally one parameter to pass in (in the first line) - and the rest is done for you :)

Hi,

Whoops, thats a documentation error :)

You need to use:

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::New_Links_By_Category($ID)%>

...not:

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::New_Links_By_Category()%>

I'll get the documentation updated.

Re: [Andy] [ ULTRAGlobals ] Ideas please In reply to

Hi,

I've just uploaded version 1.7.5. This has the Get_Domain_Name() function. Basically, it lets you get the domain name from the <%URL%> field in a link. i.e:

<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Get_Domain_Name($URL,include_prefix,strip_www)%>

The 2 options need to be either 1 (true) or 0 (false)

Example usage for the domain http://www.test.com/foo_bar/index.html

<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Get_Domain_Name($URL,1,1)%>
..would give:
http://www.test.com

<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Get_Domain_Name($URL,1,0)%>
..would give:
http://test.com

<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Get_Domain_Name($URL,0,0)%>
..would give:
www.test.com
The new version is available from our site Smile

Andy:

In respect of New_Links_By_Category it appears to display not only all the new links, but also some others, modified etc. Would it have anything to do with the following section ....?

Code:
   if ($hit->{isNew} eq "Yes")     { $hit->{isNew} = 1;     } else { $hit->{isNew} = 0;     } 
   if ($hit->{isPopular} eq "Yes") { $hit->{isPopular} = 1; } else { $hit->{isPopular} = 0; } 
   if ($hit->{isChanged} eq "Yes") { $hit->{isChanged} = 1; } else { $hit->{isChanged} = 0; }

I'm only guessing here ....

Clint

Hi,

Are you sure its showing stuff other than isNew ? i.e are you just thinking that because its showing "new" "pop" etc next to you links? Could possibly be something to do with your link.html setup if thats the case.

Re: [Matthias70] [ ULTRAGlobals ] Ideas please In reply to

Hi,

Mmm.. very odd.

Seems that this:

Code:
 my $sth = $db_obj->select (['Links.*'], GT::SQL::Condition->new(['CategoryID', 'IN', $all_ids], ['isValidated', '=', 'Yes', 'isNew', '=', 'Yes'] ) ) || die $GT::SQL::error;

is only doing:

Code:
SELECT glinks_Links.* FROM glinks_CatLinks,glinks_Category,glinks_Links WHERE glinks_CatLinks.LinkID = glinks_Links.ID AND glinks_CatLinks.CategoryID = glinks_Category.ID AND (glinks_CatLinks.CategoryID IN (12194,12193,12192) AND glinks_Links.isValidated = \'Yes\') ORDER BY Add_Date DESC Limit 5

...instead of:

Code:
SELECT glinks_Links.* FROM glinks_CatLinks,glinks_Category,glinks_Links WHERE glinks_CatLinks.LinkID = glinks_Links.ID AND glinks_CatLinks.CategoryID = glinks_Category.ID AND ((glinks_CatLinks.CategoryID IN (12194,12193,12192)) AND (glinks_Links.isNew = \'Yes\' AND glinks_Links.isValidated = \'Yes\')) ORDER BY Add_Date DESC Limit 5

The fix is to change this line (in /admin/Plugins/ULTRAGlobals.pm):

Code:
 my $sth = $db_obj->select (['Links.*'], GT::SQL::Condition->new(['CategoryID', 'IN', $all_ids], ['isValidated', '=', 'Yes', 'isNew', '=', 'Yes'] ) ) || die $GT::SQL::error;

..to:

Code:
 my $cond = GT::SQL::Condition->new('CategoryID', 'IN', $all_ids); 
 my $cond2 = GT::SQL::Condition->new('isNew','=','Yes','isValidated','=','Yes'); 
 my $sth = $db_obj->select (['Links.*'], $cond, $cond2 ) || die $GT::SQL::error;

I'll get it fixed up in the main version now.

Cheers

This is a very useful function .... is there any way it can be modified to deal with multi-select values (including checkboxes). I have a couple of fields that I use checkboxes for but the columns can actually contain multiple values....

Hmmm .... seems like the Advanced Editor is broken ...

Hi,

I've just released version 1.8.0. This version includes a new function, which I wrote as a global for Coyu here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=300033#p300033

You can use it like so:

Code:
<%if config.bookmark_enabled%> 
  <%if user.Username%> 
     <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Check_If_Bookmarked($ID)%> 
       <%if isBookmarked%> 
           <%-- already bookmarked , show something here if you want --%> 
       <%else%> 
           <a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/bookmark.cgi?action=link_add;ID=<%ID%>">Bookmark It</a> 
       <%endif%> 
 <%endif%> 
<%endif%>

This new version is available from our site.

Cheers
