Hi Andy:

Doesn't seem to. I'll try it again, but when a user tries to Modify a listing it doesn't populate the checkboxes (works fine in add.cgi).

Regards,

Clint

Hi,

Ok, think I've nailed the problem.

Give version 1.8.1 a go, available from our site.

Hi Andy:

You sure have!

Works like a charm. This is really handy when you add new values to a column .... don't have to update all the pages ...

Thanks...

Yeah, originally I wrote part of the code for my SuggestChanges plugin - but decided to make it into a global, as I needed to use it on my include_form.html - and get peeved off with having to update loads of SELECT and CHECKBOX fields =)

There were a coupe of globals around that used GT::SQL::HTML to format these fields, but I was never happy with the output (they didn't let you assign a class, or really have much control over the output).

Anyway - glad its working now <G>

Hi,

I've just released version 1.8.2, which has a new function in:

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Load_Reviews_Advanced(LIMIT,CAT_ID)%>

This lets you either get the 10 latest version from the whole of your site; or if a CAT_ID is specified - it will only get reviews from the category you passed in, and any of its sub-categories.

The new version is available from our site:

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

Enjoy =)

Hi,

Heres version 1.4 <G> (getting through the version numbers - think I may have to start using stuff like 1.4.1, 1.4.2, etc Blush

This version has the following added to it:

Latest_New_Links()

Cheers

Have problem with this global. When they are displayed they are all have "new, updated, popular" icons besides them.

Also, I have detailed page on but this global doesn't recognize it.

Second thing, this global make problem when using with Count_impression because it uses link.html template so whenever you use this global, every link you displayed have Count_impression increased.

Hi,

Version 1.1 is attached now :)

This includes 4 more globals:

1) Load_Category_Dropdown() - create a SELECT box of your categories, indented - and with option of showing Number_of_Links too.
2) Last_Searched_Words() - global for loading the most recent searched queries (based on the built in searchlogger table)
3) Top_Search_Words() - global for loading the top search queries (based on the built in searchlogger table)
4) NL_2_BR() - converts new line breaks into <br /> tags, for formatting in HTML.

All of these are documented in the "Readme" section too - so should make more sense once you read that :)

Cheers

Only suggestion. Use escape_html when displaying <%sloq_query%> from Last_Searched_Words or Top_Search_Words. It can be really nasty if some wannabe hacker find your site ;)

I've fixed that up - will put up the new version in a minute :)

You need to tell Count_Impressions that you don't want to count. You can do this with something like:

Code:
   <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Latest_New_Links(5)%> 
   <%if Latest_Links_Loop.length%> 
      <%loop Latest_Links_Loop%> 
        <%set dont_increase_count = 1%>
         <%include link.html%> 
      <%endloop%> 
 <%endif%>

Then, in link.html ... where you have:

Code:
<%Plugins::Count_Impressions::Count($ID)%>

..change it to:

Code:
<%if dont_increase_count < 1%> 
  <%Plugins::Count_Impressions::Count($ID)%> 
<%endif%>

That should do the trick =)

Good point - I've updated those template calls to:

<li><a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/search.cgi?query=<%url_encode($slog_query)%>"><%escape_html($slog_query)%></a></li>

Cos ideally the URL should also be encoded :)

I've just uploaded version 1.8.5, which includes the bug fix of the Lastest_New_Links() function Smile

I don't think url_encode is valide code (Got error Error: Variable 'url_encode' is not a code reference).

Also, this doesn't work <%escape_html($slog_query)%>. I'm using <%escape_html slog_query%>

Thanks for the heads up. I've added that fix to the new version (1.9.0).

You can get this from:

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

This new version also now includes:

See_If_User_Has_Reviews

Called with:

Code:
  <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::See_If_User_Has_Reviews($LinkOwner)%> 
    <%if review_count_num > 0%> 
       <a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/review.cgi?username=<%LinkOwner%>">Reviews</a> 
    <%endif%>

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

Hi,

Seeing as I was working on this plugin, I thought I'd add another function <G>

Version 2.0 is now available from our site.

This has a new function Edit_Title_Full_Name

What this is aimed at, is making your title read better for both users, and search engines.

Heres my favorite example:

Code:
 <%if CatDepth < 1%> 
  <%Name%> 
 <%else%> 
  <%Name%> - <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Edit_Title_Full_Name($Full_Name,'reverse','&gt;','1')%> 
 <%endif%>

This would change:

Quote:

Computers/Internet/Buying

..to:

Quote:

Buying - Internet > Computers

The clever bit, is that if you are only in "Computers" (i.e 1 level deep), it would just show:

Quote:

Computers

.. and not run the plugin, otherwise it would come out like

Quote:

Computers -

..which looks rubbish =)

Anyway, Enjoy =) Its explained in a lot more detail on the Plugin Readme.
