Yogi,

Can you tell me what the 'user pages' are for? I do not quite understand how I can use them.



Thank you for your time.

These are pages for all the registered users (i.e. the users in the Users table).

You could for example make a page where you list: name, number of links, number of reviews. On a user page template, you can use the following additional tags:

link_loop
link_total
llink_toolbar

and analogous for review_.

All user details are accessible as

display_XXX (e.g. display_Username).


Does that make sense?

PageBuilder Plugin - produce PDF In reply to
I have been experimenting a bit with PDF files (thanks to Wil and Paul for hints on useful modules/programs).

It seems that it would be possible to automatically create PDF files (in static or dynamic mode). You could e.g. produce printable detailed pages in pdf format with the PageBuilder plugin.

Unfortunately, all perl modules I was looking at have quite low-level interfaces, and it would therefore be very difficult to use templates for the pdf files. HTMLdoc, which is a free and runs on most Unix/lLinux and Windows OSs, can make nice pdf pages out of html files. The drawback of HTMLdoc is that it is not written in perl, and you would need shell access, and a good compiler to compile HTMLdoc on your webserver. That is of course a potential problem for many users. The plugin will certainly also work without HTMLdoc installed (no pdf files, though).

If people are interested, I can pursue this further.

Hi Yogi,

Thank you.

It means PB_NO_ID is a missing language var.

Add a new laguage var from the control panel with that name and you'll see the error you enter.

Re: [Paul] PageBuilder Plugin - produce PDF In reply to
All in all. I do not know what to do. The script is not returning the pages... I am getting that PB_NO_ID error message and I think I need some "baby talk" type of explanation.

Yogi may need to fix this anyway but following that trail of options above will sort it out.

Okay, I did that. I created a language var for

PB_NO_ID that was left blank and got still got it as an error message

You probably need to add something in the textarea like "No such ID"

Re: [nt6] PageBuilder Plugin - produce PDF In reply to
This is an error message that is displayed when you want to view e.g. a page corresponding to a link but you did not pass in a link ID. You would have to do something like

page.cgi?page=mypage;link=123

The error message says PB_NO_ID because this is still a beta version. I will of course put in real messages once it is released (next week Tuesday?).

Hope this helps.

Re: [katabd] PageBuilder Plugin - produce PDF In reply to
It will basically be a cleaned up version you have.

One small change is that the generated templates will now only be stored in the "local" directory in order to save space.

I will post a full feature list when it is released, in the meantime:
- the plugin allows you to build dynamic and static pages very easily
- you can create pages for every link, category etc
- conditional building: pages only for certain links, categories, etc
- conditional viewing: in dynamic mode, you can control who is allowed to see which page
- build HTML pages, but also PDF or Postscript pages.
- there is also some information at the beginning of this thread

That's it for the moment. I'm doing some final clean up and testing, if no major bugs come up, the plugin willl certainly be released by Tuesday.
