Semiologic Plugin Category question

  • I’m using the Semiologic pluggin and for the most part, love it, but I am having trouble with the categories showing up in the side bar (it always shows “no categories”). I think this is because I have my categories heirarchically organized, with the higher level categories used more as organizing buckets for the sub-categories (such as “Decade”>”Movies from 1990 – 1999″). In any event, I have ditched the category part of Semiologic for the front page sidebar, and instead have used static pages with the phpExec pluggin to detail my posts within the sub-categories (this works fine).

    But now I need to do something for the individual category page (when someone clicks on a category tag at the bottom of an entry). I found a solution I want to implement here that allows the sidebar to show all the other posts in that category, but it seems to require the single.php file, which Semiologic doesn’t have. I’m not a coder by trade, so I can’t figure out the right place to put this.

    My question: Does anyone know where I would stick this code in the semiologic files for it to work? What is the equivalent of the single.php in Semiologic?

    Thanks in advance.

  • the “Decade” > “Movies from 1990 – 1999” issue is not a semiologic bug, it’s a wordpress bug that occurs when a category’s parent has no post. I filed it ages ago, but the devs have better things to do than releasing software that works.

    you can create a copy of the index.php and rename it to single.php. it’ll work fine. in it, after the call to the_posts(), you can add any code you want.

    Hi Denis. Thank you very much for responding, and for your most excellent plugin! Let me try this and see how it works.

    I′ve installed the Polyglot plugin and it works fine. But I could not call it from inside of my posts. Therefore, it won′t show up that little language flags if a post is called from within category listing. I use the Semiologic 2 col theme. In this example https://www.texxtus.net/wd_press/archives/71 it can be seen. (home is https://www.texxtus.net)

    Question: where do I put the code to call the plugin? I put it into index.php, just before the the_posts() call.

    Got it!
    Just included code into sem-theme-posts.php
    Anyway, thanks a lot!
