Just Rated- thank you

Check out this sandbox i am playing in:
https://hailpern.net/wordpressTest/page-number-2/page-2-a/
The link to “My Resume” in the sidebar widget, which is a pdf, does’t get an icon, but the identical link in the body does.

Hi Praveen,

Very nice! If i can make one more request – can you extend where you are looking for file types to things in the sidebar in addition to the body of the page? I have widgets that list links to files too.

If anyone cares, I found a plugin that fixes just this:

Hello Moramora9 or MichaelH,

I am having the same problem. How did you fix this? Where did you put that query_posts line in?

You are right, I was using the same structure as I was using for the rest of my site. Now when I use /foo/[permalink i wanted] it works.

Thanks!

Though i think it takes a while for all the links to get re-established.

Can you please take a look at this bug.

(and i have to disable/renable the custom post type plugin I am using)

PS. When I disable your plugin, go BACK to Settings->Permalink, reload it, then re-save it, all my old links then work. Clearly, something is not working correctly when you save the settings on the permalinks settings page.

Oh yes – your idea works much better – I just wanted something i could code up quickly; clearly your solution would be more elegant.

I can write you offline about my use case so not to clutter the forms

Hey – so i hacked your code – feel free to use it. Basically I created a new term you can add to get the first term from a custom taxonomy. There is the skeleton to make it do more, but you can at least get 1 term and make it the path.

add this after line 106
$customdir = (strpos($customdir, '%post_taxonomy_%') !== false)? cud_find_and_replace_taxonomies($post_id,$customdir): $customdir;

and then after the function cud_get_categories_name, add

#/--------------- HACK - START ----------------------------\

function cud_find_and_replace_taxonomies($post_id,$customdir){
	//$prefix = "%post_taxonomy_%";
	//$postfix = "%_post_taxonomy%";
	//str_replace($prefix.$postfix,"josh-test01", $customdir);
	return cud_find_and_replace_taxonomies_helper($post_id,$customdir);
}

function cud_find_and_replace_taxonomies_helper($post_id,$customdir){
	$prefix = "%post_taxonomy_%";
	$postfix = "%_post_taxonomy%";

	$prefix_length = strlen($prefix);
	$postfix_length = strlen($postfix);

	$prefix_index = strpos($customdir,$prefix);
	$postfix_index = strpos($customdir,$postfix);

	if(($prefix_index !== false) && ($postfix_index !== false)){
		$str_left = substr($customdir,0,$prefix_index);

		$postfix_ending_index = $postfix_index+$postfix_length;
		$str_right_length = strlen($customdir)-$postfix_ending_index;
		$str_right = substr($customdir,$postfix_ending_index,$str_right_length);

		$prefix_ending_index = $prefix_index+$prefix_length;

		$taxonomyName = substr($customdir,$prefix_index+$prefix_length,$postfix_index-$prefix_ending_index);

		return cud_find_and_replace_taxonomies_helper($post_id,$str_left.cud_get_taxonomy($post_id,$taxonomyName).$str_right);
	}
	/*
		clear all unused with placeholders
	*/
	else{
		return str_replace($prefix,"-cud-pr-", str_replace($postfix,"-cud-po-", $customdir));
	}

}

function cud_get_taxonomy($post_id,$taxonomyName){
	return cud_get_taxonomies($post_id,$taxonomyName,1);
}

function cud_get_taxonomies($post_id,$taxonomyName,$count){
	$terms_array = get_the_terms($post_id,$taxonomyName);

	if(is_array($terms_array)){
		$terms = array();

		if($count == -1){
			foreach($terms_array as $term_object){
				$terms[] = $term_object->slug;
			}
		}else{
			for ( $counter = 0; $counter < count($terms_array) && $counter < $count; $counter += 1) {
				$terms[] = $terms_array[$counter]->slug;
			}
		}
		return implode('-', $terms);
	}else{
		return "_".$taxonomyName;
	}
}

#\--------------- HACK - END   ----------------------------/

Then in cud_option_page, add the following to $placeholder
'post_taxonomy_%%_post_taxonomy' => __('The post\'s first term in the specified taxonomy. Place taxonomy name between the two delimiters', 'cud'),

Enjoy
Please contact me if you want the php file.

Ah I see… I finished writing a nice plugin last night that added some new shortcode calls – which might be a way to go with this.

Can I add shortcode to some type of widget? Basically, a blank widget to whom, short code can just be written?

I am sorry – this is my first time using wordpress (my old website that i am updating was a drupal CMS).

Can only “widgets” exist in the side bars?

Oh wait – your widget isn’t showing what terms are related to the current page, but overal, what terms exist in a taxonomy!

Oh my.

Do you know of a widget that will show what terms ARE on a current page?

Hello Michael,

Yes. So as I am building and testing different plugins, widgets, etc. I have thrown this playground together:
https://hailpern.net/wordpressTest/?p=53
Along the right column, I have your Taxonomy widget using both Categories and another one using Post Tags. As you can see, there are no Post Tags, Yet, the grouping Pos Tags still exists and explicitly states “No categories”
