Sidebar Calendar Problems

[graden]

Can anyone help me figure out why the "Travelogue Index" sidebar won't work correctly? I am using the "Date List" plugin for this sidebar item.

Here is the site:
http://www.2upon2wheels.com/serendipity/

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Well, I can say this much: the entries are creating a link like
<your site>/serendipity/index.php?/archives/20050826.html, which doesn't work, while
<your site>/serendipity/index.php?/archives/2005/08/26.html works fine.

Of course, I also can't find the Date List plugin, so you'll need more help than this. (I must say, it looks cool, though.)

We don't have that plugin in our repository, where is it from? The permalinks used there are not compatible with recent serendipity versions...

Here is the plugin download link:
http://www.risingdawn.org/plugins/seren ... telist.zip

This plugin was actually found toward the bottom of this page:
http://s9y.org/29.html

Perhaps I could modify this plugin to make it Serendipity v0.9-compatible? I'm going to poke around and do my best, but any help is appreciated.

Sadly the code looks a bit unstructured to me. But I can tell you this:

Code: Select all

if ($ver == 8)

those checks make the problem, because they would only work in serendipity 0.8 and not 0.9.

One would need to modify all the version checks to not only check the minor version, but check if version > 0.8. Because in the future, serendipity 1.0 will be out, and "0" would be smaller than "8".

I don't intend on upgrading the Serendipity install on this site. All I need is to make it work with v.9. I could open this up and poke around, but honestly, I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Can anyone tell me what needs to be changed?

[judebert]

Basically, the thing thinks it's working on 0.7 because it checked for 0.8 and couldn't find it. All that needs to be done is to remove all the checking and all the 0.7 code, and everything should work fine.

Heck, let's try it.

Yup, works for me. I tried it on my website. The easiest thing to do is switch the sense of the comparison. Go to line 175; switch it from if (preg_match("/^0.8" to if(!preg_match("/^0.7" -- note the exclamation point before the preg_match, which means "not".

Of course, this is not a complete or completely tested fix. Basically I changed from asking if the s9y version is 0.8 to asking if it wasn't 0.7. The 0.8 code in this plugin works for 0.8 and above, so far, so it proceeds to work as expected.

[garvinhicking]

Judebert's fix looks solid and should get the thing working!

It seems that the version checks aren't affecting me as much as the link format as pointed out by judebert. I've made the changes to the version checks as suggested, but it's still returning paths that apparently don't work with Serendipity 0.9.

I tried to modify the code to make it work, but like I said before I don't know what I'm doing. Can anyone help me? Maybe I'm doing this incorrectly, anyway.

Try this plugin:

Code: Select all

Yes! This worked great. Thank you very much for all of your help, everybody. I only had to change a couple of things (list order, and delete "Recent" link per client request). One of these days I'll learn PHP code for myself instead of just coasting through it...

The final product is seen here.
