show entries in sidebar - link to full entry text?

Hi,
just installed this very helpful plugin "
show entries in sidebar".
>> The Site:
http://www.trendquest.de
But I miss an important feature:
Just would like to
show the first lines and then
LINK to the full entry in the main-content.
A link at the bottom of the sidebar-entries-text is missing.
Tried to include this link by comparing some other plugin-codes that have links, but I am not a that good php-coder.
Has anyone already coded this additional feature?
Or: What do I have to add to the code to get this feature?
Thank you for your help!
Matthias

Hi!
Since the output of that plugin is smartified, you can just edit the plugin_showentries.tpl file.
Change it from this:
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$entries item="entry"}
{if $showtitle}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_title">
{$entry.title|escape}
</div>
{/if}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_body">
{$entry.body}
</div>
{if $showext}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_extended">
{$entry.extended}
</div>
{/if}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_separator"></div>
{/foreach}
To something like this:
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$entries item="entry"}
{if $showtitle}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_title">
<a href="{$entry.link}">{$entry.title|escape}</a>
</div>
{/if}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_body">
{$entry.body|@truncate:200:''}
</div>
{if $showext}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_extended">
{$entry.extended}
</div>
{/if}
<div class="serendipity_showentry_separator"></div>
{/foreach}
And you also need an updated version of the plugin from here:

The old one did not set the $entry['link'] variable, which is why you need that new version.

Hi Garvin,
thank you, everything works fine! :-)
Well, ... right about now I'm trying to make a copy of this plugin to use it as a kind of mini-photo-blog-thing.
the aim: to have some additional illustrative photographs to existing entries - the photos placed on the left sidebar.
...or is this stupid cause there is already such a plugin like this?
Regards from Hamburg

Hi!
I think there is a photoblog sidebar plugin, which allows you to upload a picture that's shown there...but I guess that's not exactly what you were looking for. But creating such a thing should not be too hard; you could take the "serendipity_plugin_references" plugin as an example. This shows all links of an entry in the sidebar - you could modify it to instead show specific CustomFields of an entry, or pull data from a database...
HTH,
Garvin

Hi,
thanks for the informations. I'll try to make that modification...
Hopefully I'll be having the "sidebar_plugin_photoentry" on Wednesday ;-)
