Thanks for that sigork. 1.0.6 has the correct version number and handles “open” v. “Open” better.
As for the “Draft” status, I assume that it exists under one of your weblog’s custom status groups? The extension pulls out all your statuses and populates the list (so you don’t have to choose a weblog to choose a status).
You seem to have a knack for making extensions for all those things that my co-workers and I talk about: “You know, EE should…” Thank you for this. Again, Pmachine should hire you.
I think it speaks for the flexibility of EE, though, that you actually can do all these things with a simple extension, no hacks needed. Of course, first somebody like Mark had to come along… Which is as good an opportunity as any, I suppose, to say a big, loud, heartfelt “Thank you” to him.
I posted earlier today about this, but I think I put that in the wrong spot… so let me ask here.
I had selected “Comments” from a pulldown on the main Edit page. Now, ALL I see when I select the Edit tab is comments, and because the comments search/edit area doesn’t have the pulldowns at the top, I have no way to break out of this cycle.
How can I get back to the regular edit menu? Can Edit Remember ignore Comments (or something like that)? Help with this issue would be greatly appreciated as my local development site is a little tough to edit right now .
I’m not sure what you mean mdesign. On the edit tab, when I choose comments, I can always go back to choosing titles? Can you provide specific steps as to how you reached this state?
Wow, this is really strange! See attached pic, and disregard my silly testing comments.
All I can remember is that I was testing comments and how to moderate them and edit them. I believe I clicked the Edit tab. Then I selected “Comments” from the pulldown just to the left of the “Search” button, without entering any keywords. That brought up just the comments, I believe. At that point there was no going back! Because when you filter for comments only, there are no pulldowns at the top. So, I clicked “Edit” and voila…comments! There was no way to select another weblog, or “Titles and Entries” or anything else.
I then disabled the Extension, selected a different weblog, made a dummy edit, clicked “Edit” and it did the default behavior - not saving my Edit place. Ok, that’s fine. So, I went back to enable the extension, went back to Edit, and ...whammo. Nothing but Comments! Now it’s really borked!
Am I missing something? I have had a really long 3 days of sitting here messing with EE…
Alright, 1.0.8 should ‘fix’ this by only remembering searches without comments selected (for some reason EE removes the search parameters when searching comments).
Thanks, Mark. I installed this on my remote dev site, clicked “comments”, and got the dreaded comments screen where the pulldowns disappear (anyone at EE…why does this happen? What is the point of taking away the pulldowns?) And when I Click ‘Edit’, it works as advertised and ignores the “comment” criteria I just selected.
However, my local install is still hung up on editing those comments. I’m going to try in a different browser right now (maybe has something to do with cookies or sessions?) and then restart this browser as well to try and get back to normalcy.
A little more research: I tried this on my local install in Safari (not my regular browser) and it worked OK. Problem is, I tried “Trackbacks” from that dropdown, and got caught in a Trackbacks loop.
I think the Extension needs to ignore both the Comments and Trackbacks screens - as they both hide the Edit Weblog Entries pulldowns areas.
I also quit FireFox (my regular browser) and fired it back up, went to the admin, clicked ‘Edit’ and got…comments.
Maybe I need to delete cookies or something?
UPDATE I did indeed have a bad cookie in Firefox for my local install. Now if you could release v1.0.9 that ignores Trackbacks, you would be the man. Wait, you already are.
This extension remembers your edit screen across views. So if you filter by category and then leave and come back it will still be filtered by category. Try it out and let me know if there’s anything else I could add to it.
Mark, speaking as one of your many admirers, could you please add an RSS feed to your site with your updates? It would be much easier than subscribing to various and sundry posts.
I am making use of your Pages module and I noted that the edit view is not remembered if you click to edit the entries of a multiple entries weblog from the Pages page (why did that just sound really weird). From what I can see this happens because there is no POSTed data and that the info about what weblog to show is being sent via the URL.
I played around with your code a bit and came up with the following which seems to work:
Basically I just added the else section to your ‘modify_edit_post’ function after your check to see if the $_POST array has been set. If there is no POST data it checks the $_GET array to see if a ‘weblog_id’ has been supplied in the URL, and if so it stores the id in the ‘edit_remember’ session variable.
I wanted to run this past you to see if there was anything I was missing that may cause problems with the rest of EE or your module.
P.S. Thanks for all the great modules and extensions!
It appears, based on my experience with 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 (maybe other recent versions) that this extension doesn’t work with recent versions of EE.
What happens on the site I work with, is the remembering portion works, but pagination of search results stops working. That is, if I click any page of results after Page 1, the keywords field is replaced by the keywords URL parameter (something like xlKYKKFM, looks like a hash), and the search therefore doesn’t work.
