Hi Elwin,

A very quick update for you. I tried removing extensions until I found one that was conflicting with it which I should have done in the first place before bothering you with all this so for that I apologise.

I have found out that it is Live-search which is stopping the Edit Categories link from appearing. As soon as I remove that extension it all works as advertised on the tin!! grin

I don’t really have to use the Live Search extension so I can live without it for now.

Just thought you should know to hopefully save you a lot of work if you hadn’t already started that is?

Best wishes,

Mark

I did already dive in but found the link showed up fine on Leopard and Firefox 2.0.0.10

The problem with the livesearch extension might be that it adds its javascript after the closing html tag, instead of somewhere in the head or body.

</body>
</
html>< script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" >...

Maybe your specific Firefox version can’t handle that wink

Cheers,
Elwin

Hiya,

Yeah I looked at that and was wondering why the Javascript was placed there for the Live Search extension. A bit weird that. Oh well it all works now as I don’t really use the Live Search extension as much as I thought I would so I have just disabled it for now.

Thanks for looking into this for me.

Best wishes,

Mark

Nice one, Elwin. Now, if you’ve got some time to spare, why not add some JavaScript to enable a shift-click. You know, to select a range of categories with 2 clicks. smile

Thanks,

I did some testing by ‘borrowing’ and adapting EE’s ‘magic checkbox’ code.
It worked, but didn’t produce the result I was looking for.

Might look into it some other time.

I adore Cocoaholic for making this extension. It makes my life so much easier and I wish I’d seen it before.

That is all and thanks again! I will be sure to pimp this to the skies!

Has anyone had issues getting the extension to work. I’ve been following the latest jambor-ee.com postings and thought I’d load this extension. Sadly, I get the following error when I try to open the publish control panel:

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1064

Description
: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '3,4,1,2,5)' at line 1

Query
: SELECT group_name FROM exp_category_groups WHERE group_id IN (,3,4,1,2,5)

So, I cranked up Zend Studio to see if I could work my way through this quickly. What I found in my error case, was that the function “fetch_group_name” is called where:

$cat_group = $row['cat_group'];

returns

$cat_group = "|3|4|1|2|5"

Then:

$group_ids = str_replace('|', ',', $cat_group);

produces

SELECT group_name FROM exp_category_groups WHERE group_id IN (,3,4,1,2,5)

Is this an issue with my DB, or should the str_replace line be adjusted to handle this situation? Something else?

Hi,

This could be a small EE bug / ehm… feature.
I just checked and the problem is as follows:

When selecting category groups for a weblog it is possible to select multiple groups, but also select the first item “none”.
If you do this the database is actually updated with the category group id’s as well as one empty item, the first one.

You can correct this now by visiting the group settings for your weblog and clicking ‘submit’ again (without selecting the ‘none’ item in the list)

I will add a workaround for this problem tomorrow.
