Plugin: Structure Entries - Add-on for Structure module

Saw that 1.0.9 is released.

This upgraded corrected everything. Much appreciated, thank you!

I don’t quite understand the use of {current_parent} and how I can use it to fix my {current_page} active state problem.

{current_parent} would make no difference to your issue, {current_parent} is for testing if the child of a parent is the current active entry (in case you wanted to highlight the menu option for example). Note this is different to {current_page}.

I’ve managed to replicate your issue on my test page and was halfway through fixing it, will hopefully finish it and upload in the next 24 hours.

v1.0.10 fixes the issue with closing markup correctly if depth restricted (it didn’t correctly close the last sibling if there were deeper children than the restricted depth).

That sounds complete gibberish!

I just upgraded today and im getting a PHP notice output when using the plugin

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/tmsdi.com/htdocs/tmsdi/plugins/pi.structure_entries.php  on line 499

I’ve not had time to look into this yet myself. Anyone else having the same problem?

Edit: Using PHP 5.2.13

Ignore my last post, for whatever reason, it does not seem to be happening anymore :blank:

Hi, please see the edit on the second post of this thread, the PHP error is caused by the method I use to tap into the FieldFrame fields (which was the only way without duplicating any of the FieldFrame code).

The above mentioned post also states how to prevent the error from appearing (edit to php.ini).

I’m planning on re-writing this to avoid the issue.

Thanks for the reply, I did notice and find the offending line of code but it was commented out anyway… I’m not sure why but I’m not getting the error anymore anyway!

Just another quick question, the {title} variables being output by the plugin are not encoding characters such as “&”. I can see why this may intentional, but is there an easy way to encode them?

I could modify the code and add another parameter to the plugin tag, just wanted to check I was not missing a simpler solution.

Thanks

Can you clarify what you mean by “&” not being encoded - it works fine in my tests: http://www.northstarenergy.co.uk/test

Outputs the title “Large Scale & Commercial” fine?

Sorry perhaps I was not clear. My use of the word “encoding” was propably incorrect.

It’s outputting html entities like “&” and “£” when they should be converted to “&” and “£” so that the pages will validate. I’ve not tested but i assume it does not convert any other entities too?

LOL - “&” or “&” - that is the question! It currently outputs to html “& amp;” (without the space obviously) instead of the single character “&”. In EE, I’ve entered the title with a single character “&”.

So it is correctly encoding the characters output to your template.

This is just a standard EE output method and so is automatically parsed. Perhaps it’s something to do with your EE build or setup…?

Thats really strange, any “&” in my titles do get converted fine except for when its used within structure_entries.

You say it works for you? In the example you posted earlier (http://www.northstarenergy.co.uk/test) I see un-converted “&” characters on line 75 of your source.

Doh! I did “view selected source” which must have automatically encoded it within the browser.

Sorry - download the latest version in post one and see if this solves the problem. I’m now parsing via PHP htmlentities, but think this will cause more problems thatn it solves, as I’m pretty sure it won’t correctly render out html tags.

Give it a go and let me know if it works for what you’re doing, but I think I’ll have to end up parsing stuff manually.

Yea ive done that “view selection source” before and seen similar things… a real pain in the ass that is!

This new version is perfect and all my html entities are now converted nicely.

Thanks!
