GS Blog v1.4

[influxweb]

@islander and @mikeh

I was reading @islanders post on the I18N Search topic (http://get-simple.info/forum/post/30945/#p30945) regarding hooking GS Blog to be searchable with said plugin. I attempted to place the code in...with disastrous results. I didn't see any other formal way of requesting a feature addition, so I though this would be the best way. Can the hooks be added into the GS Blog module to allow searching this way?

Thank you,
Matt

I will add this in the next version.

@mikeh - I was curious if you were able to figure a way enable the I18N Search plugin to search GS Blog posts?

I'm having an issue with the RSS feed generated from the plugin, it doesn't validate on FeedBurner and when I try to view it on Firefox, it just doesn't show up the posts. Is this something that's being worked on?

I get the errors:

1. "The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file."
2. "XML parsing error"
3. "Self reference doesn't match document location"

Temporary fix for Russian dates (month names, week days) encoding:

Edit blog/class/primary/Blog.php, find this (around line 750-760)

PHP Code:

        setlocale(LC_TIME, $this->getSettingsData("lang")); 


Change it to:

PHP Code:

        setlocale(LC_TIME, 'ru_RU.UTF8', 'ru.UTF8', 'ru_RU.UTF-8', 'ru.UTF-8', 'ru_RU', 'ru');

for plugin gs blog to do transliteration slug and tag cloud

[jesusda]

Hi!

I've trying the GS Blog plugin and it is great! Good Work!

I've updated the spanish translation file to 1.5 version. The "focoves" version was good, but has any missing strings and some other issues I've tryed to fix. Thanks to focoves to the previous work.

I've noticed some bugs maybe you could help me to solve (see the gs-blog-errors.png attached file):

1 - The Post Options texts are all on english. The es_ES.php contains this translated strings, but does not load...

2 - The upload thumbnail does not work for me. Only a blank text field appears. If I type a url to a local image file, then it's works, but there are no way to upload and automatize this job.

Thank you and great work!!

@Oleg06

To add slug transliteration support to GS Blog,

Edit blog/class/primary/Blog.php
Around line 640, find this:

PHP Code:

    public function blog_create_slug($str) 
    {
        $str = to7bit($str, 'UTF-8');
        $str = clean_url($str);
        return $str;
    } 


Change it by:

PHP Code:

    public function blog_create_slug($str) 
    {
        global $i18n;
        if (isset($i18n['TRANSLITERATION']) && is_array($translit=$i18n['TRANSLITERATION']) && count($translit>0))
            $str = str_replace(array_keys($translit),array_values($translit),$str);
        $str = to7bit($str, 'UTF-8');
        $str = clean_url($str);
        return $str;
    } 


(There are 3 lines inserted just after the "{" and before the "$str = ...")

Not tested (as usual. ;-)) [Edit] I should have. There was an error. Fixed.

[Carlos]

The Post Options texts are all on english. The es_ES.php contains this translated strings, but does not load...

While testing this plugin some time ago I had some issue like that, but I didn't research further.

Try this:
- GS Blog -> Settings -> select es_ES and SAVE.
- GetSimple admin -> settings -> select es_ES and SAVE.

[jesusda]

Try this:
- GS Blog -> Settings -> select es_ES and SAVE.
- GetSimple admin -> settings -> select es_ES and SAVE.

Hi Carlos!

I have checked this language configuration and they still have the es_ES values. I think the plugin does not load the strings and it uses the fixed ones.

I think GS Blog is a great Blog Plugin, but Do you know any other Blog plugin with more or better features?

Thanks!

need to do a tag cloud as in News manager

[SteveSy]

hi dears ,

actually its very awesome useful plugin , i'm trying to test add in my website but i need some help please ,

first how can i upload more Thumbnails! i want to add three Thumbnails for each post and i'll collect them in CSS slide ,

second how can i show last three posts by category without title, and in excerpt 110 letters ,

your help is very much appreciated guys ...

[bensayers]

Hi mikeh, how do you get the post thumbnail to display on the full post page (not the main blog page)? When I "read more" to view the full post, the thumbnail isn't there for some reason.

I also wondering if it would be possible to use a different page template for each blog category? I'm currently using WordPress but would LOVE to abandon it for this - that's the only thing standing in my way - please help =)

Great plugin BTW, I like GS more and more every day thanks to great developers like you! Thanks for any help you can offer!

Where to define a template for the full post? When I click on the post's title the page with all blog posts is displayed. No matter of categories. And there is no picture related to the blog post.

Where to define a template for the full post? When I click on the post's title the page with all blog posts is displayed. No matter of categories. And there is no picture related to the blog post.

I think the "post" template is assumed by the "blog" template. When you select the "blog page" in preferences, it asumes blog uses the template the "blog page" are configured to use.

The thumbnail does not appears in the post by default. Only in the xcerpt.

But you can change the GS Blog code to allow show thumbnail in both:

You must edit the blog/inc/frontEndFunctions.php file and here is is my modification:

PHP Code:

            <p class="blog_post_content">
                <?php
                if(!isset($_GET['post']) && $blogSettings["postthumbnail"] == 'Y' && !empty($post->thumbnail)) 
                { 
                    echo '<img src="'.$SITEURL.'data/uploads/'.$post->thumbnail.'" style="" class="blog_post_thumbnail" />';
                }
                if($excerpt == false || $excerpt == true && $blogSettings["postformat"] == "Y")
                {
                    if( $blogSettings["postthumbnail"] == 'Y' && !empty($post->thumbnail)) 
                    { 
                        echo '<img src="'.$SITEURL.'data/uploads/'.$post->thumbnail.'" style="" class="blog_post_thumbnail" />';
                    }            
                    echo html_entity_decode($post->content);
                }
                else
                {
                    if($excerpt == true && $blogSettings["postformat"] == "N")
                    {
                        if($blogSettings["excerptlength"] == '')
                        {
                            $excerpt_length = 250;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            $excerpt_length = $blogSettings["excerptlength"];
                        }
                        echo $Blog->create_excerpt(html_entity_decode($post->content), 0, $excerpt_length);
                    }
                }
                if(!isset($_GET['post']) && $blogSettings['displayreadmore'] == 'Y')
                {
                    echo '...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp<br /><a href="'.$url.'" class="read_more_link">'.$blogSettings['readmore'].'</a>';
                }
                ?>
            </p>

I attach the entire file.

Hi Jesusda, I tried out your code and it does indeed add a thumbnail to the full post page but it also adds a second thumbnail to the main Blog excerpt listing page. See below for a screenshot. Any chance you can modify your file to remove the second thumbnail? It's exactly what I need, thanks!

Here the new code:

PHP Code:

                        echo '<img src="'.$SITEURL.'data/uploads/'.$post->thumbnail.'" style="" class="blog_post_thumbnail" />';        
                }
                
                
                if($excerpt == false || $excerpt == true && $blogSettings["postformat"] == "Y")
                {

                        {
                            $excerpt_length = 250;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            $excerpt_length = $blogSettings["excerptlength"];
                        }
                        
                        
                    if( $blogSettings["postthumbnail"] == 'N' && !empty($post->thumbnail))
