I18N Special Pages

[mvlcek]

Hi All,

Maybe it's something I am missing, or something I don't understand...

I am trying to use the I18N Special Pages plugin to be able to standardise sets of custom fields for (hypothetically speaking) two groups of pages. Such pages will get effectively tagged as "_special_group_a" and "_special_group_b" .

Now, what I want to do from a theme template, is to iterate through a given group of pages, and be able to access the custom fields for different purposes.

To make my question as direct as possible, what I am really looking for is to replace the ???s with the correct PHP calls  in the following code:

Code:

$search=return_i18n_search_results('_special_group_a',null,0,-1,$language);
if($search['totalCount']>0) {
    foreach($search['result'] as $entry) {
       $p_link=???;            // This is the link to get to the actual page
       $p_title=???;           // This is the page title
       $p_custom_field_X=???;  // This is the value of a custom field defined via the special pages
       $p_custom_field_Y=???;  // This is the value of a custom field defined through custom fields
       // the rest of the code that uses the fields will go here :)
    }
} else {
    // Nothing found code goes here.
}

If you want to programmatically access a field like in your code, they should all be available as fields in entry: $entry->url (the page slug), $entry->title, $entry->X (for custom or special field named "X").
See http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/i18nsearch (API)

However, the easier way is to just add to your page (language should be that of the page):

Code:

(% searchresults tags="_special_group_a" language="en" %)

and add templage code in the search tab of the special pages configuration. There you would use get_special_field("X", "default-value", false) to display a custom/special field "X".
See http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/i18nspecialpages (API).
See http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/search?tags=+s...rch=Search for an example: the found software entries include information like home page and download links.
This is the HTML/PHP code of the example:

Code:

<h3 class="search-entry-title">
  <?php if ($showLanguage) { ?>
  <span class="search-entry-language"><?php get_special_field('language'); ?></span>
  <?php } ?>
  <a href="<?php get_special_field('link','',false); ?>">
    <?php get_special_field('title','',false); ?>
  </a>
</h3>
<div class="search-entry-date">
  Software,
  <?php get_special_field('type', '-', false); ?>,
  <?php get_special_field('platform', '-', false); ?>
  <?php if (return_special_field('homepage')) { ?>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="<?php get_special_field('homepage','',false); ?>">Home page</a>
  <?php } ?>
  <?php if (return_special_field('download')) { ?>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="<?php get_special_field('download','',false); ?>">Download</a>
  <?php } ?>
</div>
<div class="search-entry-excerpt"><?php get_special_field_excerpt('content', $numWords); ?></div>

In the view tab of the special pages configuration you can define how the page is displayed. The default is just to show the content field.
See http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/oss/jeasyorm for an example: the special fields are displayed in a box.
This is the HTML/PHP code of the example:

Code:

<div class="software-details">
  <p><b>Type</b><br/><?php get_special_field('type','-',false); ?></p>
  <p><b>Platform</b><br/><?php get_special_field('platform','-',false); ?></p>
  <p><b>License</b><br/><?php get_special_field('license','-',false); ?></p>
  <?php if (return_special_field('homepage')) { ?>
  <p><b>Home Page</b><br/><a href="<?php get_special_field('homepage','',false); ?>"><?php get_special_field('homepage','',false); ?></a></p>
  <?php } ?>
  <?php if (return_special_field('download')) { ?>
  <p><b>Download</b><br/><a href="<?php get_special_field('download','',false); ?>"><?php get_special_field('download','',false); ?></a></p>
  <?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_special_field('content'); ?>
