Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion: WordPress Plugin – Custom Query String – UTW Edition

  • Gregg Gordon · 2 years ago
    I keep getting a corrupted download, even if I delete, clear cache and try again. Also tried IE to make sure it wasn't staying stuck in my Firefox cache somehow.

    Hi Gregg

    Sorry about that, just created another archive and uploaded it - it now downloads correctly and I have no idea how the first was corrupted, file sizes were identical.

    I opened downloaded file with text-editor and it said :
    [code]Warning: fopen(CustomQueryStringUTW.zip)........[/code]

    seems like download error message.

    Lets try a direct link, I have just tested the file on the server.

    http://andybeard.eu/downloads/cqsutw.zip

    082Net - the plugin itself is effectively the same as version 2.7 with the changes you and a few others posted around a year ago to work with UTW.

    <h3>Update</h3>

    I tested downloading from multiple servers and creating new archives with the same and different file names, and was still getting errors through the download manager

    I then changed the archive with a small addition to credits, and the problems seem to have cleared up.

    If you have problems with the download manager link, I am leaving this link above, but it should now work.

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question....but I have installed this plugin, made some custom queries in options, but it's not having any impact on the site. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? I have read everything I can find to explain it, but nothing gives me any more instruction. My aim is to show all my posts in ASC order every time they appear. I have made CQs for each category, and for is_home, is_archive and is_index. You can look at http://www.familyhistorians.org and try clicking on Geracitano or Piscioneri -- you'll see the posts show up in default descending order, not in ascending order. All posts were written on August 18, so it may not be obvious, but it should begin with "Geracitano Family Research Begins" and end with "Finally, we arrive at Geracitano". Any help?
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    Very strange

    I just tested my SEO category with ASC set to -1 as the number of posts. The last 3 items also appear on my front page currently, all posts done the same day and now appear in sequential order.

    Hi Andy,
    Do you think to update your plugin for the WP 2.3. There is a database error because of the new category table.
    Thank you.

    Yes, I also confirm there is a bug using WP 2.3. Could you please fix it? Since Matt doesn't want to fix it, I'm stuck.

    Patrick it is going to be patched very soon, I had hoped to already have it done by now, as it is only a simple thing.

    The modification is very simple, the hard part is actually making sure everything uploads correctly to the repository such that there are branches maintained for both 2.2.3 and 2.3

    I am traveling currently, as I have been for the last 10 days, my time is limited.

    A quick patch was posted in the support forums, and that should work though I haven't yet checked how tag pages are being handled

    Hi Andy: Below is a copy of a help request I posted on the WordPress Support forums. I have since been told that your CQS plugin can fix my problem. Unfortunately, I guess I am not quite geeky enough to understand if this is correct from reading the above information. :-)

    Can I indeed use your plugin to fix the category links in my sidebar?

    Thanks - Will
    ------------------------

    I have my number of posts to display on blog pages set to 6 so as to only show the full text of the latest 6 posts on my main WordPress blog page.

    The problem is that is you hover over one of the categories in my side bar, the link title says "View all post filed under..." But when you click the link, just like on the main blog page, only the latest 6 posts are displayed, not all of them. The theme is using ?php wp_list_cats.

    I can not figure out how to get the category links in my sidebar to display "all" posts in the category and not just the latest 6.

    Will I got back earlier than I thought, on Saturday rather than Monday.

    CQS does the job, as you will see from my own categories.

    A good example of the power is my SEO category which I show in date order, so you get to read the oldest first.

    The idea of the plugin seems a little scary, but the interface is actually very easy to understand once you start playing with it.

    Also for anyone looking for a quick patch if using WP2.3 a couple of people have posted what seems to be the obvious fix though I need to check this with tags

    Thanks Andy! It is a little scary but it is getting close to Halloween so I'll just deal with it. I am still on WP2.1.3 but as more and more of my plugins become compatible, I am probably soon to go through the process of upgrading to 2.3.

    If I run into any trouble getting CQS set up to correctly display category posts, I'll run screaming back here.

    Thanks again.

    I love this plugin, but it is not compatible with Wordpress 2.3. The wp_categories table has changed to wp_terms, I think, and a few other changes.

    i got error when adding condition is_category to show 10 post

    WordPress database error: [Table 'mydatabase_mydatabase.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
    SELECT cat_ID FROM wp_categories WHERE category_nicename = 'categoryname'

    how to fix it
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    There are 2 fixes already listed but I haven't tested them, and might not take into account every circumstance
  • kroeton · 2 years ago
    maybe you use another prefix of database tables? wp_categories is standart wordpress database table...

    Hi...

    This plugin is great... A few quick questions though..

    1. Under Category-Condition... All of my categories are listed but they are not in alphabetical order... is that normal?
    2. Do I have to set -1, Title, ASC for every category (i have them broken out by food cuisine) or is there one fix that can cover all categories?
    3. I have a search function on my page and I'd like it to also show results in alphabetical order by post title. I've tried using the Query-Condition for is_archive, is_search, and is_category however the searches still appear to be in chronological order. Any idea how to fix that?

    THanks for the help

    Your blog is either 2.07. or 2.5 looking at your meta - for 2.5 you really need to be using the updated version

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for the reply. Fundamentally, your version works. In fact I noticed that my 3rd problem is actually working. I installed the newer version and problems 1 and 2 still persist.

    Any advice?
