[geeklog-devel] Geeklog Topics

[Tom]

For Multilanguage sites I currently allow topics not assigned to a language
to be displayed along with any topics assigned to that language (blocks do
this as well) in the  Topics Block. I just realized that previously only
topics assigned to that language would display in the topics block. 

So for Multilanguage sites do we want topics not assigned to any language to
display in this block or should I switch it back to the old way?

Thanks Dirk I will take a look at the issues. I think I know what the
problem is. I am surprised I didn't run into it before with my test topic
tree that has 22 topics with all of its different permissions, language and
inherit settings ;-)

It is like the last thing on the list. The current form works but obviously
it doesn't show the relationships. I was hoping someone else may take a stab
at it ... maybe even use a tree control from jQuery or something ...

Just got a chance to poke around a bit, so here are some quick observations:

I promptly ran into an error in the old forum plugin (forgot the details,
but it did involve "tid") when trying to migrate a geeklog.net backup to my
local test setup. So this is one example of a plugin that we need to tell
people about (I assume the new forum plugin will have addressed that by the
time 1.9.0 is out).


I get an SQL error when calling up directory.php. There's an empty IN() in
the SQL here:

"SELECT b.*,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(rdfupdated) AS date FROM blocks b,
topic_assignments ta WHERE ta.type = 'block' AND ta.id = bid AND is_enabled
= 1 AND onleft = 1 AND (ta.tid IN() AND (ta.inherit = 1 OR (ta.inherit = 0
AND ta.tid = 'all')) OR ta.tid = 'all') ORDER BY blockorder,title ASC"

which comes from line 3608ff in lib-common.php:

if(!empty($topic)) {
        // Retrieve list of inherited topics
        $tid_list = TOPIC_getChildList($topic);

I guess the $tid_list is empty.


Do you plan to redesign the admin's list of topics, too? Now that we have
subtopics, there should be a way to see that relationship (like with
categories in the Links plugin). There's an old feature request for this:
http://project.geeklog.net/tracking/view.php?id=968


Playing with the security aspect of subtopics, I get the same SQL error as
above like so:

Topic
  Subtopic
      Subsubtopic

Then make "Subtopic" not accessible for Anonymous users and try to call up
the URL of a story in "Subsubtopic".

I don't understand the code enough yet to know whether an empty $tid_list is
already a problem - or if it's allowed and the code just has to check for
it.

bye, Dirk
