Page Lists Plus & qTranslate

Since launching Page Lists Plus, I’ve had a number of enquiries from users of qTranslate about getting the two plugins to work together. The latest release of Page Lists Plus (that’s v1.1.8) adds qTranslate compatibility. Thanks go to Ferran Vidal, who came up with a much better way of tackling this than I did.

    I have been testing this plugin with WP 3.0 and MU activated and it isn’t working. Just wondering what you think your eta is going to be for integrating with MU.

    thanks -

    I have been testing as well but with WP 2.9.2. Thesis 1.7 and qtranslate 2.5.7. I want to get rid of the title attributes when I hover over the nav menu. After ticking the box “remove title attributes form anchors” the title attributes are still displayed. What else do I need to do?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thesis has its own proprietary Page list function that it uses instead of wp_list_pages(). That means that plugins that interact with wp_list_pages(), like Page Lists Plus, won’t work with it. This is one reason why theme developers should use core functions wherever possible.

    Re WPMU compatibility: I don’t think it’ll take too much work, but as WP and WPMU are being brought together in WP 3.0, and as WP 3.0 will include a new menu system, I’ll wait and see how that turns out before looking at this.

    Nice Plugin!

    Suggestion: []Link should not remove the whole <a> but only the href=”". This way no formattings are lost and e.g. in the default Twentyten this option could be used without destroying the layout.

    Therefore: ‘<a>’.$post_title.’</a>’ on lines 386 and 399.

    Demo: allen.projectbay.net > East > both Subpages

    Hi Bruno,

    Removing the anchor tags seems to be the right behaviour to me: if something isn’t a link, then it shouldn’t be marked up using <a> tags.

    That said, I realise that this creates problems with styling that some will find insurmountable, so I’ve included an “Unlink using javascript” option on the Settings > Page Lists Plus page which disables the links without removing the anchor tags.

    The javascript option isn’t quite as accessible as yours as it won’t work for users with javascript disabled, but it does avoid creating a validation error, which is why I prefer it.

    Thanks for the input.

    Tim

    Hi Tim

    The javascript option has a little bug/problem: It unlinks EVERY page with the same title as another unlinked page.

    … so I went back to my solution :)

    Anyway. Nice Plugin!

    Ngh… the bug is not in the javascript. It happens with both solutions…

    Perhaps you should use the permalink name (without path since also unique) instead of the page title.
