Sorry for probably missing something obvious, but what’s the key to getting the description to display for a term in the taxonomy? For a category it’s

This is the text to describe category A

What’s the equivalent for taxonomies created via this plugin?

ps. I’ve just spotted a solution - youve thoughfully included the argument slug_value=1 to the custax_wp_dropdown_terms() function. this creates a dropdown that sends the term slug rather than the term id and consequently my taxonomy theme files now work as expected.

thanks

hope this is helpful to someone.

Hi
Firstly, great plugin, thanks (though I do wonder why the WP crew haven’t included much of this in core yet - I am using WP V2.9.2).

One question/snag:

A have a taxonomy names ‘lists’ set up, with the option ‘Add permalink URL (/%slug%/%term%)’ ticked.

This works fine for calls to and from custax_list_terms(…) and wp_tag_cloud(…) etc - all of which render links to eg: http://mysite.com/?lists=mylist-a. Thereafter I catch the requests in the taxonomy-lists.php theme file which lists posts in the taxonomy term fine.

However, the function custax_wp_dropdown_terms(…) generates a drop down list requesting terms by term_id, rather than by slug - ie.

Please select a category…
term A
term B
… etc

(extra spaces are inserted intentionally here to render in this post).

as a result, when the the drop down box form parameters are received by the taxonomy-lists.php (or similar file), it fails, since it is attempting to get posts in term by slug, rather than by id.

whilst i can code my way around this/produce some alternative method that will work with both forms, am i missing a smarter way to deal with this apparent ambiguity in the url syntax for taxonomies? (ie. is there an alternative syntax eg. http::/mysite.com/?taxonomy=lists&term_id=123 that I/we should be aiming to implement here, rather than an arbitrary hack?

thanks for any thoughts/ideas you have.

I’ve tested your tuto on windows and it works very well, thanks !
even with the xpi method
the problem is only on linux, so pgerhaps because I am on FF 3.5.8 on linux or my compilation script isn’t good…

I’ll continue to devellop on windows waiting to find a solution on linux
here’s the result of the command :

Yes I put them in good directory, (delete xpti.dat and compreg.dat)
when restart Firefox, in tools–>error concsole, I’ve got this 3 errors :
“Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.8/components/MyComponent.so”
“Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8/components/pyabout.py”
“Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8/components/py_test_component.py”

I’ve tried too an install with the xpi method and it looks similar errors in the console…
I make an install.rdf and a folder “components” that include the “.so” and the “.xpt”,then I pack them all in a “xpi”, is it equivalent to the first method?

@gil: Did you copy the .xpt file and the .so file into the right folder? That error means that it’s not actually loading your component, so either you’re referencing the component wrong (wrong name), it didn’t build correctly, or you didn’t put it in the right place.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello,
Thanks, I compiled it on linux with the makefile at the end of this page:
http://groups.google.fr/group/mozilla.dev.tech.xpcom/tree/browse_frm/month/2008-12/58e0638e17596c16?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fmozilla.dev.tech.xpcom%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fmonth%2F2008-12%3F
I ontained a “.so”
I did all the end of the procedure but when I went on the htmlpage and I click on the button I get :
“TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined”
so bad for me…
I have firefox 3.5.8, i have compiled with sdk 1.9.1.7 and 1.9.2, same result…
