Lately, I’ve been writing Textpattern pages for relatively complex sites that do things like this:

<txp:if_section name="widgets,sprockets,thingies">
    <txp:hide>The widgets, sprockets, and thingies sections have their own special layouts.</txp:hide>
    <txp:output_form...

Tipattern is the hard mod of the Textpattern CMS, based on 4.0.8 r3205 and add this feature:

• integrate cache support,

A 4.0.6 update to Dan Hoy’s admin theme/mod

ort_plugindecode.php is a script that allows you to decode a Textpattern plugin in order to get a source .php file you can edit and modify and then compile using the standard zem_tpl.

It has three different modes: textpattern plugin adds an easy to use tab to the administrative interface of Textpattern, command line mode works from the command line (just like zem_tpl does). Web mode works in a php enabled web server and you can invoke it from a standard browser.

If you ever wanted to use that nifty Itemstats-Functionality in your Articles you should give this implementation a try.

The Original Textpattern Interface Re-Styled had such a positive response, I figured it is good to keep things up to date on my download page. So here is the official release for Textpattern 4.05

PLEASE NOTE: If you downloaded this before, you’ll need to download the new one to get the updated textpattern.css file!

Thanks to Dan Hoy for this great interface-lift. I’ve been using it under 4.0.4, but wanted to upgrade to 4.0.5.

So….I did. I had to add an item...

During the process of building my site in Textpattern, I came across a redesigned interface package at a site called Empty Spaces. I was inspired by what they did and started playing around with the css…

modding comment input field lengths in textpattern/publish/comment.php

If you want to serve your Textpattern site with the proper MIME type, you need to edit publish.php, found in the /textpattern/ directory. (written for 4.0.3)

1. Backup and open /textpattern/publish.php in a text editor
2. Search for “text/html” (lines 115 and...

A modification that allows one to sort by category or article id as well as the standard sorting options on the image tab of your admin panel.

So, I’ve decided to take the textpattern to my mother language.

Make firefox and IE render the RSS feed instead of prompting to download it. will help with similar problems in other browsers as well.

instructions:
1. download file
2. use it to replace /textpattern/publish/rss.php on your site
3. enjoy!

Ask yourself these two questions:

• Have you ever had the urge to move the textpattern directory somewhere else and use it as a section instead?
• Do you have a site that you want some tightened security and therefore keep the admin part of TXP on the encrypted secure https server?

Did you anser yes to any of the questions? Great, then keep on reading.

A simple one-line addition to both rss.php and atom.php will allow for displaying a link to comments inside the body of your website’s feeds:

Highlights the search terms that brought a visitor from Google

I updated to RC3 and love the file support, but I was missing one thing: custom fields for additional informations like file author. So today I tried to implement it and it works good for me. I decided to share this hack with people who are new to php or who have no time to do it themselves.

Have comments welcome back visitors instead of redisplaying entire comment form for regular visitors.

Customize XML feeds to allow for both full articles and excerpts.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to remove the comments preview function from Textpattern. It involves publish/comments.php in your Textpattern folder, and I would advise backing up the file before you make any changes.

Adds three tags. Two are replacements for category_list and category_popup which are section-sensitive, i.e. they only contain categories that have posts in the current section, and they link to the current section.
The third tag is an article-tag that shows the catagories that a post is in (or displays nothing if no category is set).

TXP Hack to automatically create thumbnails from uploaded JPEG’s

Automatically convert common acronyms like XML, HTML, TXP without having to define them via the ACRO method. You can still define your own acronym’s.

This is a fairly involved hack for TXP that allows one to use TextilePHP, or any other suitable replacement for Textile, quite easily.

This combination plugin/hack allows one to create and edit photo galleries.

This hack and/or plugin lets you use WikiWords inside of TXP article’s or reference external links. The words refer to other TXP article’s. The words arn’t automatically created, like a real wiki, but any words that haven’t been setup are just disregarded.
