Hi, I am actually in the process of building something like this for my company’s wordpress site.

Currently we have four systems:
1) WordPress which manages all the pages.
2) Zen Cart for checkout/order processing.
3) VTiger for Knowledge base, order tracking, and support calls.
4) An internal system which manages support contracts, dynamic device updates, etc.

I have written a plugin which currently works with all three of them via WebService calls to determine what level of access the user has to our protect content areas. Each protected page is then assigned a “lowestLevel” and as long as the user has a level equal to or higher, they can view that page.

Currently it’s just static content, which is the same for all users, but the idea is there to make it dynamic, including file downlaods, based on what the user has purchased in the store and when support expires.

My next step is to build in a Knowledge base.

Just thought I’d put in my two cents and see if anyone has suggestions.

Thanks. That doesn’t seem to work because WP is throwing a 404 before it gets to my updated query_posts… I know I could do a plugin to dix this, but I think that I’ll just remove this code for now.

Thanks for all the help!

So what would be the way to resolve this? How do you get the pages from the URL?

Ok. I’ve been playing around with this some more and here’s what I’ve found.

If you go to /category/news the pagination works fine. But the category/blog is a combination of three different categories. So in my archive.php I have:

if (is_category('Blog')) {	query_posts('cat=1,3,4'); }
while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Is there a better way I should be doing this?

Ah, I was able to resolve this by using get_pages and sort_column as one of the params.
See: https://wordpress.taragana.net/nav.html?wp-includes/post.php.source.html#l1014

For more info.

I just tried those and they do not work either…

Any ideas why those would not work?

Thanks.

Actually, I am using get_posts to get pages (post_type=page). So you would assume it would work. But we all know what assuming can do. ??

I guess this should be filed as a bug then, or the codex updated? Or is there another way that I should be getting pages in this manner?

get_posts('post_type=page&post_parent=80&orderby=menu_order&numberposts=');

Thanks!

Nothing on that page specifically says that, but there is a line that says “Note: The $orderby value can be the name of any field in the wp_posts table.”

And menu_order is a column in the wp_posts table.

Hi. I am having the same problem. It’d be great if this were fixed! Thanks.

Ah. Cancel that.

Your code for showing only on specific pages needs to be updated some. I am including the WP files from NAVT into some static pages that I have with WOZ (The zencart plugin).

Your code on lines 84-91 in app/navt_fe.php were causing the problem.

Perhaps adding a value for “Display Everywhere” would be useful.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Actually, I found that when you redirect to a specific page that’s broken when you update the above line, so I have changed the lines to read:

if ($members_only_opt['redirect_to'] == 'specifypage') {
                $home = get_bloginfo('url'); //Get base URL or WordPress install
        } else {
                $home = get_bloginfo('wpurl'); //Get base URL or WordPress install
        }

Hi, Can anyone help out with this? I’d love to use this plugin, but it’s very frustrating to always have ‘1’ highlighted.

Thanks!

Incase anyone else needs this. Here’s the code I used:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'page',
	'numberposts' => 4,
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'post_parent' => 33, // any parent
	);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
//print_r("attachements:" . $attachements);
if ($attachments) {
	foreach ($attachments as $post) { ?>
		<li class="i_read" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br/>
	<?php
		$the_excerpt = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '1lineblurb', $single = true);
		if ($the_excerpt != '') { echo($the_excerpt); }// if: filename not blank
	}
}
?>

Hi,

You can upload the pulgin:

This will give you a widget on for the sidebar to use, no code needed. Just upload and go.

Thanks,

Hmmm. Sorry about that! I haven’t really updated that plugin for quite a while. Just been keeping it working with the new versions of WP.

I’ll try and take some time this week to update the plugin to use the new AJAX Search API that you describe.
