Done.

Thanks for your advises. I have done that :

I have try Firefox after IE and it makes the same

I have not try asking someone who has never logged into try and do so as a Level 2 user because I don’t know someone I can trust (If you have time for us, I can create you an access level 2)

I have disabled all plugins and it makes almost the same. The only difference is that as an admin, I can see now the 84 first pages (there are others I can’t see). As a user level 2, I always can see, edit, delete all pages.

Have you got an idea to try ?

What a usefull answer !

I need the same thing… and I can’t find anywhere any solution… This parameter seems so needed and obvious for wp-archives…

One silly question : If I DON’T want to upload in the wp-content folder, but in another one, I can’t anymore ???!!!
It’s rare when a 0.2 makes less think than a 1.5, isn’t it ?

My server is in safe mode and I can’t anymore upload anything… Why a simple upgrade makes things so ugly ?!

Yeeeeees ! I’m simply the best. See :

To truncate pages titles in the admin dropdown menu, make this :

1. Put this function in a plugin called “heisthebest.php” :

function tronquer($admin_titre) {
$MAX_LENGTH = 45;
$TERMINATOR = ‘ …’;

if(strlen($admin_titre) > $MAX_LENGTH){
$parts = explode(‘ ‘, $admin_titre);
$admin_titre = “”;
$i = 0;

while(strlen($admin_titre) < $MAX_LENGTH && $i < count($parts)){
if(strlen($parts[$i]) + strlen($admin_titre) > $MAX_LENGTH){
return $admin_titre . $TERMINATOR;
} else {
$admin_titre .= ‘ ‘ . $parts[$i];
$i++;
}
}

return $admin_titre . $TERMINATOR;
} else{
return $admin_titre;
}
}

(thanks to truncate title plugin : https://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/truncate-title/ / I have only change some parameters names and erase the last line whitch make bugs in our case)

2. Activate the plugin !

3. Go in wp-admin/admin-functions.php and replace this function :

function parent_dropdown($default = 0, $parent = 0, $level = 0) {
global $wpdb, $post_ID;
$items = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, post_parent, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parent AND post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY menu_order”);

if ($items) {
foreach ($items as $item) {
// A page cannot be it’s own parent.
if (!empty($post_ID)) {
if ($item->ID == $post_ID) {
continue;
}
}
$pad = str_repeat(‘ ‘, $level * 3);
if ($item->ID == $default)
$current = ‘ selected=”selected”‘;
else
$current = ”;

echo “\n\t<option value=’$item->ID’$current>$pad $item->post_title</option>”;
parent_dropdown($default, $item->ID, $level + 1);
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

whith this one :

function parent_dropdown($default = 0, $parent = 0, $level = 0) {
global $wpdb, $post_ID;
$items = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, post_parent, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parent AND post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY menu_order”);

if ($items) {
foreach ($items as $item) {
// A page cannot be it’s own parent.
if (!empty($post_ID)) {
if ($item->ID == $post_ID) {
continue;
}
}
$pad = str_repeat(‘ ‘, $level * 3);
if ($item->ID == $default)
$current = ‘ selected=”selected”‘;
else
$current = ”;

// HAPAX CHANGES

$titre = $item->post_title;
$titre = tronquer($titre);

echo “\n\t<option value=’$item->ID’$current>$pad $titre</option>”;
parent_dropdown($default, $item->ID, $level + 1);

// FIN HAPAX CHANGES

}
} else {
return false;
}
}

And now you have a great little select menu of your pages titles ! ??

J’ai fait peur ?? tout le monde ! :-))

Yes. I have try to apply the truncate title function (from the same name plugin) to this wp-function, but it doesn’t work… :

function tronquer_admin_titres($admin_titre) {
$MAX_LENGTH = 45;
$TERMINATOR = ‘ …’;

if(strlen($admin_titre) > $MAX_LENGTH){
$parts = explode(‘ ‘, $admin_titre);
$admin_titre = “”;
$i = 0;

while(strlen($admin_titre) < $MAX_LENGTH && $i < count($parts)){
if(strlen($parts[$i]) + strlen($admin_titre) > $MAX_LENGTH){
return $admin_titre . $TERMINATOR;
} else {
$admin_titre .= ‘ ‘ . $parts[$i];
$i++;
}
}

return $admin_titre . $TERMINATOR;
} else{
return $admin_titre;
}
}

add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘tronquer_admin_titres’);

(I have change names to not truncate every titles in my site !)

So with this function in an activate plugin, I have change in admin-function.php the original parent_dropdown function with :

function parent_dropdown($default = 0, $parent = 0, $level = 0) {
global $wpdb, $post_ID;
$items = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, post_parent, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parent AND post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY menu_order”);

if ($items) {
foreach ($items as $item) {
// A page cannot be it’s own parent.
if (!empty($post_ID)) {
if ($item->ID == $post_ID) {
continue;
}
}
$pad = str_repeat(‘ ‘, $level * 3);
if ($item->ID == $default)
$current = ‘ selected=”selected”‘;
else
$current = ”;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////:
$item = tronquer_admin_titres($item);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

echo “\n\t<option value=’$item->ID’$current>$pad $item->post_title</option>”;
parent_dropdown($default, $item->ID, $level + 1);
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

I’m not a code killer, so it can be simply a quote problem ! I just touch and look… since the beginning.

Yes it’s a solution, but not “clean”. I want something more intuitive for authors. You think it’s technicaly impossible to truncate titles generate by this function ?

Here is apparently the function whitch displays the pages tree :

function parent_dropdown($default = 0, $parent = 0, $level = 0) {
global $wpdb, $post_ID;
$items = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, post_parent, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parent AND post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY menu_order”);

if ($items) {
foreach ($items as $item) {
// A page cannot be it’s own parent.
if (!empty($post_ID)) {
if ($item->ID == $post_ID) {
continue;
}
}
$pad = str_repeat(‘ ‘, $level * 3);
if ($item->ID == $default)
$current = ‘ selected=”selected”‘;
else
$current = ”;

echo “\n\t<option value=’$item->ID’$current>$pad $item->post_title</option>”;
parent_dropdown($default, $item->ID, $level + 1);
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

in admin-functions.php
Now the challenge is to truncate… Oulala !…

No. It’s not possible, because when title are display at another place in the site, they must be complete. University has got rigid codes that we can’t break.

I absolutely need this functionnality. No one knows the javascript trick for that ? :-O

I can’t because titles are scientific article titles, and so they must have a certain form. You can see the problem on public side here :

https://www.cometes.org/index.php

(all is manage with wordpress)

The “num??ros” of the revue are “Pages” : https://www.cometes.org/revue/numeros/

Do you know how to fix ? I’m trying since 2 days and I don’t succed :-(.

So no one knows how to transmit a $variable on wordpress with permalinks. Me neither.

You’re right. I have try. 2 content id is not working.
Thankx a lot anyway for your help on all my topics (:-)).
