Comments

  • view_count is not working by default

    view_count apparently needs extra magick to work. Either by analyzing apache log in cronjob http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn.../the_cronjob_scripts#updateviewcount
    or if you want live updating this code from advancedforums extension (svn) could be helpful:

    count.php
    $Module =& $Params['Module'];
     
    if ( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] )
    {
            include_once( "kernel/classes/ezviewcounter.php");
            $counter = eZViewCounter::fetch( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] );
            if ( !is_object( $counter ) )
            {
                    $counter = eZViewCounter::create( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] );
            }
            $counter->increase();
    }
    eZExecution::cleanExit();
    
  • node.url vs node.url_alias

    this documentation is fairly vague about the difference between node.url and node.url_alias.

    node.url is 'depending on a configuration setting' - so is node.url_alias not ?

    node.url_alias is 'determined according to the list of prioritized languages' - so is node.url not ?

    a short test shows node.url also honors locales in its output .. if this is not 'determined according to the list of prioritized languages', how is it determined ?


  • node.is_invisible > node.is_hidden

    The doc above says
    is_invisible (...) The node's visibility status (0=visible, 1=hidden by superior).
    As far as I know and tested, thats wrong. "1" could mean "hidden" by a user or hidden by superiour. Only if its invisible, but not hidden, it must be hidden by superior.
