hello everyone.
I've just released a new version of the MagTags library at http://
www.noodleglue.org/noodleglue/magtags.html
The new release is now a Magnolia module, which makes it a lot
easier to install. I've also fixed some bugs (including a bad one
which could cause the wrong pages to be iterated in the PageIterator
tag). PageIterator has been renamed to TreeIterator to avoid
confusion with the built-in Magnolia PageIterator tag and it's now
much more powerful - you can specify an iteration order based on a
property of the page, for instance (even metadata like the
modification date).
I'd be interested to see if anyone finds them any use.
Thanks to Kevin Smith for submitting an earlier patch to some of the
incompatibilities with Magnolia 3 - and sorry it took so long to get
this out the door.
As an aside - most of the tags in magnolia retrieve pages and nodes
and properties and store them in a user-specified variable, whereas
the equivalent Magnolia tags generally set the "active page".
Personally, I find the "active page" method quite confusing and
difficult to use, because you need to remember to restore the active
page, and you can't easily nest loops etc. I'm wondering why the
magnolia tags choose to work this way - am I missing something
important in the way that Magnolia works somehow and wasting my time
here ?
Also - i tried editing the wiki to add a reference, but I don't seem
to be able to log in - is there a problem with it at the moment ?
