How To GT Enable This?

Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 2:52 pm

Hi

I've got most of my site GT enabled, but I ran into 1 stupid stickler.

How do you GT encode this?

$url = sprintf("modules.php?name=Surveys&op=results&pollID=%d", $pollID);

The %d (for increasing the count by using the sprintf function) and comma is screwing me all up.

(See blocks-Survey.php)

Thanks

Do you need both the header and .htaccess code?

Well, my thought is if I had either, I could figure out the other.

I tried:
In:
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Surveys&op=results&pollID=([0-9]*)'",

Out:
"survey-results-\\1.html",

htaccess:
RewriteRule ^survey-results-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Surveys&op=results&pollID=$1 [L]

To no avail.

It looks like this is how the output properties are, but I'm assuming the sprintf string and %d, are messing up the works.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Okay, 1 more once you figure out that one:

I got my Calendar module GT'd including the Print friendly function; however, one thing that I noticed is that this section is not GT'd inside (meaning links in the popup window don't retain GT properties from the module.)

I suspect that as this function is operating by not loading the entire page, it doesn't have the GT associations as it is not actually running in the module.

How would I go about enabling GT links inside the popup, short of having to rewrite (hardcode) all of the variables, which could really be a task to accomplish as it uses dynamic "input" methods in the code itself.

You can see what I mean by visiting http://64bit.us/calendar.html

After the demise of Event Calendar, I've been looking for an alternative that has been tapped with GT NextGen. Appears you got it........would you be so kind as to post your GT.php and .htaccess entries so far?

The %d simply makes the value an integer w/o rounding (4.8 becomes 4 - 'union' becomes 0). So, just rewrite the code from

Code:

$url = sprintf("modules.php?name=Surveys&amp;op=results&amp;pollID=%d", $pollID);

to

Code:

$url = "modules.php?name=Surveys&amp;op=results&amp;pollID=".(int) $pollID;

Or you could do this

Code:

<?


$pollID = (int) $pollID;


$url = "modules.php?name=Surveys&amp;op=results&amp;pollID=$pollID;


?>

Here is a little script to show POC

Code:

<?


echo "<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\" border=\"1\">";


$pollID = 'union';


echo '<tr><td>$pollID before conversion to Integer</td><td>'.$pollID.'</td></tr>';


$pollID = (int) $pollID;


echo '<tr><td>$pollID after conversion to Integer</td><td>'.$pollID.'</td></tr>';


echo '<tr><td>$url value using sprintf</td><td>'.sprintf("modules.php?name=Surveys&amp;op=results&amp;pollID=%d", $pollID).'</td></tr>';


echo '<tr><td>$url value using converted code</td><td>'."modules.php?name=Surveys&amp;op=results&amp;pollID=$pollID</td></tr>";


echo "</table>";


?>
