<h1>Storyline Basics</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A word before you go any further: For <em>ComicPress Core</em> to work properly, <strong>posts can only be in one category!</strong>
|
||||
<em>ComicPress Core</em> will reject any post in more than one category. If you want to put your posts in additional taxonomies, <strong>use tags</strong>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Child Category Ordering</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A <strong>storyline</strong> in <em>ComicPress Core</em> parlance is a set of ordered, structured categories.
|
||||
By default, categories in WordPress maintain only parent to child relationships — a category knows if it has a parent, and what that parent is. See the category list below:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>My Comics</strong> has no parent. It's at the root of the hierarchy.</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>My Funny Comic</strong> has a parent. It's the <em>My Comics</em> category.</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Chapter One</strong> has a parent. It's the <em>My Funny Comic</em> category.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>My Serious Comic</strong> has a parent. It's the <em>My Comics</em> category.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
While WordPress stores parent/child relationships, it does not store the order of all of the children underneath of a parent (the siblings). It always sorts them alphabetically by name.
|
||||
This is bad for Websites that want to run structured sequential creative works, as that means you'd have to name your categories in a way that would cause them to sort
|
||||
alphabetically, making the names nonsensical:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>My Comics</strong> will be first, because it has no siblings.</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>01: My Funny Comic</strong> will sort first, because <em>01</em> is less than <em>02</em>.</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>01: Chapter One</strong> will be first, because it has no siblings.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>02: My Serious Comic</strong> will sort second, because <em>02</em> is greater than <em>01</em>.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>ComicPress Core</em> allows you to sort your categories in any order, and that order is stored within <em>ComicPress Core</em>'s own configuration.
|
||||
This would allow you to ensure that <strong>My Funny Comic</strong> always appears before <strong>My Serious Comic</strong>,
|
||||
no matter how many children <strong>My Comics</strong> has.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Extending WordPress to Know About Sort Ordering</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In order for theme developers to be able to access this sort ordering information, <em>ComicPress Core</em> provides two template tags called <code>SL()</code> and <code>SC()</code>
|
||||
to retrieve information about the structure of categories. It's a much richer interface than WordPress's provided interface, because they always return hierarchical information:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre class="prettyprint lang-php">
|
||||
foreach (SL() as $category_id => $info) {
|
||||
$category = get_category($category_id);
|
||||
printf('Category %d is %d levels deep', $category->name, $info['level']);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// by default, SC() returns categories relative to the current post
|
||||
$next = SC('next');
|
||||
$previous = SC('previous');
|
||||
$parent = SC('parent');
|
||||
|
||||
// or you can provide a category to be relative to
|
||||
$next_from_three = SC('next', 3);
|
||||
$previous_to_chapter_four = SC('previous', 'chapter-four');
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Finding and Using Posts</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since <em>ComicPress Core</em> knows about the structure of your storyline, you can use <em>ComicPress Core</em>'s advanced post search template tags to search subsets of your categories.
|
||||
This is where a cool interactive goes that illustrates this complex process.

<h2>SL() and SC()</h2>

<h1>Storyline Traversal Template Tags</h1>

<p>
|

<em>ComicPress Core</em> provides functions for traversing the storyline categories themselves.
|
||||
These are used to find the adjacent (previous, next, parent) categories of a particular category, and to
|
||||
find how deep in the hierarchy a category is located.
