I am also new to this plugin but an “all tables” option is something that will be a big improvement, thanks

In reply to: [Taxonomy Picker] Category OrderHi Graham
I don’t answer support queries here – please take any follow up at http://www.squidoo.com/taxonomy-picker-wordpress-plugin as per the advice in the plugin.
You don’t say whether you are using basic or beta/premium (turned on via the admin option in Silverghyll -> Taxonomy Picker -> “Use beta/premium widget (see notes)in your dashboard)”. But in this case it doesn’t matter.
At present there is no way through the front end of changing the order of categories. It can be done with custom taxonomies but not categories. The problem is that categories a very complex in the plugin because of the option to include or exclude a list of categories. I think the code might be able to handle it. I will take a look but it won’t be until the end of next week / next weekend because I have other commitments until then. Sorry.
PS This isn’t the best place for support queries – the plugin home site is where I monitor comments.
The second part is needed for remembering queries if that is turned on. The first part of the query cannot be used as it goes through the rewrite rules process so /?tax1=xxx tends to become /tax1/xxx So the only way to preserve the query (without using sessions or cookies) is the extra part in the URL. Since cookies in the UK (indeed Europe) can no longer be used without upfront permission, I don’t want to use cookies and sessions are notoriously difficult in WP (and possibly not entirely reliable). So it may look redundant, but for now it is the best way I have found of doing it. If your turn “Remember query” off, the second part goes away.
I am wanting drill down for my site so that’s towards the front of the development list. I suspect I may try (and offer) various alternatives. I don’t think the first will offer dynamic counting.
Custom post types? Like authors, something that would be nice to have but really I need to re-write the widget display as a class before it makes sense looking at those. I re-structured the code somewhat in v1.8, and rather more in v.1.9. It may soon transfer across to a class without too much trouble. At that point, I can start adding on things like custom post types.

In reply to: [Taxonomy Picker] [Plugin: Taxonomy Picker] Fatal errorIt was a problem in the upload to the repository. Sorry. File is now present and the plugin working (was within half an hour).
Fixed.
Taxonomy Picker builds a standard WordPress URL for the query which then is left to WP to handle. Pretty permalinks breaks that.
I missed this because I don’t really look here for queries. I will look at this in 1.6

In reply to: [Taxonomy Picker] taxonomy-picker error on activationI believe you are running PHP4?
Since WP 3.2 will require PHP 5 and will be released in a few weeks I have taken the view that new development (and this release added a lot of extra code should be in PHP5. The code which is failing for you is PHP5 specific.
I think the solution is to ensure you are running PHP5. I guess getting ahead of the curve it was inevitable that somebody would have a problem. Please get back to me if PHP5 doesn’t resolve your problem.
Sorry,

In reply to: [Taxonomy Picker] [Plugin: Taxonomy Picker] Tags brokenSorry I don’t tend to look on here very often. I don’t use tags so that hasn’t been tested as well as the rest of the plugin. I’ll take a look for you over the next week or so. It sounds as though a fix is needed.
I can see that it might be useful to use the slug as an alternative. That is a fairly minor change so I’ll get that done. Thanks for the suggestion.
Remembering the query for drill down is more difficult as the plugin is designed to take the user to the standard search form for the theme in use. By that time, the form details are no longer available but I could build something from the URI. The truth is that until we get WP3.1 which (hopefully) will handle queries across multiple custom taxonomies that drill down isn’t very useful. It’s something I do want on my own site and will add to the plugin, I just think I’m better waitaing a few months.
For some reason it was treating the Version as par of the description text not as a version number. I’ve fixed but – just don’t ask me why it wasn’t seeing it.
I believe I have fixed the PHP Warning. I agree with you about PHP errors. One thing I would love is proper PHP Error handler as part of WordPress trunk. I might do it as a pligin because it is quite hard to do – error handling needs to be buffered unto the Headers have been sent.
Create the folders manually before installing the plugin.
