Getting taxonomy fields to show..... please :)

yes, no fields, arrays, tags or anything that is not coming from contemplate...

I am personally needing to display Image.mod, Userreview.mod and Category.mod in my nodes, but no luck using contemplate!

Maybe this could be turned into a more general feature request? :o

critical for me too anyway.. i am definitely willing to donate to anyone who could fix this!

Thank you

did some more testing:

seems that Contemplate picks some "random" variables from other non-CCK modules.
(To get to show those variables in the right field of Contemplate you need to install the module, activate it and associate it to the type you are building a template for)

For example:

• for Userreview.module it recognizes the submission form, but no way to output medium vote or reviews themselves.
• for Voting.module it just displays a completely unusefull $variable coming from the hook_settings

This issue is a total stop for this otherwise beautyfull module which basically plays well only with CCK and core. If you need more contrib modules to attach content to your nodes better opt for the good old node-content-type.tpl.php files.....pity

The ConTemplate module lists all of the attributes of the node object during the view phase of hook_nodeapi.

There are lots of modules "out there" that add information to the $node->body, but DO NOT add any information to the $node itself. For instance, IMO there should be $node->event_view for the information that normally gets prepended to $node->body.

You can create a patch for most modules by finding the module's implementation of hook_nodeapi (example event_nodeapi()) and finding a line that looks something like this:

$node->body .= $eventstuff;

or maybe:

$node->body = $eventstuff . $node->body;

and inserting a line something like this:

$node->eventstuff = $eventstuff;

just before it.

This way the $eventstuff will be available to ConTemplate separate from the body. It will show up in the listing within the template editing page and you can add it without having to call any special theme functions.

If you write these functions for these modules, PLEASE SUBMIT THEM as an issue for that module. This is the reason that ConTemplate is difficult to use with these modules.

Is this where you found content_taxonomy.module?

I guess I didn't realize that this was a CCK field/widget type rather than a full module. This would take an entirely different approach then.

I can't comment on it without spending more time with the code, so I can't say what sort of magic is going on here.

@jjeff: basically any other module that adds a form, widget or other "extra" to a node, is not rendered when activating Contemplate.

I tryed Userreview, Voting, Image and other diverse modules, but once i enable Contemplate all the other content added by these modules, and the forms or widgets necessary to submit these contents disappear.. :(

Any hint about how to make other contrib modules Contemplate-compatible would be greatly apreciated!

Thank you very much

kiteatlas, please read #5 above.

JJeff, #5 above makes much more sense to me today :)

i am actually playing with that and with

I've looked at the hook_nodeapi() for upload.module and If you're concerned about hacking a module, it looks like you can also call the theme function directly from your content template like this:

 print theme('upload_attachments', $files); 

and seems i am getting things to work!

Just a correction to what i wrote before:
seems that both Contemplate AND default node-content_type.tpl.php files present the same issue out-of-the-box. So unless you are not theming your CCK content-types in anyway, you will require these snippets to show other contrib modules forms and outputs.

Thank you for precious help!

jjeff: Thanks... you helped me figure out a fix for a totally unrelated but annoying problem I was having. :)

It seems that the problem has been fixed
