WordPress Article Template plugin fix

Scenario:
A week ago, I upgraded my blog version to the latest version 3.0 and installed few plugins into this blog.
Found a very useful plugins call Article Templates that contribute by Binny V A.

Enables template support for posts and pages. You can see all existing templates in the Manage Templates page.

But found that the plugin does not work as expected. It does not save the template and the whole plugin is not usable.
No choices, I have to debug into WordPress & Article Template plugin in order to make it work for me.
Found the problem due to the “template” does not register as a post type.

So I added in the a line command in order to make it works.


Solution:

View Code PHP
<?php
include('wpframe.php');
wpframe_stop_direct_call(__FILE__);
 
if(isset($_POST['action'])) {
        //FIX BY myhow2guru.com
        // Some Correction that point out by b. murphy. Appreciate that.
        register_post_type( 'template', array(
		'public'  => false,
		'_builtin' => true, /* internal use only. don't use this when registering your own post type. */
	) );
	//FIX BY myhow2guru.com END
 
	if($_POST['action'] == 'edit') {
 
		if(!isset($_POST['menu_order'])) $_POST['menu_order'] = 0;
		else { //If the post of any template is set to 1, that is the default template. Set all others to 0
			$wpdb->get_results("UPDATE {$wpdb->posts} SET menu_order='0' WHERE post_type='template' AND post_author='{$current_user->ID}'");
		}
 
		edit_post();
 
	} elseif($_POST['action'] == 'new') {
		wp_write_post();
	}
}
?><div class="wrap">
<h2><?php e("Manage Templates"); ?></h2>
 
<?php
wp_enqueue_script( 'listman' );
wp_print_scripts();
?>
 
<table class="widefat">
	<thead>
	<tr>
		<th scope="col"><div style="text-align: center;">ID</div></th>
		<th scope="col">Title</th>
		<th scope="col">Author</th>
		<th scope="col">Created on</th>
		<th scope="col" colspan="3">Action</th>
	</tr>
	</thead>
 
	<tbody id="the-list">
<?php
// Retrieve the templates
$templates = templates_get_users_templates($current_user->ID);
 
if (count($templates)) {
	$bgcolor = '';
	$class = ('alternate' == $class) ? '' : 'alternate';
 
	foreach($templates as $template) {
		print "<tr id='post-{$template->ID}' class='$class'>\n";
		$user_info = get_userdata($template->post_author);
		?>
		<th scope="row" style="text-align: center;"><?=$template->ID ?></th>
		<td><?=$template->post_title ?></td>
		<td><?=apply_filters('the_author', $user_info->display_name) ?></td>
		<td><?=date(get_option('date_format') . ' ' . get_option('time_format'), strtotime($template->post_date)) ?></td>
		<td><a href='post-new.php?template=<?=$template->post_name?>' class='edit' title='<?=__('Create a new post using this template')?>'><?=__('New Post')?></a></td>
		<td><a href='edit.php?page=article-templates/template_form.php&amp;action=edit&amp;template=<?=$template->ID?>' class='edit'><?= __('Edit'); ?></a></td>
		<td><?php
			$link = "post.php?action=delete&amp;post=$template->ID";
			if (function_exists('wp_nonce_url')) {
				$link = wp_nonce_url($link, 'delete-post_' . $template->ID);
			}
		?><a href='<?=$link?>' class='delete' onclick="return confirm('<?php e(addslashes("You are about to delete this template '{$template->post_title}'. Press 'OK' to delete and 'Cancel' to stop."))?>');"><?=__('Delete')?></a></td>
<?php
		}
?>
	</tr> 
<?php
	} else {
?>
	<tr style='background-color: <?php echo $bgcolor; ?>;'>
		<td colspan="4"><?php e('No templates found.') ?></td>
	</tr>
<?php
}
?>
	</tbody>
</table>
 
<a href="edit.php?page=article-templates/template_form.php&amp;action=new"><?php e("Create New Template")?></a>
</div>

    I have made as you have written. The plug-in doesn’t save all the same

    I had the same issue @MrBoris. Move the myhow2guru fix up out of the if/elseif clause. This takes care of editing and creation.
