PHP counter plugin?

Hi,
I use a php based counter on my website that requires the following code to display a count on a webpage:
<?php
require "/srv/www/htdocs/COUNTER/phpcounter.php
?>
Is there anyway to work this into a plugin (I'm not too brilliant at php programming)?
Or is there a way to use it in the HTML snippet plugin (it wouldn't work for me).
Thanks in advance
Robin

1. Create a folder called serendipity_plugin_pluginname in the plugins/ folder.
2. Create a file called serendipity_plugin_pluginname.php within the folder you created in Step 1.
3. Add this code to the file you created in Step 2.
Code: Select all
<?php
class serendipity_plugin_pluginname extends serendipity_plugin {
function introspect(&$propbag)
{
$propbag->add('name', 'Plugin Name');
$propbag->add('description', 'Plugin Description');
}
function generate_content(&$title)
{
$title = "Plugin Title";
require ("/path/to/file");
}
}
?>
: Make sure you change all instances of
pluginname with the actual name you want for your plugin.

Is it correct that I have to change all things that I marked red? What do I have to fill in for /path/to/file ?

Yes, those places are right.
Replace /path/to/file with the location of the PHP script you want to embed. Like /www/htdocs/myhost/counter.php or so.
Also note that this posting was made in 2004 - now we already have a generic plugin called "serendipity_event_externalphp" which allows to include a PHP file with a simple configuration item of the plugin. That plugin is available in our plugin repository on CVS/spartacus.
