Serendipity Forums

Hi, any interest in a new event plugin for inserting HTML blocks into entry content? Think of it as an HTML macro, e.g.

article text article text {replacer block1} article text

to insert the nugget called "block1" in the article.

I use it to insert inline google ads, but it could be used for all sorts of purposes. It's stackable for multiple nuggets.

Of course, there might be a plugin that does this already (it's pretty basic) but I haven't found it.

One last thing - how would I go about getting this released to Spartacus, if there is any interest?

P.S. I've not been using Serendipity long, but it's a nice system to work with. The plugin framework is particularly nice Great stuff!

Hi!

Have you had a look at the serendipity_event_includeentry plugin? It also allows to include HTML blocks...? It's available via Spartacus ("Include Entry / Blocks" or something like that) - and might be just what you're looking for?

One last thing - how would I go about getting this released to Spartacus, if there is any interest?

Plugins you'd like to contribute can be announced here, and will be discussed for inclusion - usually we put all plugins in there that adhere to certain coding guidelines (PEAR style), have no obvious security issues and do not duplicate functionality.

P.S. I've not been using Serendipity long, but it's a nice system to work with. The plugin framework is particularly nice Great stuff!

Very nice to hear that! I'm looking forward to your help and plugin contributions.

Best regards,

Ah, I see it: "Markup: Include entry data/templates/blocks".

Yes, it looks like that would do what I wanted. Ah well, I've got my own now, and it was a good exercise in plugin development.

If I feel a need for any other missing function I'll be sure to knock something together and contribute it.
