"Template Block" wish

Post by Harald Weingaertner »

Hello,

i use template blocks (i hope this is the correct name for the german plugin generating those blocks: [s9y-include-entry:XXX:YYY]

I have defined 3 blocks and would like to see them in the editor. Maybe above the editing window as drop-down bar? I always have to look into the plugin about the correct formatting and the content of each block.

Much more comfortable would be to insert the blocks in the editor as dropdown with a small description.

Just an idea and because i am not able to do it, i ask here.

Regards, Harald

Hi!

That would mean to create a dropdown with all the titles of all of your serendipity entries...that would be both very long over time, and very performance intensive...

Maybe attach a sticky note to your monitor? ;) Or use a firefox extension to let you add notes to specific URLs, or a sticky note firefox extension? :)

Best regards,

LOL ;-) Thats exactly what i wanted. Just in electronic form ;) I have the blocks on my adminstartpage and switch between the pages, but if this solution is performance sensitive i really will use paper and a pen :)

Thanks
