Textpattern Support Forum

Welcome to the forum, Lucas!

I’m afraid we need a little more info on what you want to achieve, in order to provide you with an optimum solution. Are you simply making a decision on a CMS choice, or do you have TXP installed and want to solve something special?

Would this client-updatable info be article/product related (—> simply use TXP’s very own custom fields, a core feature, no plugin required), or author related (—> try plugin smd_bio), or shall it have no predefined, fixed relation to anything other than what the author actually gives it by placing it somewhere (—> adi_variables, mck_snippet or even TXP’s output_form)? … There are so many more use cases, needs and characteristics I’ve not thought of.

Yes, you can do that with adi_variables:

1. Just create a field for twitter_username and a field for typekit_id in the Content > Variables tab.
2. Include <txp:output_form form="adi_variables" /> at the top of your page template.
3. In your page template include <txp:variable name="variable_name" /> where you want the variable inserted, e.g.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://use.typekit.com/<txp:variable name="typekit_id" />.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>

or:

<p>Follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/<txp:variable name="twitter_username" />">twitter</a>.</p>

Guys,one more thing just out of curiosity…

Is it possible to use Markdown instead of Textile?

I see. Thanks!
