rah_external_output

Gocom · 2009-05-10 08:05:15

A new version, 0.3, released. Changelog:

Fixed error caused by non-set $pretext.
Set $pretext indexes to empty: we are not on page template.

What I would like to hear is an example on how other content types could be incorporated.

Content-type is a content type. Mime. Media type. Thing that allows your code to generate different kind of files for different situations. For example text/xml is content type for xml file and so on…

The Arrange content-types interface is used to create a predefined list of content-types, to help the author to set them for the snippets. By creating the list of content-types, the content-type field in the snippet creation page will turn into a select field.

By default, if you don’t create or set content types to snippets, it defaults to text/html with utf-8 encoding (the default that txp sets).

Your latest fix did it! I really think that this plugin should be part of the core as it might soon become an indispensable addition to many installs.

Does anybody know how to exclude the external output from slimstat using wet’s plugin

I added http:\/\/www.domain.tld\/\?rah_external_output=my-output but the hits still show. Am I missing something?

>Edit: Maybe I should have posted this in wet’s thread.

Just missusing regular expressions. Examples:

|rah_external_ouput|
|\?rah_external_output|
|^\/\?rah_external_output=|

[…]

Great this is very useful.
Am using it to output my iCal feed and slideshow XML (rather then using up more sections).

FireFusion, I would love to know more about this if you have the time. I am trying to output content from a Google calendar into this page: www.beerrun.com/test. Used an rss feed program, but that only outputs events that already happened, not future events.

A new version 0.4 of rah_external_output released. Update comes with a bug fix. Changelog:

Fixed forgotten insert query escaping.

Change is as big as one word, doSlash. Somehow code missed it. I strongly recommend updating before using saving any output with the plugin’s editor.

Hi Gocom,

I can’t get this working with adi_gps no matter where i put it in the load order. Am trying to assign a category for my slideshow through get variable.

<txp:smd_gallery category='<txp:adi_gps name="image_cat" />'  limit="9999" sort="date">
{grouptagstart}
<image source="{id}{ext}" thumbnail="{id}t{ext}" title="{name}" description="{caption}" link="{alt}" />
{grouptagend}
</txp:smd_gallery>

	</contents>
</album>

Make sure that the GET variable is assigned into the slideshow script (and into the rah_external_output’s url).
Make sure that adi_gps is loaded before rah_external_output kills (load order is higher).
Make sure that adi_gps doesn’t use $pretext or etc. TXP’s global arrays. We are not on section page, so those aren’t set. Plugins are loaded before TXP’s $pretext global.

This is an awesome plugin. One warning: External output doesn’t work if your site’s production status is set to “Debugging”. I just spent 45 minutes trying to chase down a non-existent js bug or plugin collision with the site in “Debugging”— when I switched it to “Testing” or “Live” it worked perfectly again (this occurred in Textpattern 4.0.8).

If you use the plugin, you might get some “errors” specially in the Debugging mode. This is caused by the fact that the plugin outputs the content in a non section/any context. All plugins/code/tags that hook or do something that requires section or something similiar, might cause problems.

What is the error message?

Hi,
I’d like to use this plugin to display the dynamic navigation bar I use in my textpattern pages on external (static) php pages elsewhere in the same domain. So I’ve copied the form code and made an external snippet, which then looks OK through URL given via the ‘view’ link in the plugin.

My question is, how do I then pull that code into my php file, I tried…

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "http://my-txp-site.tld/?rah_external_output=nav-form"); ?>

…as suggested previously in this thread but it did seem not work. and also…

<?php include("http://my-txp-site.tld/?rah_external_output=template1"); ?>

…still no joy? Can you give me some help as I’m completely stuck!

Thanks,
Dan
