Sorry, but…

No.
No. Tab. Is. Link.
Not going to happen, as the scripts are scripts. Usually including dynamic stuff. The files would anyway need to be saved as PHP files, that just happens to kill the idea. If you need an static file on your server, best practice is just to create it, or is it.

Nice. And great real life usage example too ;)

Sorry to be dense… but I’m not sure I understand what this plugin does… is it like outputting a form? Could you give a more detailed usage scenario?

Hi Dale,

Maybe the way to think about this plugin (for me anyway) is that it will help with the integration of a txp install with other installs you my have.

ie. Add the tags you need in the rah external output which in it turn generates a url which can be used in another site/install. In my case, I am maintaining 2 sites using 3 txp installs and a punBB forum. I am planning to create templates which can be used in all 4 places by simply adding <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "http://my-txp-site.tld/?rah_external_output=template1"); ?>

Currently I’m using the above by wasting sections and creating unnecessary clutter in txp.

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

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.

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=|

[…]

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.

Gocom · 2009-06-08 05:19:02

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>
