Replacement Tags Helper

[Goran]

Very simple and helpful hack... display Replacement Tags in admin area (in left column). You can copy (on click) Replacement Tag value into the clipboard (meaning you just CTRL-V to paste).

UPDATED! (Dec. 28, 2006)
Updated by flip-flop with new replacement tags.

UPDATED! (Aug. 11, 2006)
Script is upgraded again, I added the call to the tooltips with short instruction for each tag. Just move your mouse over tag name and tooltip appears.
Also, reduced script size 11kb.

UPDATED! (Sep. 27, 2005)
Added modification by Rick(rtilghman)..now Replacement Tags Helper is displayed only in the admin section where admin work on the site or in the article sections.
Added some new tags and reduced script size from 16 to 10 kb.

UPDATED! (Nov. 17, 2004)
Added modification by Neelix..now GT MOD section of Replacement Tags Helper could display the actual styles that admin has set up.

UPDATED! (Oct. 27, 2004)
Added Replacement Tags for Company Mod.

ouhm maybe we could enhance this script by simply linking directly from the replacement tags listing to the docu.fhss.de page ?!? explanation of the concerned tag ?

I think this was very nice...

Hi Goran, nice tool.

Next would be to click on the RT and copy them in the editing article

Thanks Goran - just one little change needed to install.txt for PHP newbies

should

[ ADD BETWEEN "<?" AND "</td>" ]

be

[ ADD BETWEEN "?>" AND "</td>" ]

Thanks again,
JP

[Goran]

Thank you guys!

sigaq, thanks....fixed.

brans, good suggestion, but i don't know how.

cyrano, just uploaded new version with possibility to click on the Replacement Tags Button and copy them in the editing area .

Hi Goran,

that's great.

I uploaded the new version, can click, but nothing more happens... using IE.

How to use it exactly?

I will play a bit more...

Thanks for this nice little thing.

Ok, new version is out, removed possibility to click on the Replacement Tags Button and copy code in the editing area (works only with html textarea) .
-------------------------------------------------

Now you can copy (on click) Replacement Tag value into the clipboard (meaning you just CTRL-V to paste).

1. Click on the Replacement Tag (it should select and copy the code to the clipboard),
2. Paste (CTRL-V) the value into the textarea.

What's so cool about this? It saves the user from having to highlight and manually select the input, which saves time, saves keystrokes, mouseclicks and movements, and reduces the chance of an incomplete select.

NOTE:
Works in IE5+, for Firefox, Opera or Mozilla user Replacement Tag is only highlighted on click.

Great mod Goran!

Another suggestion for you - perhaps the {GT:style} section of your mod could display the actual styles that admin has set up ?

All the best,
JP

Sigag, good suggestion but this is out of my knowledge...maybe someone else can create database driven "Replacement Tags Helper"..

Only just found this...really great idea, I'll take a look at this and see what I can do with it.

The documentation at http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/index.php?english_version is so this would be a useful addition for all phpwcms users....

Cheers

Great mod! Very useful.

Another suggestion for you - perhaps the {GT:style} section of your mod could display the actual styles that admin has set up ?

OK - here is it:

1'st: download the mod by Goran!

---[open]---
tags.php
---[find]---
<input class="input_tags" accesskey="x" style="width:165; height:18px;" onfocus="if(window.fExample) window.fExample(this)"
onclick="if(window.fExample) window.fExample(this);" value="{GT:style} &raquo; Hello!{/GT}">
---[replace]---

Code: Select all

<?php 

  function getGTStyles()
   {
      global $db;
		//the stylnames are stored in the table: [phpwcms_fonts_styles] as style_name
		$sQuery = 'SELECT style_name FROM '.DB_PREPEND.'phpwcms_fonts_styles ORDER BY style_name';

      if (isset($db) && $db)
          $hResult = mysql_query($sQuery, $db);
      else
          $hResult = mysql_query($sQuery);

		$ret=array();

		while ($row=mysql_fetch_object($hResult))
		{
   	   $ret[]=$row->style_name;;
		}

               //update this
		if (!$ret)
		{
			$ret[]='<stylename>'; //if no style is defined the result is the generic name! 
		}

      return $ret;
   }

	$sStyles=getGTStyles();
	for ($i=0;$i<count($sStyles);$i++)
	{
    echo '<input class="input_tags" accesskey="x" style="width:165; height:18px;" onfocus="if(window.fExample) window.fExample(this)"';
    echo 'onclick="if(window.fExample) window.fExample(this);" value="{GT:'.$sStyles[$i].'}Example!{/GT}">';
	}

 ?>

cry if something goes wrong or unclear (not so loud please)
