Avoid using a tag as parameter value for another tag in ExpressionEngine

Instead of this:

{exp:channel:entries param="{exp:some:plugin}"}
	...
{/exp:channel:entries}

Either use an embed, like this:

This Is Absolutely Tiring

Every time I start a node module, or a new JS project, I'm confronted with this same question: how do I structure it to allow it to be used in the browser or nodejs, without requiring a build step, and without getting in the way of my development?

While developing, I typically create some type of [browser-based environment][]; Firebug and Web Inspector are still miles ahead of anything else we've got. Ideally I want to be able to add a file via a script tag, and have that be the only requirement.

As @visionmedia [points out][], this is [ridiculous][].

This gist is meant to compile all of the various ways I've seen of guarding against/for a variety of module systems. Fork it and add your own, I'll try to bring them into this one.

ExpressionEngine .htaccess/Apache conf

Please use these at your own risk. I cannot be responsible for having no idea what I am doing and breaking your server.

This is a collection of Apache configuration settings that I use in my ExpressionEngine projects. Since I have always been a big fan of the HTML5 Boilerplate I took inspiration from their .htaccess file and tweaked my configuration with other settings I have used over the years.

This gist contains:

_EXTENDED.htaccess This is a general .htaccess file I rename and edit as needed for each site. Note: When I host a site on my prad/stage/dev servers I move most or all of these rules into the vhost.conf file
_SAMPLE.httpd.conf I use Ubuntu on my development, staging, and production servers so this is specific to Apache 2 on my setup. Essentially this file extends the apache2.conf (in my setup).

Script to sync a Google SpreadSheet to a Fusion Table

Save for a few legacy projects that still use Fusion Tables I don't actively use this script anymore. This update hopefully solves the OAuth issue that cropped up once Google depcricated the Client Login method used by the prior version.

As always, your mileage may vary, and I welcome someone -- Google or otherwise -- to offer a long-term maintained solution.

The following is largely cribbed from a Google example here. I try to explain some of the API settings that must be enabled in the Developer's Console and elsewhere

	{!-- embed page template --}
	{embed="site/_page"
	hide_site_title="{embed:hide_site_title}"
	body_class="p-default"
	}

	{!-- get channel data --}
	{exp:channel:entries
	limit="1"
	entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"

	{
	"sublimelinter_mark_style": "fills",
	"csslint_options":
	{
	"adjoining-classes": false,
	"box-model": false,
	"box-sizing": "warning",
	"compatible-vendor-prefixes": "warning",
	"display-property-grouping": true,
	"duplicate-background-images": "warning",

	ko.applyBindings({
	fastClickResult: ko.observable("Waiting..."),
	clickResult: ko.observable("Waiting..."),
	handleClick: function(self, event) {
	self.clickResult("Clicked!");
	},
	handleFastClick: function(self, event) {
	self.fastClickResult("Fast Clicked!");
	}
	});

	First I'm using the Low Variables Single tag to pull in a Textarea var type for the country-specific header,
	using the preparse: paramter to pass the {lang} and {segment_1} vars...

	<div id="header">
	{exp:low_variables:single var="lv_header_{lang}" preparse:lang="{lang}" preparse:segment_1="{segment_1}"}
	</div>

	Then inside the above {lv_header_{lang}} var, I have the country-specific logo, contact info, nav menu, etc.
	For the nav menu, I'm using a Low Variables Pair tag to output a nested Playa var type...

	{exp:stash:set type="snippet"}

	{stash:search_header}
	<input type="hidden" name="current_page" value="{current_page}" />
	<input type="hidden" name="total_pages" value="{total_pages}" />
