Sometimes you have content that you want to place onto a page that requires a bit of messy HTML, CSS and PHP coding. This can be very frustrating when there are multiple occurrences of said piece of content within your page, and when each occurrence requires something different about it. What is even worse is when the person who needs to manipulate this content isn't very confident with the above markup (HTML, CSS) and code (PHP) languages, yet they need to be able to edit the necessary pieces without breaking a crucial piece of the markup. Wouldn't it be great if GetSimple had such a function?
Other content management systems such as forums and Wordpress do have such functions, called BBCode and Shortcodes respectively, which allow for dynamic content to be output on pages without knowledge of the messy code that goes in beforehand. For example, on forums you can often place a link on the page by simply using [url][/url] tags instead of knowing how to use HTML anchors and p
Oleg06 of the GetSimple forums once asked about displaying certain content from a Special/Custom field based on whether or not the field is filled.
To do this, you simply form a conditional using the return_special_field function, checking that the result (a string) is non-empty:
<?php
if (return_special_field($field) !== '') {
// output
One feature that I thought was missing from the i18n News system is that of providing automatic archives for news results. However, such a feat is actually achievable with the current i18n Search plugin if you take a moment to think outside of the box...
Tags are the lifeblood of i18n Search. They are the key to filtering out your results to output exactly the kind of content that you are looking for and ordering them in a sensible way. Initially, tags were simply there as key-words to be involved in the “meta” information of the page – words that would help your site/page be indexed by search engines and found by users. With i18n Search however, these tags can be used to set up virtual categories and a filtering system, provided that you can maintain some kind of logical structure and consistency with the tags that you utilise.
Ever wanted to have random items put into the search results pulled from I18N Search?
It's actually not that difficult. The technique hinges on the return_i18n_search_results function, specifically designed for doing custom results rendering.
We call the function with the desired paramters to get the results. To ensure a properly random selection, we'll set the maximum number of results to a high number (e.g. 999).
$search = return_i18n_search_results($tags, $words, 0, 999, $order, $lang);
Hello dear reader, and welcome back to another session of GetSimple tutorial fun! We return to the subject of news and how to attain a functional news plugin for the GetSimple CMS. A lot of changes have been made since last we met, both to the core functionality of the CMS and to the plugins themselves. But let's get everybody up to speed now, shall we?
