parsing content before rendering
6 June 2011 at 10:57pm
Hi there,
Still all new here.. so go gently...Could someone give me a hint on parsing content before i render it?
I would like to have in the content editor something like {specificTag} and then as it's rendered the actual value to be replaced using another function.This is so i can have the user design their table in the content editor and then have it replaced upon render.
Ta.

For this I would suggest using short codes. SSBits has a good tutorial on this - http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/

Hi Will,
So i've given that tutorial a go... Am i correct in assuming with short codes you can only parse one variable at a time?
IE, i have a table that looks likeReading number [Weather index]
Date Taken [Weather storedDate]So when i try to import the data into it using the short codes method, i get something that looks like
Reading number 1548 2011-06-12 22:31:10
Date Taken 1548 2011-06-12 22:31:10Thanks

Sounds like from your example you would need 2 short codes. One for the reading number, one for the stored date.

I thought this, it's just that i would need 14 of them then.

Could pass it as an argument then do a switch in your short code..
[Weather output=storedIndex]
...
public static function YourShortCodeHandler($arguments,$caption= null,$parser = null) {
switch ($arguments['output']) {
case 'storedIndex':
// foo
case 'index'
// bar
}
..
