Components Extended

Plugin Description:

GS Components Extended

Augmented functionality for cleaner and more powerful GetSimpleCMS components.

Better UI with sort & search, CodeMirror support, doubleclick code snippet copy, individual component save without page reload. Components Extended saves your components as <slug>.xml files in data/components with AJAX, one component at a time. It replaces the components tab with a custom tab, and will automatically import existing components from components.xml on activation. Available in EN, FR, NL.

Features

• Keeps track of the created date, modified date, and last editor.
• Edit & rename component slugs and titles (available as $params->title in the component) independently.
• Sort & search components
• CodeMirror support by default (unless GSNOHIGHLIGHT is explicitly set to TRUE).
• Available in: English, German, French, Dutch
• Bonus: Doubleclick a code snippet for instant copy-to-clipboard.

PHP

Components Extended adds one PHP function for components, get_ext_component($slug, $params = array()); where $params is an array of named keys. Eg if you had the following:

<?php get_ext_component($slug, array(
    'greet' => 'Hello',
    'name'  => 'world'
  ));

In your extended component you could do:

<?php echo $params->greet . ' ' . $params->name . '!'; ?>

And it would output: Hello world!.

# Be sure to set the GSTIMEZONE constant to your timezone if you wish to have meaningful timestamps for created & modified dates.
# to other plugin developers: the standard GS hooks component-save and component-extras also work with this plugin.
