mvlcek Wrote:I've created the DynPages plugin (http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/dynpages/81/) which allows place holders on a page to include a component. It is also possible to pass parameters to the component. As a component can include php-Code, you can thus easily include dynamic fragments on your pages.

For examples see http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/dynpages/.

The plugin is similar to the RePlacer plugin, but uses components instead of additional "RePlace" files and allows for parameters passed to the included component.

samrayner Wrote:Thanks for this plugin mvlcek. One small fix I had to make: your regular expression doesn't match hyphens within component names (only underscores). The default behaviour of Get Simple is to replace spaces in component titles with hyphens, so it'll be quite a common character to appear.

Just changing [a-zA-Z0-9_] on line 42 in dynpages.php to [a-zA-Z0-9_-] did the trick.

Thanks,

Sam

What do you mean? There should be no problems using both of them.

sal Wrote:I mean you're not able to use placeholders in custom fields if using both this plugin and I18N Custom Fields.

alienee2 Wrote:Hi -

I was wondering how to pass parameters to a component using the dynpages plugin;

i'm using an html5 player which uses this code for the player:

Code:

<audio class="AudioPlayerV1">
          <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/data/uploads/audio_file.mp3" />
          <source type="audio/ogg" src="/data/uploads/audio_file.ogg" />
    </audio>

so i set this up as a component and am loading it into the article with dynpages;

i would like to be able to put a placeholder where it says 'audio_file', so that i can use one component and then have it load different audio files by specifying the audio file name in the tag...

thanks in advance for any info on how to do this...i tried to read the instructions about using global arguments, but it seems to use php and since my component doesn't have any php i wasn't sure if this is possible..

Just create the component (named "music_player") as:

Code:

<?php global $args; ?>
   <audio class="AudioPlayerV1">
          <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/data/uploads/<?php echo $args[0]; ?>.mp3" />
          <source type="audio/ogg" src="/data/uploads/<?php echo $args[0]; ?>.ogg" />
    </audio>

and call it from your page with e.g.

Code:

(% music_player beethoven_eroica %)

mvlcek Wrote:Correction: you need to use curly brackets:

Code:

{% music_player beethoven_eroica %}

alienee2 Wrote:

Code:

{% music_player beethoven_eroica %}

even with the curly brackets, the variable doesn't get inserted... still shows as /data/uploads/.ogg

Try this:

- Install the DynPages and I18N Custom Fields plugins.
- Go to the Plugins tab in Admin. Create a new custom field:

Name: music_file
Label: Music File
Type: Text field

- Create a theme component. Name it "music_player".
- Enter this for the component's code:

Code:

<audio class="AudioPlayerV1">
          <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/data/uploads/<?php get_custom_field('music_file'); ?>.mp3" />
          <source type="audio/ogg" src="/data/uploads/<?php get_custom_field('music_file'); ?>.ogg" />
</audio>

- Now when you create a page in GetSimple complete the custom field Music File with the filename's name excluding the extension (i.e., song1.mp3 would be "song1").
- In the WYSIWYG editor enter:

Code:

{% music_player %}

This should do it. I think. I haven't tried this I'm just following what I think would be a sequence that would work.
