QUESTION Using (%%)

[smdp-1971]

What plugin? Or is it your own plugin you make?

It's an idea for a plug-in I'd like to make. I'd really like to know exactly how the process works. For example if I had a contact form or any content (even just a simple div with some text in it ) that I wanted to display in one of the pages.   I would like the user to be able to use the process of adding (%whatever%) on any created page to display the form (or any content that I specify.)

Hope I've explained that clearly enough for you. I actually thought at first it was through adding a filter but I'm not sure on it. I've looked at several plugins to see if I could gain any information on how the process works (i18n gallery, po1 contact form).

Thanks

Maybe this can help you.

PHP Code:

add_filter('content','some_names'); 


In this example I use a table

PHP Code:

function some_names($content) {
    
    $xml = getXML(dpeventGSCONTENT);
    
    $settings = getXML(dpeventGSSETTINGS);
    
    $dateformat = $settings->dateformat; 

$out ='<table class="event-content">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Event</th>
                    <th colspan="3" style="text-align:center;">Date</th>
                    <th>Content</th>
                    <th>Color</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>';
    
    foreach ($xml->event as $event)

        {
            $ids =  $event['id'];
            $name = $event->name;
            $startdate = $event->startdate;
            $enddate = $event->enddate;
            $color = $event->color;
            $url = $event->url;
            $content = $event->content;
        // start content
            $out .='<tr>';
                    if((string)$url ==='') {
            $out .='<td>'.$name.'</td>';
                    } else {
            $out .='<td><a href="'.$url.'">'.$name.'</a></td>';    
                    } // end else
            $out .='<td>'.date($dateformat,strtotime($startdate)).'</td>';
                    
                    if((string)$enddate ==='') {
            $out .= '<td>No date</td>';        
                        } else {
            $out .= '<td>'.date($dateformat,strtotime($enddate)).'</td>';
                    } // end else
                        
                    if((string)$content ==='') {
            $out .= '<td>NO Content</td>';
                    } else {
            $out .= '<td style="max-width:400px;background:red;">'.$content.'</td>';
                    } // end else 
            $out .= '<td style="max-width:400px;background:red;">'.$url.'</td>
                        <td><div style="width:17px;height:17px;border-radius:3em;background-color:'.$color.'"></div></td>
                    </tr>';
        } // foreach
                    
            $out .= '</table>';
        // end content
        
        
        $regex = '(%whatever%)'; // this is what you need
        $content = str_replace($regex, $out, $content);

    return $content;
}
