Hack for the EE Extension: File

Try changing line 496 from this:

$target_path = preg_match("/^\//", $f['server_path']) ? $f['server_path'] : PATH.$f['server_path'];

to this:

$target_path = preg_match("/(^\/|^[a-z]:)/", $f['server_path']) ? $f['server_path'] : PATH.$f['server_path'];

Redirect after login

// This code allows you to use the free-standing login page to redirect members who login to individual start pages based on their group membership. Its use is explained in greater detail here:

http://www.firewhite.com/weblog/redirectafterlogin

// <?php global $SESS, $DB;


        {
                $memid = $SESS->userdata['member_id'];
                $group_no = $DB->query("select group_id from exp_members where member_id='$memid'");
                $group_num = $group_no->row['group_id'];
$login_path = '';
                $group_name = '';
                if($group_num == 1) {
                        $group_name = 'consultants';
                } else if($group_num <= 4) {

Site map, based on sections (e.g. weblogs) and categories

This will generate a site map using nested lists and h3 & h4 tags. Fairly rough, but serviceable.

{exp:query sql="SELECT blog_name, blog_title, blog_description FROM exp_weblogs"}
<h3><a href="{path={blog_name}}" title="{blog_description}">{blog_title}a></h3>
{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="{blog_name} "style="nested" orderby="title"}
 {categories}<h4 id="{category_id}"><a href="{path={blog_name}/articles}" title="{category_description}">{category_name}a></h4>{/categories}
 {entry_titles}/detail}">{title}{/entry_titles}
{/exp:weblog:category_archive}

"separator">

Using FlashObject and the miniFLV player to play videos from an entry

Ideally, at some point, I'll modify the plug-in for EE that shows Flash objects to use flashobject.js.

This code assumes custom fields in the blog.

FlashObject: http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/
MiniFLV: http://www.richnetapps.com/miniflv.htm

Online Example.

{if project_video}
{if project_video_title}<h4>{project_video_title}: Video Cliph4>{/if}

<div id="videoClip">
<p style="margin: 10px 0; padding: 10px; border: 3px solid red;"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank" title="Get Flash Player"><img src="http://www.macromedia.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Flash Player" height="31" width="88" align="left" style="padding-right: 10px">a>Flash 7 or above and JavaScript are required to view the project video clip. Please download the //www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank" title="Get Flash Player">latest Flash plug-in.

Snippets Plugin

Coding to use for the Expression Engine Snippets Plugin:

In the actual pages:
{exp:snippets template="static/index"}
{page_title}Site: {title}{/page_title}
{page_section}journal{/page_section}
{/exp:snippets}


In the header include (static/index in this case):
%page_title%
%page_section%

$fof_title="%nl_title%";
$fof_section="%nl_section%";
?>


Define them as variables in PHP for easy if/else statements. :)

Display In 2-Column Table

The below can be applied to MT, EE, etc, and will display the content in a 2 column table. The EE tags below are just an example, it will work equally well if you replace it with MT, Wordpress, etc, tags.

 $set_table="0"; ?>

<table cellpadding="5" border="0">
{exp:gallery:categories gallery="{gallery_name}"}
 
$fs_table = $set_table +1;
if ($set_table == "1") {echo"";} ?>


Insert other tags here.


 if ($set_table == "2") {echo"";  $set_table="0";} ?>
{/exp:gallery:categories}
</table>

Use PHP Inside EE Entries

You'll need the following plugins:
Allow EE Code: http://www.pmachine.com/plugins/allow-eecode/
Allow PHP: http://loweblog.com/archive/2005/06/03/ee-allow-php-plugin/

Set text formatting for the field you want to use this on to "None" (Admin > Weblog Administration > Custom Weblog Fields).

Change your template by adding the Allow EE tags around the field:

{exp:allow_eecode}{body}{/exp:allow_eecode}


Now you can use PHP inside your entries like this:

<p>Bla bla regular entry textp>

{exp:allowphp}
echo "This will be processed as PHP.";
{/exp:allowphp}

CSS Switcher Code

{exp:css_switcher}<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='{file}' />{/exp:css_switcher}


<form action="" method="post">
<select name="css_skin" id="css_skin">
<option value="1">Option 1option>
/option>

Code for using the CSS Switcher plugin. Insert this anywhere in a EE template where you want this to show.

Edit Link In An Entry

Without the Snippets plugin (ie, straight on the template itself):

{if member_group == "1"}
<a href="/system/index.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id={weblog_id}&entry_id={entry_id}" title="Edit Entry">Edit Thisa>
{/if}


With the Snippets plugin (ie, included in a seperate template that gets pulled into all other templates):

{if member_group == "1"}
<a href="/system/index.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id=%editweblog%&entry_id=%editweblog2%" title="Edit Entry">Edit Thisa>
{/if}


And use this to include the editlink template:

{exp:snippets template="static/editlink"}
{editweblog}{weblog_id}{/editweblog}
{editweblog2}{entry_id}{/editweblog2}
{/exp:snippets}

All Galleries:
{exp:query sql="SELECT count(entry_id) AS count FROM exp_gallery_entries"}{count}{/exp:query}

Categories For One Entry

{categories backspace="4"}<a href="{path=weblog/index}">{category_name}a> > {/categories}
to expressionengine by nothingless on Aug 30, 2005

<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="weblog"}
<li><a href="{url_title_path=template/view}">{title}a></li>

Content-sensitive, so putting this on a main index page will list all entries there are, on a category page all entries in that category, and on a date archive page all entries for that month.
