Форумы / Cotonti / Support / A little extended pagetextbyid

Hi folks,

Maybe you could help me with my issue. Do you guys remember pagetextbyid plugin, which fetches a page's text with an id and puts in anywhere you like? How about not only text, but anything else, like titles, extrafields, whatever? So that I could also use regular Cotonti expressions, like IF, in my page.tpl?

Are there any ways to extend pagetextbyid somehow, or even a plugin?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dayver,

Thank you for a modification, but it seems not to handle page's extrafilds. Text goes fine, title goes fine, etc, but as for any extrafields, it simply outputs Err. Unknown field.

You mean, an example of an extrafied I use? Like, {FAKEL_LOGO}, for example.

Wow, nice! For some reasons, it didn't work for me last time, but now, the global tag like {PHP|pagefieldbypid(521, 'game_stadium')} works awesome, thank you!

But let me little extend the plugin's possible implementation. How about if I make a new global, like, {PAGE_TO_FETCH_FROM}. While editing a page, I input an other's page id into it, and a first page comes up with some of the fetched thing from the second page.

In terms of pagefieldbypid from you, Dayver, the global tag must be sort of {PHP|pagefieldbypid({PAGE_TO_FETCH_FROM}, 'text')} which of course doesn't work. How to make it go fine?

update:

Oops, pagefieldbypid seems to work a little unstable. First, I added a global tag {PHP|pagefieldbypid(518, 'fakel_name')} in a footer.tpl just to make sure it's fine. It was fine. Than, I added the same tag into a page.tpl, and the both places tag output nothing! Hmmm.

Nope. In my case, {fetched_article|pagefieldbypid($this, 'text')} outputs nothing. :( Siena 9.14, just in case.

Look. On a page A I need to put a text fetched from Page B. I create an extrafield fetched_article, input a Page B's ID there. Than, in page.tpl I insert {fetched_article|pagefieldbypid($this, 'text')} and than, on a Page A, there isn't anything fetched from page B.

Pagelist does it all and more out of the box

Cache is good only theoretically. In practice it is useless and can easily be discarded.
