JIncludes is a content plugin which implements custom code snippets, natively supporting all versions of Joomla! from 1.5.* to 2.5.*. . It is an open source, non-commercial project (but you can donate to it) and it is released under the terms of the GNU GPL v.3 or later.

Features

JIncludes is a Joomla! 1.5 native "custom-content" content plugin. You can use it to create "snippets" which have a customizable "key" and an associated action. Then you can put a tag in the form {{ key params }} inside articles, and have the snippet execute its action in place. Available snippet types are:

• Custom HTML, either entered in the plugin's settings or as an external file on the server. Use this to avoid code duplication of article parts.
• Custom PHP, either local or from an external file, same as above. You can typically use this to make your article modify something in the Joomla! runtime for best visualization, but there are no actual limits.
• Attach CSS stylesheet or attach JS script file, so every article can have its own styles/behaviors and you don't need to make template variants or load useless code with every page.

Please note: use JIncludes with caution, because manipulating HTML output, and much worse running custom PHP code in Joomla!, requires awareness of what you are doing. In other words, do not just copy-paste code found on some website without understanding what it does and how exactly it works.

How do I...

• ...download or update the plugin? Visit the Files repository where you can find the latest install package. To update, just install the new one over the old one.
• ...get help with installation, usage and updating? check the Wiki, or your JIncludes-Readme.html file.
• ...report a bug or suggest a feature? Head to the Bug tracker. Patches are obviously welcome. I have limited time so it may take a few days between review and fix. I am committed to delivering the best quality code, so please report PHP notices and warnings.
• ...donate to the project? click the donation button on this external page in my personal website (JoomlaCode is buggy and does not allow me to put the button right here)
• ...ask questions about JIncludes' usage or unclear behavior? Post your question to the Forum. Please do not e-mail me directly: you will likely be blocked by my spam filter. Also, solutions posted to the forum can be useful later for other users.
