Examples of using it to set fixed values and use them in a tracker

This method was used in a Tiki12 shop and I retrieved the code

In this use case we want to have fixed/editable values that can be used in different features of Tiki.
There is several advantages;

  • Changing one value will impact many other objects (items, calculation, etc).
  • Editing can be very limited (permissions to edit this page only)
  • Editing can be super relaxed (permissions to edit this page only)
  • It may help to keep fixed values through time (VAT may change from time to time however you need to keep the value for a specific date)


Here some example of plugin attributes in a wiki page and the usage in another place (mainly tracker field)

Display a value using attribute in many wiki pages (plugin List)

On the wiki page name PluginAttributes
Copy to clipboard
{attributes nice_guy_name="Bernard"}

On any other wiki page
Copy to clipboard
{LIST()}
{OUTPUT(report="y")}
{CALC()}(attribute (object (str wiki page) (str PluginAttributes)) (property nice.guy.name)){CALC} is the first name of a nice guy name.
{OUTPUT}
{LIST}


Will produce:
Bernard is the first name of a nice guy name.

Note: This should work in many other places like Blogs, Articles, Forums, Modules, etc. where there is a wiki area and it accept the wiki syntax.
