Sourcerer! enables you to place PHP and any kind of HTML style code (including CSS and JavaScript) right in to your content! Not only in your articles, but also in sections, categories, modules, components, META tags, etc.
You can now just place your original codes right into your WYSIWYG editor. The only thing you have to do is surround the code with the Sourcerer! tags. Easy peasy!
You can also use PHP scripts in your content. That opens up a great deal of possibilities. Unlike Jumi, you don't need to make external files.
Most Joomla! Text Editors will strip parts of your HTML code, like JavaScripts (think of statistics scripts) and movie embed tags. With Sourcerer! you won't have these limitations.
HOW TO US IT:
syntax:
{source}your code{/source}
Some editors, like TinyMCE, don't want you putting html code into the non-html view. It will convert the tags to html and strip things like scripts. So you are left with the same problem.
Advise: use JoomlaFCK, it has an option to leave html tags alone if they are entered in the non-html view.
But Sourcerer also supports an alternative tag syntax, by use of double brackets. So if your editor acts like TinyMCE, you can do this, for instance:
{source}[[b]]This tekst is bold![[/b]]{/source}
For editors like JoomlaFCK, you can just do this:
{source}<b>This tekst is bold!</b>{/source}

MODULE SYNTAX:
You can use the Sourcerer! Module not only to place the above {source} syntax code in, but also to include other modules, simply by using:
{module 1}
or
{module Main Menu}
So you can either enter the module id or name, both work. You can include multiple modules into one Sourcerer! Module.

SECURITY LEVEL:
Sourcerer! comes with lots of security measures to protect your site. Enabling the use of PHP, but also JavaScript and CSS can be hazardous to your site. Therefor you can control in what areas of your site you want to enable certain codes.
For instance, for articles you can set the minimum group level for the use Sourcerer! and also for CSS, JavaScript and PHP separately.
You can tell Sourcerer! to not allow certain tags, also per area.
To protect your site, PHP can only be used in articles, sections/categories and modules (by use of the Sourcerer! module). For extra security, you can disable the use of certain PHP functions.
USAGE EXAMPLES:
▪ place a PHP redirect (like I use now on my homepage... temporarily)
▪ output available PHP variables (like server info or Joomla! variables)
▪ include external pages (html,php/javascript/etc)
▪ place JavaScripts
▪ place embed tags (or any other tags that might get chucked away by your editor)
▪ do database queries and output whatever you want
▪ group different modules into 1 module (saves a lot of time)
▪ and many more...
