JIncludes Plugin

JIncludes allows webmasters to easily:
• Create common HTML snippets to include in different articles (WYSIWYG editor friendly)
• Include PHP code and dynamically output contents in place
• Attach CSS files to single articles instead of putting the CSS code for all website's pages into only one stylesheet file (improving loading time and styling simplicity)
• Attach JavaScript files to single articles, with the same benefits.

Snippets are created on a sitewide basis and included with a {{keyName params}} syntax from inside articles' text. You can choose the keyName's for the snippets you create. The use of parameters and the "block matching" option allow very powerful content elaboration.

Starting from 0.8 beta, the installation package supports in-place upgrades through the Joomla! installer, so no update package is needed anymore. Please feel free to visit the project's wiki and to post to the project's forum if you need any kind of help :)

It is really simple and secure extension. :) You just add {{ the key }} to your article to see your custom code.

Thank you for excellent plugin!!!
I use this as a CSS switcher and love it! I used a css style switcher extension before but this is just so small, simple and easy. I would rather go with the simple solution and this is great! I also have used Jumi before too but again, this is the best! Does just what it says it will do. Thanks!
My first experience with this software is very positive. I used it to add a JavaScript verification to a form. The instructions are straightforward and easy to understand. It worked right out of the box. Thanks so much for this wonderful plugin!

Very simple installation. I am no pro, but found it easy to figure out. I only needed to put javascript into content, but it can do much more. Thanks for that.

I hunted down JIncludes when looking for a replacement for my many references to dates, fees, stages, and other details that appear many times on my sites. JIncludes worked "right out of the box" with no problems on my current 1.5.14 install. Rating as excellent and highly useful.

I'm in the habit of making a small donation on any module or plugin I find useful and has saved me hours or time. Couldn't find anything for Andrea, so I owe him a dinner.

This plugin is 100% fantastic. Worked first time out of box. Using it for external PHP forms embedded in content article. No errors, No Issues!

Love this plugin! Thank you very much!!!
This extension is very simple to use and allow to style with ease single article's stylesheet.
It is a real time saver and for me worked "out of the box".
Thank you!!!

I know nothing about programming and I've been beating my head against the wall with extensions to display html and javascript in my articles. This extension worked on the first try, as promised! Thank you!

Just when I was about to bang my head against a brick wall trying to find a replacement for mosSnippet, I find this. Truly a time saver - worked straight off the bat and does exactly what is says it does. Thanks Andrea - you're a legend :)

This really is a nice piece of software. It saves a lot of time and hassle. The only drawback I can see very soon is the maximum of 30 keys. I've just installed it a couple of days ago and there are not many empty keys left. Anyway, thanks a lot for this gem.

I consider this to be a brilliant successor to the J1.0 plugin mos-snippet...and I've been looking for the best alternative for some time. I use this plugin to store some often used HTML code, as well as links to the more visited areas of my site. That way, if the links change, I just alter the code in Jincludes rather than having to do a global replace.

Superb!
I tried different custom html plugins and none of them worked. This was the only one that worked. I have 1.5.2. the instructions are a little confusing though. I am not a php coder so I had a hard time understand how to include a php file. Over all, this is a great plugin. It solved my problems.
I love the idea behind this but the plugin does not seem to work correctly. After installation the plugin was activated and test code put into the fields and saved. But it doesn't include the code, the output ends up being blank.

Sorry, the problem with HTML snippets was fixed today with the release of version 0.6beta.

Please test again and report to the support forum whether the plugin now works correctly for you. Thank you!

i need to insert different snippets to each article. I swear that plugin save my hours if not days of work. Thank you so so much for that great plugin.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much - it's so simple indeed! I hope I can make it even more useful. My plans for developement are:
- getting it perfectly reliable and bug-free
- adding some kind of default snippets to include CSS, JS and maybe JDate() output straight from the article, something like {{:css /template/style.css}} so you don't need to make central snippets if you need to add a resource to one article only
