Uses 1.6 Updater?
- Yes
• 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.
I use jincludes on each and every page of my 1.5 site for ads and any html-code snippets or javascript. It's too easy to use and it's a fantastic plugin. I was very disappointed, when I had to realize, that 1.6 upgrade wasn't available and searched hours of hours to find something similar, but in vain. Today I was so happy to find the new 1.6 release. I copied all my snippets (so glad, that I dont have to change all my {{tags}} in each and every article), but when I want to save the plugin, the code will vanish. Code-window is empty and it's not working.
I hope, this will be fixed soon.

Hi! Thank you very much for the five stars!
I am trying to make everything right for the stable release, so I have opened a bug report for your problem at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jincludes/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=26429 . Could you please go there and help me me identify your issue? Thank you very much again!
Great plugin! Just activate it, name key as you want, insert HTML code, than go to article and put your key name:
{{your key}}
Thanks a lot for this plugin!

Thank you for the review!
I take this chance to reassure everyone that JIncludes is not abandoned: bug reports and forum posts will receive quick reply and action, I'm here. I just don't have time to code new features, for the time being ;)
JIncludes Rocks!!! I was going crazy trying to get my HTML Aweber forms to post correctly in my content... But then I found JIncludes!
This plugin got me right on track with easy too... After spending a significant amount of time expirimenting with a few other plugins to add my HTML code unmodified to no success I finally came across JIncludes.
My search for code adding plugins is over - JIncludes has my vote all the way! Thanks for the great plugin which works great and very easy to use might I add.
Kind regards,
Randall Kowalenko

Other than to include Direct PHP into your content and so open your PHP-Commands through search to the public (major security issue), JIncludes sets php seperately as plugin-code and refers to them through pseudo-command.
Also highly appreciated, the use of parameters.
Example:
{{URL www.joomla.org}}
can be processed:
// Link not to be shown in e.g. categories list
if (JRequest::getVar('view', 'default') == 'article'){
echo ''.$param.'';
}
Hint: the doc speaks of $params (which doesn't work) instead of $param which actually works. Also keep in mind, that the mentioned php-function split() is deprecated, use explode() instead.
Possible improvement: let the command-brackets be choosen through parameters.
Result: Big help for very individual tasks, that otherwise have no answer in classic Joomla. 5 points

Very simple, very useful; no fuss, just code. Thank you!
I have used it for a Java Script embedded in HTML like this:
1. Download and install the plugin.
2. Enter in the Plugins Manager and search for "Content - JIncludes"
3. Enable the plugin
4. Edit the plugin
In the "Parameters" section, fill the fields as follows:
#1 key: YearsPassed
#1 type: HTML (input code)
#1 code:
// get number of years passed from 01 Jan 1991
var today = new Date(); // today
var di = new Date(1991,01,01,0,0,0,0); // 1991
document.write(today.getFullYear() - di.getFullYear());
5. Save
6. Edit an article and put the following text in:
In 1991 I was {{YearsPassed}} years younger.
7. Save the article and view the output page.
Thank you again. I will use this plugin for a lot of things...

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!!!
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!
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 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 :)
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!
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.
