Ok, I'm almost done, I'm just having troubles with the last bit of code.

What I want to do is pass a variable from the config into a <script> tag and I'm not quite sure how to do it.

This is what I was trying to do:

Code: Select all

$path  = 'http://digg.com/jsdig/' + $this->get_config('articles') + '/' + $this->get_config('username');

	echo '<script language="JavaScript" src=$path type="text/javascript"></script>';
But its not working. It wont see the $path as a variable in the <script>

Anyone know how to fix this? or a work around?

Where exactly do you try to make this variable assignment? Please post your PHP code somewhere so that we can see the context of the plugin.

It is definitely possible to do it, I just need more of your code :)

Okay, your problem is a simple PHP mistake.

Variables within single-quoted Strings are not interpolated. Instead of this:

Code: Select all

        $path  = 'http://digg.com/jsdig/' . $this->get_config('articles') . '/' . $this->get_config('username');

	echo '<script language="JavaScript" src="$path" type="text/javascript"></script>';
[code]

You need to write this:
	
[code]
        $path  = 'http://digg.com/jsdig/' . $this->get_config('articles') . '/' . $this->get_config('username');

	echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" src=\"$path\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
[code]

or this:

[code]
        $path  = 'http://digg.com/jsdig/' . $this->get_config('articles') . '/' . $this->get_config('username');

	echo '<script language="JavaScript" src="' . $path . '" type="text/javascript"></script>';
[code]

Whatever you prefer :)

Forgive my ignorance but how do you implement this?

Hi!

Just save that snippet inside a "plugins/serendipity_plugin_diggednews/serendipity_plugin_diggednews.php" and then you can install it from the s9y plugin manager

Regards,
Garvin
