User-defined tag inside a normal tag??

Hi

I will get striaght to the point.
I want to do the following:

Code: Select all

{embed url='modules/PHPDig/search.php?query_string={phpdig}'}
{phpdig} is a User Defined Tag and simply does:

Code: Select all

echo $_GET['query_string'];
The idea behind this is so that I can submit the search string via a form in my template to index.php?page=search&query_string=string Then pass the search string onto the iframe.

Thanks Brad

I fixed it.

For those wanting to know how I did it I will give a short explanation.

Basically I got the Iframe code that {embed url='xxxx'} generated.
Placed that into a page intead of the embed tag then placed {phpdig} where I needed it in the src value of the IFRAME.

So it ended up looking like this:

Code: Select all

<__iframe id='myframe' src='modules/PHPDig/search.php?query_string={phpdig}' scrolling='no' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' frameborder='0' vspace='0' hspace='0' style='overflow:visible; width:99%; display:none'></__iframe>
However it took me a while to get that to work because TinyMCE was changing the IFRAME code. I know this is probably for a good reason so that you stick to W3C standards etc. However it would still be nice to be able to edit the pure HTML content. So what I did is basically renamed "TinyMCE.module.php" to something else which then disabled Tiny altogether. It would be nice to have simple on/off button on the edit page. Instead of having to fire up an FTP connection and do the renameing your self.

Sorry I got a liitle offtopic there I will post a suggestion in Modules/Add-Ons.
