I have been working on a project for my employer, and, as I was already somewhat familiar with this CMS, we developed the internal website using this package.

One of the aspects of the TextPattern CMS which I found lacking, was that the CSS data, stored within the database, was unable to be dynamically changed and interacted with using the TextPattern markup language, plugins and/or PHP, even though that functionality is available within the page content and articles themselves.

As a result I have hacked the css.php file, used by TextPattern to render the CSS information.

Instructions:

  1. Download this file – css.zip
  2. Unzip it into the “/textpattern” subdirectory of your TextPattern installation.
    (It will need to replace a file called “css.php” in order to work)
  3. Enjoy!

Any problems, let me know.

Well, maybe not my first, but the first one I have decided to publicly release.

This one allows for RSS Feeds to be processed and inserted into a webpage, using replacement tags.
It’s actually a ported version of one I found from FeedForAll, who offer a free PHP script called RSS2HTML(download) which does this work. I simply modified it so as to use the TextPattern plugin format – for those people who would prefer to work with it that way…

Here it is. Help is included within the Plugin itself.

TextPattern Plugin – les_rss2html_v0_1.txt
