    • Using plugins in a module

    Posted by altkaese

    Is there a way to use a plugin in a module?

    Simple example, assume I want to assign a module in the left which shows the user's first name, which I collected at registration using a user tracker, say that information is in fieldId 2. So, a nice way to do this would be to just use

    Incorrect param: itemId

    in the module. If I add something like that to a module's tpl file, this terribly fails. Is there any way to do such a thing in a module?

    An alternative would be a way to display a wiki page as a module, i.e. assign a wiki page to the left column, inside of which I could just use plugins.

    A simple way to access a tracker field of the user tracker inside of a module would be a first step for what I'm trying right now, too. However, I am also interested in the general possibility to use plugins inside of modules.

    If you want to include a Tiki plugin in a module TPL file, you need to use the literal tags. See http://bit.ly/9IpmfEQuestion for details.

    To include a Tiki plugin in a user module, simply enable the Must be wiki parsed option, then inlcude the plugin syntax, as normal. See http://bit.ly/615RuUQuestion for details.

    This worked perfectly, thank you very much. I found user modules pretty useless, though.
