Insert [placeholders] in html to be replaced with some elsewhere defined html

Hi,
would it be possible (perhaps with some extension) to type in admin's html controls some placeholders text, something like

Code: Select all

[myCustomPlaceholder]
to being replaced at render time with some other html code snippet elsewhere defined?
This would be very useful to insert in products descriptions recurring html blocks.
Thanks

you could try something like this in your product controller:

Code: Select all

	preg_match_all('/<replace [^>]+>/i', $data['description'], $result);
	foreach($result[0] as $replacement) {
		$file = str_replace(array('<replace file="','">'),'',$replacement);
		ob_start();
		include_once(DIR_INCLUDES . $file);
		$include_data = ob_get_clean();
		$data['description'] = str_replace('<replace file="'.$file.'"></replace>',$include_data,$data['description']);
	}


add in your product description <replace file="your_replace_file1"></replace> and <replace file="your_replace_file2"></replace>, etc.
and put the your_replace_file1 and your_replace_file2 in your DIR_INCLUDES directory
