Sidenote Actions

This set of actions allows the user to create sidenotes similar to post-it notes. You can also find a version that integrates into wikka.css and combines the actions into a single action in SidenoteActionsTormodHaugen. However, this version keeps the actions seperate so that the user can choose not to include some of them.

Syntax

{{note text="This is a note." width="250"}}
{{tip text="This is a tip." width="250"}}
{{warn text="This is a warning." width="250"}}

text is a required field. width is optional and defaults to 200 pixels.

This file should be saved in actions/note.php:

<?php
/*
note action
Displays a sidebar note (like a post-it)
Syntax: {{note text="text" width="width_in_pixels"}}
*/

$text = htmlspecialchars($vars['text']);
$width = htmlspecialchars($vars['width']);

if (is_numeric($width) ? intval($width) == $width : false) {
$width = "200";
}

?>

<DIV ID="note" STYLE="width: <?php echo $width; ?>px">
<DIV ID="text">
<?php echo $this->Format($text); ?>
</DIV>
</DIV>

This file should be saved in actions/tip.php:

<?php
/*
tip action
Displays a sidebar tip (like a post-it)
Syntax: {{tip text="text" width="width_in_pixels"}}
*/

$text = htmlspecialchars($vars['text']);
$width = htmlspecialchars($vars['width']);

if (is_numeric($width) ? intval($width) == $width : false) {
$width = "200";
}

?>

<DIV ID="tip" STYLE="width: <?php echo $width; ?>px">
<DIV CLASS="title">TIP</DIV>
<DIV ID="text">
<?php echo $this->Format($text); ?>
</DIV>
</DIV>

And this file should be saved in actions/warn.php:

<?php
/*
warn action
Displays a sidebar warning (like a post-it)
Syntax: {{warn text="text" width="width_in_pixels"}}
*/

$text = htmlspecialchars($vars['text']);
$width = htmlspecialchars($vars['width']);

if (is_numeric($width) ? intval($width) == $width : false) {
$width = "200";
}

?>

<DIV ID="warn" STYLE="width: <?php echo $width; ?>px">
<DIV CLASS="title">WARNING</DIV>
<DIV ID="text">
<?php echo $this->Format($text); ?>
</DIV>
</DIV>

Finally, you need to add the stylesheet to actions/header.php. Find this line:

	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" media="print" />

add this line after it:

	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/sidenote.css" />
