=====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)<?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)<?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)<?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" />%%
