SnibPlugin

Embed protected content in public pages.

This Plugin is a Work In Progress. Don't install it unless you want to play with the code.

Syntax Rules

Wrap anything you want to protect with %STARTSNIB{ attributes }% and %ENDSNIB% markers. Multiple snibs are allowed in a topic. A snib may continue over multiple lines.

The following attributes are recognised:

Name Description
ALLOWVIEW Who sees it. If the user isn't authorized to see it, the alternate text (ALT) is shown.
DENYVIEW
ALLOWCHANGE Who can edit it. For sanity, this should be a subset of who can see it. If the user can view it but not edit it, render as an opaque tag in edit.
DENYCHANGE
ALT What an unauthorized user sees in place of the protected content. If no ALT attribute is given, nothing is displayed in its place.

Examples

%STARTSNIB{ALLOWVIEW="Main.IanBygrave" ALT="I love fluffy kittens!!!"}

My plans for world domination:

  1. Buy a white cat,

%ENDSNIB%
