Why everything so easy in MAMBO ??
(hope it's ok to answer to your own posting btw)
Found a solution that will enable you to use an article as a content item in another article...:
Download and install the mosphp mambot (you'll find it at
www.mamboportal.com) and thanks to Andrew Eddie for creating the mambot!!
Then create a code that will select and return a value from a field in the mambo database. (you'll need to know what table and field you are looking for, that's the tricky part. Access the database through phpmyadmin and explore)
Example (you've created content in the introtext part of an article and now I want to use this as an element on another page):
I've checked my database and know that I am looking for the table
mos_content, the field is
introtext and the id is
3. Inser the follosing code on your page (or article if you will).
Code:
{mosphp} global $database; $database->setQuery('SELECT introtext FROM mos_content WHERE id=3'); $content = $database->loadResult(); return $content;
{/mosphp} (the code is an alteration of a code I found at
www.mambobrothers.com)
Not very user friendly but it does the job. I wonder how much work it would be to make it a real mambot or a functionality in the HTMLarea 3 ... I guess I'll just have to dream about that
If anybody has a more intelligent way of doing this I would love to hear about it... It is i admit a very limited solution...
But it will work great for a table or standard items on an article pages...

REQUEST: Include content component/mambot
