cbe_swap_body_excerpt

The primary purpose of this admin plugin is to swap body and excerpt fields in the Write tab.

It is completely free of charge, though you may think it (or any other of my plugins) deserves a donation.

Features

• Displays the 'Excerpt' field before the 'Body'
• Optionally adds some content before these two fields by replacing the original 'Body' markup with your own (see how to do that)

Plugin requirements

Developed and tested with Textpattern 4.5.4 and 4.5.5. Should work with every version from 4.2.0 (since pluggable_ui for articles).

Download, installation, support

• Download from textpattern resources or the plugin page.
• Copy/paste in the Admin > Plugins tab to install or uninstall, activate or desactivate.
• Visit the forum thread for support.

How to...

Replace body markup

Create an admin plugin to hook to cbe_swapbe.replace_body event.
Copy/paste the following lines, replace abc_your_function_name with the proper name and fill in the blanks:

register_callback( 'abc_your_function_name' , 'cbe_swapbe.body_replace'  ) ;

/**
 * abc_your_function_name
 * Uses the space left by the former 'Body' field
 * after Body and Excerpt have been swapped with cbe_swap_body_excerpt
 *
 * @param   string $event event on which the function fires
 * @return  string        replacement html markup
 */
function abc_your_function_name( $event )
{
    $body_replacement  = __your__code__here__ ;
    $body_replacement .= __more__code__if__needed__ ;
    return( $body_replacement ) ;
}
