Improved Include Page

Other languages: italiano

Last update: 17th january 2009 (v 0.4.7)

Improved Include Page is a Wordpress plugin which allows to include the content of a static page in a template file with several options. It is an expanded version of the original Include Page developed by Brent Loertscher and it was developed to add some features I needed to build this site.

Key Features

  • page title display with optional HTML code,
  • content display with different styles (full, teaser, custom ‘more’ link),
  • Wordpress filters applied to both the content and the title.
  • supports Wordpress 2.5.x Shortcode API

Version Notes 0.4.7

  • On WP 2.5 or greater allows custom inclusion by post type and status using parameters ‘allowType’ and ‘allowStatus’.
  • Bug fix: in shortcode fixed a bug that could crash PHP when including recursive page/posts

Important note on version 0.4.6

The inclusion of posts and unpublished or private pages was a bug. Recent comments show that this bug was really welcomed by some of you. I’m working on a more “elegant” and customizable solution, but in the meantime you can fix it editing line 172.

Version Notes (0.4.6)

  • Bug fixed: since this version you can include only static pages with status of ‘published’.

Version Notes (0.4.5)

  • Page ID can be a valid page path (WP 2.1 or higher required)

Version notes (0.4.4)

  • Added parameter $return (default = false) to iinclude_page() function
  • Added support for WP 2.5.x shortcode API

Version notes (0.4.3)

The code of this version it’s been cleaned and optimized using WordPress API.

Version notes (0.4.2)

This version fixes a bug that triggers an error when used with some content filter: the $page global variable is backed up and then restored before returning.

Version notes (0.4.1)

This version contains a bug fix by Jesse Plank: resolves a compatibility problem with the plugin EventCalendar.

How to install it

  1. Download Improved Include Page from this site or from WorPress plugin’s repository
  2. Extract the zipped archive
  3. Upload the file iinclude_page.php to the wp-content/plugins directory of your Wordpress installation
  4. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin ‘Plugins’ page.
  5. Include pages in your templates ising iinclude_page function or in your pages/posts using the shortcode syntax.

How to use it

After installing it, the plugin adds the function iinclude_page:

void iinclude_page(int post_id [,string params, boolean return = false])

The function takes three parameters: the id of the page to include (post_id) and an optional string (params) which contains the display options and an optional boolean (return) tells wether to return the content or display it on screen.

Example 1: basic usage

If you wish to include the content of page number 4 insert the following code into your template file (eg. sidebar.php):

<?php iinclude_page(4); ?>

In order to avoid PHP errors you should use the function with the following syntax:

 <?php if(function_exists('iinclude_page')) iinclude_page(4); ?>

Example 2: using optional parameter

You can also display the page title using the following code:

<?php iinclude_page(4,'displayTitle=true&titleBefore=<h2 class="sidebar-header">'); ?>

Example 3: using Shortcode API

You can include a page’s content in a page/post using the syntax:

[include-page id="123"]

or

[include-page id="3" displayTitle="true" displayStyle="DT_TEASER_MORE" titleBefore="<h3>" titleAfter="</h3>"  more="continue&raquo;"]

Parameters

The current version supports the following parameters:

displayTitle (boolean)
toggle title display
titleBefore/after (string)
string to display before and after the title
displayStyle (integer constant)
one of the following:
  • DT_TEASER_MORE - Teaser with ‘more’ link (default)
  • DT_TEASER_ONLY -Teaser only, without ‘more’ link
  • DT_FULL_CONTENT - Full content including teaser
  • DT_FULL_CONTENT_NOTEASER - Full content without teaser
allowStatus (string)
comma separated list of allowed statuses (default = publish)
allowType (string)
comma separated list of allowed post types (default = page)
more (string)
text to display for the ‘more’ link

    if(function_exists('iinclude_page')) iinclude_page(238, DT_TEASER_MORE);

    with the opening and ending php tags..

    But it displayed the full page on the post without the more link, no errors either

    Any idea what I did wrong here?

    Thanks

    Dayna: the syntax of the “params” string is the same of Wordpress’s template tags. For example the code: 

        if(function_exists('iinclude_page')) {
        iinclude_page(238, 'displayTitle=true&displayStyle=DT_TEASER_MORE&more=continue');
    }
    displays the excerpt of post number 238 with the post title between <h2> and </h2> tags and the text “continue” linked to the full page.

    but it give me a

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/huaian/public_html/liberta/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/exec-PHP.php(45) : eval()’d code on line 5

    This works without the params

    it works. Do you have some other plugin installed? Try without the ‘»’ symbol.

    That sounds very strange. The only way I’ve found to get a similar error is trying to include a page that doesn’t exist. Maybe you could try disabling the others plugins.

    However I’m working to a new version, I’ll investigate on some possible solution.

    to use a different header for the title you could write:

    < ?php if(function_exists('iinclude_page')) { iinclude_page($post_id, 'displayTitle=true&titleBefore=<h1>>&titleAfter=</h1>'); } ?>

    4 March 2006, 04:28

    Thanks you Ragman, that was easy. I should have searched in Wordpress codex too… I have another question which is more complicated and maybe not directly related to your plugin: is there a way to include a file that has a name taken from the current page name + something else like “sidebar” for example. What I mean - if you’re opening a page called “contact” then the template includes a page called “contact-sidebar”. I want to create custom sidebars per page and I want to automate it. I’m building a page for a client and she struggles with computers. I can tell her to wrap the text she wants to appear in the sidebar with <code></code>

    however it is too much for her, and the wysiwyg editor in wordpress sometimes make changes.

    Sorry for the long post. Basically I’m interested to know if there can be a php code that looks for a page with a name taken from the current page + some extension and if there is a such a page it loads it, if not - nothing happens. I couldn’t find any plugins or any help for creating custom sidebars. Thanks…

  20. Rena wrote:
    4 March 2006, 08:44

    This looks like a great plugin. Does it give the ability to include pages based on criteria like “is a child page of current page”? I am looking for a plugin that will display the contents of a page’s child pages inline. Sort of like wp_list_pages, but with the content of the child pages not just a list of links.

    Thanks!

    6 March 2006, 09:02

    Since my last comment I have installed your plugin and implemented it. Aside from my earlier question (I checked out the code for the plugin and couldn’t see where it would inclulde the functionality I was looking for—to include pages based on conditional criteria instead of a static page value), I am have another issue:

    When I call the php for include page it displays the page “almost” properly, except that there is an undesired space above where I want the content to appear. When I look at the generated page’s source, I see that either wordpress or the include page plugin has added an extra

    <

    p> tag that isn’t in my pages html when the page renders.

    Any idea how to keep this from happening? I have already disabled the WYSIWYG rich editor and am just entering straight HTML.

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks so much for creating this plug-in. I think this is a real newbie question but wasn’t able to find any info in the codex or in google:

    How do I know which parameters are available to the iinclude() function?

    In the comments above you mention “the syntax of the “params” string is the same of Wordpress’s template tags.”

    Where do I find the list of those parameters?

    Many thanks!…

  24. Ragman wrote:
    7 March 2006, 14:13

    Tara: you can find the parameter list in the header of the plugin file, just after the installation guide.

    The syntax of the string is the same of WP template tags, for example:

    
    iinclude_page(23, 'displayTitle=true&displayStyle=DT_FULL_CONTENT');

    will include the full content of the page which has id=23, including the teaser.

    I’m sorry. I realize that the documentation I provided with the plugin is not very clear. I think that in the next release I’ll include an external documentation file with some examples.

  25. Ragman wrote:
    7 March 2006, 15:00

    Martin: with iinclude_page you can include a static post based only by its ID, for now.

    To obtain your custom include you have to create a custom function. I use a trick in my sidebar. here’s an example:

     if(is_page('contact')) {
      iinclude_page(123);  // where 123 is the id of my static page
      //or some other PHP code
 }

    However it’s an interesting feature. I’ll think about it for the next release.

  26. Ragman wrote:
    7 March 2006, 16:25

    Rena: (1) this feature is not supported in iinclude_page. I achieved something similar playing with some Wordpress function (the article list on this site). If you want I can send you the code by mail.

    (2) I gave a look to the plugin code and it seems there is no extra markup. It could be some filter applied to the page (eg. markdown, textile) or some unicode character that some browser don’t read correctly (it happened to me during tests with IE)

    Excellent (and well-documented) plugin. I’ve got it working on my site with no problems, but I’m having trouble trying to add a edit functionality to it (my PHP knowledge is ok, but not great).

    I’ve tried to add an edit link to the bottom of the post, by appending

    $output .= edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '

    ’, ‘

    ’);

    just before $output is returned for the final time at the end of the script. It works exactly how I want, except that the edit link appears between the title and the content, not after the content like I want. Am I doing something wrong?

    Using the option DT_FULL_CONTENT the function displays both the teaser and the content. Any custom content should be inserted directly in the page.

    […] 2. If you’re using the default theme, your probably done now, unless the sidebar doesn’t show what you want it to. I’ll get back to this later. You can now either write whatever you want to be shown on the front page in proper HTML where it says “your text goes here“. But maybe you want to make use of WordPress’ Pages and write/update your front page via the normal site admin interface. In which case you could make use of Vite Tardia’s improved include page plugin, adding the following code to your file instead: <?php if (function_exists(’iinclude_page’))    iinclude_page($post_id, [params]); ?> The plugin’s documentation gives the options that can be used as [params]. Additionally, you will want to wrap this line of code in the correct tags - look in your page.php template in your theme’s directory. In K2, for example, it will look something like this: <div class="primary">    <div class="item">       <div class="itemtext">          <?php if(function_exists(’iinclude_page’)) iinclude_page(6);?>       </div>    </div> </div> […]

    Like sparkyc in comment #27, I would like to be able to add an “edit this entry” link onto my iincluded content. I made the modification to iinclude_page.php that sparkyc recommends, but the behavior is not what I wanted.

    The “edit this entry” link that appears associated with my iincluded sidebar, takes me to the base Page’s content, not to the content of the iincluded Page.

    I have iincluded the content of the sidebar on my homepage.

    So, the question is: Is there a way to place an “edit this entry” link on the display of the iincluded content, that would link to the iincluded Page, rather than to the main content of the displayed Page?

    I hope that makes sense. My site’s testbed is at nkfreedomhouse.technicalsupportresources.com . Feel free to take a look!

    I was just wondering how the teaser is defined for this function? I want to display a relatively short teaser, but at the moment, the full content is still being displayed. I assume this is because the character/word limit is too long?

  41. Ragman wrote:

    claire: you have to define the teaser using the <!--more--> tag in WordPress’s page editor.

    If you call the iinclude_page function with the default parameters (page id only) it will display the teaser with the “more” link. I’m using this in my home page.

    Hope that helps, let me know.

    I posted this as a resolution to a bug with EventCalendar along with a modified version of iinclude_page here.

    Namely, I want to include the Technorati Tags embedded by the plugin “Bunny’s Technorati Tags.” On normal pages, one just has to add the code to the PHP file.

    Is there a way to add to the “Improved Include Page” plugin so that using the code would display BOTH the page’s contents AND the Technorati tags for that page?

    Copernicus: to add Bunny Tags to the output of Improved Include Page (IIP) you have to do 2 things:

    1. Modify Bunny Tags code By default Bunny Tags uses the current global post id. You have to edit it’s functions (get_bunny_tags first) in order to accept a custom post ID as input.

    The function to look at is get_post_custom_values (used by Bunny Tags) in the WP file “template-functions-post.php”, here’s a quick example (not tested yet):

    function my_get_post_custom_values( $key = '', $id = 0) {
    $custom = get_post_custom($id);
    


       return $custom[$key];

    


    }

    2. Modify IIP code to include the output of the Bunny Tags, for example: 

    $content .= get_bunny_tags_list($id, $before, $after, $separator);

    Hope that helps, let me know

    $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);

    If I comment out this line, it works, if I do it after, it doesn’t. The title works fine. The content isn’t taking theme’s style though, because it isn’t getting the paragraph tags around it.

I had to change a few things, but the main little hack that helped me was the Improved Include Page plugin from Vito Tardia.

    Hi Ron,

    all you need to do is:

    1. create a static page
    2. take note of your page’s ID
    3. edit the template in which you want include your page (for example sidebar.php) inserting the PHP code.

    For example, if you want to include the page with ID 5 in your home’s sidebar, you can insert the code:

    <?php if (is_home()) {
    if (function_exists('iinclude_page')) {
        iinclude_page(5);
    }
} ?>

    If anyone is interested: I find this plugin very helpful, but for a few reasons I prefer to call pages using the pagename rather than id - especially when switching between local and production installs of a website running wordpress as a CMS. One way to do this is to make a call first to the wpdb, please note that $pagename is based on the page slug, not the actual page title. So you might have a function that calls the iinclude function like so:

    function someFunction(){ global $wpdb; $name = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_name='homepage-image'"); if(function_exists('iinclude_page')) iinclude_page($name); }

    Hi denny: you can tune the display of IIP using the optional parameters.

    I think that the problem with EasyPaypal is due to the fact that it acts as a content filter. IIP processes content filters so it will includes also your paypal details.

    The 2 solutions are:

    1. remove easypaypal tags from your includes
    2. editing IIP code in order to remove and re-add the easypaypal filters (see code sample below)
      3. function iinclude_page(...) {
    remove_filter('the_content', 'EasyPayPal_the_content');
    remove_filter('the_content', 'EasyPayPalButton_the_content');

/* other IIP code */


add_filter('the_content', 'EasyPayPal_the_content');
add_filter('the_content', 'EasyPayPalButton_the_content');

      }

    You could also write a function that returns all the subpages for a given post using this query:

    $pages = $wpdb->get_results ("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = $parent")

    and use it in the foreach loop.

    Hope that helps

    “Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant id=\”sample-permalink\”>\”/media<span in /home/sapling/public_html/apsl/wp-content/plugins/iinclude_page.php on line 104”

    Please help!

    Hi Ashish,

    you can use the page URL on WP 2.1 or better using the syntax:

    iinclude_page(‘/page/uri’, [other params]);

    Regarding custom fields, IIP doesn’t care of them at the moment. They are stored in the ‘postmeta’ table and you can access them using the functions described at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields.

    You could duplicate IIP creating a version that includes custom fields or you could try the Wordpress Portal plugin by Davide Casali: http://digitalhymn.com/argilla/wpp/.

    Hope that helps

    In WP 2.7, “iinclude” plugin seems to include posts/pages that are marked as draft/pending review.

    What’s the best way to first tell wordpress to check if the post has a status of “published” before it tries to inlcude the page?

    I see that you’ve fixed the “published/unpublished” issue, but now I can not include “Posts”.

    From what I remember, Version 0.4.5 seemed allowed including “Posts” or “Pages”.

    Version 0.4.6 only seems allows the inclusion of “Pages”.

    Can you make an update that allows this?

    Thanks! Scott

    Hi. This plugin has been a really useful tool, but the upgrade to 0.4.6 now prevents content from “Privately Published” pages from being included on pages. I use WordPress to make a static website, and sidebar and menu content need to be pulled in from “Private” pages; I don’t want Google spidering pages of what amounts to partial content. So being able to use Private posts is very important. Thanks for the very good work!

    Vito,

    I see you’ve been busy upgrading this plugin. That’s great to see. Thanks for all of your work. I notice that the only way to find your plugin in the new “Plugin Browser/Installer” is to search by plugin author, “vtardia”. I think your plugin will gain much more popularity if it can be found more easily in the Wordpress plugin directory. If there are tags or other content you can fill out in the plugin page, that would probably help a lot!

    the “allowType” parameter works for WordPress 2.5 and higher. To include post and pages use allowType=page,post.

    Your’re right about the tags. I was thinking about adding the tags “content, include, posts, pages”, what do you think?

    CJ: you can use several options or tricks.

    You can use private or draft pages to to the job.

    For a past client I used a first level page called ‘chunks’ and placed all content snippets on sub pages.

    Then I edited the theme for excluding the ‘chunks’ page from the page menu.

    You can also use the Page Link Manager plugin to edit your menus.

    Ragman,

    It would appear that your plugin conflicts with Exec-PHP (or vice versa). I disabled it, and get the title of the page I’m trying to include.. However, the string I’m using is this:

    [include-page id="2" displayTitle="false" displayStyle="DT_FULL_CONTENT_NOTEASER"]

    As I understand it, that should include everything BUT the title. I’m simply getting the title. If I change it to [include-page id="2"], I get exactly what I want. The full page without the title. Fortunately, I don’t need Exec-PHP for anything else right now, so I can disable it, but it’d obviously be nice if the two plugins were compatible.

    Ciao fuzzonce,

    a me non è mai capitato perchè uso di rado la versione shortcode e non uso l’editor HTML, ma mi affido a Markdown.

    Credo che sia dovuto al filtro di default wpautop che WordPress applica al contenuto per evitare di dover gestire i tag <p> all’interno dei post.

    Nel file wp-includes/shortcodes.php viene aggiunto il filtro do_shortcode con priorità 11, specificando che questo avviene dopo wpautop.

    Una soluzione possibile può essere modificare la proprità del filtro do_shortcode, controllando che non abbia effetti negativi su altri plugin.

    Hey Vito,

    I just wanted to clarify what you told Erik in comment #161 - you’re saying that there’s no way to not display the page title in the area rendered by the include? I’m using your plugin to drop text into a sidebar that needs to be editable by my client. Currently I have to keep the page title (from within the WP Dashboard) blank in order to prevent it from showing up in the nav bar (the actual page titles don’t appear on any pages). Is there no way I can use an actual page title from within the Dashboard that won’t appear on the rendered page? Setting it to private/published doesn’t work - the included page vanishes.

    Hi Vito,

    I’m not getting the result you’re describing, but I did find a work-around to the problem. When I eliminate the “title” argument from the PHP call I still get the page title showing up in the navigation of my site (the title above the rendered code wasn’t the problem). However, if I take advantage of the before/after attributes then I’m able to add “display:none” as a CSS style, thereby effectively deleting it from the rendered page. Thanks anyway! :)

    Hi Vito,

    Your plugin was just what I needed. I had some problems with compatibility with the Sociable plugin (adding ugly social bookmark links to my included pages), but searching through the code I noticed the commented-out code for compatibility with the EventCalendar plugin.

    I followed the same strategy and all works perfectly now.

    For reference, the extra lines would be:

    remove_filter('the_content','sociable_display_hook');

    // Apply filters for Polyglot … add_filter(‘the_content’,’sociable_display_hook’);

    Hope that helps anyone struggling with the same problem.

    this is one of the best, most useful plugins there is. period.

    with this plugin and a functions.php file (and some extra CSS styling) — you can turn wordpress into a completely dynamic CMS solution via the pages admin menu.

    it basically turns the pages menu into another widgets panel — and think about how easy it is for a client to manage things from the pages menu.

    ANYTHING you display in a page — images, links, copy, tokens from other plugins (like Subscribe2 as my main example) — will be displayed wherever you add the call to this plugin.

    this plugin solves so many potential road blocks it blows my mind.

    maybe IIP is not the right solution to your problem. It runs a query for every page and could easily stress your database in case you have too many posts.

    The cleanest way could be a custom template calling a custom query to retrieve all posts/pages at a time and then output them calling the right filters.

As I did a quick search, using the WP get_the_title would be simpler, as you can pass it a unique ID. Just thought someone else might find that useful in case they come here looking for the same thing as I did.
