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.

Installation


First, put the following code in a file called css/sidenote.css:

/* sidenote.css */
/* Contains css for tip, note and warn actions. */

/* postit note-style information box */
#note {
        clear: both;
        font-size: 10pt;
        float: left;
        width: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        margin: 15px 10px 0px 0px;
        padding: 0px;
        background-color: #FFF900;
        text-align: justify;
        vertical-align: top;
}

#note hr {
        height: 1px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        width: 100%;
}

#note .title {
        text-align: center;
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #EEE800;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        color: #000000;
}

#note #text {
        padding: 4px;
        color: #000000;
}

/* tip information box */
#tip {
        clear: both;
        font-size: 10pt;
        float: left;
        width: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        margin: 15px 10px 0px 0px;
        padding: 0px;
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        text-align: justify;
        vertical-align: top;
}

#tip hr {
        height: 1px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        width: 100%;
}

#tip .title {
        text-align: center;
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #EFEFEF;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        color: #000000;
}

#tip #text {
        padding: 4px;
        color: #000000;
}

/* warning information box */
#warn {
        clear: both;
        font-size: 10pt;
        float: left;
        width: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        margin: 15px 10px 0px 0px;
        padding: 0px;
        background-color: #FFAAAA;
        text-align: justify;
        vertical-align: top;
}

#warn hr {
        height: 1px;
        border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
        width: 100%;
}

#warn .title {
        color: #FFFFFF;
        text-align: center;
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #FF0000;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
}

#warn #text {
        padding: 4px;
        color: #000000;
}


This file should be saved in actions/note.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
/*
        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
/*
        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" />


If you find this action useful, post a comment and let me know! Also, feel free to comment with requests for feature enhancements. --JasonHuebel
