Add-ons¶
Allow EE Code¶
Allows ExpressionEngine code to be used in entries. This add-on should be used with extreme caution, if at all. Ask yourself if you should really be putting tags inside content. If you are confident the answer is yes, here you go!
Auto Linker¶
Automatically creates links from URLs and/or email addresses contained within the given text.
Cron¶
Allows the calling of plugin and module scripts on a regular, scheduled basis. Unlike a true server cron that can be scheduled to the second, it is triggered by hits to the page that includes your cron tag. It should be used on templates that get regular traffic, or that are themselves accessed by a server cron.
Cron Blacklist¶
For use with the Cron add-on. This add-on downloads the ExpressionEngine.com Blacklist and appends it to the site’s current Blacklist.
Cron Clean Cache¶
For use with the Cron add-on. Automatically clean out a directory located in the /user/cache/ directory of your ExpressionEngine site.
Cron Email¶
For use with the Cron add-on. Allows you to schedule the sending of an email to the email addresses specified in the parameters.
CSS Switcher¶
The CSS Switcher plugin is a simple way to allow skinning on a CSS formatted site.
Download Content¶
This plugin takes the content within the tag pair and forces a file download in the web browser with its contents, allowing you to turn template output into downloadable files.
HTML Attribute Content¶
HTML Attribute Content takes a string and preps it for use inside HTML tag attributes. You might find this handy when using content inside attributes of certain tags, like <meta> tags used by Twitter Cards<https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards>_.
List Maker¶
This add-on creates HTML lists from plain text data, and optionally accepts user-defined delimiters.
No Formatting¶
This plugin does absolutely nothing formatting wise. It’s a dummy formatting option.
It is useful when selected as a formatting option for third party add-ons that allow formatting selections and do not include an option for “no formatting”
Reading Time¶
The Reading Time plugin lets you output an estimated reading time for a given bit of content:
You can read this in about 3 minutes.
Search Hilite¶
Using a CSS class, this plugin will highlight the terms searched for whenever someone arrives at a template using various search engines.
Valid URL¶
Makes sure that a URL has a protocol, that ampersands are converted to entities, and all other characters are properly URL encoded.
Wiki¶
The ExpressionEngine Wiki Module provides a powerful wiki that integrates seamlessly with ExpressionEngine.
Wiki ToC¶
This add-on is used as a formatting option, typically with the ExpressionEngine Wiki. The add-on will format your article with your preferred formatting plugin, and create a table of contents in place of your [TOC] tag, in the form of an HTML unordered list.
World Weather¶
World Weather is a plugin for ExpressionEngine that allows you to displays weather conditions from around the world on your site. The plugin fetches weather information generated by a nationwide network of weather reporting station that are usually located at airports. These stations generally report weather conditions every three to six hours and the information that is reported (or not reported) can vary from station to station.
