Noven Utils

This extension adds several template operators to the system :

String operators (Must be used with pipe ("|") template syntax) :

• espace_as_entities() => Does an "htmlentities" on the given string, taking the charset used into account.
• split_words_in_parts($maxLength) => Splits too long words and adds one or more caesura character(s).
• shorten_to_last_word($maxLength) => Cuts a string to $length characters and then cuts at the end of the last word. Also adds "..." to the cutted string

Misc operators :

• persistent_variable_append($key, $value, $mergeExisting=false) => Adds a value to the "persistent_variable" variable, available in node templates and in pagelayout when a node is displayed.
  See the documentation and this topic from ez forum for more info about persistent_variable.
• server_variable($name) => Returns the $_SERVER[$name] variable
• session_set($variable, $value) => Sets a session variable from template
• media_url($addQuotes='yes') => Adds a Media Host to an URL (useful if you want to host your media files - ie. css, js, contrib images... - on a different hostname)
  • Define your Media Host in novenutils.ini
  • In your templates, just add "|media_url" to your media URLs
