This will create a spaceholder HTML image tag (transparent GIF).

All output of "my_external.php" script will be inserted. This is very powerful. You can use any availabe content var of phpwcms for your script or connet to other external sources.

This creates a HTML link to an article with ID (integer). String represents the text that is linked. Sample: [ID 4]read this[/ID] > read this

This is the replacement tag for a random image. Put this anywhere in text or template to show a random pic. Alle images inside the given image path are used. All jpg, jpeg, gif and png extended files are supported.
Sample: {RANDOM:picture/doc/smilies} (reload page to see effect)

You should not use the old random image replacement tags anymore:
{RANDOM_GIF:path_GIFs}, {RANDOM_JPEG:path_JPEGs}, {RANDOM_PNG:path_PNGs}
There a php script (img/random_image.php) reads and delivers the images; slow because images will not be cached by webbrowser.

Look at the samples and the "*" part — it's self-explanatory. The date and time format is set in "conf.template_default.inc.php". You can set different language for the month and dayname — at the moment supported: EN, DE, IT, FR (see the template config).

Sample:
{DATE_LONG} = Friday, 26. April 2024
{DATE_MEDIUM} = Fri, 26. Apr 24
{DATE_SHORT} = 2024/04/26
{DATE_ARTICLE} = 2011/01/02
{TIME_LONG} = 06:16:04
{TIME_SHORT} = 06:16
{TIME_ARTICLE} = 10:23

This creates the typical go 1 page back javascript link '<a href="javascript:history.back();" target="_top" alt="go back">string</a>'. Tip! String can also be an image.

The development of replacement tags is in progress - there might be new available in current version. Check the forum too - I do not have time to fill in the documentation often. Sorry.
