Examples/Usage

First of all, init the plugin in your template: 

if(!plugin_isdisabled('blextra') && ($blextra =& plugin_load('helper', 'blextra'))) {
  //plugin successfully loaded
}
else {
  echo "ERROR: blextra plugin required!";
}

JSON-encoded menu

You can encode menu links with JSON like: 

[
{
  "url":"start",
  "name":"My start page...",
  "more":"id='start'"
},
{
  "url":"nsexample:end",
  "name":"This is the end!",
  "more":""
}
]

You can easyly decode and render your page (menu) with the following steps in your template: 

$mymenu = 'data/pages/wiki/menu.txt';
$armenu = json_decode(@file_get_contents($mymenu),true);
if($blextra)
  $blextra->tpl_link_array($armenu,'','');

Get a main menu

You can get a simple main menu as list with the build in type list. 

echo "<ul class=\"dokumenu\">";
if($blextra)
  $blextra->tpl_actionlink_array($blextra->available_actions,'<li>','</li>');
echo "</ul>"; //#dokumenu
echo "<ul class=\"dokumenu\">";
 
if($blextra) {
  $types = array(
    array(
      'type' => 'login',
      'pre'  => '',
      'suf'  => '',
      'inner'  => ''
      )
  );
 
  if(isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'])) {
