<p>External files provides a shortcode <em>[external]</em> which can be used to insert the contents of a file or url into the current post or page. The plugin will automatically format the text based on the extension (for files) or mime type (for urls), using Alex Gorbatchevs’ <a href="http://alexgorbatchev.com" title="More about Syntax Highlighter" rel="nofollow ugc">Syntax Highlighter</a> javascript.</p>
<p>The shortcode can accept three optional parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>format</em> can be used to specify a highlighting format, rather than letting the plugin decide which format to use</li>
<li><em>start</em> specifies a line number to output from, so sections of a file/url can be shown</li>
<li><em>end</em> specifies the line to stop at</li>
</ul>
<p>See the installation page for usage examples.</p>
<p>The available formats are:</p>
<ul>
<li>AS3</li>
<li>Bash</li>
<li>Cpp</li>
<li>CSharp</li>
<li>Css</li>
<li>Delphi</li>
<li>Diff</li>
<li>Groovy</li>
<li>Java</li>
<li>JavaFX</li>
<li>JScript</li>
<li>Perl</li>
<li>Php</li>
<li>Plain</li>
<li>PowerShell</li>
<li>Python</li>
<li>Ruby</li>
<li>Scala</li>
<li>Sql</li>
<li>Vb</li>
<li>Xml</li>
</ul>
<h3>Future features</h3>
<p>Following is a list of ideas and features to add:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>BASE_PATH</em> and <em>BASE_URL</em> options that can be used in the shortcode to avoid typing the same long path/url each time</li>
<li>a list of available formats with the checkboxes to enable/disable each individually, thus avoiding having to load all of them</li>
<li>an option for changing the theme of the syntax highlighter</li>
</ul>


External Files

External files allows an author to insert the contents of an external file or url into a post, with the text automatically highlighted accordingly.

<p>FluentSnippets is the <strong>Most Secure and Performance-Focused</strong> Code Snippet Plugin for WordPress. FluentSnippets store your snippets in flat files, so it does not run SQL queries for your snippets. It is the <strong>Fastest Code Snippet Plugin</strong> for WordPress.<br />

<h3>Why FluentSnippets?</h3>
<p>FluentSnippets stores the code snippets in the flat file and uses code blocks in each snippet file to add metadata like a description, title, conditional logic, snippet type, and other things. We also parse these data once and cache these into index.php so we don’t have to parse these code blocks in every request. Then on runtime, it just includes those files to your selected action hook. In the whole process, FluentSnippets runs 0 database queries. In fact, we don’t have any Database query in the whole plugin runtime.<br />
With this native design, FluentSnippets is native, secure by design, and the most performant code snippets in this category.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>File-based Snippets:</strong> Your snippets are safely saved in your file system and load natively with zero database queries, so it’s safe, secure, and ultra-fast.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Code Snippets:</strong> Write your custom code snippets including PHP, JS, CSS, HTML, and more. Categorize your snippets with groups, tags, etc</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Conditional Logic:</strong> Execute code snippets solely under specified conditions like post type, date, URL, user type, and many more.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Error Handling:</strong> The automatic error hander prevents common errors when adding custom snippets to ensure they never break your site.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Shortcode:</strong> With custom shortcode of your snippets, you can create custom dynamic content blocks and use them across your site and manage them.</li>
<li><strong>Stand-alone Mode:</strong> The most interesting feature is the Stand-alone Mode. With this feature, you can add your snippets, activate the standalone mode, and then you can uninstall and delete the plugin and your snippets will still run via mu-plugins architecture and when you reactivate the plugin you can manage your snippets as before.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Powerful Smart Conditional Logics</h3>
<p>We have added smart conditional logic to let you choose precisely where you want to execute your code. These conditional logics include</p>
<ul>
<li>User’s Login State or Role</li>
<li>Type of Pages</li>
<li>Post Types</li>
<li>Taxonomy or Term-Based Rule</li>
<li>By Page / Post URL</li>
<li>Target Specific Page / Post / CPT</li>
<li>Date Based Conditions</li>
<li>FluentCRM Tag / Lists based rule of the current contact</li>
</ul>
<p>These conditions are grouped-based, which means you can add multiple groups with a set of conditions and if any of the group match the condions it will execute the snippet.</p>
<h3>Snippet Types</h3>
<p>FluentSnippets has four types of snippets. You can choose the snippet type from the snippet type selection.</p>
<p><strong>Functions – PHP Snippet:</strong> This snippet is for all the PHP code that you need to execute in specific areas like you would write in your theme’s functions.php file.<br />
You can use this snippet type to create functions/classes, hook into other actions and filters, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Content – PHP + HTML Snippet Type:</strong> This snippet type is used to insert content to different places like header, footer, after-post content, before-post content, etc. You can write php / html / js / css code in this snippet type.</p>
<p><strong>CSS Snippet Type:</strong> You can use this snippet type to add custom CSS to your site.</p>
<p><strong>JS Snippet Type:</strong> You can use this snippet type to add custom JS to your site.</p>
<h3>Internal Design of FluentSnippets Plugin</h3>
<p>The design is super simple and this is what it should be! FluentSnippets stores the code snippets in the flat file and uses code blocks in each snippet file to add metadata like a description, title, conditional logic, snippet type, and other things. We also parse these data once and cache these into index.php so we don’t have to parse these code blocks in every request. Then on runtime, it just includes those files to your selected action hook. In the whole process, FluentSnippets runs 0 database queries. In fact, we don’t have any Database query in the whole plugin runtime.<br />
With this native design, FluentSnippets is native, secure by design, and the most performant code snippets in this category.</p>
