    200 Triggering content plugins in FLEXIcontent fields /documentation/tutorials-english/71-fields-usages-tips-joomla-plugin/200-triggering-plugins-in-flexicontent.html

Any content plugins can be triggered inside the FLEXIcontent text field

  1. download and install your joomla content plugin
  2. create your flexicontent text field
  3. activate field pararameter "Trigger content plugins "
  4. select your plugin in Specific plugins only list
  5. use Remove space
  6. use plugin syntax in Prefix text e.g. {plugin_name}
  7. same thing for Suffix text e.g. {/plugin_name}

The resulting final complete syntax for executing the plugin will be like:
{plugin_name}my information{/plugin_name}

 

For example to use the Josdewplayer mp3 player

  1. do step 1-5
  2. In prefix text use  {play}your/url /folder
  3.  In suffix text use .mp3{/play}

Now your end user have to enter the name of mp3 file that is to be loaded by the mp3 player, e.g. mymp3file
This way the plugin text will become it generate and execute this code
{play}your/url /folder/mymp3file.mp3{/play}
