Plugin that can put a fixed number into article - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

its kind of idea of virtue mart keeps total number of products thing.

so in article want like:

and have {number of widgets} in our product database!

so in admin area, i'd plug in number (variable) , when ever article parse {} tag or something, put var text of article calls it.

is there vaguely resembling plugins? i've searched google, not comes back.

any pointers great
thanks

custom post-processing plugins require custom coding...

you can achieve major template providers , others make use of tags quick styling , post-process these tags using plugin , replace html code users can write [table] instead of html code associated <table> example.

copy system plugin , make use of proper event post process html/system output before renders articles , replace these tags appropriately doing whatever need (logic, mysql queries, etc.).

joomla has existing plugins stuff copy 1 , modify it. reason make own augmenting others or modifying them lose changes when updating it. 1 off code should in own plugin likely.

otherwise, why don't use virtuemart? it's open source , free extension.
