Reusable and editable snippets with variable interpolation

Features
--------

[](#features)

Using plugin settings to alter large chunks of HTML is repetitive and not very efficient: you have to update plugins settings, remember in which plugin a setting lives, figure out how to populate default values, implement weird mechanics to interpolate variables etc.

This plugin makes it easy, just create a snippets in your views and will be available for editing via admin interface. Snippets can then be injected into your views with `elgg_snippet()`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once the plugin is enabled, snippets can be edited under Admin > Appearance > HTML Snippets.

Create a default snippet as a .twig view anywhere in `views/default/snippets/`:

```
// my-plugin/views/default/snippets/page/footer.twig

  Contact Us

```

Render a snippet where it belongs:

```
// my-plugin/views/default/somewhere.php
echo elgg_snippet('page/footer');
```

You can provide the title and the description of the snippet using translations:

```
// languages/en.php
return [
   'snippet:page/footer' => 'Page Footer Template',
   'snippet:page/footer:help' => 'Displayed on all pages in the footer area',
];
```

Storage
-------

[](#storage)

Snippet overrides are stored in the dataroot, so be sure to copy them over if migrating your site. You can also reset to default template, by deleting a corresponding snippet from the dataroot.
