Thread

I have a question… can you create a plugin that works inside a tag?  Like, say, the weblog:entries tag? 

To be more accurate, I’ve seen that you can, but can you add parameters to that plugin inside a tag?

Like so:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" category="{exp:new_plugin data="New_data"}" parse="inwards"}
....
{/exp:weblog:entries}

I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t seem to work.  If you can’t use parameters in the plugin… it seems rather crippled somehow.

Anyone know?  I appreciate it!

You might want to look through this thread.

Thanks, Lisa, that thread is helpful.  However, it doesn’t exactly clear up my question—that thread dealt with plugins inside a weblog entries tag.  Or a pair tag.  I was more interested in a plugin that returns a parameter to another tag—I know it’s possible, but I’m not sure if the plugin can have parameters.  I hope that makes sense. 

Thanks for your help so far!
