Enhancement: Allow Pods Templates to call other Pods Templates like a Shortcode but safer submitted via Slack by jimtrue

this would be like an 'include template' but hopefully with a little bit more control, like passing the pod and orderby, etc.

Also worth seeing https://github.com/pods-framework/pods-code-library/blob/master/example/misc/examples/shortcodes-in-templates.php and https://github.com/pods-framework/pods-code-library/blob/56828e7dcc8715eafcd5f370d8232ec913c191e6/example/misc/examples/shortcode-in-template.php

Both could be lead to unsafe execution, but some conditional logic could create a whitelist

Remember @Shelob9 people don't want to code. The above implies 'coding'

Shelob9 commented 8 years ago

OK, but one of those is one line of code they can copypaste. Not sure I have enough empathy for this situation to suggest a whole UI.

Take a look at my recommendation above. Mine is more of 'allow basically the functionality of calling another shortcode within a template' type of solution. That would be more useful, ie sending parameters like sort or filtering or where clauses directly within a template. Recall, this is for the user, not for the Developer.

There are multiple situations where not being able to touch the code at all, makes this a very useful capability.
