Get it here:

The footnotes plugin ease the creation of footnotes with the following formats: tooltips such as this and anchor links such as this1. Adding those footnotes is as easy as using:

HTML:

<footnote note="Header::Footnote goes here">Main Text</footnote>

Note: b2evolution version < 1.10

Make sure that you turn on “Use Alternate Syntax” which follows the bbcode conventions (i.e. [footnote note="hello"]world[/footnote])

To install, just unzip the entire folder to your plugins directory and follow the readme.html inside.

b2evolution version ≥ 1.10.3 Note

The Auto P plugin of b2evolution 1.10.3 (including the 2.x releases) has been modified which paragraph-breaks ALL HTML comments including the meta-comments used by the footnotes plugin. Line 105 of [blogroot]/plugins/_auto_p.plugin.php has to be modified from:

PHP:

// Handle blocks, splitted by comments. This includes especially the "meta-comments"
// ("<!–more–>", "<!–nextpage–>" or "<!–noteaser–>"):
$content_parts = preg_split( ‘~(<!–.*?–>)~s’, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
$content_parts[] = ‘’;

to

PHP:

// Handle blocks, splitted by comments. This includes especially the "meta-comments"
// ("<!–more–>", "<!–nextpage–>" or "<!–noteaser–>"):
$content_parts = preg_split( ‘~(<!–(?:more|nextpage|noteaser)–>)~s’, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
$content_parts[] = ‘’;

More information can be read from the documentation.

Hi;

I am getting the "Tag ilegal: footnote" no matter what I do.
I believe I have followed all the right instructions.
Any clue?

Thanks

Hi;

I guess I must add something to the formatting.php but what and where?

Thanks

Make sure that the footnote is enabled. (In the write page, it's at the lower-right corner). Alternatively, you can set it to "opt-it" under the plugin settings.
# GCasanova Email on 08/06/07 at 07:57
I have footnote enabled but I always get the Illegal Tag.

I've tried in three different blogs in two different servers.

the plugin works, but the tooltips appear in windows standard format and not as set up in the css file. i added the content of the sample.css to my skin css file, the appearence of the links is accordingly, only the tooltips don't work..

Hi. I am running b2evolution 1.10.2. I installed version 0.3 of the plugin. I followed the instructions in the documentation and, like others who have commented here, I am getting the "Tag illegal: footnote" error when I try to add a footnote to a post.

I set the plugin to use use alternate syntax and tried the BBCode style method:

[footnote note="my footnote"]Footnote text goes here[/footnote]

The footnote text is rendered as normal text (same as the rest of the post). Could this be a CSS issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

Sorry, I forgot to test the plugin using the bbcode syntax. Please get the update which fixes the bug.

Again, I apologize for the late reply (been busy for the past week).
# Wil [Member] Email on 17/05/08 at 12:45
A follow-up: Did you enable the plugin in the post? By default, the plugin is opt-in.
# Sean on 05/10/08 at 21:34
Any chance you might be updating this plugin to work with 2.x?
# Wil [Member] Email on 06/10/08 at 00:09
It should work with 2.x, (in fact, I'm using it right now in this installation).
# Sean on 06/10/08 at 17:00
Hrmm... When I try and install it it tells me:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in plugins/_footnotes.plugin.php on line 251

# Wil [Member] Email on 06/10/08 at 18:38
Try removing the "private" keyword in that line. Chances are, you're using PHP4?
# Sean on 18/10/08 at 22:45
It worked! Thanks a lot!
# slamp on 22/10/08 at 02:15
Does this plugin work with b2evolution 2.4 ?
# Wil [Member] Email on 22/10/08 at 10:25
Well, my blog is running on 2.4 so I guess so? ;)
