For future reference Inline PHP is the best one I have tested (on version 2.9 – even though currently it is not “approved” for 2.9).
However when switching to visual all of the <exec> and </exec> tags disappear and all that is left is the code raw and fragile.

I tested the following code:

<exec>
$test=’My big test<br />’;
echo $test;
echo ‘This is a test’;
</exec>

And this is what it shows:

My big test
This is a test

I am really excited. This plugin has a lot of potential.

I have spent a large portion of today fighting the good fight with Typo3. Typo3 won the battle. I am sure if I knew what I am doing it would have been an easy task, but since I am still fumbling with that CMS, it was very hard and didn’t yield anything like what I hoped it would do. Bummer!

Out of morbid curiosity I looked for a similar plugin in WordPress and I found this one. Switching to WordPress looks like a brilliant idea right now… Sob! registration

Real simple!

I really don’t know what happened to browsershots.org. It seems pretty dead, which is really sad since it was a great way to see how websites I worked, look on platforms I was not very likely to be accessing in RL.

Oh, well. I found that Adobe is offering similar service (although not as extensive as browsershots.org).
browserlab.adobe.com
Registration is required. I used my “regular” Adobe user name and password and that was good enough.

I think this one has good potential:

Off to sink or swim…
