Poodll Snippet

Poodll Snippet is simple html/text template tool for Moodle’s Atto editor. Use it to add text, layouts, buttons and other content from templates directly into Moodle HTML areas.
Snippet is a template solution for Moodle content creation. Templates and variables(placeholders) are declared in the admin settings for the plugin. When the icon is click on the Atto editor, the user can choose the template and the values for each of the variables. The placeholders and template are then merged to create the final content which is then inserted on the page.
Snippet has no filter plugin companion. It returns html directly to the text area. This is useful when the content doesn’t need javascript, and has the benefit that the content is instantly visible and editable in the text area (ie without filtering). As an example of this, the Youtube template will display a Youtube video in the html editor text area immediately.
Installation
If using zip, first download and unzip the file, and place the snippet folder in your Moodle’s /lib/editor/atto/plugins folder. Or use git directly from the /lib/editor/atto/plugins folder, ie
git clone https://github.com/justinhunt/moodle-atto_snippet.git snippet
Then visit your site admin’s notifications page. The plugin installer will walk through the installation process. At the end you will see a list of 5 templates. You can leave them for now and fill them in later.  3 of the templates are blank, and a helloworld and a youtube template are automatically created for you.
Before the Snippet icon will be visible in the Atto toolbar you will need to visit site admin -> plugins -> text editors -> atto -> atto toolbar settings, and add “snippet” to the list of icons to display. There is a text area towards the bottom of the page for this purpose.
Using Snippet
To use a snippet, look for the spider web/cog icon on the text editor. (Feel free to submit a cooler icon.) Checking on that should open the Snippet dialog with a button for each snippet.
To make a snippet, find an empty snippet template page in the plugin’s admin settings, site admin -> plugins -> text editors -> atto -> Snippet(Atto) -> Snippets. Enter a name for the snippet, the content of the snippet and any default variable values. Variables can be used in the snippet content and are surrounded by {{ or }} marks. Like this: {{bigvariable}}
An example snippet:
Snippet Name
sweety
Snippet
My sweet food on {{weekday}} is: {{mysweety}}
Defaults
mysweety=candy,weekday=Monday
This could display as:
My sweet food on Thursday is: cake
