RESOLVED Unable to get woody snippets to work

[rssail]

I'm trying to use woody snippets plugin in wordpress but can't get it to work.
Here's what I've done:

1. downloaded and activated woody snippets
2. created the following php snippet:
   <?php
   add_action('init','print2');
   function print2($str){
   $str = str_replace(",","<br>",$str);
   print $str . "<br>";
   }
   ?>
3. got the short code and added the following to a static page
   [wbcr_php_snippet id="96"]
   $test="yes";
   print2("$test");
   [/wbcr_php_snippet]

unfortunately, nothing happens. can someone provide steps to make this work?

UPDATE: Do woody snippets work in static pages or do we need to use a template?

Hello.

No need to write code inside the shortcode.
It must be:
1) Snippet:

function print2($str){
    $str = str_replace(",","<br>",$str);
    print $str . "<br>";
}
$test="yes,no,maybe";
print2($test);

2) Shortcode in post:
[wbcr_php_snippet id="96"]

Thanks, I tried that but it still doesn't work. Are you SURE woody snippets will run in a STATIC PAGE and if so how?

Yes it should work in the latest version of woody
Which version are you using?

What exactly isn't working? Is the shortcode displayed in the page text? Or the snippet code doesn't work?

Hi, Thanks for getting back. I was able to resolve the issue. I was confused by the play and stop button for the snippet under the status column. All's good.

Can I use Woody snippets to create a footer that has a form and submit button in it? Is there an example or tutorial?

In woody, you can create a snippet with a form and a submit button. But to place it in the footer your template must have footer widgets. Alternatively, select Auto-placement in the snippet settings and select Footer. Then the snippet will appear before the closing </body>tag
