	$rssnippets = mysql_query($sqlsnippets);

it should be after these lines

<input type="hidden" name="richtext" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="reference" />
<?php } ?>

Sounds interesting, so I added the code to my file.. I don't see anything different in the editor. How is this supposed to work?

Thanks for your help, it would be a great feature to have.

I installed the code and have the drop-down but it doesn't really do anything... It gives me a list of snippets but selecting one doesn't place it in my document... Are you sure that you placed this code in manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php...:?: I'll check the code out more tomorrow...

Same here. Installed the code but selecting a snippet doesn't add anything in the editor. I did get it to work in a fashion with the HTMLArea editor in 0.6.1RC1. Here's the code I added to mutate_content.dynamic.action.php (approx. line 540, directly after

elseif($which_editor==2) {
  ?>

This is virtually the same code except that I'm only loading snippets in the select box which are not locked. I've also retrieved the description which is used as a title attribute, thus popping up as a tooltip when you mouse over the snippets.

To make it work in HTMLArea I've replaced the insertSnippet() javascript function which now makes a HTMLArea API call to insert the snippet into the content. This is still not ideal because it doesn't become part of HTMLArea's undo list. I don't know HTMLArea well enough yet to fix this. Ideally though, the selectbox should be part of the editor's toolbar instead of being separated.

Anyway, if you're using HTMLArea at least here's some kind of solution for you.
