Plugin displaying closing tag as HTML
Development and Programming
Hey Guys/Gals, I have been working on a plugin which basically blocks specific users based on the area code of the user. But I have ran into a snag. I am using the plugin to pretty much govern the whole site so I wont have to put the geolocating code into each template. Can pretty much call it like any other tag and the page is secure. Anyways, while coding this I’m having a problem closing the {exp:member:login_form} tag without having it display on the page. It’s pretty odd.
Running 1.6.7 EE.
This is the snippit from the plugin:
if ($return_eval == 0)
{
global $FNS;
$return_url = $FNS->fetch_current_uri();
$this->return_data = "<center>

Greetings ArchAngelUGP, and welcome to the forums!
Instead of using ExpressionEngine template tags in your plugin, I would probably consider using $FNS->redirect to redirect the user to a new login page. Also do a var_dump of $OUT to see what’s available there as well.

ETA: I’m going to move this down to the plugin forums, as it’s a better fit.
My suggestion would be to have the plugin parse a conditional, allowing you to include the tag in your template, which is afterall where tags are intended to go.
