My image replacement plug-in doesnt’ work/doesn’t error
Development and Programming
Howdy folks - I’ve written a very simple plugin to frontend P+C DTR image replacement in EE. The image replacement script works (thought it’s VERY picky) on my server.
Here’s the code (I haven’t added any of the usage, version, or display stuff into it yet) It’s located in my plug-ins folder, and it’s called: pi.ee_pifr.php
<?php
include '[path to my PCDTR]/class.php';
class Ee_pifr
{
var $return_data = "TEST";
function Ee_pifr()
{
global $TMPL;
$containerType = $TMPL->fetch_param('containerType');
$graphicText = $TMPL->fetch_param('graphicText');
$graphicClass = $TMPL->fetch_param('graphicClass');
$this->return_data = "<".$containerType." class='".$graphicClass."'>".$graphicText."</".$containerType.">";
}
}
ob_end_flush();
?>and here’s my test template code:
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="agent"}
{exp:ee_pifr containerType="span" graphicText="${prd_streetPrice}" graphicClass="buy"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but there’s no output, and no error. Your thoughts?
Mod Edit: Moved to the Plugins: Technical Assistance Forum
UPDATE: OK, now it’s outputting (removed the weblog=”agent”, which was wrong) But now it’s outputting text, not images. I’m investigating. I’ll post here when I get it fixed.
Hi Dan,
I haven’t replicated your code on my machine but I’d remove the ob_end_flush function since I can’t see where you are initiating the output buffer or adding data to it.

Dan, did you ever get this to work? I would like to implement it on my site.
Hi fogcity. No, it does not work. I haven’t had time to hack at it. Not sure if it’s an EE,server, or PCDTR problem. PCDTR is quite picky.
Bummer.
Has anyone made PCDTR work with EE?
Allows non-standard (non-Web-safe) fonts to be used, by watching the PHP output buffer for relevant tags (<h2> etc) and automatically generating replacement graphics using those fonts.
Also, creates alternate graphics for rollovers as well, if I’m not mistaken.
Unlike sIFR, does not require Flash (so it would work on an iPhone).
