site_info plugin development wrong tag_data being sent to plugin
Development and Programming
Hi,
I’m sure this is a stupid question, but I’m trying to develop a plugin to accept a site_id and parse a block of text replacing the relevant variable markers with the proper values for site information.
Sample usage:
<ul>{exp:weblog:entries site="not nonexistant"}
<li>{title} - {exp:site_info id="{entry_site_id}"}{site_name} - {site_description}{/exp:site_info}</li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}here is the relevant plugin code:
function Site_info() {
global $TMPL, $SESS;
if (!isset($SESS->cache['site_info'])) {
global $DB;
$query=$DB->query("SELECT site_label, site_name, site_description, site_id FROM exp_sites");
foreach($query->result as $value) {
$SESS->cache['site_info'][$value['site_id']]=$value;
}
//print_r($SESS->cache['site_info']);
//do the db query and stick site info into array here
}
$input_text = $TMPL->tagdata;
$site_id = (! $TMPL->fetch_param('id')) ? 1 : $TMPL->fetch_param('id');
print_r($input_text);
$search = array('{site_id}','{site_label}','{site_description}','{site_name}');
$replace = array($SESS->cache['site_info'][$site_id]['site_id'],$SESS->cache['site_info'][$site_id]['site_label'],$SESS->cache['site_info'][$site_id]['site_description'],$SESS->cache['site_info'][$site_id]['site_name']);
$this->return_data = str_replace($search,$replace,$input_text);
//Now do the actual conversion using the provited site_id parameter
}That includes a print_r debugging statement, used to show me what is included in $TMPL->tagdata, and I get a large part of the template before the bit inside the {exp:site_info} tags as part of the tag_data as well. What am I doing wrong?
Briefly (hopefully) the error ridden page can be viewed at http://test.gdlnap.org
Hey Tokyo,
Can I get a peak at the whole plugin? I’ll see if anything jumps out at me.

Sure, I was accidentally logged in with the client account last time, but I’m the same guy.

This is a test
<?php
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $buffer;
}
}
?>I think you’ll find there isn’t much more there than what I already included. For good measure, here is the template:

I was just about to take a look at this
Please let me know you do indeed have the issue figured out. 😊
Jamie
Yes, it was a bonehead mistake. I hope to make this plugin available to anyone else who might use it sometime very soon. Thanks for the responsiveness!
Glad to hear it. 😊
