[plugin] [ORPHAN] cno_replace_file

Hi there,

here is my very first (and simple) textpattern plugin: cno_replace_file .

With Textpattern version 4.0.6 file replacing is built in, so there is no need to use my plugin!

It’s just adding a replace function to the file edit view. There’s no file versioning yet.

I’m looking forward to implement a little document management system. Any comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Christian

It’s helpful :-)
Should be a built-in… but so much to do !
Thank you.

Textpattern rules ! So do plugin developpers !

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] cno_replace_file

chriloi,

can you explain the use of ob_start and ob_end? I know that it’s used for buffering, but to be honest I don’t know what that means.

Thanks!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] cno_replace_file

// First receive PHP Output Buffer into $buffer, clean the output buffer and disable PHP output buffering.
// None of the output generated before this function was called will be send to the browser!!
$buffer = ob_end_clean();

// Restart buffering to make sure that other functions can use the buffer too.
// All content that will be generated by PHP after this point will be send to the output buffer before it’s send to the browser.
ob_start();

// Do some string operations on the output generated before this function was called
$insertPlugin = ‘form action=“index.php” method=“post”’;
$pluginCode = $form.$insertPlugin;
$buffer = str_replace($insertPlugin,$pluginCode,$buffer);

// Return the whole buffer. All content will be in the buffer again.
echo $buffer;

I hope that’s clear now. For more information go to http://www.php.net/ob_end_clean .

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] cno_replace_file

Suddenly this brilliant plugin stopped working in 4.0.4 (I’m now on r2238) — or is it just me?

It works fine for me on a fresh installed 4.0.4…

I’ve been actively using it on 4.0.4 with zero problems.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] cno_replace_file

Doesn’t seem to work for me either, I am using a lot of other plugins, though none that mess with the file area… Well perhaps the admin facelift?
