Hi

I am trying learn basic of creating enclosing plugin

{
extract(lAtts(array(
	'name'=>' '
),$atts));
print_r($thing)(output nothing)	
}
function fuction2($atts){
extract(lAtts(array(
	'name'=>' '
),$atts));
}

In Front end

I’d start here: function2.

Re: Basic plugin development Problem

Start by taking a look at Extending Textpattern articles. Particularly in your case, if you wish to execute ‘enclosed’ tags, you would have to parse the contents supplied to your tag function through $thing argument. Parsing is normally done with parse() and EvalElse() functions. Tag functions then return their results opposed to outputting.

If you are not familiar with PHP, learning basics beforehand wouldn’t hurt. As tag functions go, there is very little Textpattern in Textpattern. Tags are just functions that given two arguments, other containing an array representing the supplied tag attributes and other the contained statement. Rest is up to tag function. Just normal everyday PHP. I would advice taking a peek at the core functions and how they do things. You can find some in the textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php file.
