Very nice output, but I cannot see anything on your Admin page for this module?

I know, i am doing that part, you can enjoy it, changing the content, maybe ADDING new IMAGE TEXT.

Aha, now I see from the module help page. This is very interesting. Would it be possible to use this for e.g. the {title} of the content pages?

I wrote the same thing about ADMIN on first post of this topic

About {title} i don't understand very well the request, do you want an Image Text over title caption of your browser????

If it is i don't think it's possible.

He means that he wants to automatically create an image with the text that's in {title}.  The module could possibly use the ContentTitle function to grab the title and then use it if a usetitle="true" option was passed to the module.

I don't know of any ways of using a smarty plugin in the default DoAction.  The module code isn't really integrated with smarty at all.

Wishy

in this way i get the page_id
********
global $gCms;
$params['text'] = strtoupper($gCms->variables[page_name]);
********

Starting from $gCms i guess there is a method or something else for get the Title rigth?
Must i access from DB?

I was thinking something like this would work...  ContentTitle will be called before DoAction('default'), so you should be good.

Code: Select all

class MyModule extends  CMSModule
{
  var $curtitle;
  function ContentTitle(&$title)
  {
    $this->curtitle = $title;
  }
}

Ok thanks for this info, but at the moment ImageText is a special module, because isn't called like a module but like a smarty TAG.
Inside DoAction('default') i do NOTHING now.

From "function.imagetext.php" plugin of Smartys i got $gCms global variable structure, i am searching a way to get the Title from this structure.

I did this:

Code: Select all

class MyModule extends  CMSModule
{
  var $curtitle;
  function ContentTitle(&$title)
  {
    $this->curtitle = $title;
  }
}

But "curtitle" is BLANK.

Oh, it's a plugin.  Gotcha.

Well, I just looked through the code and title is not put into $gCms anywhere.  You're only real option is:

Code: Select all

$contentobj = ContentManager::LoadContentFromId($id, false);
$title = $contentobj->GetName();
