I'm using the banner-module and I want some text of the banner to be visible as well, as it now only shows images. If I could show the description, or the alt-text below the image, this would be great. I'm calling the module as follows:

Code: Select all

      {cms_module module='Banners' category="Banners"}

Hi Ronny,

here is a solution for you:

Add this user defined tag "BannerText":

$category = $params['category'];
global $gCms;
if( !isset( $gCms->modules['Banners'] ) ||
!isset( $gCms->modules['Banners']['object'] ) )
{
return;
}
$returnid = "";
if (isset($gCms->variables['pageinfo']))
{
$returnid = $gCms->variables['pageinfo']->content_id;
}
$banners = $gCms->modules['Banners']['object'];
$banner_param['category'] = $category;
ob_start();
$banners->DoAction( 'default', 0, $banner_param, $returnid );
$bannerlink = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if( preg_match( "/alt="([^"]*)"/", $bannerlink, $matches ) == 1 )
{
$text = $matches[1];
$bannerlink = str_replace( "", "$text", $bannerlink );
}
echo( $bannerlink );

Instead of including your banners the common way

{cms_module module='Banners' category="Banners"}

now you do it this way:

{BannerText category='Banners'}

This prints your image's alt text below/after the image. (If you want to add a line break before the text, use "$text
")

Hope, this helps you

Steppenwolf,

thanks a lot so far, but I don't get the text on the next line, even with the
, it still writes it next to the banner instead of on the next line.

The last lines of the changed UDT:

Code: Select all

{
  $text = $matches[1];
  $bannerlink = str_replace( "</a>", "$text<br /></a>", $bannerlink );
}
echo( $bannerlink );

If you check the site, www.terspille.nl, you see the banner on the left, with the name of the banner on the side.

Ronny,

sorry, it was a mistake:

instead of

"$text
"

it should be

"
$text"
