the simplest extension

Saturday 08 April 2006 5:03:24 am

Hi,

<b>The situation</b>
I am playing with the extension system. I need to add a new

<b>wash('textism')</b>

so I thought to override the original

lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatestringoperator.php

with a new

extension/washtextism/lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatestringoperator.php

that has a patched version of the <b>switch</b> within

function wash(...)

.

Here is the patch (diff original new):

>             {
>               $patterns = array('/\_([^\_]+)\_/', '/\*([^\*]+)\*/', '/\^([^\^]+)\^/', '/\~([^\~]+)\~/');
>               $replacements = array('<em>\1</em>', '<strong>\1</strong>', '<sup>\1</sup>', '<sub>\1</sub>');
>               ksort($patterns);
>               ksort($replacements);
>               $operatorValue = preg_replace( $patterns,
>                                                                          $replacements,
>                                                                          htmlspecialchars( $operatorValue )
>                                                                       );
>             } break;
>             
>             case 'strip':
>             {
>               $operatorValue = striptags( $operatorValue );
>             } break;

<b>The problem</b>
The override of the .php file is no consideret, at all, by the system. I am sure it works by itself since I tried it in the original file for debug purposes, only.

Suggestions?

Thank you and thanks to #ezpublish on freenode, too.

I have found that great RAD template operator wizard and in about 15 mins I had my template operator extension ready and published! Cool!

Here you can find the extension
