Hi,

 

I am trying to use use PHP + CSS Dynamic Text Replace (http://www.joaomak.net/util/dtr/). I got it to work fine running a "normal" web site, but when I put it into wordpress it would not work. However, the creator of the script added instructions for making it work within CMSs like wordpress. His instructions were:

 

If you are using this script in a CMS that doesn't allow you to use output buffering functions, simply comment the line with `ob_start('PCDTR_init');` in the class.php file and, in your code, execute $content=PCDTR_init($content); with your generated content string.

 

I commented out the ob_start line. I understood that. But what does the $content part mean? The full instructions are below.

 

1. In the beggining of the HTML insert:

 

<?php include 'pcdtr/php/class.php'; ?>

 

  And at the bottom:

 

<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>

 

 

2. Link the style sheet inside the <head>:

 

<link href="pcdtr/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

 

  or inside your css:

 

  @import "pcdtr/styles.css";

 

  and start styling!

 

 

3. Copy your font files (.ttf or .otf) to the pcdtr folder.

  OBS: .otf fonts seems to have problems with accents

 

The Code for the page of a normal (non wordpress) web site:

 

<?php include 'pcdtr/php/class.php'; ?>

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>

<title>PHP + CSS Dynamic Text Replacement Example</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<meta name="author" content="joaomak.net" />

<link href="pcdtr/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>

 

 

<body style="padding:2em;background:#d6dee9;">

 

<p>Replaced Elements:</p>

<h1 class="new">PHP & CSS <a href="http://pcdtr.googlecode.com/">Dynamic Text Replacement</a></h1>

 

</body>

 

</html>

 

<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>

 

 

So what do I do with $content=PCDTR_init($content); to make it work in wordpress?

$content refers to the buffered output of the page. PCDTR_init() goes over this buffered content making replacements on the headings in it. So if wordpress uses an output buffer, find it and make the call to PCDTR_init() to it after page content has been executed.

ok, I'm still not real sure what I am doing. If I wanted my dynamic text to be "Hello World" and the div class for the dynamic content to be class="dynamic" would it look something like this:

 

<?php include 'pcdtr/php/class.php'; ?>

<html>

<head>
<link href="pcdtr/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
<div class="dynamic"><?php echo "$replace";?></div>
</body>

</html>

<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>
<?php $replace=PCDTR_init($replace);?>

 

(I tried the code above but it didn't work)
