This thread is getting long, but that's ok, I guess 8)

@abdussamad: Thanks for the links.

@RobA: About detecting if GD is installed, maybe you/we could use gd_info() for this?

I plan to work on the plugin this weekend, any updates will then be announced here. Let's hope there won't be any problems with the upgrade to Edgy Eft :wink:

Hi Mattsches

You can use writeboard for code, I use it often, just wrap your code like this

Code: Select all

<pre><code> put your code here, even on multiple lines </code></pre>

Alright folks, the new version 0.4 is online. Now supports both the sIFR and the GD-based methods. Six different free fonts included. Be sure to read the docs because from now on you must edit your templates for this to work. Oh yes, the default colors suck, but what the heck ... as long as it's running :lol:

I hope that some of you will install and test the plugin - and report any bugs, errors, or ideas for improvement. Please!

Regards

PS.: If someone knows a way how to feed an HTML string to smarty (instead of a title) without having to edit a template, please let me know :wink:

I'm looking forward to try this out, the config screen is a lot more detailed than it was before, and the GD seems to work on my test server at localhost, but I need to add your code to a template to test it properly.

New version 0.51

After Rob A has released his Dynamic Text Replacment plugin, I decided to remove all the GD stuff from my plugin again - for the time being. Reason: For using sIFR only, you don't need to edit any templates. So I cleaned up the code a little bit, and I added more config options. I also renamed the plugin to serendipity_event_imagereplacement. Not sure if this is the standard, but most of the plugins are named that way :wink:

For now, I'd like to consider this release "feature complete". If any bugs are found, I will fix them, but I won't put too much work into this plugin in the next time because I want to pay more attention to the microformats plugin.

Feel free to download the imagereplacement plugin from my plugins page.
