Content plugins in categories (solution found!!!) was created by maia

Hi all !

Well, I'm having this problem. I can make joomla plugins work with flexicontent items, but it looks like it doesn't work with categories.

Excuse my ignorance, still learning flexicontent. Great software !

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This issue has been resolved already. Excuse the redundancy but i'll post the final code you'll need to insert in its respective file. Nevertheless, you should read the whole thing.

Code:

$category	=& $this->get('Category');
		$dispatcher	=& JDispatcher::getInstance();
		JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');
		$category->text = $category->description;
		$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContent',array (& $category, & $category->params, 0));
		$category->description = $category->text;

Cheers,
Maia

what plugins are you using?

I've tried with just a simple plugin like {backbutton} on the page with no avail. Initially I was trying with mosmap and it doesn't work as well.

When I insert the plugins in Flexycontent Items it works flawlessly.

I've enable content plugins inside the "description" field and the field is in the template.

Again ... it's weird. It works with Items but no with Categories.

I just tried using the {loadposition} plugin and it doesn't work. Tried with "modules anywhere" and javascript is not loaded.

Remember I'm just referring to the articles you insert in the categories. Items seem to work well.

Thanks. I really appreciate that.

But anyway, do you really think flexicontent doesn't support this plugins ? They work with flexicontent items but not with flexicontent categories. So they ARE supported ... at least, partially.
