content plugins are not triggered

Hi Ofi

I am having the same issue, for example with easyfolderlisting

Inside a joomla article you can execute the plugin or module like this:

{plugin_name}

or module

{module_name}

Modules works Ok cause you can insert direcly a module when addin line to the SP Page, but I did not found how trigger plugins.

I tried with a "raw html" and "text" line blocks, but did not worked.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your response. Yes I saw you mention and looks NOT officially supported.

Anyways, could you share the link ?

We were working in the past with Yootheme and have no problem triggering plugins at their templates. I hope you will support this in future developments officially.

Best Regards

Hi Paul

Thanks, we will take a look.

Will you consider to support it in the future ?

Best Regards

Sorry, there is no way in our products to trigger the plugin

This is false. I have the solution here :
( and please, SP Page Builder Team, pls integrate the solution in your addons - It's actually really simple )

Instruction :
The adjustment - for in this example the "Text Block"-Addon- is made my the following small adjustment :
You can add that adjustment yourself - without overriding core files - by creating an override in your template, in this example by copying the original addon text_block ( the whole folder ) into /templates/YOURTEMPLATE/sppagebuilder/addons/text_block

Then simply change the lines ( ca. line 29+ ) from :

        //Output
        $output  = '<div class="sppb-addon sppb-addon-text-block' . $dropcapCls . ' ' . $alignment . ' ' . $class . '">';
        $output .= ($title) ? '<'.$heading_selector.' class="sppb-addon-title">' . $title . '</'.$heading_selector.'>' : '';
        $output .= '<div class="sppb-addon-content">';
        $output .= $text;
        $output .= '</div>';
        $output .= '</div>';

        return $output;

to

        //Output
        $output  = '<div class="sppb-addon sppb-addon-text-block' . $dropcapCls . ' ' . $alignment . ' ' . $class . '">';
        $output .= ($title) ? '<'.$heading_selector.' class="sppb-addon-title">' . $title . '</'.$heading_selector.'>' : '';
        $output .= '<div class="sppb-addon-content">';
        ///////////////
        // Apply content plugins : 
        ///////////////
                $params = new JObject();
                $jarticle = new stdClass();
                $jarticle->text = $text;
                JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');
                $dispatcher = JEventDispatcher::getInstance();
                $dispatcher->trigger('onContentPrepare', array('text', &$jarticle, &$params, 0));
                $text = $jarticle->text;
        ///////////////
        $output .= $text;
        $output .= '</div>';
        $output .= '</div>';

        return $output;

And voilà, there you go :-)
Content-Plugins will now be rendered as they should.

Hope that helps someone

Hi lab5,
that looks fine but I get the following error message when I use the additional code in the addon text_block

Class "JEventDispatcher" not found

Have you an idea to solve that.

Thanks a lot in advance
