Mamblog Mambot Support Hack

If you have used the Joomla Blog Component called MamblogA pretty nice blogging component for Joomla, you may have noticed that it does not support Plugins (Mambots).

Allowing Mamblog to render Plugins

Once you have installed Mamblog on your Joomla Site, go to components/com_mamblog/mamblog.html.php and open the file for editing.

Find the line:

<?php echo $blog->text; ?>

<?php
			/** 
			*  Start Hack to Allow plugins to render in Mamblog
			*	Author: Fiji Web Design, http://www.fijiwebdesign.com 
			*/
			// plugins class instance
			global $_MAMBOTS;
			// get necessary params for plugins
			$page = 0;
			$params = new mosParameters( $blog->attribs );
			
			//echo nl2br(str_replace(' ', ' ', print_r($blog, 1)));
			
			// process plugins
			$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
			
			$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onAfterDisplayTitle', array( &$row, &$params, $page ) );
			echo trim( implode( "\n", $results ) );
			
			$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( $blog, $params, $page ), true );
			
			$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onBeforeDisplayContent', array( $blog, $params, 0 ) );
			echo trim( implode( "\n", $results ) );
			
			echo $blog->text; 
			
			$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onAfterDisplayContent', array( $blog, $params, $page ) );
			echo trim( implode( "\n", $results ) );
			
			/**
			*	End Plugin hack
			*/
			
			?>

Mamblog should now render plugins.
