Editor-xtd button plugin

[gubagy]

Hi guys,

After several years of fascination with Joomla! I took the decision to get my hand dirty in code and programming. The last time when had written something that a computer can understand was for 8 bit computers when was teenager . So i made free time and got into PHP - I loved it ! and consequently I bought a book (according to the authors) Professional guide to programming Joomla!. Everything was going fine up to the moment i decided to test the provided code. It was broken !!! a real "Professional guide" !

It is a Editor-xtd button plugin and that is the PHP code:

Code: Select all

<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

$mainframe->registerEvent('onCustomEditorButton', 'plgSmileyButton');

/**
 * Smiley button
 *
 * @name string Name of the editor
 * @return array Array of three elements: JavaScript action, Button name, CSS class.
 */
function plgSmileyButton($name)
{
    global $mainframe;

    // get the image base URI
    $doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
    $url = $mainframe->isAdmin() ? $mainframe->getSiteURL() : JURI::base();
    
	// get the JavaScript
    $js = "
    function insertSmiley()
    {
        jInsertEditorText(' :) ');
    }
    ";

    $css = "    .button1-left .smiley { background: url($url/plugins/editors-xtd/smiley1.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; }";
    $css .= "\n    .button2-left .smiley { background: url($url/plugins/editors-xtd/smiley2.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; }";
    $doc->addStyleDeclaration($css);
    $doc->addScriptDeclaration($js);
    $button = array("insertSmiley()", JText::_('Smiley'), 'smiley');

    return $button;
}

?>

Here the xml file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<install version="1.5.0" type="plugin" group="editors-xtd" method="upgrade">
	<name>Button - Smiley</name>

		<filename plugin="smiley">smiley.php</filename>
		<filename>smiley1.gif</filename>
		<filename>smiley2.gif</filename>
	</files>
	
	<params />

</install>

and that is the error:

Code: Select all

How you can guess in is not about the plugin itself but it really bugs me why it breaks. According to the author that is legitimate way for writing an editor-xtd plugins -> Obviously not


Any help highly appreciated

Thanks in advance
