Just wanted to put in another “thank you” for a very useful plug-in. I was trying to get reeposition to work in a conditional and having no luck. Fired this up and no problems - great plug-in - and it looks like I’m only scratching the surface regarding how to use it in a site!

Edit: turns out I’m having some weirdnesses using it in conditionals that I don’t have time now to track down. So don’t quote me on that part

I’ve been using the LG Replace, FF Matrix combo for image uploads into content areas on the last few sites I’ve done. It really is a powerful way to give clients more control over image placement.

This sounds exactly like what I want to do with a current site. Does this work when inserting the FF Matrix combo into a wygwam field?

Yes this is working great. However wygwam is inserting p tags around the needle. Anyone know a way to remove those p tags?

Quick note to say I have rewritten this plugin for EE2. In the short term you can grab it from Github until I move it to my new site.

Miraculous. Not only does this:

<?php
    /* PHP Parse on Input */
    global $DB;
    $sql = "SELECT title, field_id_26
            FROM exp_weblog_titles t JOIN exp_weblog_data d ON t.entry_id = d.entry_id
            WHERE t.weblog_id = 8 AND t.status='open'";
    $links = $DB->query($sql);
    $linkList = '';
    foreach($links->result as $link) {
        $linkList .= $link['title'] . '|';
    }
?>
{exp:lg_replace:haystack needles="<?php echo $linkList; ?>|vanity-url"}
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="site-specific-content" dynamic="off" search:site-key="={embed:site-key}" search:name="{embed:name}"}
        {detail}
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
    <?php
    foreach($links->result as $link) { ?>
        {exp:lg_replace:replacement needle="<?php echo $link['title']; ?>"}
            <?php echo $link['field_id_26']; ?>
        {/exp:lg_replace:replacement}
    <?php } ?>
    {exp:lg_replace:replacement needle="vanity-url"}
        {segment_1}
    {/exp:lg_replace:replacement}
{/exp:lg_replace:haystack} 

Appear to be working, but it replaces the link list values first, and then replaces {vanity-url} within them. Not sure if there’s a more elegant way than PHP set to process on input, but am thrilled this worked so well.

What an amazing plugin! Thank you for something I’ve been needing!!!! For some reason, I seem to be missing how variables work with this plugin. Say I have {photos_12} in a weblog entry. The # 12 is dynamic, and will changed based on what photo needs to be added. I put in bold the problem areas for me. (What to put here?) Currently my code looks like:

{embed="global_embeds/header"}

    {exp:nsm_replace:haystack}
        
        {exp:channel:entries weblog="pages"}
            
            {page_body}
            
        {/exp:channel:entries}
            
        {exp:nsm_replace:content needle="photo_[b]What to put here?[/b]"}

            [b]What to put here[/b]

        {/exp:nsm_replace:content}    
            
    {/exp:nsm_replace:haystack}

{embed="global_embeds/footer"}

Hope that makes sense…

I think you will find the answer in this thread, if I’ve understood your question correctly.

Thanks a bunch for the link! It gave me some more ideas. However, I think I know how to explain what I am needing to do a little bit better. If I am understanding correctly, this tutorial relies on the assumption that there are a fixed number of images. I will be using this on various pages, and one page might need 10 images while another might only need 2.

Ideally I would like to call up my images doing something like {image_1_left} or {image_1_left_large}. I would use img resizer to take care of the necessary processing, etc. So my issue is how would I do this without a set number of images? Is it possible with this plugin?

Ooh, maybe I have a solution. I could use Playa to select the images I want to use with a certain channel entry, and then count the # of rows in the Playa field, use a loop, etc. The thing it would NOT take care of would be if I wanted to specify float left or right on the images, etc.

I use it when there are a variable number of images and the ability to choose alignment and size.

Hello,

I am actually looking for something that replaces dynamic text content with an image.

For example, I have a list of features for products and where the feature says ‘yes’, I want to replace this with an image of a ‘tick’ and when ‘no’ I want to replace that with an image of a ‘cross’.

Because my custom field for the yes/no is driven by a select list with one custom_field_name, I am not sure whether this Plugin works?? Hopefully my query makes sense here. From my understanding this plugin works off the custom_field name or tag_name and not off the actual dynamic output of the tag???

I am looking for something that basically finds a word ‘yes’ and ‘no’ and outputs an image instead. Does this plugin do that ?

You’re probably better off with Find/Replace then:
