custom RT for german and french quotes

[Cipolla]

Hi!

a customer of mine wanted all normal "quotes" shown as »french« quotes. There are many quotes in the site!

So i wrote a small hack to replace all quotes with the french or the german version. Maybe this is usefull.

The french version:

Code: Select all

<?php
// ==========================================================
// Replace normal quotes with »french« quotes (V 1.0)
// Klaus Winkler alias [Cipolla] http://www.empics24.de

// Create a file like "french_quotes.php" with this script and put it in the
// frontend_render folder
// ==========================================================

// ----------------------------------------------------------------
// obligate check for phpwcms constants
if (!defined('PHPWCMS_ROOT')) {
   die("You Cannot Access This Script Directly, Have a Nice Day.");
}
// ----------------------------------------------------------------

// Replace left quotes after a ending tag
  $content["all"] = str_replace('>"','>&raquo;', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace left quotes inside text
  $content["all"] = str_replace(' "',' &raquo;', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace right quotes before new tag
  $content["all"] = str_replace('"<','&laquo;<', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace right quotes inside text
  $content["all"] = str_replace('" ','&laquo; ', $content["all"]);

?>

The german version:

Code: Select all

<?php
// ==========================================================
// Replace normal quotes with „german“ quotes (V 1.0)
// Klaus Winkler alias [Cipolla] http://www.empics24.de

// Create a file like "german_quotes.php" with this script and put it in the
// frontend_render folder
// ==========================================================

// ----------------------------------------------------------------
// obligate check for phpwcms constants
if (!defined('PHPWCMS_ROOT')) {
   die("You Cannot Access This Script Directly, Have a Nice Day.");
}
// ----------------------------------------------------------------

// Replace left quotes after a ending tag
  $content["all"] = str_replace('>"','>&#132;', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace left quotes inside text
  $content["all"] = str_replace(' "',' &#132;', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace right quotes before new tag
  $content["all"] = str_replace('"<','&#147;<', $content["all"]);
  
  
// Replace right quotes inside text
  $content["all"] = str_replace('" ','&#147; ', $content["all"]);


?>

Very fine work, but it isn´t a hack, it´s a regular custom RT.

hello knut,

thanks for the flowers

Very fine work, but it isn´t a hack, it´s a regular custom RT.

i thought the definiton of an RT is ReplacementTAG and i did not write a tag like {FRENCH_QUOTE} but only a frontend render script.

Is it better to change the title to custom RT?

Is it better to change the title to custom RT?

YES, absolutely.
It is definitely no hack (We named a snippet "hack" if there is a core change).
