The Fontizer - Graphical Text made easy

No problem.

By the way, the Fontizer Forum is installed. I guess this would be the appropriate place to discuss about Fontizer and other related things.

Hi

I hope this is not a stupid question…

Does any body implement “The Fontizer” for the {NAV_ROW} RT?

Thanks, Sven

this is possible yet. Here is a sample:

Code: Select all

// row based navigation
$template_default["nav_row"]["before"]				= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["after"]				= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["between"]				= '<img src="template/img/unav_spacer.gif" alt="" border="" width="14" height="13">';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_before"]			= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_after"]			= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_before_active"]	= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_after_active"]	= '';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_direct_before"]			= '{GT:DIN-N}';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_direct_after"]			= '{/GT}';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_direct_before_active"]	= '{GT:DIN-O}';
$template_default["nav_row"]["link_direct_after_active"]	= '{/GT}';

Used here (subnav):

as far as i can see here you are using GT and not Fontizer (i.e. "Der Verein" is not split up into two pics).

Hi

It doesn’t work.

I did …

Upload all files (separate from phpwcms)

CHMOD cache folder to 777

Edit index.php with

Code: Select all

	$f_text->config('font_path', '/usr/home/ew2005_dev/dev.ewadmin.ch/fontizer/fonts/');
	$f_text->config('cache_base_path', '/usr/home/ew2005_dev/dev.ewadmin.ch/fontizer/cache/');
	$f_text->config('cache_site_path', 'http://dev.ewadmin.ch/fontizer/cache/');

I receive this response

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /usr/home/ew2005_dev/dev.ewadmin.ch/fontizer/fontizer.class.php on line 1

Does the server need some configurations?

thanks, Sven

for what fontizer - fontizer isn't implemented yet.

But for your needs there is a solution. And NAV_ROW is building splitted images because what long sub structure names do you use!

Hi all,

Jerôme, do u know this one?
http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/
seems nice too. It has the advantage that it actually keeps the fonts... (uses flash and javascript) so you can copy/paste the titles. Ur mod is nice though, don't get me wrong, I do use it

Cheers

Ooops. Haven't seen this one.

Yes, I really like sifr, too, but: The advantage of the Fontizer is that it does not need javascript or flash. I know, everybody should have that, but not everybody has

Also, it seems like using Flash and Javascript is a bit unnecessary when you could just generate an image. Jerome, I prefer your method.

Jérôme · Post by **Jérôme** » Mon 11. Jul 2005, 22:46

sifr definitively has advantages. You can for example copy and paste the text. When using sifr, you can handle the generated text like normal text. That's pretty cool.

But, you know, I wanted to re-invent the wheel. There are so many good solutions out there, but there is the "I CAN DO THIS TOO" in my head, I can't fight it

Yeps Jerôme,
As said:

but there is the "I CAN DO THIS TOO" in my head, I can't fight it

is the very thing that keeps all of us going

Cheers
