shadowbox/shadowpanel

I'm trying to get the CB1.1 registration component to load in the shadowpanel module. To do this I've tried using componentbot to embed the component into a content item. I'm then using a content module with that embedded componentbot tag, inside of shadowpanel. The problem is that when the content module is displayed in the shadowpanel the componentbot mambot tag is just appearing as text rather than processing the mambot and displaying the component.
The content module works great outside of the shadowpanel.

Any ideas? or alternative approaches?

Thanks!

Hi Shinkendo,

nice ideas on usage there :)

is the componentbot a Content Mambot?

if so then this may be the reason for this, you could try change this to a system mambot on load "onAfterStart"

this should load the bot all the time, and may solve the issue, no gurantees though

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to make it a system mambot (not exactly sure how though) In the PHP and XML for the bot, I changed the references to the 'content' directory to the 'system' directory, and changed the (onContentPrep) to (onAfterStart) then reinstalled the bot. I then got lots of php errors. My inexperience in shining brightly at this point! Still not working. Did I make the correct changes below?

	// simple performance check to determine whether bot should process further

	if ( strpos( $row->text, 'component' ) === false ) {

		return true;

	}	

	// define the regular expression for the bot

	$regex = "#{component}(.*?){/component}#s";

	// check whether mambot has been unpublished

	if ( !$published ) {

		$row->text = preg_replace( $regex, '', $row->text );

		return true;

	}

	// perform the replacement

		

	$row->text = preg_replace_callback( $regex, 'botComponentCode_replacer', $row->text );

		

	return true;

			. "\n WHERE element = 'componentbot'"

			. "\n AND folder = 'system'"

			;

			$database->setQuery( $query );

			$database->loadObject($mambot);

		

	 	$botParams = new mosParameters( $mambot->params );

	 	$height	= $botParams->def( 'height', '500' );

		$width	= $botParams->def( 'width', '500' );

		$parentopen = $botParams->def( 'parentopen', '0' );

	$url = $matches[1];

	$url = 'index2.php?' . $url;

	$para =   'id="componentbot" '.

				'src="'.$url.'" '.

				'width="'.$width.'" '.

				'height="'.$height.'" '.

				'frameborder="0" '.

				'allowtransparency="true" '.

				'scrolling="no" ';

     $url = "<iframe ".$para." >\n".

        "<p>Sorry, your browser cannot display frames!</p>\n".

        "</iframe>\n";

	return $url;

}

yes it works outside of shadowpanel perfectly. When I display it just as a content module it works perfectly. but when I diplay that module in shadowpanel, no joy.

Thanks for thinking about this. I'll think of a workaround in the meantime.

Cheers! PS. EXCELLENT work on these extensions. I'm impressed!
