dudes..

I know it is a very old plug-in, but seeing there is nothing that can replace it, I still use it. However I have one small problem with it, which I can't seem to find.

Somehow there is an extra title above the page, which I can't remove, example: http://www.killbox1alpha.nl/plug.php?e=whatsnew
The 'What's new in blue, between header menu and the white title.

Can some-one please check and see if I really do need a seeing eye dog? thx in advance..

 

these are the files of the plug-in:

I'm pretty sure it's not the php but the tpl file for the plugin.

 

It probably looks like this: {TITLE} Just remove it and the blue link will disapear.

there is no tpl file in this plug-in, all the html output is included in the php. As you may have noticed, there is only one title in there, on the correct spot.. Hence, me coming here to see is some-one knows where that is coming from..

BTW,  Recent Items plugin in Siena has a standalone part which shows you what's new since your last visit or selected period. You can try it here.

May the Source be with you!

In your themes directory you will have plugin.tpl. Even though this plugin doesn't use an individual tpl; it uses plugin.tpl by default. (And through the tag {PLUGIN_TITLE} it will display the title twice). The rest of the plugin is being displayed through the tag {PLUGIN_BODY}.

@ Trust

still running on Genoa.

@Dyllon

So how do I prevent this plugin from grabbing back on the plugin_title tag?

Where it says $plugin_body = ""; change it to $plugin_title="";

Line 38, change:

$plugin_body .= "<h2>".$L['plu_title']."</h2>";

To:

$plugin_body .= "<h2 style=\"margin:0;\">".$L['plu_title']."</h2>";

Not the nicest solution (CSS is better) but should work.

That's the biggest downside of having hard coded html in your php files. Unfortunately it will require some tweaking (assuming your using other plugins that require plugin.tpl) for it to come out how you want it displayed.

@ Gert.. nope, didn't fix it.

@ dyllon

 

As said, it's a very old plug-in, but there isn't really a good replacement for it. Some time ago I tried to fixed it so that it does use a tpl, but my php knowledge is far to small for it to actually work, so I eventually gave up on that.
It's one of the oldest I use, and as far as I know the only one without a tpl (besides those plug-in that don't need one)

If you aren't using plugin.tpl for anything else other than this plugin; Then there is an extremely simple solution:

change your plugin.tpl to look like this:

<!-- BEGIN: MAIN -->

{PLUGIN_TITLE}

{PLUGIN_BODY}

<!-- END: MAIN -->
