Joomla content plugins in page and problem with module params for flexicontent

[desbear]

I add

process:
   filters:
       [ext:joomla.template.filter.module.plugins]

and want to use regularlabs moduleanywhere in page. but after I add plugins to the filters. My page always show error 0.

Originally, I tried to refer to the flexicontent module by bringing the parameters in the params of the ktml:moduleof the page, but an error would occur as long as the params were brought in.

<ktml:module name="flexicontent" params="<?= json(["layout" => "mod22-userstory-items",  "count" => 5, "count_feat" => 0, "method_tags" => "3",  "tag_ids" => ["15", "16", "322"]])?>">

Happy to help you, but going to need a bit more info here.

Turn on error reporting

First please turn on debug and set error reporting to max, this should produce a more meaning full error page? This should be a default when you do development with Pages.

Plugins filter

The code for the plugins filters is here: contrib/extensions/joomla/template/filter/plugins.php. This filter will wrap a block of content and process it using content plugins.

<ktml:plugins>
[Content to be wrapped and processed by content plugins]
</ktml:plugins>

It triggers:

• onContentBeforeDisplay
• onContentPrepare
• onContentAfterDisplay

It could be that one of the content plugins cannot handle this approach. Haven't tested this at length yet with different plugins. Internally it makes use of the event template helper, which wraps the Joomla event dispatcher.

Regularlabs Modules Anywhere

Why would you want to do this? The whole idea behind Pages is that you get full control over how and when you render content where, the Pages template and layout system is vastly more powerful than Joomla and or Modues Anywhere. I would consider that a very complex workaround.

Pages has a concept called blocks, that allows you move content anywhere on a page. Check: #704 to get an idea how this works.

Flexicontent Module

Using <ktml:module> to bring a module would be the right approach, you can then combine that with blocks if needed. At first sight i think the problem is that you are not escaping the json. See: .../contrib/extensions/joomla/template/filter/module.php#L34

Try:

<? 
$params = [
   "layout" => "mod22-userstory-items",  
   "count" => 5, 
   "count_feat" => 0, 
   "method_tags" => "3",  
   "tag_ids" => ["15", "16", "322"]
] 
?>

<ktml:module name="flexicontent" params="<?= json($params, true)?>">

Thank you johanjanssens
Actually I want to show the flexicontent module and overwrite params in joomlatools page.
Before I use joomlatools page. I usually insert flexicontent module in flexicontent item. To make the modules show some items related to the original flexicontent item.
but I don't know how to insert the flexicontent's tags event in joomlatools page to make flexicontent module know the relation with the page. So I try to insert flexicontent module and overwrite params in page.
` "mod22-userstory-items", "count" => 5, "count_feat" => 0, "method_tags" => "3", "tag_ids" => ["15", "16", "322"] ] ?>

<ktml:module name="flexicontent" params="">`
I try this but still not work.

and some error msg.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: mysqli object is already closed in /Users/bearlee/www/website/libraries/joomlatools/library/database/adapter/mysqli.php:174 Stack trace: #0 /Users/bearlee/www/website/libraries/joomlatools/library/database/adapter/mysqli.php(174): mysqli->ping() #1 /Users/bearlee/www/website/libraries/joomlatools/library/database/adapter/mysqli.php(157): KDatabaseAdapterMysqli->isConnected() #2 /Users/bearlee/www/website/libraries/joomlatools/library/database/adapter/abstract.php(124): KDatabaseAdapterMysqli->disconnect() #3 [internal function]: KDatabaseAdapterAbstract->__destruct() #4 {main} thrown in /Users/bearlee/www/website/libraries/joomlatools/library/database/adapter/mysqli.php on line 174

Thank you ~~ :)

Happy to help.

This is a know issue, you are on MySQL8. See: joomlatools/joomlatools-framework#554 the problem has been fixed in Joomlatools Framework 4.0 already but there is no Pages package yet that uses this. Planned for the next release.

You can fix this manually for now, or go back to MySQL 5.7
