his is a test of the Dynamic Text Replacement plugin^[?] I am working on for Serendipity. It dynamically renders text using the GD library, and replace it with an image of that text. There are a variety of options that are shown in the main body of this posting. The letter T at the start of the article was even generated by this plugin using the fon colton obtained from Fonts 101.

I had previous dabbled with some ways of dynamically rendering text using the GD image library to create headers and titles. I had enquired in the forums if there was interest in extending this to a markup plugin, andthe response was lukewarm. I had cobbled together a plugin, and decided to clean it up an release it either to use as is, or for someone else to include the code in their software.

This is an example using the current defaults.

Note that the image ALT text included the original text, for accessability reasons. More examples follow...

If a maxwidth is specified, the text will automatically get wrapped into multiple lines, with the allignment specified. In this case I used align=right.

Use it like a quote box off to one side by wrapping it in a div!

...or on the other size. Here the font and colours have been changed...

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Thanks for doing the plugin for S9y.
I will be testing it over the next few days when I get the time.

Just a silly request really, how does one add it to all of ones titles? or header title?

Tia.

You can't use the plugin in for that, as it is only parsed in the comment entries.

You can use the same dtp php script and manually edit the entries.tpl and index.tpl

Check http://www.silent9.com/blog/archives/117-More-On-Dynamic-Text.html and http://www.silent9.com/blog/archives/42-Dynamically-Generated-Text-Images.html for details.

thanks very much for the links... yep, I should have checked your website in more depth.. I think, one calls that... being a tad inactive.. also known as lazy...

Hi!, I was truly amazed by this dev, but i haven't been able to use it because i don't use s9y.. i use Xoops (www.xoops.org) and i haven't been able to figure out how to use your code in that CMS, could you please point out the important thing on how to use the code outside s9y please?
