I’ve installed this newest version of the plugin, but seem to be dealing with a weird bug.

When the plugin is activated (if functioning properly) there is a link on the plugins menu below de-activate to configre your page name (pages or content or page for example). For some reason this doesn’t always appear (have tried on several installations old and new) and it dissapears after being configured.

My problem is I can’t get the sucker re-activated (menu option doesn’t display) after migrating my blog. Can anyone provide a path, database location, or fix so that I can get my EzStatic working again?

Goal – To call external html files inside WordPress – maintaining in a manned that template is maintained. The HTML file has JavaScript code.

Problem – The problem is that the javascript functions do not get executed when external HTML files are called by EzStatic. EzStatic works well when calling plain html files which do not have javascript.

Question –
1) Is there another way to do what Im trying to do i.e. call external html files which are in the same webserver, Maintaining the template style. These HTML files have javascript.

Thank you once again. Your help is very much appreciated.

Regards
Mark

Thanks to Stephen, aka “gravity”, for help debugging the ob_ functions.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Detailed instructions at:
https://redalt.com/wiki/EzStatic

No edits to the WordPress source are required.

Just drop this into your WordPress plugins directory, and then
Activate it on the Plugins tab of the WordPress admin console.

If you are a user of high enough level and you check the new
option checkbox that appears below the post editing area, then
posts that contain PHP tags will be executed in the posts that
you write.

Also, you can include existing files into
your WordPress template:

Add a querystring to your URL that points to your static file.
Like this:

https://www.example.com/index.php?static=mystaticfile

EzStatic will try to open in order from your blog directory:
mystaticfile
mystaticfile.php
mystaticfile.htm

If the static file specified is PHP, it will execute the file
and display the results. This file may contain WordPress
template tags and functions.

For plugin developers:
You can use EzStatic in your own functions to create static-like
pages from your plugins!

Simply dump all of your output into a variable, then send it
with a new page title to the function EzStatic_force().
EzStatic will automatically insert your content in place of the
default post listing.

If you receive reports that EzStatic isn’t working, turn OFF
gzip support in your WordPress admin panel. (Options, Reading)

A link like…
www.thisisnotmysite.com/sc/index.php?static=vt&table=1
doesn’t apparently work, in the sense that the variable $table isn’t readable by the code in the vt.php file. (vt.php appears just nicely, though!)

Am I just expecting too much? Or is there a way of making the variable accessible?

Yes, you may have read this already – but the last time I posted this, the thread was then closed to new replies ….

… and also I had a serious search over his websites for a means of contacting the author directly, but couldn’t find one.

In regards to Microshop, I see I need to edit index.php and there is a mysql database section; did you guys just use the wordpress database or create a new one?

Just trying to work out how best to put these three together; so could someone please point me towards a tutorial or just drop some knowledge in here.

Thanks in advance.

EzStaticVersion: 1.7
Author: Owen Winkler

Anyone have this or know where I can get it?

The URL string that I am using is:

https://leroychatfiled.us/index.php?static=leroyheader

Can’t get EZ to work? I have installed and activated EzStatic 3.0.

The question is where do I put the URL? What page do I put it on? And where in the page and with what php tags do I need to use. Is it possible to see an example of the URL in a page?

Jim

I created my pages that I wanted to use the EZstatic plugin with, and created the index.php?static=filename.php URL for my link.

But any pages that I create to use with EZstatic, while the background, etc etc etc look appropriate, my bullets & things for lists, etc are not showing up like in the sidebars.

What special “coding” do I have to surround my information with to make it match the rest of my site?

Example: start of page file…

<h2> :: Our Charter ::</h2>

<p align="left">The Charter of the Ladies.....

Then my list is coded as normal:

<ul>
<li>Any "Lady" can be a member...

But the bullets don’t show up like they do in the sidebar with teh same coding.

Please help!

The page the above coding comes from can be found at https://ladies-of-the-heart.com/index.php?static=charter.php if I haven’t explained it right…
