Custom Plugin

We had created a custom Flexicontent Plugin.

The plugin is working but I want to be able to call my methods from trunk/public_html/components/com_flecicontent/templates/category.php

I would like to call it as $this->mymethodname_here

where my "mymethodname_here" would depend from a variable.

Sample of my plugin Class code:
Plugin file name: Mykecode.php:
<?php defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
jimport('joomla.event.plugin');
class plgFlexicontentMikecode extends JPlugin {
function plgFlexicontentMikecode(&$subject, $params) {
parent::__construct($subject, $params);
}
function renderCatItems()
{...}
}
?>
Flexicontent/template file name: category.php:
$cat_sections = $this->params->get(...);
foreach ($cat_sections as $cat_section){
$section= 'renderCat'.ucfirst($cat_section);
##### AT THIS MOMENT IT IS WORKING LIKE THIS ####
plgFlexicontentMikecode::$section();
###### HERE IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE ####
$this->$section; OR
$this->'renderCat'.ucfirst($cat_section);
}

i think you are in wrong category not ? (flexicaccess and not ion develloper ?)

Where should I post the message if custom plugin is not the place?

Hello

if you want to call functions from inside any file via URL then you can do it as any PHP script,
... ...

but
-- you can call (via AJAX call or HTTP url) functions inside a flexicontent plugin file, our frontend controller supports this !!

Calling FLEXIcontent field functions as controller TASKs

Hi Emmanuel;

I do not want to call the function via URL.

I am executing /components/com_flexicontent/templates/category.php
I have a plugin installed in /plugins/flexicontent/myplugin.php

Within category.php:
##### AT THIS MOMENT IT IS WORKING LIKE THIS ####
$section = 'renderCat'.ucfirst($cat_section); NOTE:$cat_section is received with a string value like 'items', or 'subcats'

plgFlexicontentMyplugin::$section();


I want to avoid the need of calling my methods separated from the method available to my $this at the moment of components/com_flexicontent/templates/category.php instance.

###### HERE IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE ####
$this->$section; which it is the equivalent of $this->'renderCat'.ucfirst($cat_section);
}
