zentools loading images by plugin code

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,
I've created a carousel that loads content articles that contains a plugin code.
This is an hikashop feature to allow load products data to the joomla article editor.
{product}7|link|name|picture{/product}
Is there a way to make zentool execute the plugin code before parsing the article text ?
( sometimes in modules there is an option to "parse plugin code" )
This is because doing like this I think zentools will be capable to show this kind of articles in different ways, for example loading the full article or just the image, as it does for any of the joomla articles.

Thank you for any suggestion

Hi there,
Not sure what you mean by before the article text but have you seen the render plugin option available in the module settings. Does that do what you need?

I was searching for this option but I can't find,
where is ? Is it available for any feature of zentools ?
Is it "CSS and Javascript" under "Advanced settings" ?

Then I've found the render plugin option in the text tab.
It was hided because I just need to see the image rendered by the plugin, not the text ... Do you think is there a way ?

A way round that might be setting the text value to zero

I've already tried this way but doesn't works, that because the image code is inside the text, then if I put zero to the text length there is nothing to parse !

I don't understand what do you mean,
I've this plugin code:
{product}7|link|name|picture{/product}

I can't unwrap the image by the text

So you want to render the hikashop text but nothing else?

The only way to do that would be to make sure that either the hikashop code was the only thing in the introtext or you set the intro count for the exact amount of characters in the plugin code (which I assume would change).

Great ... it works using few chars,
I don't know how it will manage when the site will be full of products than the product id will be more then just 1 digit and the plugin text length will increase :dry: :silly:

Thank you !!
