Zeal Stringer

Stringer is useful for manipulating text/strings in different ways and allows you to access and modify strings using PHP while not enabling PHP in templates.

1) Striptags – Remove all HTML tag from your content

There are several parameters you can use to control how the content is truncated.

These options are:

chars_start = “”   // Start char to limit number of character
chars           = “”   // Limit by number of characters
words         = “”   // Limit by number of words
cutoff         = “”   // Limit by a specific cutoff string
append       = “”    // String to append to the end of the excerpt
allow_tags   = “”    // HTML tags you want to allow

{exp:stringer:striptags allow_tags=“<p>|<em>|<strong>”}     {your_content} {/exp:stringer:striptags} {exp:stringer:striptags allow_tags=“<a>|<blockquote>|<p>” append=“…” words=“50”}     {your_content} {/exp:stringer:striptags} {exp:stringer:striptags allow_tags=“<a>” cutoff=“<!– More –>”  append=“…”}     {your_content} {/exp:stringer:striptags} {exp:stringer:striptags allow_tags=“<p>” chars_start=“10” chars=“50” append=“…”}     {your_content} {/exp:stringer:striptags}

2) Tags – Allow All HTML tags but Remove particular HTML tags from your content.

There is one parameter for removing particular tags.
remove_tags   = “”  // HTML tag you want to remove

{exp:stringer:tags remove_tags=“<a>|<blockquote>|<p>”}     {your_content} {/exp:stringer:tags}

3) Stringer provides the following useful text manipulations as well

{exp:stringer:uppercase}this string is uppercase.{/exp:stringer:uppercase} {exp:stringer:lowercase}THIS STRING IS LOWERCASE{/exp:stringer:lowercase} {exp:stringer:uppercasefirst}this string first character upppercase{/exp:stringer:uppercasefirst} {exp:stringer:charlength}number of characters in a string.{/exp:stringer:charlength} {exp:stringer:wordlength}string total words length{/exp:stringer:wordlength} {exp:stringer:find_replace find=“text|and” replace=“string|or”}Multiple text find and replace{/exp:stringer:find_replace} {exp:stringer:find_replace find=“|” replace=“/”}slash|replace|{/exp:stringer:find_replace} {exp:stringer:numberformat decimals=“2” dec_point=“.” thousands_sep=“,”}1234567890{/exp:stringer:numberformat} {exp:stringer:trim side=“left”} string trimming! {/exp:stringer:trim} – side[left,right,both] {exp:stringer:slug separator=“-“ case=“lower”}Generate Slug{/exp:stringer:slug} – case [=lower, upper, nochange] {exp:stringer:wordwrap width=“5” break=“<br>” cut=“true”}This is wordwarp string{/exp:stringer:wordwrap} {exp:stringer:hash algo=“encode”}This is an encoded string‘{/exp:stringer:hash} – base64 encode {exp:stringer:hash algo=“decode”}VGhpcyBpcyBhbiBlbmNvZGVkIHN0cmluZyc={/exp:stringer:hash} – base64 decode {exp:stringer:hash algo=“md5”}password{/exp:stringer:hash}

– algo [=”decode”,”encode”,”md2″, “md4”, “md5”, “sha1”, “sha224”, “sha256”, “sha384”,

 “sha512”, “ripemd128”, “ripemd160”, “ripemd256”, “ripemd320”, “whirlpool”, 

“tiger128,3”, “tiger160,3”, “tiger192,3”, “tiger128,4”, “tiger160,4”, “tiger192,4”,

 “snefru”, “snefru256”, “gost”, “gost-crypto”, “adler32”, “crc32”, “crc32b”, 

“fnv132”, “fnv1a32”, “fnv164”, “fnv1a64”, “joaat”, “haval128,3”, “haval160,3”, 

“haval192,3”, “haval224,3”, “haval256,3”, “haval128,4”, “haval160,4”, “haval192,4”, “

haval224,4″, “haval256,4”, “haval128,5”, “haval160,5”, “haval192,5”, “haval224,5”, “haval256,5”]

Explode splits a given string by a given separator

{exp:stringer:explode separator=“,” string=“93 Old Pacific Dr, Pembroke Pines, FL,33028”}     Street: {string1} City: {string2} State: {string3} Zip : {string4} {/exp:stringer:explode} Example Output: Street: 93 Old Pacific Dr City: Pembroke Pines State: FL Zip : 33028
