How to "call" a mambot in self-deployed module

Bernard · 09.01.2005, 06:37

Hi !

i am currently developing a module which displays content items at flexible locations. I need to call content mambots like {mosimage} or {akocomment}.

Goal ist to show a thumbnail , introtext, readon_link and akocomment as a preview. By clicking on the image or link you get to the content item. In fact it is nearly similar to the frontpage component. But you can use a module more flexible (different locations etc.)

But to save coding time and use mambo features I need to call the mambots.

(How) is that possible ?

Thanks in advance ...

so far what i have found and i think i'm in the right tracks is this:

Code:

global $_MAMBOTS;

		// process the new bots
		$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
		$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );

i found it in the content.html.php file, in the section were it calls the mambots. so, what should i provide as the function parameters in trigger()

any help will be appreciate.
