It's been a while since dabbling in PHP. I'm editing the output of a module in Joomla. The module is a news module and I'm trying to get it to open in a lightbox.

I've got everything functioning as far as the lightbox goes, but in order to output the way I want, I need the link to be changed from index.php to index2.php.

URL: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?opti...ls&catid=9:u11

I want it to be: http://www.mysite.com/index2.php?opt...ls&catid=9:u11

For some reason the str_replace function is replacing the WHOLE string to be the new value instead of just searching and replacing the text within the string.

Here is what I've done:

		<a rel="rokbox[600 350]" href="<?php echo str_ireplace($item->link, 'index2.php', 'index.php'); ?>" class="latestnews<?php echo $params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>">

Can anyone help me with this please?

Man... That was stupid!

I figured out that I had the ordering wrong for the function. I moved it around and it worked fine.

I think every programmer in any language can empathise with that sentiment

You appear to be suffering from the same issue I have.
After many hours of trying to debug an issue, I post here.

Only to read over my post and figure it out or to shortly figure it out afterwards.

Sometimes posting and not having any replys is the best way to fix an issue lol.

Maybe we should a have "programmers memory jogging" section where you can post, not get repies and then re-read the post.

The problem with the use of the app Settings is that the values of each setting can be achieved by using a key text and returns only the text. It 's much easier than from the developer to use objects as strings and do all kind of results yourself.
