Not long ago, I changed my Joomla template to one from RocketTheme.com that has their RokZoom feature. RokZoom is a customized version of the popular slimbox javascript tool. It works great and I plan on using to update my site content where I describe what Open Source projects I work on and show samples of past work. However, one place it didn’t work was in my MojoBlog. Now I have it figured out though.

To get it to work in MojoBlog, you have to edit one file so that MojoBlog calls to Joomla’s mambots. The file to edit is -

/components/com_mojo/wp-includes/template-functions-post.php

Go to ‘function the_content’ (Not get_the_content)

Just below the line that begins with ‘$content = str_replace’ add the following lines -

global $_MAMBOTS;
$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
$tmp_row = new stdClass();
$tmp_params = new mosParameters('');
$tmp_row->text = $text_to_process;
$_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$tmp_row, &$tmp_params ), true );
$text_to_process = $tmp_row->text;

That will allow you to now use any content type of Mambot in your MojoBlog. Cool!

Here’s an example of RokZoom -
