EzStatic Plugin

  • I know there are a bunch of static-making plugins out there, but I thought I would toss this out as an easy (if inefficient) way to implement static pages.
    Get a copy of EzStatic.php and put it in your plugins directory. Activate it.
    Put a file in your web root (same directory as index.php). It can be html or php. Take the base name of the file (for “test.php” use “test”) and incorporate it into a URL like so:
    https://www.example.com/index.php?static=test
    The plugin will find your file, execute it, and embed it into your WP template. If your file was a php file, you can even use WP functions inside it.
    No messy file editing or deleting, just activate the plugin. Another proof of concept plugin from yours truly. Enjoy!

    Hello!
    I just managed to setup WordPress and installed succesfully the kubrick theme for my test blog on my MacOS X.
    Also I installed and actived ESStatic plugin.
    Basically what I would need is to have 2 or 3 static pages with the kubrick desing without sidebar, etc. (just the header and the body to include my own html) to get about page, etc. Unfortunately I do not have much idea of css. I tried to get rid of unnecessary code within a copy of index.php, but whatever I try i messed up the design.
    I there a god soul out there that would provide me a “cleared” index.php for the kubrik design I could use as template for my static pages? Thank you very much!

    @philpeeps: You need to enable the plugin in the WordPress administration panel. Go to the Plugins tab and activate EzStatic.

    Added internal support for Kubrick 1.3 theme in WordPress 1.3.
    Removed ability to display files starting with dot.
    New download: https://www.asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks

    It is enabled, now I get a fatal error….

    *sigh* What do I have to do to you people? Tatoo it to your forehead?! When you say something “I get errors” with out telling us WHAT ERRORS you get, it doesn’t tell us crap. All we are going to do is then ask “What errors do you get?” — and that just wastes everyone’s time. It’s like telling the doctor “I hurt.” You don’t do that. You tell him “My arm hurts.” And then you might even proceed to tell him what you were doing up to the point it started hurting. “Doc, my arm hurts. Me and a buddy were skydiving and my chute didn’t open up. I tried to piggy back on my buddy’s but we hit the ground pretty hard. And now my arm is all swollen and blue & purple.”
    Now, please do the same here. What did you do just before it broke? I can only imagine that you got the plugin turned on, but it’s only a guess since you never really say. Secondly, what errors do you get? That will be able to supply the necessary clues needed to produce a reasonable and meaningful answer.

    well, my links are above, i figured you could click on them, but I have included them again..the error is:
    Using buffer callback: URL-Rewriter
    Using buffer callback: EzStatic_ob_cb
    Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/philpeep/public_html/wp/wp-blog-header.php on line 469

    As you can see, the php file works just fine, but when accessing through ezstatic, it doesn’t work…

    Whatever the problem is, it’s caused by your mail1.php page. Check out this URL:
    https://www.philpeeps.com/wp/index.php?static=readme
    That loads the WordPress readme.html file. It makes your page look funny because it includes the stylesheet from the readme.
    Why don’t you try coding your form as a static HTML file, and submit the form to a PHP file that redirects?

    Thanks for taking a further look at it, but what you said to me regarding the form is greek to me ??
    Basically I just trimmed down the mailer.php of the subscription plugin and wanted to insert it into my WP without hosting 2 files with my index code. It is working properly with a copy of my index and replacing the “content” section, but EzStatic seemed like a much more robust way of adding it to my WP.
    Also, I cannot even get an html page to show up correctly.
    https://www.philpeeps.com/wp/index.php?static=test
    It shows everything in one column, not 2 and shows the following at the top of the page:
    Using buffer callback: URL-Rewriter
    Using buffer callback: EzStatic_ob_cb

    well, it looks like i got it working after reading and re-reading this thread several times. Thanks for the pointers. I will point out that there cannot even be comments between the content and menu div tags…..
    If anyone can figure out how to get the subscription plugin to work properly with EzStatic I would be very grateful…

    I got it to work, but the admin page is normally accessed by pointing the browser to mailer.php?pw=password, but that will not work with EzStatic, so I cannot access the newsletter function in the admin panel of the subscriber plugin…..

    I have tried to get EZStatic to work with several versions of very simple html files and still no luck. It always brings me right back to my Home (index.php) page. My site is https://www.darrenfauth.com, you can see where I tried different variations. The one up now is simply tweak.htm and it is barebones html.
    When I view the source code after clicking the link and arriving back at my Home page it has:
    <!– EzStatic Content Insertion Failed –>
    at the very top of the source page.
    The EZStatic plug-in is in my “plugin” folder. The static file is in my root directory. The plugin has been activated within my Admin control panel.
    Any thoughts on the problem?
    Thanks!

    Opps, the error comments commented out ??
    The error at the top of the source page reads:
    — EzStatic Content Insertion Failed —

    I don’t get the error message, but I have already posted that I get a similar thing happening. https://www.blognessie.com/index.php?static=bio works and https://www.blognessie.com/archives.php works , but https://www.blognessie.com/index.php?static=archives doesn’t.
