Problems running plugin

Hi There,

I’m having an global set of functions / classes / settings, which i want to run, before a snippet is called.
I’ve made a plug-in which loads all these funcs/classes and settings and tried several system-events however none is actually working for me. Even a simple "die" doesn’t display.

Isn’t this possible the way i’m trying.? ( it should render if the webpage loads, not the manager ).

Ofcourse i could also add a line to every snippet in which i need these classes / funcs etc but i thought it would be cleaner to do it by a plugin.

If you can.. please enlighten me

Hmm, I’ve just done a little test plugin that does this :-
```
define ('THIS_IS_ONE',1);
$testtext = 'This is a test string';
return;
```
attached to system event OnParseDocument

I’ve written a little snippet that prints these out in the content of a document, I get this :-

This is one is :- 1
Test text is :-

even if I use global $testtext in the snippet, so the constant stays in scope, the variable doesn’t.

I think you’d be better including your common stuff at the top of your snippet calls with require_once, I think these effects are seen as a combination of how the core does things and the eval() function.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
