Filters in Mephisto
April 9th, 2007

I just spent a bunch of time fiddling with what should have been a simple change to a filter plugin for Mephisto. It’s the Lightbox Filter. If I can save anyone else from this annoyance, this blog entry will be worth it!
Basically, all I wanted to do was to change the filter so that it generated the markup <div class="gallery"> instead of <div id="gallery">. Should be darned simple. So I went into the filter and changed one litter word. Great! I then spent far too long trying to figure out why that didn’t work. I could do nothing to coerce Mephisto to NOT generate the code the old way!!
