I just want to display simple text and this is not working.

I don't know is there a way to see something like log to see what happens in the background?

 public function onContentPrepare($context, &$row, &$params, $page = 0) { $row->text = str_replace("LOREM", "some thing", $row->text); echo "print some thing"; return "print some thing"; }

I try in three way to display some thing.

    To see what's happening in the background I'd recommend to use a good IDE (PHPStorm, Visual Studio etc) in combination with XDebug. That combination gives you the possibility to step through your code, and see all variables and their values. Commented Feb 2, 2022 at 18:12

    To address one of your attempts: Joomla Documentation: Plugin/Events/Content and Creating a content plugin Sometimes when I am debugging and want to output to my screen, I use Factory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage() ...maybe give that a try, I don't know if it will work, I didn't test it.

I don't know why CMSPlugin does not work for this problem. the first step is to delete namespace on the .xml file and then use JPlugin instead of CMSPlugin

class PlgContentFirstplugin extends JPlugin { public function onContentPrepare($context, &$row, &$params, $page = 0) { $row->text = str_replace("LOREM", "normal Lorem", $row->text); } }
