[Plugin] CodePress Snippet Syntax Highlighter

Whoa....ha!

MODx is starting to freak me This is so cool man! Picked up a few typo’s in my snippet straight away...

I did notice though that teh highlighting fails if there’s a lot of comments at the top of the snippet. I looked at several snippets and each time if it has lot’s of comments the code doesn’t highlight anymore. Come to think of it this may have to do with (single) quote’s in comments. The highlighter colors text in quotes, even in comments I noticed. Offcourse a single - single quote isn’t unusual in comments. Hmm,.. I’ll take that up with the developer I think.

Did anyone of you have a path problem with the plugin ?

I get this error (with 0.9.5 rev 1732) :



I have checked typing http://www.mydomain.tld/assets/plugins/codepress/codepress.html the file is there alright.
I am guessing it’s a path problem.



It seems it’s a relative path, might be what’s causing this...

Edit : It’s indeed a path problem.
I have harcoded the full url instead of relative path and it’s working as expected...

This is a great addon

Thanks.,

Very nice ! Thx a lot

Man I’ve been looking for something like this for years! Were on earth did you find it?

It’s WONDERFUL!!

Bye bye Textarea!

The Codepress syntax highlighter is really nice!

This is another one I’m keeping my eye on: http://www.cdolivet.net/editarea/ EditArea is a bit buggy at the moment but has oodles of potential.

The demo of EditArea is Huge. If we can integrate this with MODx it will be very handy to manage code. CodePress doesn’t manage the mouse selection but EditAera does, and I like the search/replace feature.
Any volunteer to test the integration in a MODx plugin.

EditArea is really buggy in MODx (I did an experimental plugin to test it out) - I had to make some changes to the JS script to make it work. I’ll send some feedback to the developer and see if I can get some progress on the issues.

From my experience, EditArea doesn’t work at all in Firefox running under Linux... CodePress is really fast and seems to be actively developed.

Great stuff !
