[Plugin] CodePress Snippet Syntax Highlighter

for some reason in 0.9.5 beta 5 (1745) when this plugin is enabled, any changes I make to modules are not saved. The syntax highlighting is very nice!

also, I changed line 25 from



to


to make the relative path work in the manager.

I also had to remove the <?php and ?> tags. I still can’t figure out the problem with saving. I will have to try to set some debugging output.

thanks for bringing this to MODx

I’ve installed this on 0.9.2.1; fixed the path problem (../blah instead of /blah, since it’s in a subdirectory). The line numbers are great, but the only color I get is everything between quote marks is blue. Even in a snippet with no comments at all. Any ideas?

[edit] Figured it out... needs the <?php tags. So, since this is 0.9.2.1 I just put the tags in comments:

The French community is more advanced on the subject . Gildas has improve the plugin but it’s still a little buggy. There is investigation and he will post his work there.
If you understand French go here

I think it’s best to point directly at Gildas’s code thought he wanted to check some things out first before posting it there ) No language skills is needed for code (that is, except for php)

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.

Just reporting back.. I did leave a message on fermads site and he replied:

TobyL,

I think I know what you mean.
Reserved words inside comments AND with single quote not closed with another single quote are being colored wrong. At least this is what I could reproduce from what you said.

I’ll look into that in next CodePress version.
Thanks

CodePress is the Best! It’s the best man!

Wow!

I can’t believe I missed this entire thread!

Well, it appears that some duplicate efforts have been going on

Anyway, I started this thread which illustrates an alternate approach at implementing EditArea into the core, so no Plugin.

3 easy steps, and you’re done! ...No conflict with Saving, enabling Rich Text Editors, etc. All tested out very well.

I may look at implementing a plugin for distribution-ease, but it sounded like garryn wasn’t too successful.

Check out the thread, I’m enjoying EditArea very much!

Great job ! Now I have to test it before making any new change to my custom version of the CodePress plugin...

Since the first release of this experimental plugin, CodePress has heavily improved and many bugs fixed. So you should go to http://codepress.fermads.net/ and download the latest version before testing it

There’s a new version of the CodePress plugin attached. Should now work much better than the first one I’d be glad if some people will report their experiences so I can post it to the resources page, if it’s considered stable.
