    <?php
/**
 * SimpleCleaner
 *
 * Can remove or replace unwanted tags and words in the content
 * by Paul Merchant
 *
 * Fire with the OnDocFormSave event
 */

/* Modify the cleaners array to add more patterns and replacements */
$cleaners = array(
   // Removes paragraph tags when they are directly surrounding a modx tag
   '~<p>(\r?\n|\s)?\[\[(.+?)\]\](\r?\n|\s)?</p>~' => '[[$2]]'
);
$content = $resource->get('content');
foreach ($cleaners as $pattern => $replacement){
   $content = preg_replace($pattern,$replacement,$content);
}
$resource->set('content',$content);
$resource->save();
?>


    Just a starting point for replacing unwanted tags or words in the content. The current pattern allows editors to insert modx tags "[[" inside of their own (forced) TinyMCE paragraphs "<p>". The unwanted paragraph tags are then neatly cleaned up. It could probably be expanded for other purposes. This seemed to be easier than fighting or hacking TinyMCE.

    Commments and advice are always welcome.

      Great idea! Replaces [*content*] tag in template then?

        Great idea! Replaces [*content*] tag in template then?

        The current cleaner in the above plugin will go through content that looks like this:

        <p>This is my content. [[*MyTV]]</p>
        <p>[[$MyChunk]] </p>
        <p>
        [[MySnippetCall? &param=`1`]]
        </p>
        <p>More content...</p>

        And then store it in the database like this:

        <p>This is my content. [[*MyTV]]</p>
        [[$MyChunk]]
        [[MySnippetCall? &param=`1`]]
        <p>More content...</p>

        We don’t use modx tags within the content very often, but when we do it’s often a pain. TinyMCE wraps them with <p> tags and can make some of the code ugly or even mess it up. Turning off the forced <p> tags isn’t always easy or a good option.

        I couldn’t get the $_POST or scriptProperties to work with the latest Revo. That’s why it’s a database write after the content has been saved. I don’t think this will work if there are line breaks inside of your modx tag.

          Sorry, I mean’t instead of putting [*content*] into the template, do I call content by replacing it with [[SimpleCleaner]]?

            It’s a plugin, not a snippet.

              Right, so what (if any) System Events need to be ticked?
