    Hi all,

    I saw yesterday this new add-on for Revo : codemirror ! I downoaded and installed it via Package management (with a success message at the end) but I can’t figure how it works ?
    The doc mentionned (http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/ADDON/codemirror) seems not to be ready at this time... And I can’t find any clue on what to do with it...

    At this time, codemirror is installed, and I don’t see anything new in my manager... I’d like to use it when creating/editing templates, chunks and snippets but if possible not at all in documents content...

    Thanks for your help...
    cheers

      After clearing cache 3 or 4 times it seems codemirror works fine. I have the colored syntax in chunks, snippets, plugins and now templates (after checking the checkboxes OnTempFormPrerender, and onTempFormRender in system Events)
      Thanks, it’s really a great add-on !
      Cheers

        No problem - did you try installing it on Revo RC-2? It states it’s RC-3 (latest SVN) and onward only.

          Hello

          No I tried on the last SVN RC3 (#7039) ... It was just a problem of cache (both browser and manager , probably browser -- FF3.6.3 in this case)...

          Thanks for this add-on

            Hello again

            After upgrading FF3.6.3 to 3.6.4 codemirror does not work anymore sad

            When editing a chunk or a snippet or a template, it flashes quickly (i can see the code of my Element during this quick flash) and then I got a blank area with just "1" (number for the first row) like in the screenshot attached...
            It works fine with Chrome...

              Are you on PC or Mac? Can you clear the browser cache and site cache?

                Nevermind; just update Revolution to latest SVN.

                    doesn’t work for me - using the latest svn download as well as the latest download of the plugin - no error - text field just doesn’t get converted - no line numbers and no color highlighting.

                      Hi,

                      In "System->System settings", search "editor", you’ll find a setting called "which_element_editor" you should set it to "codemirror"... and then it should work well.

                      Hope this helps
                      Cheers
