Pulled this over from the 0.5.1-GA Thread:

NOTE: Auto-generated link to EditArea Plugin v0.5.2 above is not correct. Neither is the link to the Demo, which can be found here.

Updates to Plugin / Installer:
- EA Save Button + ’CTRL + S’ hotkey now working in Internet Explorer again (Updated EditArea MODx JavaScript plugin)
- Improved language support (added missing .JS files causing bloated error logs)
- Added Russian language support to plugin (thx MarSoft)
- Removed unnecessary checks during Install process (e.g. no longer requires config.inc.php to be writable, etc... thx MarSoft)
- Added missing "Text" syntax highlighting definition files (thx JUSI)
- Enabled the Syntax Selection list plugin by default (thx JUSI)

...now you can change your syntax highlighting definition on-the-fly! Support for Text, JavaScript, CSS, XML/HTML, and PHP within MODx! (NOTE: syntax default is driven by content-type. For chunks with CSS or JavaScript, they unfortunately will default to HTML, although it’s easy to change and the bulk of chunks is generally HTML anyway)

Just installed 0.5.2. In chunk view plain apostrophes are interrupting the appearance of colour formatting...

What Syntax are you using? (HTML?) I believe this is a known issue with the parser, but cannot recall if it’s HTML, PHP, or both?

I love it!
Nice work pixelchutes! .
Now I need to find a way to disable Firebug in the manager, it doesn’t really like all the javascript .

HTML. Haven’t tried php yet.

Awesome. I remember having a few issues a few versions ago but it all seems to be cleared up now. Very nice work pixelchutes!

I have the same problem.
Otherwise the module is very useful

I posted this earlier on the RTE board, but I thought I’d post it here, too. Apparently I’m not the only one having trouble with this (see this earlier post - http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,49483.0.html). Anyway, here it is again:

I’m new to MODx (as in today) so it’s entirely possible I’m missing something that may be totally obvious to someone else. I’m trying to install EditArea, which I understand has code-highlighting, which I find to be an essential feature. I downloaded the .zip file and followed the instructions, extracting it to the root directory of the site. This seemed a little strange, since the root directory already has a folder called ’assets’ but I did it anyway, instructing the OS to overwrite any files with the same name (of which there may not be any - I don’t know). I then went to the ’install’ folder as instructed, and followed the prompts. Everything seemed to be OK, but when I go to the configuration page and try to select a different RTE, TinyMCE is the only one that shows up. I’ve tried clearing the cache, which didn’t work - any ideas?

I realize that you most likely were expecting to see "EditArea" as an editor option in the list. If this is the case, simply select "None" and that should toggle "EditArea" On for you.

If you go to "Security > Manager Users" and edit your user’s settings ("User" tab on the "Create/Edit User" page), there is an "Editor to use" setting. Are you able to select "None" from an option list here and Save your settings?

If so, in doing so you would be setting EditArea as the default editor for your MODx Manager user. This way, EditArea should load by default every time, but still give you the option to use TinyMCE when necessary.
