Hi,

Thanks for this great addon !

I have an issue with the color syntax, when i use the bash class (or any class i’ve checked with vb too), my text is grey, there is no colored keyword



Am i missing something ?

Hi Frost,

I think that they are some missing styles from the GeSHI package.
You should try to get bash and vb functions from the original geSHI website.

I’ll reintegrate them in further release if it’s the issue.

hi,
thanks,
it was my first impression, i ’ve downloaded the language folder from the geshi repo... but i don’t kwno where to put them !

Frost

Ps : j’ai vu que tu parles Français si tu as besoin de faire des tests avec un utilisateur je suis présent !

Yeeeaaaah !!

It works now !!!

Excellent, I have updated Geshi Syn code source by downloading from Geshi Website, I unzip the Geshi folder (which contains the language files in core/components/geshi/lib/geshi) in the geshi subfolder

And voilà !!!

Now it’s time to tweak the CSS

Nice. Have you tried having the plugin highlight PHP code in the Manager? I think it would be a nice alternative to CodeMirror.

Hi,

No i only try Geshi with my content, not in the manager, i think it could be possible with some tweaking, but i don’t have the knowledge to do it... sorry

GeSHI cannot highlight content in real time like CodeMirror since it’s based on PHP only.
Its only purpose is to highlight "static" code without javascript.

But CodeMirror is also not a code highlighter, it’s a code editing tool like Mozilla Bespin.

I looked in the forum about Geshi info, and i found something very interessant (in my opinion), after generating formated and colored code everything is tored inside the cache. http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,3651.msg29676.html#msg29676

I don’t know if it the same way for the revo package ?

As a matter of fact it is since this release.
Cached document are not retreived from the database, that is the reason why i don’t use plugin anymore. Content was parsed each page refresh if the resource was cached.
The snippet call is only executed once and then the page is pulled from the cache which means that geShi run only when the page is cleared from cache (create and update).
