Disable chunks in content?

Hello.
How you can prevent recognize constructions like chunk in the article body (content)?

You don't want the chunks to be processed when generating the page? The only way to do that would be to use a plugin to intercept the document object and remove tags from the content before it's processed.

That depends on what you mean.

• If you mean that you want to use a chunk name for sample code, you have to use the html entities for [ ([ ) and ] (] ).
• If you mean that you don't want MODx to parse the document (it's all or nothing), then you have to get the content via xPDO, without sending it through a processor.

There is a plugin for Evo that lets you display MODx tags in a specially crafted set of pre tags. I don't know it if will work in Revo or not.

Ah, here it is for Revo https://github.com/BobRay/FixedPre

Thanks.

I used the FixedPre plugin for my Evo "MODx From the Inside" articles, and it works great. Before that, I had set up some keyboard shortcuts for replacing the tag characters with HTML entities.

You can use this plugin to prevent MODX syntax from rendering if this is what you were looking for.

Good luck

How is this different from the FixedPre plugin?

No idea Susan, I did not catch the part that the link you posted was for Revo and assumed it was for Evo.

I'll have to look into fixedpre and see if it's better.

Thanks.

If I'm reading that code correctly, it will convert all tags in the content section, which may not be what you want (e.g., chunk tags for notes of various kinds).

Fixedpre will let you put fixedpre tags around just the tags you want to show rather than execute. It will also let you style the fixedpre sections with CSS. AFAIK, fixedpre will never require you to manually insert entities, which it looks like the other plugin sometimes requires.

Another plus is that fixedpre will work inside of pre tags, so you can have different styling for inline tags and blocks of code.
