Is there a way to use Ace for Template Variables? (Ultimately Text Areas, not Rich Text)

That is THE reason I'm here on this thread. Would like to highlight a code samples I use in TV's. So I'd appreciate any input on how to do this.

Hello,

Is anyone planning to update the MODX port of Ace to the latest version so that it can handle PHP 7 syntax?

Anyone?

Is it supposed to have a menu bar, is it supposed to do copy and replace, is it supposed to do word wrapping?

If so where are all these features hidden or how do you activate them?

How do you turn it on, make it work?

I mean how do you actually make it work as a code editor?

All it seems to do is make the code multicoloured. There's no editing functionality, menu or toolbar or anything. At least not in my installation.

Now it's not working at all. seems to have a mind of it's own

Spotted this in the installation instructions, it worked for me

just set system option use_editor to false (global usage)

Since updating to ACE 1.6.5, in Revo 2.5.5, the ACE editor has stopped working within chunks, snippets, templates, etc. It still works perfectly in the static files like .css and .js files.

Anyone else?

I was able to fix this and would like to suggest a fix for the next update. Error handling could be useful here as well, so that ace.assets_url is only used when not empty, otherwise it should fall back to assets_url.

In assets/components/ace/modx.texteditor.js I changed:

In line 238:

//var acePath = MODx.config['assets_url'] + 'components/ace/ace'; // old one
var acePath = MODx.config['ace.assets_url'] + 'ace'; // new one

In line 305:

// net.loadScript(MODx.config['assets_url'] + 'emmet/emmet.js', function() { // old one
net.loadScript(MODx.config['ace.assets_url'] + 'emmet/emmet.js', function() { // new one

In line 859:

// url: MODx.config['assets_url'] + 'completions.php', // old one
url: MODx.config['ace.assets_url'] + 'completions.php', // new one

I have an issue with ACE when using the "assets_url" setting in a context.

It seems that ACE is using that setting to load it's files. Setting the namespace assets url has no effect.
How can I tell Ace to use the correct path for the files? "Correct" means the default one in this scenario.

https://www.managerdomain.tld/ctx/assets/setting/components/ace/ace/mode-css.js
https://www.managerdomain.tld/ctx/assets/setting/components/ace/ace/mode-javascript.js

etc.

edit: Even if I set the system setting ace.assets_url to the correct path, there are still 4 files loaded via ace.min.js with the wrong assets_url retreived from the ctx setting:

.../components/ace/ace/theme-chrome.js
.../components/ace/ace/mode-css.js
.../components/ace/emmet/emmet.js
.../components/ace/ace/mode-javascript.js

How did you do that, change settings if you are unable to use manager, if I'm correctly understand you.

P.S. and please check your log file

Hi,

I installed ACE 1.6.5-pl on modx-2.5.1-pl. But after install, then I was unable to create new document (by clicking icon document or plus sign in left panel). The screen is white. If inspected using Developer Tool on browser it says HTTP error 500. I already change System Setting for editor 'which_editor' to 'Ace' and 'use_editor' to 'No' and other combination value, but still no luck. Am I missing something? Please help.

Thank you.
