soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

soo_plugin_display

Similar to some other plugins that show plugin info, but more comprehensive, allowing you to format plugin fields as you wish with a form or container, and offering display of help text & source code, even specific chunks of source code.

Compatible with soo_plugin_pref for preference management.

Information, help text, source code preview, and download

direct download

  • Bug fix: soo_plugin_code now handles multi-line comments correctly.

Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, note that soo_plugin_code has some other format changes (e.g., highlighted output is now wrapped in a pre element), so some CSS changes might be needed.

  • soo_plugin_help now has h_plus attribute, for transposing HTML header levels

Version 0.1.3 released 2009/09/28

Re: soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

Your updates are so frequent that it would be useful a soo_plugininstaller… ;)

Re: soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

Just on one of those kicks lately. I did follow the thread you started here and agree it would be great to have a standard way to check for and install plugin updates. I haven’t had time to look through Amit’s plugins, or to determine whether RSS is a good solution. It has to be easy on both ends — for the plugin developers as well as the end users.

Re: soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

Version 0.1.3 released.

soo_plugin_code now does intelligent tab to space conversion to maintain tab stops (as opposed to highlight_string()’s stupid tab to space conversion).

Re: soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

Version 0.1.4 released.

soo_plugin_help now has h_plus attribute, for transposing HTML header levels. This can be helpful when breaking a long help text into several web pages, in conjuction with section_id. For example, h_plus="-2" will transpose all h6 elements to h4, all h5 elements to h3, etc.

Re: soo_plugin_display: show information about installed plugins

Version 0.2.0 released.

  • New highlight attribute for soo_plugin_code, allows you to disable the standard syntax highlighting and output raw (but HTML-escaped) code.
  • Bug fix: soo_plugin_code now handles multi-line comments correctly.

Disabling code highlighting allows you to use javascript-based highlighting, such as the excellent SyntaxHighlighter, instead.

Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, note that soo_plugin_code has some other format changes (e.g., highlighted output is now wrapped in a pre element), so some CSS changes might be needed.
