spf_codemirror - syntax-highlighting and code-completion admin plugin

CodeMirror syntax-highlighting and Emmet code-completion plugin for Textpattern admin.

Edit pages, forms, css, javascript (and more) full-screen, in your browser, with a choice of syntax-highlighting and code-completion.

Customisable via preferences: choose a theme, font-size and full-screen hot-keys.

Thanks to Marijn (CodeMirror), Sergey (Zen Coding) and Dale (mrd_codeMirror).

Instructions and screenshot.

Note: when upgrading please delete your old ‘codemirror’ directory and upload a new one (and obviously replace the plugin).

New version 1.0 requires CodeMirror 5.0.

For new features and instructions please see the README on GitHub

Emmet is pretty smart.

NetTuts screencast

Thanks for all your work on this Simon. It’s a great hike up in functionality for the TXP back end.

Re: spf_codemirror - syntax-highlighting and code-completion admin plugin

Hi, I’ve put “codemirror” folder in my Xampp project directory ( X:\Xampp\htdocs\txp\ ) but there’s no syntax-highlighting and changing themes in presentation forms/pages/styles/js don’t work. I’ve tried to put “codemirror” in txp\textpattern, but nothing changed. What is wrong? Probably I misunderstood install instructions :/
I am using Win7, TXP 4.4.1, Xampp 1.7.7. Plugin spf_codemirror is enabled.

Hello

The ‘codemirror’ directory goes in the your root web directory (not inside the textpattern directory) and files should be accessible via e.g. :

[DocumentRoot]/codemirror/cm_combined_min.css

So, if your root URL is http://example.com, you should see the above css file in your browser at http://example.com/codemirror/cm_combined_min.css

.. and, if your root URL is ‘localhost’, you should see it at http://localhost/codemirror/cm_combined_min.css

If not:

- try the latest version (I just made a small tweak which might help you);

- check permissions on the ‘codemirror’ directory;

- check your Xampp DocumentRoot setting.

Simon

Hi Dale

It doesn’t work at present with CodeMirror .. it might if I separated them .. but I don’t have time to fiddle this week.

See Zen Coding downloads — and compare ‘Zen Coding for CodeMirror2’ with ‘Zen Coding for textarea’.

Re: spf_codemirror - syntax-highlighting and code-completion admin plugin

@ Dale

Zen Coding for CSS now works – but only within style tags (Pages & Forms) – for raw CSS (Style) just temporarily wrap your style sheet in a style tag.

e.g. in Presentation > Styles type:

style + TAB and then, within the style tags, type @f + TAB.

Re: spf_codemirror - syntax-highlighting and code-completion admin plugin

cool! So now I’m adding a /*<style>*/ at the top of my css and a /*</style>*/ at the bottom and I can use abbrs at will. very nice.
