[howto] A fullscreen editor for write your article body

sacripant · 2013-03-11 13:29:16

I read that recement Destry did not write these articles in the interface “textpattern”. And he used to comfort an external software.

I totally agree with him. The only difference is that I chose to install a full screen editor directly into Textpattern

I share this code on Github . It uses Ace editor and need bot_writ-tab-customize.

The editor provides syntax highlighting for textile. I use it but it is really flawed.
For cons, the syntax for markdown is much more complete.

To get a true full screen, use ‘F11’ browser.

It is certainly possible to make a plugin, but I still have no competence in this field.

I tested this code only in Chrome and Firefox

Hopla !

That looks like a great option! If Txp never moves to a doubled-pane, then I will definitely look into this as plan B. ;)

Hello,

I updated my script with some improvments
Now it’s 1.0

Modifie Editor layout. Now Editor is in left of window. Scroll work better, in all window.
Little Js refactoring
Better sync between Textpattern textarea and Ace Editor.
Added Keyboard Shortcuts
- esc for close fullscreen Editor
- ctrl-S || cmd-S for save Article

you can dowload 1.0 Here
Github Code

In my roadmap :

Make a Textpattern Plugin
Add a white theme for the Editor
Add a help list for Ace Editor Keyboard Shortcut.
Add a AJAX article preview.

Sacripant, thanks for the upgrade …

Yes now the message is in Archive. Could you explain me why ?
And now, with the new forum, I don’t get any news from the previous posts where I was registrated …
So, more difficult to read the forum.

Yes, the ‘How-Tos and Examples’ forum doesn’t exist anymore since the forum upgrade. I’ll try and think of something that will make the how-tos that are still relevant more visible.

Edit: how is this?

Jean-Pol, did that happen even after this point in time? If so, please add your annotations in the linked topic.

That was the forum installation that was tested before the final upgrade, just another host ;) Can you please post your issue in the topic Uli linked to?

The notify@forum.xpattern.net address is correct. That’s what it should be.
