Add editor: CodePress
| Project: | Wysiwyg |
| Version: | 6.x-1.x-dev |

| Status: | postponed |
I hacked together a working piece of code for the CodePress editor using a stub found here. It's major features are HMTL, PHP, CSS, and JS syntax highlighting, autocomplete, line numbering, and code snippets.
I would like to integrate this with Wysiwyg and since this is new code I was wondering what the best approach would be. Should I create a new project or would you be open to having it reside within this project?
I've attached my working code for people to take a look. Basically install, enable, discover a text area (eg. go to node/add/page), then set the syntax at admin/settings/codepress. Code snippets are triggered by typing something like 'img' and hitting tab.
Hopefully this can find a good home as I think it is a great editor for savvy users.

Whoops, forgot to paste in URL for stub: http://drupal.org/cvs?file=/sandbox/jjeff/codepress/codepress.module

Wysiwyg Editor module still needs some abstraction to support multiple editors. However, when that is implemented, supporting CodePress would be interesting.
Additionally, I want you to point to the first paragraph in http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/sandbox/jjeff/codep... -- the code of CodePress itself is LGPL and thus, incompatible with d.o's CVS policies. It cannot be committed to drupal.org. (however, the editor integration code can)

Thanks for the quick response sun, I will be on the lookout for updates to Wysiwyg Editor. I noticed the LGPL license as well and will consider it carefully.

Took some time tonight and put together integration for CodePress — everything seems to be working great. Both integration files wrapped up in a zip: /editors/codepress.inc and /editors/js/codepress_editor.js
Hoping it all works well!

I'd like to test it, but http://codepress.org/ seems to be down (at least for me)...
#7
Ya I noticed that too, maybe not a good sign for the Codepress project...
The code is still hosted at SourceForge (I linked to this in the module for the download): http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=186981

Was also looking at some other syntax highlighted editors that seem more active:

#10
Oh well. This editor is pretty lame. Anyway, rewrote it from scratch.
However, one needs to comment out the following two lines at the bottom of codepress.js:
if(window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent('onload',CodePress.run);else window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',CodePress.run,false);
#11
And yes, there are also other options (to be dealt with in separate issues)...

To get this feature in, someone needs to convince the authors/maintainers of CodePress to remove the offending lines I mentioned in #10. This means, someone has to step up and create an issue in their tracker or communicate with them in other ways.
Marking as postponed until that happened.
