Add configuration to disable automatic formatting feature.

Well, I've taken a closer look at what is happening. Indeed coder is not being invoked automatically.

But there is automatic formatting happening.

in the drupal.vim plugin file line 6

PHP_removeCRwhenUnix = 1

It turns out the files I thought coder was reformatting had been saved with CRs in them. When they get removed, git sees that as a change in the file. When I disable this comment the CRs are not automatically removed. (I usually just run dos2unix on files like this and commit that as a change when I notice the CRs which I always highlight).

The other reason I thought coder was part of this issue was that syntastic was not being invoked on save like it usually is on my setup. But that was happening because the filetypes are being changed from php to php.drupal via the Drupalinit() function of the same file.

The latter of these I think I can fix just by configuring synstastic to work on php.drupal filetypes. But the former I was not able to override except by commenting out said line.

Anyway, I hope that clarifies it.

Thanks,

David

OK, I figured out how to override that setting on my system.

I use pathogen and my .vimrc could not override your setting regardless of where I placed my local .vimrc override (i.e. before or after the call to pathogen#infect()). I guess that has something to do with the way pathogen works.

However using pathogen to add the override does work.

Create a dummy pathogen plugin with the following structure:

~\.vim\bundle
`--|z_overrides
     `--|plugin
          `--overrides.vim

And to the overrides.vim file add

let PHP_removeCRwhenUnix = 0

The z_overrides plugin gets called last by pathogen because pathogen#infect() loads the plugins in Asc alphabetical order (you can verify this by running the :scriptnames command).

If you run the command :echo PHP_removeCRwhenUnix, the result will now be 0 instead of 1, and Vim will not automatically replace the CR characters in Unix.

I don't think this patch is going to work the way you intend it because by default vim scopes the variable in the global scope when it is declared outside of a function.

In your patch you are referencing a variable in the buffer scope.

+if exists("b:did_drupal_ftplugin") | finish | endif
+let did_drupal_ftplugin = 1

You need to change the second line above to
let b:did_drupal_ftplugin = 1

Or change the first line to
if exists("g:did_drupal_ftplugin") | finish | endif

This is working for me.
