A very early alpha of AceEditor for CMSMS 2.x

[Guido]

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK:

https://github.com/Luke1982/aceeditor2 is where you can download the module. Copy it to you modules folder and click install in the module manager. Right now it only has a dropdown that lets you select the mode, which you have to do manually. You can select CSS, Smarty and HTML.

One thing I'd like to do: I see the admin section knows whether it's loading a TPL, or a CSS file. How can I catch this in my module class file? I'd like to use it so auto-set the editor mode.

you can get the 'language' hint from the data-cms-lang attribute of the textarea.

Damn that's exactly what I need! Thanks.

Well, the module now has the following:

• Automatic detection of the language.
• A top toolbar that allows you to select a different language.
• A slider in the top toolbar that allows you to adjust text size while editing.
• Right side and bottom are dragable, so easy to adjust size.

You still have to install it via manual upload, there is no preference admin screen, there is no uninstall, code needs cleanup, but it works. Now I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to upload this beta version to the project. The project exists, I just don't understand how to upload the tar file.

Thanks a lot for the 1.05 version! Great improvement to the use of cmsms 2.1.1. Is there any chance there will be a theme-selector in the near future? I'm an old-fashioned guy and very much used to the Dreamweaver theme, or any theme with a white background. Thanks anyway!

That's all in the pipeline, but I don't have a time schedule yet. Please create a feature request for this in the forge as a reminder for me about this.

Thanks, will do!
