Textile support

[pshouse]

I'd like textile support for CMSMS. Perhaps in the same flavour as MarkDown support:
{cms_textile} {/cms_textile} {content|textile}

Where do I start developing?
Where do I start learning how to code in this support?
Or are there developers interested in doing this job?

Well, it was not that hard, I just coded myself, and works. I followed markdown implementation for guidelines.

1) Download latest textile-php http://textile.thresholdstate.com/
2) put in /lib/smarty/plugins renamed as modifier.textile.php
3) Add this code inside .php file, anywhere outside class definition (I put it on the beginning of the file)

Code: Select all

# --  Modifier Interface ------------------------------------------------
function smarty_modifier_textile($text) {
    $textile = new Textile();
    return $textile->TextileThis($text);
}

Then use as MarkDown modifier,  i.e. modify your template content tag from {content} to {content|textile}

If you liked {cms_markdown} and {/cms_markdown} blocks, it should be as easy to implement them for textile as well, writing a block.cms_textile.php file in smarty's plugin folder with this content:

Code: Select all

<?php

include_once "modifier.textile.php";

function smarty_block_cms_textile($params, $content, &$smarty)
{
  if( isset( $content ) )
  {
    $textile = new Textile();
    return $textile->TextileThis( $content );
  }
}

?>

With this approach, you leave templates as they are, and just put to-be-textile'ed text between {cms_textile} and {/cms_textile} tags when editing contents.

P.S.: Good news for lazy people:
just put the two attached files in
lib/smarty/plugins and you're done

Many thanks for providing this useful information !

Many thanks to dev team for providing such a nice CMS
I felt in love with it immediately. If a feature is not there, you just code it in.
No other CMS lets you do it as quickly. Maybe this is "the programmers-friendly cms".

I'll tell textile team to add smarty interface (if they wish) to their php (so when upgrading, you don't have to rewrite it)
And I'm telling to core dev team of cmsms to add textile support (i.e. include the two files above in distribution) as they did for markdown, if they wish.

I'd like a lot, of course

I agree with the above: Textile on CMSMS is awesome!

However, for some reason Textile is not rendering in my News module summary templates. (Detail templates render as expected.) I posted about it here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 807.0.html

Anyone have a solution?
