Disable wysiwyg editor when editing embeded php entrie/page

[jsge]

Hi,
I am using pivotx for a good week now, this is to replace a joomla/mysql solution.
I need to run some internal reoprts that are dispalyed by openflashchart2. Teh script used to generate the report are in php and need some user input as well.
I also use entries and pages in the website.

Problem is if the editor is set to wysiwyg and you save the entry with embeded php, this is all messing up around.

Is there an easy way or kind of mod that could disable the editor in case the entry or page as php tag in it?

The easiest way to put non html in the editor is to create a separate file containing it and using [[ include ]] to include it. http://book.pivotx.net/index.php?page=app-b#anchor-include

Yes, I could do that but it means using an external editor, save the file and upload it to the server for every change.
Editing the php code directly using the pivotx editor field is more comfortable.

No, it wouldn't. If you put the file in the templates folder, you can open it and edit directly from PivotX (using the Media browser). And that editor isn't Wysiwyg

I think your idea about checking if the content contains "[[php]]" and turning off Wysiwyg is doable. There is a hook named "entry_edit_beforeedit" which has the entry (array) as input. In that hook you probably could change the text_processing setting for the Smarty $user array. Yes, it's a little bit complicated and not documented. I don't have time to do it myself now.

Thanks for the tips, I will have a look.

Just two more hints:

1) If I'm not wrong, you can access to the already assigned Smarty variables (in PHP) through

Code: Select all

$PIVOTX['template']->_tpl_vars

2) There is an example hook in the hello_world extension. There are of course hooks in many more extensions.

If you make something that works, please post the code here (or send it to me at hansfn@pivotx.net).

hmmm , ok. I had a look but I will need sometime to get familiar with all this.
Looks powerful thought ...
