Hello, just had a quick idea while browsing "stackoverflow" and "angeldesk"...

How would you submit and show code snippets in a Cobalt content type? Mainly HTML/PHP/JS/CSS. Is there any mini-editor or geshi thing which allows to create something like that in a Cobalt field? Output should have line# and copy-to-clipboard, raw-display in new window.

Or use a special J! code editor and an HTML field and "geshi"?! But that would lack the copy and new window option.

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

I just found...

J! GeSHi plugin... and an interesting add-on called Buttons for GeSHi.
A commercial plugin with special plugin Syntax for each language. JE Code Display - Demo

The latter is almost what I want, but WITH the need to enter content plugin Syntax. The language type should be made by simple selection on Cobalt submission...

Is this the same as template editing in the other topic?

I see. You can use textarea and insert gist embeds :) But I understand what you mean. Thew only thing that code example in separate field is not very practical. As usual it is required that user could insert code examples anywhere in the article.

insert gist embeds

Thanks for the heads-up. Almost the functionality I want (in a Cobalt field and form). I can see they make use of ACE editor. Seems to be available for Joomla, too. Among other special code editors. Maybe an option, as I mentioned in my initial post.
