Hi, Was wondering if there's an easy was to get the admin/developer/xslt source editor to have line numbers and syntax highlighting. Not just xsl but also on the template editor and all the other source editors.
There's some 'codepress' files included, so was thinking it maybe hooked up somewhere but is not turned on currently.
Anyone know how i might get this working.?
Cheeers.

Actually just found it. for anyone else looking go
/config/umbracoSetting.config
then find the line
<scriptDisableEditor>true</scriptDisableEditor>
and change to
<scriptDisableEditor>false</scriptDisableEditor>

Wow, I just found this and enabled the codepress editor. Very nice. Which makes me wonder why it is not enabled by default.

Hi, Pete, The codepress editor is very nice indeed. But it has some quirks that didn't get ironed out before v3 went live and that's why it was disabled by default. In particular, pasting into the codepress editor tends to give you a lot of linebreaks. cheers, doug.

It was a bit buggy when v3 was launched so it could suddenly collapse all the code, and a line disapperaed here and there, so they decided to leave it off as default. And at the same time I think the Codepress project stagnated in development, so a combination of those things...

Thanks to Morten and Doug for the replies. I worked with it a while this morning and I see what you mean about the quirks. I think overall I still like it, but it does taking some getting used to. Too bad the project stalled. I found their Web site and sure enough, it looks like there hasn't been an update in 18 months -- an eternity in Internet time!

One more option to add to the mix is the EditArea editor. Here's a recent post: Syntax Highlighting in the Umbraco Admin Back end - XSLT, CSS, HTML-Paul

Regarding Edit Area, the last I checked, they had ironed out the bugs that was causing issues with .NET, so it should work well at this point. I only had about a dozen bug reports to them after using it for a week. Let us all know how it goes. It may be worth revisiting again.

Great, I'm gonna try Edit Area. So maybe Niels et. al. should include Edit Area rather than (or in addition to) Codepress in future releases of umbraco.

Paul, After turning this on if you try to add macro in template or insert code in xslt editor you dont get anything. However when you turn it off you do. Dont know if you have come across this? Regards Ismail

Can be nice if syntax highlighting can be turned on/off by pressing some button in UI

Petr,
The solution Paul has comeup with has a check box to turn on and off in the editor. There is issue though with inserting macro when it is turned on.

Yeh neither of these worked properly in the end. The built in codepress one adds a load of lines when you save each file and doesnt keep the structure of stuff when i copy and pasted. And the EditArea one wont let me save when its in the code highlighting mode, but does when the box is unchecked, plus the not working macro insertion. Hey ismail can you have alook at this post agian, as it's still hidden on the last pages of the extending umbraco forum so i doubt you'd have seen it. http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst4522_Getting-umbracolibrary-to-associate-with-external-xsl.aspxCheerss.

I tried EditArea and was loving it until I realized that it was doing the same thing for me -- IOW, I could not save changes made to the script unless I first toggle off the syntax highlighting. So now we have two alternatives, neither of which quite works right with umbraco. That's a real bummer.
