Bug? Please report all bugs to my bug tracker (you need an account to report bugs; register here), unless it's a support issue, or a small problem, like a packaging error. You will have to differentiate between installation/user error (and the like) and what could be a bug. While I will definitely maintain support for the MOD in this topic, I cannot do bug reports in topic as it gets very messy and disorganized (your post may get missed in a bunch of other posts).

Usage:
To enable/disable the line numbers:

Great mod, thanks. It's useful for many users and me.

btw, your installation instructions (0.9.2 BETA) does not contain a SQL directive, like

Code: Select all

DELETE FROM phpbb_config WHERE config_name = 'enable_code_lines';
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('enable_code_lines', '0', '0');

Your welcome. I made and included a database updater script as per your suggestion.

James78, it's great.

James78, do you know, how to change the default font color of general text for a codes defined as a GeSHi syntax language (non-keywords)? For example, in the code box with vb syntax have all unknown keywords shown as green. Can I define initial font color for GeSHi only?

[James78]

That's a bit more difficult/advanced topic, however this section of the GeSHi documentation may be of some help (I hope). Specifically, check out the "Setting Keyword Styles" section in the documentation link I gave you.

If you only wanted to change the color for the VB language, you could simply go edit the VB language file in the includes/geshi/geshi directory.

Their demo appears to have these features, but I'm afraid I don't know how they've done it, but how they've most likely done it is by having a global CSS for the highlighting, then adding/removing/changing various CSS rules based on your selections.

[Logman]

Thanks for the tip, I tried to change the style directly in geshi.php file, but without success. Maybe it's a combination of several variables, but I tried everything

Finally, I had to write dirty line to geshi.php:

Code: Select all

      $endresult = str_replace(array('<SEMI>', '<PIPE>'), array(';', '|'), $endresult);
// ADD (VERY DIRTY METHOD):
		$endresult = '<span style="color:#000000;">' . $endresult . '</span>';
// <<--

I really wish I didn't have to post this, cause I have searched high and low and cannot seem to find an answer.

Your syntax highlight mod is exactly what I am looking for to brighten up my forums (when my site officially launches)
I fought with AutoMod for hours before getting it to work properly (I use MSSQL with shared host 1&1 and my host is terrible! ) just so I could get your mod installed and geshi in the right location.

Now, my problem is, I have installed your mod and it said "successful".. but when i try to do the code tags for C++ it doesnt alter the keyword colors or anything at all. It looks exactly as it did before I installed the mod and put GeSHi in my root\includes\ folder.

I am using a customized style/theme for my forums, would that be a problem? I wouldn't think it would... but I am new to this.

I AM a novice programmer, but this is driving me batty.

Could anyone please offer me some help on this?

Thank you!

Clear your forum and template cache.

[Bluechimera]

Clear your forum and template cache.

hmm, I tried that and no cigar...

What I have noticed upon trying to uninstall... is that the files didnt seem to be copied to their correct locations when I used AutoMod I reinstalled and double checked... they were not in the location they were supposed to be in.

I will keep fiddling with it, please let me know if you have any other ideas.

Thanks so much!

**EDIT**

Ok, I had to manually install your mod and do some alterations to the style bbcode.html to get it to work with my forum style.
It looks a little funky with my color scheme, but i can figure it out from here.

Thank you for your time and trouble.

[James78]

I forgot to mention. You said you're using a different style. Changes are only made to Prosilver (and there's also a file for Subsilver too). But any other themes you have, alterations always have to be manually made for those.

Anyways, glad it works. Enjoy the mod!

[Bluechimera]

Sorry to bother you again, but I have one more small question.

Is there a list you have compiled for all languages? I see that you have a few examples in screenshots, but do you have a full listing, or at least a partial?

like I know the code tags for C++ are

Code: Select all

[code=cpp]
cout << "Hello World" << endl;

[/code]

But, what about the many other languages you have inside here?

I would like to see a list if it is available to put in a sort of informational help area for future users,moderators, and myself.
I have looked over Geshi's docs and any other information on your wonderful mod; yet, I cannot seem to locate a listing.

If it doesn't exist, no big deal

Thanks again!

[James78]

Inside the zip you downloaded is a .txt file which is a list of languages and the string to use in the code box.

I went ahead and made that text file of jumbled text into a table for future users to reference.
feel free to make alterations if any mistakes were made in the translation and send them to me, and I will upload the new version. also, feel free to add the file to your packaged Mod.
It is in .docx (MS Office Word 2007+) format, if needed, I can change to .doc

I hope this helps someone else out
