PatrickRQ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Well, I recently purchased the IP.Board together with all its applications, with every minute of configuring it I am becoming more shocked of its possibilities ;) However, what I found annoying for me? The build-in Templates/css System without coloring the codes. I would find it very useful and I believe it is not something that cannot be done. What the point is.. there is no point to go to external editing for small as for medium things.. I/we.. would be able to do it from the built-it system but without the colors it start to be very difficult to read and consumes much more time. I also believe that many of other IPS' Customers would find it useful and this is what is really missing among looots of amazing features of IPS' products.

Rimi Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have you tried using the visual skin editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yes, However I still would prefer do things in code, more quicker for me.. the only thing is missing that coloured code to make it read easier.. cuz what for to go for external tools having so complex engine?

Lewis P Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 You mean syntax highlighting I believe? If so - I agree totally. It used to be in the very early 3.0 Alpha/Beta releases but got removed due to problems with the syntax.. It's not always convenient for me (as a skinner) to login to WebDAV to make a change on a clients' site. Something like what IP.Content has would be great - the ability to choose between using a syntax highlighted editor or the normal text area. Saying that, I do understand the limitations... Would be nice to see something like this implemented though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 yes, exactly.. I mean the syntax highlighting, it would make everybody's life 10 times easier and would safe a lot of time and nerves. Anyway, I can say the IP.Board is best forum engine I have ever seen, with that little exception :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimi Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Oh that's what you're talking about. Yes, it's a phenomenal idea, but if it makes the page refresh then it's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 but if it makes the page refresh then it's not worth it. What do you mean? I am wondering I did not understand you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimi Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What do you mean? I am wondering I did not understand you.In IP.content when you save a template the page reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 In my opinion there is no any kind of conflict, it would be easy to be done to get returned to the line you worked on and do not conflict at all with syntax colouring: http://screenshooter.net/6304152/omcucot :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 We tried one with IP.Board 3.0, but the size of our CSS files made the editor lag extremely badly in IE (and only IE...). We had to remove it as a result. We are investigating alternatives still. You can set up WebDAV to edit your templates and CSS files, which would allow you to use a native code editor on your computer to edit those files. That would give you syntax highlighting (and any other features your editor supports). Search our documentation area for "webdav" for more info.

PatrickRQ Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 IE still exists? <joke> ^^ It should die already. if IE was making a trouble why to prohibit developers working with other browsers? wouldn't there possible a switch to turn it off while IE? Only theoretical question.. Thanks for answer and your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 IE is (at least was at the time) the single most used browser on the market. We have to support it, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 http://screenshooter...6304152/ottqrvh IE slowly but dieing (hurrey!) most non-user friendly browser ever. However I understand you :tongue: I'll be waiting for your new solution for this issue ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
