Adding custom Code Editor like Header/Footer HTML into a theme...

[Alexandru]

So I see there is another editor so to say where Header / Footer HTML is and I also want to use it but I can't figure out how.

Examples.
Invisioncommunity:


Mine:

I want to make it show exactly like Header and Footer editor.

help?

I think I can access it and make it show through Custom PHP, but I don't know where to select it. There is no documentation for it.

 

If i use it as shown in my example it will display like this

and that's why I want it like in Header/Footer.

Well, I guess there is no one here with a solution. I'll try to find something to work around it. 

@Jim M any thoughts??

If I read the above correctly, you will want to be using a Codemirror helper, and not a Text helper.

A quick look at system\Theme\Theme.php for the theme_simple_header_settings and theme_simple_footer_settings fields gives the answer.

As Nathan said, make sure you're using a CodeMirror editor type, eg.

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Codemirror( 'theme_simple_header_settings', $this->custom_header, FALSE, [ 'mode' => 'htmlmixed', 'height' => 400 ] ) );

Thank you both,

Now I have another problem, which is this.

You cannot save template logic in a theme setting and expect it to work when you include it. It has to be in a template and called properly as a template.

<?php
// Create a form using defaults
$form = new \IPS\Helpers\Form;

$form->add(new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Codemirror( "core_theme_setting_title_{$row['sc_id']}", $value, FALSE, [ 'mode' => 'htmlmixed', 'height' => 400 ], NULL, NULL, NULL, 'theme_setting_' . $row['sc_key'] ));


// Send the form for output
\IPS\Output::i()->output = $form;

So we did some testing with this code from above and also the code from Theme.php and we were trying to replicate it directly in the Designer Mode custom settings for the fields I've created.
 

	/**
	 * Get theme header and footer
	 *
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function getHeaderAndFooter(): array
	{
		$return = [ 'header' => null, 'footer' => null ];

		if ( $this->custom_header )
		{
			$key = 'custom_header_' . $this->_id;
			if ( ! isset( \IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key ) )
			{
				\IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key = static::compileTemplate( $this->custom_header, NULL );
			}

			$return['header'] = \IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key;
		}

		if ( $this->custom_footer )
		{
			$key = 'custom_footer_' . $this->_id;
			if ( ! isset( \IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key ) )
			{
				\IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key = static::compileTemplate( $this->custom_footer, NULL );
			}

			$return['footer'] = \IPS\Data\Store::i()->$key;
		}

		return $return;
	}

We want to know what limits we have in designer mode at customizing tabs and adding form through custom/manual PHP.

Nope. I didn't try to get it working anymore.
