Markdown and Smarty Pants

Not sure how to do it from within your plugin, but is it no good doing it in the weblog preferences? “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links? yes/no “.

Ok. That seems to work well (turning it off in the Weblog’s individual preferences) so I have for everyone a revised “MarkyPants” plugin. Enjoy! And don’t forget it requires the Markdown and SmartyPants plugins to be installed also.

mark, I’m getting this error after setting a field formatting as markypants. markdown, smartypants, and markypants are installed.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare identify_modifier_markdown() (previously declared in C:\dev\myproject\myadmin\plugins\pi.markdown.php:241) in C:\dev\myproject\myadmin\plugins\pi.markdown.php on line 252

did you mean that Markdown and SmartyPants should be uninstalled?

How are you using the formatting? As a custom field’s formatting or as tags in a template?

Alright, try this one out. I’ve switched around the includes to require_onces and maybe that will help. Also make sure you have the most up to date plugins from http://expressionengine.com/downloads/detailslist/. Finally I had both markdown and smarty added as formatting options under the edit field > edit formatting link. I will debug without this and see if that’s what’s causing your problem.

hi mark, seems to be working now cheers 😊

the only thing I hadn’t done before was also add smarty as a formatting option.

Ahh, I see, well I’ve tried it both with/without Markdown and Smarty as formatting options and it worked for me. Let me know if you’re still finding otherwise. Thanks for the debugging help.

From what i understand, i should add Markdown, Smartypants and Markypants, and then an extra field formatting option would appear. I tried to do so, but nothing appears, and my plugin manager-page remains white … (wich usually means there’s an error in a plugin …)

Thanks.

Update: The error appears to be in MarkyPants …

The only thing I can think of that would be erring in the file are these two lines:

require_once(“pi.markdown.php”); require_once(“pi.smarty_pants.php”);

Are your plugins named like above? Are they both also in the plugins folder?

Markdown is an extension, the rest are pi’s …

Is there a complete package online, to get MarkyPants going?

Thanks.

You’ll want to get them off the plugin list from:

http://expressionengine.com/downloads/detailsmarkdown/ http://expressionengine.com/downloads/detailssmarty-pants/

Install both of those in your plugins folder and then install markypants and you should be good to go.

Great. I’ll give it a shot later on today. If i understood correctly it appears as a field type, and would have the same functionality as standard xhtml-type PLUS the markdown-thingy?

Thanks!

It actually only has the markdown functionality. Which shouldn’t be a problem because markdown replicates all the necessary XHTML formatting anyway.
