Markdown and Smarty Pants

That’d be great!

Thanks.

Mark,

I’ve been wanting to use both Markdown and Smarty Pants for my formatting for a while, and this fits the bill perfectly.

I believe I’ve found a small problem with the plugin and EE 1.5.2. With the plugin installed, I cannot view the “Plugin Manager” page in the control panel. I’ve deleted and reinstalled each plugin on two installs (one full, one core) on two different servers, and in each case, the Plugin Manager page comes up blank if, and only if, Markypants is installed. Otherwise, the plugin seems to work fine on the new version.

Thanks for looking into this.

@Jacob: You have both the pi.markdown.php and pi.smartypants.php plugins installed correct?

Mark, I never got back to you but this is the same problem I mentioned last week. And I was using 1.5.1 at the time.

Mark,

I do have the markdown and smarty_pants plugins installed, and functionally, the markypants plugin works fine (I’m using it as the formatting option on my weblog). The only problem is accessing the plugins page.

Hum… I’m not sure what would cause this. Is there anyway you can look at your error_logs and see if there is a PHP Error popping up?

Mark, it seems to be that the plugin manager tries to add the markdown and smarty plugins twice - once because they’re in the plugin directory, and again because markypants is including them.

To get around this I created a new directory /plugins/markypants/ and moved markdown and smarty in there. And changed the includes.

It all seems to be working fine now.

Not sure if this is the best way to go about things or not. I’m using PHP5.1.4 btw.

Mark,

I checked out my error logs and there doesn’t appear to be anything.

I did follow smallbeer’s recommendation, and that worked. I am running PHP 5.1.6. The only downside is that markdown and smartypants are no longer available as stand alone plugins. That isn’t an issue for me, but it might be for someone - just a thought.

Thanks for looking into this.

Is there a possibility to define a target when creating a link with the Markdown syntax?

Thanks.

I just did a fresh install of EE to debug some problems I’m having, and I’m no longer able to download Markdown and SmartyPants from docs.markhuot.com; I get file not found messages. Anyone have a copy of the most recent versions? PM’s plugin downloader only has 1.0 versions.

Thanks, Ben

Same here.

I think Mark wrote extensions for markdown and smarypants before he realised plugins already existed. His markypants plugin uses these existing plugins so I guess he’s removed the extensions (but forgot to remove the links) as there’s no need for them.

Both plugins are still available on the pMachine site. http://plugins.pmachine.com

The latest version of the Markdown plugin caused this extension to break. You can download a new version at the top of this thread.

Any update on restoring auto-linking for URLs/emails intact while running MarkyPants?
