pbckcode

A CKEditor plugin to easily add code into your articles. The plugin will create a dialog where you will be able to format your code as your will. When you press the OK button, the plugin will create a pre tag with your code inside.

Demos

• Basic configuration
• Use options
• Load ACE from custom directory
• Full CKEditor

Installation

1. Download the plugin from the Github repository : https://github.com/prbaron/pbckcode/tags
2. Place the src folder into the plugins folder of CKEditor ({Path to CKEDitor}/plugins/)
3. Rename the folder to pbckcode (it will be easier to call it into CKEditor)
4. Open the config.js file and add the following lines :

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {
  // CKEDITOR TOOLBAR CUSTOMIZATION
  // I only set the needed buttons, so feel frey to add those you want in the array
  config.toolbarGroups = [
    {name: 'pbckcode'},
    // your other buttons here
    // get information about available buttons here: bhttp://docs.ckeditor.com/?mobile=/guide/dev_toolbar
  ];

  // CKEDITOR PLUGINS LOADING
  config.extraPlugins = 'pbckcode'; // add other plugins here (comma separated)

  // ADVANCED CONTENT FILTER (ACF)
  // ACF protects your CKEditor instance of adding unofficial tags
  // however it strips out the pre tag of pbckcode plugin
  // add this rule to enable it, useful when you want to re edit a post
  // only needed on v1.1.x
  config.allowedContent = 'pre[*]{*}(*)'; // add other rules here

  // PBCKCODE CUSTOMIZATION
  config.pbckcode = {
    // An optional class to your pre tag.
    cls: '',

    // The syntax highlighter you will use in the output view
    highlighter: 'PRETTIFY',

    // An array of the available modes for you plugin.
    // The key corresponds to the string shown in the select tag.
    // The value correspond to the loaded file for ACE Editor.
    modes: [['HTML', 'html'], ['CSS', 'css'], ['PHP', 'php'], ['JS', 'javascript']],

    // The theme of the ACE Editor of the plugin.
    theme: 'textmate',

    // Tab indentation (in spaces)
    tab_size: '4'
  };
};

And you are good to go! You will have the same configuration than the demo.
