CodeMirror adding extra lines

  • I have tried CodeMirror for Post Editor, and I’m having a problem with it.

    When I open and close the CodeMirror editor, it adds blank lines (empty <p> tags) to my code. This happens even if I don’t make or save any changes while CodeMirror is opened. I would love to use this plugin if this could be resolved.

    Also, I see that the plugin does contain all of the optional theme files, but I can find no way to select a different theme. Is there a settings page, or any other way to change the theme?

    Hi!

    I’m very sorry that it took so long for me to reply; I though I was suscribed to the support postings but apparently I wasn’t… I am now, though.

    I’m currently working on a new version of the plugin, which I’d like to tag as 1.0.0 so it’s a big challenge.

    I’m aware there are some line breaks issues with the current version and that’s my main focus for the new release. Unfortunately, it’s a fairly complex issue since this plugin must update the WordPress text editor and then refresh the visual editor, and that involves a lot of processing. I’ve managed to keep line breaks consistently with what you would get from changing between the text and visual editor, but then I lose indentation and whitespace. I’m still iterating on a few ideas, though, so I hope to at least get to a comfortable compromise.

    Config settings are also planned for the next release, including themes and some font options.

    Thanks Felipe,

    Your plugin is a noble effort and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks for your work on this and for making it public.

    I’m so glad to hear that you are working on it and planning improvements. I hope you will have success. Code Mirror is so nicely designed, and having it available in WordPress would be heavenly.

    I don’t currently have your plugin installed since it doesn’t work well for my needs in the current form. If you can, please reply to this thread once your update is available; that way I’ll be notified and will try it out again!

    For what it’s worth, I personally prefer to write my HTML without indentation anyway; especially when there is limited width to work in. But that may not be the most common preference!

    By the way, are you testing your efforts with the TinyMCE Advanced plugin installed, to make sure they play together nicely? I’ll bet that many of the people who would use your plugin already have TinyMCE Advanced installed.

    Best wishes and good luck with your coding!
