Multiple Placeholder plugins

Hi All,

There seems to be a bug in FCK when it comes on to plugins. I've duplicated the Placeholder plugin and have called them Placeholder1 and Placeholder2.

Placeholder 1 uses the format [.name.] whiles placeholder2 uses [[name]]

When I try to double click on placeholder2 nothing happens

I think this has something to do with the fast that you can only have one TagProcessor. Maybe we need a way to assign multiple processors to a tag.

Maybe something like:

FCKXHtml.addTagProcessor("span",myFunction)

There's no need to add a generic way to include several tag processors, it can be done if the plugins are coded taking this restriction into account:

FCKPlaceholders.previousProcessor=FCKXHtml.TagProcessors['span'];

FCKXHtml.TagProcessors['span'] = function( node, htmlNode )
{
if ( htmlNode._redireccion )
node = FCKXHtml.XML.createTextNode( '[[' + htmlNode._fckplaceholder + ']]' ) ;
else
{
if (typeof FCKPlaceholders.previousProcessor == 'function')
node = FCKPlaceholders.previousProcessor ( node, htmlNode ) ;
else
FCKXHtml._AppendChildNodes( node, htmlNode, false ) ;
}
return node ;
}

If you code your tag processors this way they collaborate with each other and there won't be any problems.

Hi Alfonso,

Many thanks for the info. I'll give ti a try

One other question... Does anyone knows how to add a menu option to the context menu? I need to add "Placeholder properties" to the context menu
