Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

When I insert Coldfusion tags via the SOURCE button in FCKEditor, the code is being saved with errors (i.e., single quotes are replaced with "’", <cfif> statements are disassembled).

For example,

<cfif query.recordcount GT 0>

becomes this:

<cfif gt="" query.recordcount="">

I am able to place javascript in FCKEditor just fine. The problems only occur with Coldfusion tags.

I found another post describing this problem (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2065&p=5182&hilit=+coldfusion+tags#p5182)- and it suggested adding these lines to the config file:

FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<cf[\s\S]*?>/gi ) ; // ColdFusion cf tags - OPEN.
FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<\/cf[\s\S]*?>/gi ) ; // ColdFusion cf tags - CLOSE.

I tried this but that didn't fix the problem.

I also tried adding the Coldfusion tags to the list of Protected Tags in the config file, but that didn't work either.

FCKConfig.ProtectedTags = 'cfquery|cfif|cfoutput' ;

I hope I'm just overlooking something obvious. I can't figure this one out.

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

Don't use ProtectedTags as that has a very special meaning, you must use the ProtectedSource and set the correct regexp to match your code.

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

Should I assume that the code below is incorrect for my purposes?

FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<cf[\s\S]*?>/gi ) ; // ColdFusion cf tags - OPEN.
FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<\/cf[\s\S]*?>/gi ) ; // ColdFusion cf tags - CLOSE.

Thanks,
chris

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

I found a partial solution:

FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<cfquery\s[^>]*>.*?<\/cfquery>/gi ) ; 
FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<cfif\s[^>]*>.*?<\/cfif>/gi ) ;

This preserves the coldfusion tags. I still can't keep the apostrophes and greater than/less than signs from switching to "’ < >".

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

I am now able to preserve Coldfusion tags in FCKEditor (see above), but I can't keep the apostrophes and greater than/less than signs from switching to "’ < >". This causes the code to generate errors.

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

I guess that you'll need to find someone that uses Coldfusion in order to understand your problem, with the given info I can't figure out how to reproduce your problem.

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

If anyone cares, I sort of solved the problem by cleaning up the FCKEditor content with a CF function when it is called from SQL:

<cffunction name="CleanUpCode" access="public" returntype="string" output=true>
    <cfargument name="string" type="string" required="true"/>
         <cfset string = #Replace(string, "&rsquo;", "'", "all")#>
         <cfset string = #Replace(string, "&lt;", "<", "all")#>
         <cfset string = #Replace(string, "&gt;", ">", "all")#>         
      <cfreturn string> 
</cffunction>

I'd prefer to clean it up before it is saved to SQL, but this was the best I could come up with.

Re: Using ColdFusion Tags in FCKEditor

I know this is an old post but hopefully you are still here.

You use a function to fix the code after it's retrieved with the following function:

<cffunction name="CleanUpCode" access="public" returntype="string" output=true>
<cfargument name="string" type="string" required="true"/>
<cfset string = #Replace(string, "’", "'", "all")#>
<cfset string = #Replace(string, "<", "<", "all")#>
<cfset string = #Replace(string, ">", ">", "all")#>
<cfreturn string>
</cffunction>

Can you give me the exact syntax that you used?

I can't seem to get it to work.
