new plugin InsertSnippet

[ray]

please have a look at my new plugin: It can load snippets of HTML from an external file and insert them with one click in Xinha

[mharrisonline]

Wow! It works great!

I can imagine that the page would eventually get really long, will it scroll?

Also, it might be more of a time saver if there was a list of snippets to choose from, that would allow you to either insert or preview. If someone has 20 snippets, they wouldn't want to scroll to number 18 if that was five feet down the page.

You´re right. try the new version.

added preview button

[mharrisonline]

Wow! Much better. Will it scroll when the list gets really long? If not you could put the list into a div and assign a class like this to it:

div.scroll {
	height: 200px;
	width: 575px;
	overflow: auto;
	border: 1px solid #666;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	padding: 5px;

}

add to xinha in Changeset 439

yes, it does scroll

If you click outside of the editor area before clicking on the button to launch the plugin, it will paste the HTML outside the editor. You need the line

editor.focusEditor();

before the HTML is inserted. So, the function:

InsertSnippet.prototype.buttonPress = function(editor) {
		var args = editor.config;
		editor._popupDialog( "plugin://InsertSnippet/insertsnippet", function( param ) {
	
		if ( !param ) { 
	      return false;
	    }
				   	   
		eval(HTMLArea._geturlcontent(editor.config.InsertSnippet.snippets));
		if (param['how'] == 'variable') {
			editor.insertHTML('{'+snippets[param["snippetnum"]].id+'}');
		} else {
			editor.insertHTML(snippets[param["snippetnum"]].HTML);
	   	}
  
    }, args);
  };

would become:

InsertSnippet.prototype.buttonPress = function(editor) {
		var args = editor.config;
		editor._popupDialog( "plugin://InsertSnippet/insertsnippet", function( param ) {
	
		if ( !param ) { 
	      return false;
	    }
				   	   
		eval(HTMLArea._geturlcontent(editor.config.InsertSnippet.snippets));
		editor.focusEditor();
		if (param['how'] == 'variable') {
			editor.insertHTML('{'+snippets[param["snippetnum"]].id+'}');
		} else {
			editor.insertHTML(snippets[param["snippetnum"]].HTML);
	   	}
  
    }, args);
  };

...which stops this from happening.

Ah, I see it´s commited now. I made a patch, so someone with access to svn can patch it.
