You can now just place your original codes right into your WYSIWYG editor. The only thing you have to do is surround the code with the Sourcerer tags. Easy peasy!
So now you can also use PHP scripts in your content. That opens up a great deal of possibilities.
Most Joomla! Text Editors will strip parts of your HTML code, like JavaScripts (think of statistics scripts) and movie embed tags. With Sourcerer you won't have these limitations.
Easy to use editor button
Sourcerer comes with a very easy to use editor button. This will help you paste your code in a clean format that will not cause any problems. Also it comes with syntax coloring (php, js, css, html).

First, I must say that I use JS Resources for my CCK, but it lack of html fields, almost all my html tags fom widget which I paste there is stripped by the Resources, thus the syntax is error when I load my homepage.
Then I found this plug-in through chat via ym with the maker. He actually contact me via ym told about other plug-in from him has been updated.
I tried this plug-in, and happy with it. It does what it says, my sociallist widget is now appears in my homepage.
There's one lack tough, in my experience, the button Insert Code did worked, but after I filled the code in the editor and clicked Insert, the page didn't loading back to my Content Resource page. Even I clicked the cancel button and there's nothing happened. So, I use the copy paste to paste the code to my html fields in Resource page.
Maybe it's my Firefox's fault or anything but the plug-in itself. Still, this plug-in is great. b^_^d

I think your issue comes down to the editor (not Sourcerer). If you contact me via the forum or mail we can sort this out.

I have been using Joomla and extensions, for about a year now. In the past I have found some source code editor's to be unreliable, sometimes displaying the code right in the article. What a mess that was. So, to use custom PHP, we have resorted to creating links within the article to page is running outside of Joomla. This was a nightmare to match up all the CSS code,and was.... well, very hokey and clunky. While looking for another extension I happened upon this one. I thought I would just give it a try, and it works amazingly well! So well in fact that I joined the Joomla community just to write this review.
Excellent job gentlemen!

Thanks for your wonderful review :)
I downloaded, I installed, I enabled, I added HTML / CSS, I uploaded images and I got the exact results I wanted and the code W3C compliant. It really does not get any more convenient than this to add PHP or precise XHTML/CSS to any article.
I wish I tried this before I had wrestled with a similar component.

Simply fantastic! Thank you so much for creating an extension that does exactly as it states and with the greatest of ease. Installed instantly and JavaScript elements I have added work like a charm from the word go. I have no doubt that as I add further custom PHP scripting to my sites this extension - Sourcerer - will handle these scripts flawlessly. Well done!

I have used quite a few for implementing php into joomla content and modules - this is the perfect extension I have come across. I rarely review but after using the extension I wanted to compliment the developer.

Thank you! If you come across anything in Sourcerer that is less than perfect, please let me know.

A very useful and powerful solution to add scripts to a page. It should be part of the core functionality of Joomla.
The problem: I kept on running into the auto cleanup functionality of tinymce when I inserted scripts in pages. I looked for a solution to keep my scripts in an article while using tinymce.
The solution: Sourcerer. I no longer have to switch between editors, I can use tinymce and my scripts work. Just place the code between two tags in the editor and you are set. No need to switch to the html viewer. Thanks Nonumber.

Easier and more practical way to embed amazon or similar stuff into your content items. Thanks so much!

This is a fantastic add-on. The developer seems to have thought of absolutely everything.
It works, and it has a wide range of security options to turn it on and off selectively.
Well done, Peter!

Simple and elegant really sums this extension up, in fact it applies to all of the extensions that I have tried from this developer.
Add it to your list of must haves!

If you need to include/edit raw .html etc. to embed widgets from 3rd party solution websites this is essential and works perfectly.

Installed perfectly. Easy to use. Installed code for my webcams and other video without a problem. Great time saver. Wow!

Easy Install! - First Time!
Works as advertised!
Does what I need it to do!
Simple but elegant, like going for Fast Food and getting served a 5 star meal.
This should be built into Joomla!

It is a good way to add on content to your site, however, I prefer the look of DirectPHP which doesn't use the '[[' coding rule. However, if you are looking to do some major script editing I am sure it is more than adequate.
Owner's reply
the use of double brackets '[[...]]' is not a rule. It is a way to get around the editor stripping the tags. If your editor does not strip the tags, you can just use normal tag syntax.

This extension is great. I needed to put php code into my copyright module in my footer to automatically update the year (each year). I had been hard coding it in to the template but it is much easier now that I can do it in the module. Thanks and a big thumbs up :)

This the best Joomla extension I have used. Great Work. Worked first time. Handles all I need with no problems. Installs with no problems and activates itself.
byatrevido on June 9, 2009
The product works like it´s supposed to. I had a problem at first but that was my fault, i didn´t enable both plugins. The support was rapid and Peter took time out to help me out.
Great job guys.

I wasted 45 minutes trying to get another plugin to work and I'm so glad I gave up and moved to Sourcerer! This one is a cinch! From download to set-up there were no issues. As somebody who comes from a traditional hand-coding background, there are times I have wished to have that control. This plugin is one I'll be using on all the sites we build. Thanks!

I have been trying to get a simple Google maps iFrame enclosed in the content...
With this plugin it works out simple and easy,it just unlocked a great way of implementing source code for other issues I had.
Thank you so much, a small donation is on it way!

I was looking for a way to add Paypal buttons to articles. When the code is added to the article it gets stripped out. So I thought couldn't hurt to try.
Installed the editor button, module and plugin. Enabled the module and plugin, added the tags and code to the article and it worked. Tried a PayPal cart and it worked.
Just not sure what the editor button I installed was for as I can't find it anywhere in modules or plugins. But still an excellent job.
