Sourcerer - place any code ModulePlugin

Sourcerer enables you to place PHP and any kind of HTML style code (including CSS and JavaScript) right in to your content! Not only in your articles, but also in sections, categories, modules, components, META tags, etc.

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 can give some colors to different types of code.

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.
Well done,

Great little extension, the only issue i have is that when used in an enivornment with proxy access to the internet the backend forms take 30sec+ to load and when they do it is broken (only the form is shown no joomla backend is displayed).

Although i have easily fixed this it took me a while to find it was due to the versions_file option.

The version check will be different in next version to prevent this.
It is a shame you didn't just ask me for support. I could have helped you out immediately.

Don't even think twice about it!

This extension gets two thumbs up from me and all the design ideas in my head. FINALLY, I am able to lay out my Joomla articles and pages out the way I like 'em.

Hurray for this extension!!!!!!!
This is what I believe is the best plugin I've ever downloaded!

I had inserted a media player module into an article with the load module plugin and linked it to a menu item and set the menu link to open the article in a separate window with no navigation. This served my need for having the module open in a separate window, but I wanted the window to be resized on open to a set size each time.

I used Sourcerer to put basic HTML code in the WYSIWYG Editor and voilà, I had a custom made pop up window.

Here is the code I used:
{source}
[[html]]


{loadmodule lcplayer::Media Player}


[[/html]]
{/source}



I wish I knew about this before I installed and uninstalled several pop up modules that didn't work the way I needed them to.

To the developer I say, keep up the great work, and I look forward to more extensions from Nonumber.

100% genius
I used it to add custom paypal buttons in an article and it worked mint .).
I am thrilled with this extension! This is the extension one must have. So easy to install and use and it saves time and money! I am now able to use the Adobe Spry framework with all its widgets inside my content! Brilliant! Thanks a lot
Had tried DirectPHP, it had some problems with Joomla 1.5.8 and above. Sourcerer works perfectly and seems to have more configuration options to make it more secure. The author even helped me out with how to put php code in the URL or a wrapper link (in an indirect way - but it worked perfectly)

I had an old html site before Joomla and I couldn't figure out how I would import some of my html content into Joomla articles.

Now I see that SOURCERER is the answer.
Works fantastic.

You have PHP, HTML and JAVA

I also used perl cgi scripts which I loved.

Any chance that sourcers can also input these into Joomla articles.

That would just make my day

Thanks

Had an issue with Google Gadget code and posted on your forum after installing this mod. Your assistance was fast, your solution worked well and I love this handy little tool. It works great, solves a multitude of problems and I highly recommend it.
Owner's reply

Thanks. Yeah, if you get stuck with something, just turn to the forum and I will try and help a.s.a.p.

I have been looking for something that would allow me to insert PHP code directly into my articles and this is it!

Works fabulously and allows the ultimate control.

THANKSSSS! -:)))
I have a tax calculator I made with css file, javascript file and html file. Had no joy with other extensions. This I installed,activated and copied and pasted the lot into my article and enclosed the lot with {source} {/source}. This brilliant and sooo easy, especially as css was in head section of my html doc. A big thank-you you are a whiz!
Owner's reply

I'm glad you are happy :)
That is indeed the idea behind Sourcerer: make it easy!

I am a real novise, 2. day of using and building Joomla 1.5.8 website. Just couldnt get the java-script to work in article. After Installing the 3 modules and plugins, the javascript video showed in the article. The sourcer button is genious.
Link removed

Kudos to the developers!
Owner's reply

Yeah, the ability to easily include javascript is a big plus. But you can also use php and other tags (like css) to pimp up your articles and website.
The Sourcerer Module can even be used as a building block to create your own module applications.

This is a great extension, easy to install, worked perfectly. I had trouble inserting code, but this was 100% a user issue (i.e. my fault). The technical support I received on the forum was excellent -- very fast response time. I can't say enough good things about the performance of this extension!
bybxwww on January 3, 2009
After trying several modules, finally found this. I just wanted to put javascript to an article. Got it done! So easy and straightforward! Millions thanks..
byprdg1 on December 12, 2008
This says just what it does. If you have a Constant Contact or IContact form that you need to paste in here - it works perfect!
This plugin is just fantastic. You just have to press a button, add your custom code and you're done. This offers endless possibilities. It's just as if Joomla!'s God gave you the keys, saying "Have this, son, it's yours now". That's the kind of freedom sensation I felt thinking of all I could do with this.
I totally approve.
bybreinlbob on December 3, 2008
This was just what I was looking for. I do a lot of JavaScripting and it works perfectly.

Between the {source} {/source} tags use the double square bracket syntax [[TAG]] rather than the arrowhead syntax and there is no problem for HTML with the TinyMCE editor.
Owner's reply

Yes, I recommend the [[bracket]] syntax, because that works whatever editor you use.
But if you editor isn't fussy about using normal tags in the non-html view, it is easier, saves a lot of time and just looks more normal.
