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 comes with syntax coloring (php, js, css, html).

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Kudos to the developers!

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!
