The CodeCitation plugin allows you to include code sections in your Joomla 1.5 content using "codecitation" or custom tag right inside your Joomla WYSIWYG editors.
The plugin is based on the SyntaxHighlighting 2.0 engine: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter
We have released version 1.3.1 of the plugin.
Changes from previous:
VERSION 1.3.1
========
- Page load speed improved and page size redused. Only necessary scripts are loaded.
- Custom tag support implemented. Plugin supports custom plugin invocation tag in case "codecitation" seems too long for somebody (i use "code" tag time to time).
- Default language parameter implemented and can be set on the plugin's parameters page. It allows simplified plugin invocation systax.
- Default engine parameters values can be set on the plugin's parameters page.
- Themes are changeble on plugin paameters page.
It is very easy to use, and when it works it works really well - the default css styling is attractive and the citation itself very functional with the copy-to-clipboard buttons, line numbers and the like.
I have turned off the editor on my joomla user and try to use just basic formatting for articles: open and close p tags and strong; but if I have more than four instances of code citation within one article it tends to stop working on the fifth codecitation. I've played around a fair bit trying to stop it from happening but I'm afraid I don't know what else I can do. Most of my code citations are php, xml and html.
I doubt that this is the fault of the author of codecitation, and believe it's more of a Joomla fault. It's just a shame really.

very good and simple to use
Really happy with it, does everything it says, would give it 5 stars however it causes errors with the RSS feed.
Hi!
Extension works ok. I had some problems styling it. CSS classes are a bit messy and you had to modify shCore.css to get the job done (its never a good practice to modify core extension files).
Second thing I don't like is about button or about screen that pops up. It holds too much info about the site. About region should never reveal version info to public. Remove version info and info about CMS system supporting the site.
I'll probably go back to using plain geshi.

The toolbar with copy-to-clipboard functionality is fantastic!
Thanks a lot.

The plugin was easy to install, and I only had a minor problem with a notice when I was adding attributes to the {code} like {code width="750"}. I send the creator an email, and a few hours later I got a working work-around for the notice popping up.
Wasn't a fix, but a work-around that is good enough for me, so 5 out of 5! :)

Works straight out of the box. Installation could not have been simpler.
One nice to have would be the ability to upload a code file to my site and point CodeCitation at it rather than having to paste in the code. Its not that I am lazy, its just that joomla isn't able to interpret the spaces as tabs. Presumably if this could load the file without cutting and pasting the indentation would not be spoiled.
But that is just a nice to have I hope the developers pick up on. This does exactly what it claims without headaches and installation hassles.
Nice Job!

Thanks a lot, this extension is very nice and very easy to implement, what I like best is that it supports a lot of languages programming.
I would like to express my congratulations to you and your good plugin, It's so userfull for my my articles, was only install and use.
Hi
Very good extension. Just what I needed.
I tried to have this working together with the Azrul MyBlog component, but couldn't get that the way I needed and my codes was constantly stripped.
So I got rid of the myblog and now I'm only using your plugin and the default Joomla articles.
Perfect!

That plugin just works great. It's easy to install and very easy to use once you get used to it and configure it well. The support of author is great too: when I encountered a problem it was solved in less than 24 hours. I din't find any downsides so far. Keep up the good work!
I tested this plugin and the result is :
+ installed without any problems.
+ very nice control panel .
+ less writing.. just add {code} ... {/code}
+ it is based on one of the best script SyntaxHighlighter .
- I hope to see CodeCitation button on TinyMCE toolbar that display new dialog to put a code and configure it. I think .. this is easy and in this way there is no need to write {CodeCitation} and I can style the code inside the editor by do some thing like this :

Finally after trying with another similar syntax highlighter which broke my template layout and takes one hour to look at the cause, I decided to switch into this CodeCitation and 5 minute later I can make my php snippet looks like a pro - even that just a hello Joomla one inside it.
Thanks Mate
