Changes from previous:

This extension is the better to programing code.

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 :

Hello.

Did you really mean one star as an appreciation of the work?

Simple install, excellent result. Thank you!
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
I tested a few available code citation tools so far and your CodeCitation plugin is definitelly the best one!!!

Good work!!!!

This was exactly what I was looking for. Even though I had a little bit of trouble to get started, I got help very quickly to fix it.

If you need to show code on your website, this is the extension for you.
I have been using Joomla for awhile but only signed up today to say THANK YOU! for making this available. I have waited around for months for something like this. Thank you!!
Hi,

First of all: thank you for the long-time awaited feature of inserting code with a simple tag.

But there are some things, that I believe should be corrected:

1. URLs within the code are stripped, when it is the same URL as the Joomla-installation.

2. Why are the clipboard-buttos in Flash??? Could it be please plain HTML like in Joomlers Highlighter? Furtherore, when displaying, the code is sometimes overlapped by the flash-buttons, which is ugly.

Well, but besides that, it is a real advantage of having a custm tag for inserting code!

Best regards,
Ricardo Cristof

Hello, Ricardo.

Regarding your issues:
1. We did not see this behaviour. Please contact us at support@smartsoftwarebits.com and explain the case with examples. At the moment we assume it is not related to the plugin itself.
2. The buttun is in flash just because this is part of the SyntaxHighlighter engine. And we have no intention at the moment to rewrite or modify another project's code.

Anyway, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards, Konstantin.

I don't normally write reviews on extensions.joomla.org, but I have to make an exception for this one...

This worked absolutely perfectly! I have been fiddling with all sorts of syntax highlighting components for joomla today and none of them worked well. Generally I found that it was because of the TinyMCE editor.

But, out of the box this one worked and it looks great!

The only complaint I would have is that I didn't see anywhere on the publishers website that indicated you have to have a specific PHP version. As it turns out this plugin DOES NOT work with PHP4. As soon as I turned on PHP5 it worked great.

Good work!
