I work now since some months with EE and I am really happy 😊

Something I dont like is the code editor, my code is not well formated.
Often I copy the code in Eclipse, format it and copy it back to EE 😊

Is there already en extension for the editor?
Or what is your approach on that?

Thx for your input!

Best, Thomas

I’m not sure I follow. Are you talking about the template editor? How is it not “well formatted”?

yes, I am talking about the template editor…

I see that every template is also saved as a .html file in system/expressionengine/templates/...

The problem is: If I code directly in this file, and afterwards open the template editor, it’s not the same version. This is only one way—> if you save a template over template editor, it will write it down tpo the file…the other way is not possible/implemented?

In general, I want to ask…how do you do, if you are writting an template…do it directly in the template editor? My approach is to do it Eclipse & copy it into the template editor…because ion Eclipse I have code highlithing, formating shortcuts and auto completion…

If you turn on that option, yes.

Saving files as templates is usually done in order to be able to use an external editor. That said, “Synchronize Templates” should do what you want.

That’s exactly what I want to do! THX!

Very glad to hear it. Please post again as needed.
