Nope nothing here I’m afraid :down:

Nothing shows in the menu and also if I press Command (Apple) + \ I don’t get anything either.

Is this just me being dumb again and can others get this to work? 😉

Is there anything in your ~/Library/Application Support/Coda/Plug-ins/ folder? If you put a copy of EE Helper.codaplugin in there and restart Coda, does that work?

Hiya,

Yep first thing I checked was that folder. The plugin did get installed there just like a couple of other plugins that I have installed so it did at least go in the right place.

Not too sure what it could be really?

Hi Mark,

As Dom said, check that directory - if ‘EE Helper’ is there, delete it, and double click on the downloaded plug-in. Coda should automatically copy it to that directory and install it.

There’s a plugin available to easily open that directory from the Coda Plugins menu - direct link: Reveal Plugins.

@Dom.S: Thanks for the suggestion. I will update the plugin to close on Insert.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the help. What I meant was I didn’t place the plugin there, Coda did so I don’t think deleting it and trying again will make a difference will it? I mean Coda placed it there in the first place so if it can’t do it the first time I’m not sure if trying again will make a difference?

Hold on one minute…

… just tried deleting it and installing again and same thing, nothing listed in the Plugins menu and the key command doesn’t do anything either.

Finding the folder isn’t any problem for me though 😉

Best wishes,

That’s weird. Did you try quitting Coda before reinstalling the plugin?

If that doesn’t work, open the Mac OS Console when you have a chance, and see if Coda logs any error messages when it launches. Coda scans its plugins directory every time it launches, and initializes the plugins it finds. It usually logs a message saying that it found several instances of CodaScriptPlugin. Maybe it logs an error message in your case with EE Helper installed.

Finding the folder isn’t any problem for me though 😉

 

That plugin is quite handy to me 😊. I’ve deleted the plugin from that folder during testing so many times…

Yep I’ve tried both with Coda not on and double-clicking the plugin and also Coda not on and installing the file myself and then also with Coda on and double-clicking.

None of which work. Checked out the Console whilst Coda loads and nothing untowards there from what I can see.

Must just be me then!! :down:

Will try later on when at home on my home system see if that makes a difference.

Best wishes,

Perhaps a conflict with another plug-in? I didn’t have any installed beforehand, which could be a factor.

My thought was maybe it’s a keyboard shortcut conflict. Each plugin defines its own shortcuts, and I haven’t tested what happens if 2 plugins ask for the same shortcut.

Okay I have it working now 😊

Tried as suggested and took out all other plugins. There must be a conflict somewhere with one of them. Wasn’t using any of them anyway so have deleted them now.

This looks really neat, well done!!

Would be nice if it didn’t run out of time though 😉

Best wishes,

It looks as though this is one of those upgrades that will only really start to show its value once people have had a chance to get their head around the plugin system and start releasing things. What I’d really like to see is the ability to add automatic code completion for extra languages such as, ooh I don’t know, Expression Engine tags. I’m assuming that’s not doable yet, could I be wrong?

There’s no hook into Coda’s inline auto completion - at least, I think there isn’t. The best I could do right now is to present a new window with tags filtered by the text the insertion point is on - if it matches one of the tags the plugin knows about…

This is do-able and has actually been do-able since Coda’s initial release; no plugins required.

If you want autocompletion for your language of choice, you can create new .mode files or add to the existing ones.  Creating one from scratch is rather involved so you’d probably just want to add EE tags to the existing .mode file for PHP.

You’ll want to copy the .mode file from the Coda application bundle to ~/Library/Application Support/Coda/Modes first, and work on it there.  Coda checks there before checking in the app bundle; if you have a .mode file for PHP in there it will take precedence over the one in the app bundle next time Coda is launched.

Actually, now that I’ve typed this out, I noticed that somebody’s already begun work on this: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/51330/
