Has anyone made a Markdown Extention yet?

    If you have an old one, you can pretty easily turn it into a new one by making a markdown folder, copying your markdown.php file from the old version into the folder and naming it default.php. Then go enable it and see if it works...

    I decided I wasn't going to support markdown anymore - but if someone else wants to make it and upload it to the add-on repository, that's cool. I just know that there are some buggy things about the php version of markdown that annoyed me.

    I'll definitely use it. For one of my forums I'm having to support a non savvy user-base. Markdown is very simple and I think they'd rather that than bb-code or html. Was the bugginess something they would encounter if they just used simple formatting like bold, italic, and linking?
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    I can't remember. Just use it and see, I guess.

    I'm using the old Markdown extention on Vanilla 1 and so far it's working as expected. Give it a try!

    It seems that none of my text modifying stuff is working. Is there a button I forgot to click or a permission I forgot to set? I've tried the old Markdown, the enhanced BBCode extention, and the HTML extention. Any idea's?
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    No permissions, no. It should work fine as long as you've got the new versions of the extensions and they're installed properly.

    It's the same was what Wikipedia use I think, not sure if you've ever used it jeff, but it's pretty good.

    I have disabled all my extentions and then enabled just the markdown extention. I get the following error: Notice: Use of undefined constant agFORMATSTRINGFORDISPLAY - assumed 'agFORMATSTRINGFORDISPLAY' in /homepages/44/d92618009/htdocs/chrispasseno/community/extensions/Markdown/default.php on line 28 Any idea's of what that is?

    Try doing a search replace on that string in the markdown/default.php file.
    Replace agFORMATSTRINGFORDISPLAY with FORMAT_STRING_FOR_DISPLAY

    Or just download it from the addons site.

    doh! Nice one, a_magical_me :)
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    Thanks! I even fixed a couple bugs that used to plague that extension. (Namely, < signs being escaped twice in code blocks, and direct-style <http://whatever.com> urls not working)
  • imathisimathis
    Thanks pal
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    You're welcome!

    Note to self: When you install a text formatter, make sure that you click the option in the Account -> Forum Preferences -> Show the comment format type selector when adding comments. I feel like an idiot.

    a_magical_me, Thanks for this. Was wondering if the Markdown extension could be updated with the latest version of PHP Markdown 1.0.1e (or PHP Markdown 1.1.1): http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/

    This would be nice :)

    There's a new one, huh? Shouldn't be too hard...
