Hacker for Hire

Code Snippet

First off, Code Snippet 2.0 is not mine. I didn’t make it, I won’t take any credit for it. The original creator was the person who hosted a blog at http://blog.enargi.com/codesnippet/ (which no longer works and is apparently down for good; however, it is GPL.). I came across the plugin awhile ago and and I’ve decided that I couldn’t just let it be lost to the ages and I’ll let it live here as long as I’m able.

Straight from the readme.txt, Code Snippet 2.0 is is a WordPress plugin for displaying code with highlighting in blog posts. The plugin uses GeSHi syntax highlighter engine. I’ve seen others, but they’ve gone the way of the dodo and most of them didn’t have as many supported languages at Code Snippet 2.0. I also think that Code Snippet does a better job than the Code Auto-escape plugin.

Install

Download the plugin here. Or potentially, an older version from here.
Copy archive to wp-content/plugins directory
Extract the zip file
When extracted properly you should have following directory structure: /wp-content/plugins/codesnippet
Since I’ve not tore through the code, the plugin will probably not work if extracted/copied in diffrenet directory.
Enable the Plugin

Usage
The original author recommended always wrapping your code in a <pre> tag; however, I’ve found that you generally don’t need to. To use it, simply surround your code with as such and specify your language type:

[code lang="c"]
int main(int argc, char** argv) { return 0; }
[/code]

And you get this:

int main(int argc, char** argv) { return 0; }

Or you could do something like:

[code lang="php"]
<?php
echo “Hello World!”;
?>
[/code]

<?php

     echo "Hello World!";

?>

If you find a bug in it, drop a comment or an email to wyatt dot neal at gmail and I’ll try my best to fix it for you.

Also, if you have find that your language isn’t here and you write your own GeSHi hack to work with it, let me know and I’ll drop a link on this page so that people can find you. Heck, I’ll even put it in the archive so the world can share it if you want. Here’s the list of supported languages:

Jeremy Lavergne says:

I’ve not looked yet, but does this plugin just use the highlight files from VI or the likes? It would seem that it’d be easily updated then by adding new files from VI or what have you.
16 March 2007, 10:21 am
Wyatt says:

I’m not really sure, Jeremy. Looking at the code it appears that it’s really just an assembly of everyone else’s GeSHi PHP translators with some tweaked wrapping to make it work correctly in WordPress. I just can’t remember if VI uses the GeSHi stuff or not.

JR says:

You should mention adding the codesnippet/codesnippet.css link to the header and defining the codesnip-container class in the installation instructions.
19 March 2007, 1:51 pm
Wyatt says:

The following has been added to the readme.txt thanks to JR:

After looking more carefully at the code, I see that it adds the following action to wp_head:

function addCssStyle() {
echo ‘<link rel="stylesheet" href="’.get_option(’siteurl’).$this->pluginLocation.‘/codesnippet.css" type="text/css" />’, "\n";
echo ‘<style type="text/css">’, "\n";
echo ‘.codesnip-container {‘.$this->getStyle().‘}’, "\n";
echo ‘</style>’, "\n";
}

That automatically adds a link to the provided css file and a separate style for the codesnip container (as defined in the plugin config, I would assume). I don’t use wp_head in my custom theme, so that’s why it didn’t link to it automatically. You might want to include a small note for custom theme users to link to the css and define a style for codesnip-container.

Details are in the readme.txt. Thanks again JR.

4 June 2007, 7:22 pm
Wyatt says:

Bernie, I don’t think that it would do this; however, I’m not very familiar with the new WP-widget system. This plugin should only display code that you have wrapped in a code block.

seramar says:

Hey recently I posted a snippet in a post and after a reader tried to paste the code into their blog I found a new problem -

The codesnippet plugin converts ” ” to curly quotes… and therefore are not always/universally recognized by web browsers or processed correctly.

To view the specific example: http://www.thedoublezero.org/comment-exchange-movement

When a reader tried pasting it into their sidebar it wouldn’t work. I asked about their theme and tried it out and found the problem to be the quotes. Any idea on how to override this OR to fix it permanantly?

Thanks, man – so far your responsiveness has been great!

Seramar
28 August 2007, 8:43 pm
seramar says:

found the fix… it appears that the offense is contained to lang=”html4strict”

To fix it go to the html4strict.php file contained in wp-content/plugins/codesnippet/lib/geshi/html3strict.php

Line 57 will read:

‘QUOTEMARKS’ => array("’", ‘"’),

Delete everything between the parenthesis so it looks like

‘QUOTEMARKS’ => array(),

Should fix your issues.

Thanks anyway – glad if I was of any help!
28 August 2007, 9:02 pm
seramar says:

bah! That is kinda messed up… codesnippet didn’t work right, but anyway you should get the idea. I will also submit the fix to the GeSHi folks and hope they take care of it.

I can’t get this VB code to display properly:

If Request.QueryString(“mi”) “” Then
ddmi.SelectedIndex = ddmi.Items.IndexOf(ddmi.Items.FindByValue(mi))
btnSearchClick() ‘
End If

The (less than) and (greater than) signs always show up as < and > instead of the actual symbols.
5 September 2007, 10:16 am
Mike Saeger says:

My previous comment is confusing. What I should have said is that the (greater than) sign shows up as (ampersand gt and the (less than ) sign shows up as (ampersand lt;)
5 September 2007, 10:18 am
Wyatt says:

If Request.QueryString("mi") <> "" Then
ddmi.SelectedIndex = ddmi.Items.IndexOf(ddmi.Items.FindByValue(mi))
btnSearchClick()
End If

Looks like it works to me. Remember to wrap your code with the [ code ] block (minus the spaces).

Now I will admit that if you copy and past this, it’s probably going to give you some weird “quote” signs because of how the GeSHi engine works. If you have a complaint about that, you’ll need to take it up with them

6 September 2007, 6:46 am
Mike Saeger says:

I even turned off the Visual Editor in my Profile and as soon as I hit SAVE, or SAVE and Continue the < > signs disappear. It must be in the version of WordpressMU I’m running (wordpress-mu-1.1.1). If I use the Visual Editor then the < > are replaced by their ampersand lt/gt semicolon html names.
6 September 2007, 10:49 am
Wyatt says:

Natrium makes a very valid point. I never used the Advanced/Visual editors to write code blocks, generally because they caused more headache than anything.

Mike, are you sure you are wrapping things in the
[code lang="vb"][/code] tags? If you aren’t, I know even the raw/standard editor in WordPress will remove <>. I think that it looks like an unclosed tag to WordPress.

I’ll see what I can do to get &gt and &lt found in the parsing.

Hi,
Excellent plugin, and thanks for keeping it running.
I think I’ve found a bit of an “undocumented feature”.
My problem was that putting code into comments didn’t load the .css file.
I’m not a php wizz, but I think it may be because of the pageHasCode test in codePresentInPosts().
So if there’s no code in the original post, CodeSnippet won’t detect it in the related comments.
Nothing I can’t work around, but it would be useful if you could confirm.

Thanks — Andy
5 December 2007, 8:43 am
Wyatt says:

Hi Andy,

You’re right, CodeSnippet will not highlight code in comments if there isn’t a previous [code] block in the post. I don't have a quick workaround for this other than putting in a blank [code] block for people that don't want to touch the code; however, that looks absolutely stupid. I'm not sure what impact pushing everything through the filter; however, I'll take a look at it.
10 December 2007, 11:33 pm
Wyatt says:

Rob mentioned he was having an issue with the following block of code. It seems to be a problem with the GeSHi ‘html’ parser. My recommendation is to use the ‘php’ one instead as it seems to catch the flakeyness.

HTML Version:

<style type=”text/css”> table.adiflmw { width: 396px; height: 250px; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none none none none; border-color: white white white white; background-color: white; } table.adiflmw td { border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border-style: none none none none; border-color: white white white white; background-color: white; -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } a:link, a:active, a:visited { color:#ffffff; } </style> <table class=”adiflmw”> <tr> <td valign=”top” align=”left”> <span> <a href=”http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/” id=”adiCt1″ rel="nofollow"><img src=”http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/adiflm396×38.jpg” border = “none” /></a><br /><object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowScriptAccess=”never” allowNetworking=”internal” height=”130 name=” width=”396″ align=”middle” data=”http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/Clock02.swf?spURL=http://http://www.justgiving.com/gorillarob&getCountDownLink=http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/”> <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”never” /> <param name=”allowNetworking” value=”internal” /> <param name=”movie” value=”http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/Clock02.swf?spURL=http://http://www.justgiving.com/gorillarob&getCountDownLink=http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/” /> <param name=”quality” value=”high” /> <param name=”wmode” value=”opaque” /> <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff” /> </object> <br /> <a href=”http://http://www.justgiving.com/gorillarob” id=”adiCt2″ rel="nofollow"><img src=”http://adidaswidgets.glueserv.co.uk/v9/adiflm396×82.jpg” border = “none” /></a> </span> </td> </tr> </table>

PHP Version with some cleanups:

table.adiflmw { width: 396px; height: 250px; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none none none none; border-color: white white white white; background-color: white; }

I think it has to do with the weird characters that are being used … probably a GeSHi bug since the regex is matching it on my end.

> However, does the plugin provide indenting feature?

Unfortunately, it does not. I have the plan to read from a file on
the back burner, but it hasn’t been implemented in anything less than
my local SVN copy.

> Also, I found that the plugin doesn’t work for php…

<?php

echo "this is a PHP test.";

$tmp = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 25; $i++) {
$tmp["myspot" . $i] = $i;
}
?>

#test some invalid php code
<?php
[?php & ?] ; //this should be invalid php code
//intentionally don’t close the bracket

Looks like it works here and I haven’t noticed any issues with
wordpress 2.0.2, but I’d recommend upgrading just for the security
fixes.

The problem seems to be with the rich-text editor in WordPress. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about the internals of the rich-text editor to patch the code to handle it. My only recommendation is to use the basic editor for now. I’ll see what I can do to fix it, but I think trying to keep up with WordPress’s changes to their rich-editor is probably going to be more involved. Again, the applicable test:

If Request.QueryString("mi") <> "" Then
ddmi.SelectedIndex = ddmi.Items.IndexOf(ddmi.Items.FindByValue(mi))
btnSearchClick()
End If

Just upgraded this site to WP 2.8.1 and it appears to be working. I did have an issue with the redirection plugin though. If you can provide me more details on what you’re having a problem with, I’d be happy to try and fix it.

Ana Flavia says:

Hi Wyatt.
My problem is in the panel of control. After I updated for WP 2.8.1, the panel of control shows a message saying that I have not sufficient permissions to access the page. In my blog it works correctly, but I only would like to change the CSS. Here the print of the page when I try to access: http://i28.tinypic.com/slqpeq.jpg
Thank you very much! ^^
19 July 2009, 9:05 am
Wyatt says:

Hmm, it appears to be a bug with the way that WordPress is accessing the plugin configuration pages. I’ll see what I can do to fix that.

2 August 2009, 7:56 pm
Wyatt says:

Biia,

I’ve updated the plugin. The current release on the WP should be 2.1.5 which should address you issue. The previous versions of 2.1.x should work correctly; however, they didn’t have the version number updated to reflect the actual version installed so attempting to update these through WP would probably fail. If you need a direct link, try this: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/codesnippet-20.2.1.5.zip
2 August 2009, 11:51 pm
Wyatt says:

Biia, you might want to give that link a few. Looks like the WP extend site is taking longer to update than normal.

Hi Wyatt,
I update my WP for the new version 2.8.3
Now it’s working perfectly!
Sorry for the duplicated comment =D
Thanks!

Kare says:

Hi, and thanks for an excellent plug-in.
But when I tried to install it from within WordPress 2.8.3 it didn’t activate or show up in the plugins list and when trying to install it again it told me that it was already installed. It had installed a folder called “codesnippet-20″ containing another folder called “codesnippet” in the plugins folder. When I removed those folders, downloaded the zip file directly and copied the “codesnippet” (not “codesnippet-20″) folder into the plug-ins folder of WordPress it worked perfectly. Maybe there is some bug in the installation procedure?
6 August 2009, 12:33 pm
Wyatt says:

Make sure you download the 2.1.5 version from Wordpress.org. I’ve not had any issues with this version.

Hi,
The plugin works nicely, thanks. Is there an easy way to insert tabs, so the code in formatted nicely?
TIA
29 August 2009, 1:03 am
Wyatt says:

I’ve toyed with the idea of inserting tabs/spaces into the code; however, the GeSHi engine only does highlighting and not code-formatting or beautification. I’ve found that if you copy and paste your code, with tabs and spaces, it seems to lay out in the same fashion on the screen. If that’s not working, let me know and I’ll get on fixing it
29 August 2009, 9:02 am
Josh says:

I’ve got this up and running and it seems to be working great so thanks for keeping this thing alive. I would also be interested in the ability to indent code etc. I’ve tried copying preformatted code but it doesn’t maintain it once I paste it into the post.

thanks agai.

Hi! I’ve WP 2.8.4 and codesnippet doesn’t work. Even when I move plugins/codesnippet-20/codesnippet/ to plugins/codesnippet/ I can’t see any entry in “Manage Plugins” option in the administrative interface.
Neither the posts show higlighted code.
12 September 2009, 11:17 am
Wyatt says:

I’ve not upgraded to WP 2.8.4 yet; however, I will do it this weekend and see if I can figure out what the problem is. Code snippet should exist in the /wp-content/plugins/codesnippet directory. A couple of quick thinks to check are:
- Your permissions on the directory are correct. Even if the plugin doesn’t work, you should be able to see it as an option in the manage plugins page. If you’re not seeing it there, you’ve probably got a permission problem or something similar
- If you do see the plugin in the management page, make sure that it is enabled and doesn’t throw any errors. If it throws and error, email it to me so I can see what’s going on.

Quantum says:

I had an attempt at looking at the plugin as I to had discovered its not working. Trying to do a clean install via the plugins page said something about the plugin not having a valid header. In addition the readme.txt needs a little tweak to pass the validator (see: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/validator/)
20 September 2009, 11:10 am
Wyatt says:

@Quantum, If you’re having issues with the plugin, please drop me an email with the specifics of what’s breaking. I’ve been running the current 2.1.5 version without issue. I’ll update the readme.txt to pass the validator in the next release since the only parts that are failing are screenshots (which I don’t have any) and the change log (which will replace the version history section).

Again, let me know what problems you’re having so we can get you fixed up.

Thanks,

Wyatt

Hi

I have the same problem as @Quantum. I added the plugin via the internal dashboard plugin install (Plugins / Add New) and at the end it said something like “The plug in does not have a valid header”. I cannot re-install (it says I already have it) and cannot use it (does not appear in the list of installed plug ins.

WP 2.8.4 here.

thanks for this plugin. I’m using it for the first time but I have a problem with the output formatting of python code.
I’ve written:

def __init__(self):
print "hello"

and I get:

1.
def __init__(self):
2.
print “hello”

How to avoid line numbers from showing? At least not in this way…

thanks!

Under the Settings -> Code Highlighting, you can tune the CSS that is used to display code. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but if you’re still having problems, drop me an email at

print "%s@%s%s" % ("wyatt", "hackerfor", "hire.org")
