Tidy output extension?
Tidy output extension?
Wednesday 31 January 2007 12:02:40 am - 48 replies
I was wondering if there is already or anyone would be interested in an extension that took all of the potentially messy html outputted by eZ and tidy'ed it up (probably using the tidy engine). If there is not one already out there, I thought I'd try my hand at creating it. Let me know your thoughts.
In case you're not familiar with Tidy... http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

Ok. It's finally in pubsvn (http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/extension/eztidy/ ). I did not put any comments in the code, which I plan to do, but it should be pretty self-explanatory. Let me know what you think.
I think putting the tidy path into a settings file would be good and maybe a switch for the user to either select the tidy method (php functions or executable) or have it choose automatically like it does now. The tidy.ini file is a tidy config file which both the cli and the php function can accept, so I would think we'd want to keep it in that format.

Well done Andrew! I added a reference to your operator on http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/template_language_for_php_developers

Hello
How can I use the operator?
I tried
{$module_result.content|eztidy}
I ended up with empty page. Then I tried the following and the page is shown but the code is not tidyed.
{$module_result.content|tidy('string')}
{$module_result.content|tidy()}
{$module_result.content|tidy}

Thank you Andrew.
I have updated the example usage in eZpedia documentation,

Then the next step would be to see if your php has the tidy functions. Go to Setup -> System Information in your eZ admin and see if "tidy" is listed in the PHP, Extensions section.
If it's not there, then eztidy will try to use a tidy binary. There is a $tidy_path variable in eztidy/autoloads/eztidy.php that holds the path to the tidy executable. Make sure that path is correct.
