Thanks to Joomler for developed the SyntaxHighlighter plugin for Joomla. This is a Content type plugin. So it can only work for Joomla articles.

If I want to display some code in other components, such as in the File Description of download components, then SyntaxHighlighter plugin can't work.

So, I think it is better to change SyntaxHighlighter plugin type to System, then it can take effect for whole Joomla site.

BTW, I noticed that the SyntaxHighlighter had released a new version v2.1.364 on October 15, 2009, please update the SyntaxHighlighter plugin for Joomla with this new core.

Thanks.

I think that everything can correspond if this plugin is a plugin of the system.
However, because the system should analyze a lot of texts, I think that it is not necessarily good.

For instance, it is possible to correspond to this plug-in by the thing written like the following codes.

$dispatcher	=& JDispatcher::getInstance();
JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');
$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContent', array (& $item, & $item->params, 0));

At this time, the code should be in $item->text.

I am not a programmer, so please forgive me if I say something wrong.

Is it possible to limit this plugin to only take effect on those content added by the user, if you worried about System type plugin will cause some error?

If it is impossible to make this plugin as a System type, then, how can I apply the effect (syntax highlighting) of this plugin to those code I inserted in the "file description" of the download component, such as Remository or jDownloads, etc. ?

Thanks.

You are not wrong in anything.
It is only thought that it is the best that I am not so.
Therefore, I think that you should request the author of the extension that it is the display to correspond to the content plug-in.

Thanks

I post here because the author filed in the XML file of that SyntaxHighlighter plugin is:

<author>Joomler!.net</author>

Is that not you?

BTW, I had manually copied the latest SyntaxHighlighter script into the plugin folder and it seems fine.

Thanks for your great software.
