Jason Delmore created ColdFish to color code any file content or string. Its wickidly easy to implement.
To add it to your blog you simply need to modify a couple files.
1) Application.cfm - this is optional, but a good idea I think. Just after the cfset for application.blog add:
<cfset application.coldfish = createObject("component","org.delmore.coldfish").init()/>
2) in Blog.cfc (typically org/camden/blog/blog.cfc) line 2085 ish:
<cfset result = "<div class=""#style#"">" & application.coldfish.formatString(codeportion) & "</div>"/>
For item 2 I had to add a bit more as I use FCK editor and as such the html was changed a bit when saved to the DB. I also dont't use <code></code> but rather directly applied a class to my html with <div class="code"></div> instead. So I needed to reformat my content a bit for coldFish to format.
So I added:
<!--- line 2072 ish to replace the divs with code tags --->
<cfset arguments.string = replacenocase(arguments.string, '<div class="code">','<code>', 'ALL')>
<cfset arguments.string = replacenocase(arguments.string, '</div>','</code>', 'ALL')>
<!--- line 2085ish just above my item 2 above to set the html as coldFish wants it and remove formating breaks --->
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<br />', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<p>', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '</p>', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<', '<', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '>', '>', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '&', '&', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '"', '"', 'all')>
<cfset arguments.string = replacenocase(arguments.string, '<div class="code">','<code>', 'ALL')>
<cfset arguments.string = replacenocase(arguments.string, '</div>','</code>', 'ALL')>
<!--- line 2085ish just above my item 2 above to set the html as coldFish wants it and remove formating breaks --->
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<br />', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<p>', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '</p>', '', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '<', '<', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '>', '>', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '&', '&', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '"', '"', 'all')>
