Color Coding in BlogCFC with ColdFish

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, '&lt;', '<', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '&gt;', '>', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '&amp;', '&', 'all')>
<cfset codeportion= replace(codeportion, '&quot;', '"', 'all')>
