I would like to write my articles in source code mode instead of WYSIWYG. But how to do that? Maybe you answer me "use HTML button in editor", but when I do that, my code is changed after loading to WYSIWYG - for example all national symbols (like "ô","ä","č","ľ" etc.) are changed to entities ("aa;culate;" etc.), and some tags then don't work properly...

Can you help me! Many thanks

In your page class, you will need to remove the HTMLEditorField and add a TextAreaField.

class Page {
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextareaField('Content'));
}
}

See http://doc.silverstripe.com/assets/classes/default/TextAreaField.html for more information on what you can do with the TextareaField.

You should be aware that this will insert whatever you type into the TextareaField straight into your template, without validation. It's fine if you know what you're doing, but if you're handing this over to a non-technical author you'll want to make sure they use the draft site tool! :-)

Hi Sam,

Thanks for this! Disabling the WYSIWYG can be quite nice. :)

As per development-guidelines:removefieldfromtab, this line is needed at the end of the getCMSFields() function:

return $fields;

Otherwise you will get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function push() on a non-object in /sites/test.silverstripe.com/elofgren/cms/code/CMSMain.php on line 268

Took me a few minutes to figure out why. ;)

New bbcode is nice! :)

Good night,

Elijah

Elijah: Usability applies to programmers, too!

Do you perhaps want to add a check to CMSMain, where it calls getCMSFields(). If $fields returns null, have an error along the lines of

"getCMSFields returned null on a 'Page' object - it should return a FieldSet object. Perhaps you forgot to put a return statement at the end of your method?"

Thanks Sam! :)

Display a useful error message if getCMSFields() returns null. Thanks Sam: http://www.silverstripe.com/general-discussion/flat/1537?showPost=2042#post2042
