I am always keeping an eye out for useful MODx resources to share. I recently installed the EditArea Plugin on our Pleth site and at first glance have been happy with the results.
If you are not familiar with EditArea it is:
a free javascript editor for source code. It allows you to write well formatted source code with line number rotation, tab support, search & replace and live syntax highlighting.
Once installed it allows you to toggle EditArea with the normal text editor in MODx. When I am dealing with large pages of content I often find it is easier to copy the code into an external text editor (Notepad++), make my changes and then paste it back into the content area. It should definitely prove to be handy as a development tool since it’s additional features make working in your content code a little bit easier and faster (no external pasting). It is also worth noting that the creators of the plugin have put together a really simple installer:
The installer is a multilingual derivitive of the new MODx Evolution installer and drastically simplifies the Installation/Upgrade process.
The plugin is great. I installed it on every server with a MODx installation. If the plugin's functionality is not enough, you should have a look at the Firefox add-on “It's All Text”: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/4125 With one click the plugin copies and pastes the text of any form field into the editor application of yout choice. As soon as you save the document, the form field content is updated, too.
