Introduction

Core Enhancements

Sourcerer - place any code anywhere.

Sourcerer enables you to place PHP and any kind of HTML style code (including CSS and JavaScript) right in to your content! Not only in your articles, but also in sections, categories, modules, components, META tags, etc.

You can now just place your original codes right into your WYSIWYG editor. The only thing you have to do is surround the code with the Sourcerer tags. Easy peasy!

So now you can also use PHP scripts in your content. That opens up a great deal of possibilities.

Most Joomla! Text Editors will strip parts of your HTML code, like JavaScripts (think of statistics scripts) and movie embed tags. With Sourcerer you won't have these limitations.

Easy to use editor button
Sourcerer comes with a very easy to use editor button. This will help you paste your code in a clean format that will not cause any problems. Also it comes with syntax coloring (php, js, css, html).

Great tool



Posted on 06 November 2024
Functionality
Has everything I need, especially PHP and JavaScript.
I only need it in the article, but it works in other places too
Ease of use

It's really easy.
Support
I didn't need the support and unfortunately can't say much about it.
Documentation
The documentation was clear, understandable and sufficient for me.
I used this to: I used the plugin to insert PHP code into the articles for calculations and DB access and to display the results.

not working with include script JS or weglot



Posted on 07 March 2024
Functionality
i needed to test the JS weglot integration translation plugin which a JS code to insert .
But the first include SCRIPTJS is not working
Ease of use
i read the doc, it is pretty easy to use as a developer/coder that i am.
Documentation
The documenation is well good, easy for a developer/coder people.
I used this to: I needed to install & test a translation service which can be activated by adding a JS code. One include line, and on script.
Sadly, the first inluclude line script is impossible with Sourcerer.
Owner's reply: Not sure what this is about. This is probably down to the javascript itself you are trying to place, and not down to Sourcerer.
But you have not asked for any support or reported this as bug. So I don't know.

Awesome
