Markus Birth	Thursday 23 June 2011 3:10:00 am Hi, there, I'm thinking about building a CoffeeScript-extension which should allow you to add CoffeeScript in templates between {coffee}…{/coffee} tags. While compiling the template, the CoffeeScript should also be compiled to JavaScript and stored as JavaScript in the compiled template. I looked around the eztemplate classes but found no real starting point. (Are there .ini-settings needed? Autoloads? etc.) Any hints? Cheers, -mARKUS

If you survive to tell the tale we'll buy you a cookie :) But! Template-blocks are hardcoded into the parsers, so it is AFAIK not something you can extend from extensions. So if I where you I would try to go another route on this one, at least until we have changed our template engine to something else. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
