Copee Pastee for ExpressionEngine v1.6.x

A simple Fieldframe Matrix Fieldtype for use with the LG Replace addon.

An example of the Copee Pastee FF Matrix Fieldtype

Copee Pastee is a simple cell type for FF Matrix, which outputs a plain text {whatever-x} within your matrix row, where ‘x’ is the row count, and ‘whatever’ is whatever you want, which makes it easier to create "needles" when using LG Replace with a textarea to insert images, etc.

There is further discussion about this method on the Howto: FF Matrix + LG Replace + LG TinyMCE + imgsizer + LG LiveLook EE forum post. Copee Pastee essentially automates making the LG Replace “needles”.

Here’s an example of how I configured ff_matrix with lg_replace.  Using the {count} tag allow you to generate each replacement needle dynamically.

{blog_image}
  {exp:lg_replace:replacement needle=“image{count}”}
     
  {blog_image_url}
     
{/exp:lg_replace:replacement}
{/blog_image}

Just a heads up, it looks like this addon doesn’t work with FF Matrix 1.5. I got it working fine with 1.3.4, but when I tried it with 1.5 the row numbers weren’t appended.

Other than that, great idea. I’m sure I’ll use it in the future.

Sorry, I meant Matrix 2.0. For some reason I thought that I was using FF Matrix 1.5, but I wasn’t

I have a test version for EE 2.0 here if you’d like to give it a try… If it works ok I’ll backport to EE 1.x

Awesome, thanks for the update.

I can also confirm that this doesn’t appear to work with Matrix 2.0.4. The number isn’t being appended (same problem as Andrew Philpott). Is there a quick fix that you can give me?

I put a test version up for EE 1.x here.

Jim, I found out that it doesn’t work with Matrix 2.0.4 because in the script it’s looking for something named Field Matrix but since Brandon changed the name to just Matrix it wasn’t finding it. It’s an easy thing to fix if you just change the .js file that comes with copee pastee.

Thanks a lot Andrew - I changed all instances of “.ff_matrix” in copee_pastee_functions.js to “.matrix” and it works fine. Just need to remember to clear your browser’s cache to see it working though.

Jim - Did you try the version I posted above? Includes the fix you mentioned and also has double click to copy.

I posted it there as I wanted to have folks test it before I officially released it. If you’re having problems please email me via the contact form, or post in the forum thread.

Hi Iain, I’m afraid I didn’t try it, no. Will do on another project though.
