http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ - it highlights stuff - I know it's used in searches to highlight the terms that you searched for, maybe used in other ways too.

I've turned on the Geshi bot, but when I do searches, I get no highlighting.
How does one turn this ON?

Thanks for your advice

It is an attempt to format source code when placed in an article - I guess.
It cropped up in a conversation the other day - but it appears far more basic than what is promised on the site referenced above.
Not sure if this is a port of that code, or just something named similarly out of respect!
Perhaps it can be extended or configured to do a better job?

I know what it is in 'concept' and what it's supposed to do.
Search hit highlighting has been around for a while.

My question, better put is this:

There is a mambot in Joomla called Geshi.
I have turned it on.
I search for the word 'joomla' in my site, and while it finds many results, none of the clicked results details highlights the word 'joomla'

So what's the next step please?
Do I update my template code.
Is there a hack?

What exactly has to happen next?
Thanks

I think you've misunderstood the function of Geshi Mambot.
Geshi mambot is used to display colored syntac in article. (whatever syntac, be it c++, css or php)
Suppose you want to put an article about flash actionscript:
You can put:

var $test;
for ($test =1; $test = 20; $testi++){
gotoandplay{$i);
}


And the result would be:

var $test;
for ($i =1; $i = 20; $i++){
gotoandplay{$i);
}

Correct me if I am wrong?  :)

Oh wow, so maybe I totally misunderstood.
I thought that this same method would be used to do hit hghlighting.

So let me ask you this.
In the search box at the top right of this page put in 'geshi' and hit the SEARCH button
You get a bunch of highlighted 'geshi' words in the search results.

Is that a function of this forum, and not of the rest of Joomla?
How is it done? Maybe only in SMF then.

From the Joomla help files:


GeSHi:

This displays formatted code in content items based on the GeSHi highlighting engine.

This is to be considered as an enhanced version of mosCode, allowing the rendering of many different programming languages with color-highlighted code by specifying the to-be-used language.

Usage: Use the "pre" tag and add the programming language you want to use for highlighting purposes as a parameter. Example:

your code here ...

The mambot version of the GeSHi highlight code comes with the following highlighters for the most common renders installed, ready to be used:
  • CSS => use lang="css"
  • Html4 Strict => use lang="html4strict"
  • JavaScript => use lang="javascript"
  • PHP => use lang="php"
  • PHP Brief => use lang="php-brief"
  • SQL => use lang="sql"
  • XML => use lang="xml"
Should you need additonal languages, you may download the full package from the developer site: http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ which includes over 30 languages. You should then upload the required "newLanguage.php" from the package into your "\mambots\content\geshi\geshi" folder.

NOTE:  As of 4.5.2.1, this bot seems to have an incompatibility with the Email cloaking mambot.

Does this not work with editors like JCE?
