History

RokPad was created to meet the demands of the Team, a tool unrestricted by the limitations of the WYSIWYG editors, and something more advanced than simply using None. RokPad provides an medium for this, a balance between a useful interface and the unrestricted approach of code view. We at RocketTheme proudly build our content with RokPad.

Installation - Joomla 2.5

Downloading the Extension Files

• RokPad Plugin (rokpad.zip) This file is the plugin package you will use to install RokPad into Joomla.

Using the Joomla Installer

From the Menu in your Joomla Administrator, go to Extensions → Extensions Manager → Install.

Next, browse for your rokpad.zip file you downloaded and then click Upload File & Install.

Accessing the Plugins Page

Next, go to Extensions → Plug-in Manager. From the list, find Editor - RokPad and open it to be brought to the RokPad Plugin Manager page, which lists all the available options for the plugin.

Set the RokPad as default Editor

Go to Site → Global Configuration. On the left, find Default Editor and set the dropdown to Editor - RokPad. The same applies to individual users settings.

Multiple cursors / selection

To start using multiple cursors, just hold down CMD on Mac or CTRL on Windows and click anywhere in the document where you want the additional cursor to be placed at.

You can also perform a vertical selection by holding down the OPT/ALT key.

Universal Tag Insertion

The Universal Tag Insertion ([icon]) shortcode is a preset of shortcode that allows to quickly type an open-closed tag (div, p, li, etc...) very fast.

Extended Buttons with Multiple Selection

The Multiple Cursors functionality allows Joomla! Extended Buttons to gain advantage from it, without doing anything. In fact, you just need to have multiple selections and you can, for example, drop a RokCandy Macro mutliple times in one single go!

Advanced Search and Replace

The Search and Search & Replace is increadibly advanced in RokPad. You can find a term whitin a selection, find all the terms in the document, replace, use RegExp and more.

20+ Custom Themes

RokPad provides 20+ themes that you can choose from to customize your code editor view. Are you a fun of dark themes? Not a problem.

Fold/Unfold of Code

Sometimes having to deal with a lot of HTML in the editor, might cause some confusion. With the Folding/Unfolding of Code functionality, you can easily collapse tags and get in the 'distraction free' mode that you need.

Keyboard Shortcuts

If you are used to text editors, you will find the RokPad keyboards shortcut very useful. RokPad features many common keyboard shortcuts, below a list of featured keyboard shortcuts for both MacOSX and Windows/Linux:
