10== Description ==
11
12WPide is a WordPress code editor with the long term goal of becoming the ultimate environment to code/develop WordPress themes and plugins. You can edit any files in your wp-content, not just plugins and themes. Code completion will help you remember your WordPress/PHP commands providing function reference along the way. Edit multiple concurrent files with the tabbed editor.
13
14Please come forward (either on or the WordPress support forum) with any bugs, annoyances or any improvements you can suggest. I'd like this plugin to be the best it can be and that's only going to happen if users chip in with their feedback. Code contributions welcome, over on .
15
16This plugin would not be possible without the Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor (http://ace.ajax.org/) which is the embedded code editor that powers much of the functionality.
17
18This plugin performs best in the Chrome web browser.

20= Current Features: =
21
22*   Syntax highlighting
23*   Line numbers
24*   Code autocomplete for WordPress and PHP functions along with function description, arguments and return value where applicable
25*   Automatic backup of every file you edit. (one daily backup and one hourly backup of each file stored in plugins/WPide/backups/filepath)
26*   File tree allowing you to access and edit any file in your wp-content folder (plugins, themes, uploads etc)
27*   Create new files and directories
28*   Highlight matching parentheses
29*   Code folding
30*   Auto indentation
31*   Tabbed interface for editing multiple files (editing both plugin and theme files at the same time)
32*   Using the WordPress filesystem API, although currently direct access is forced (edit WPide.php in the constructor to change this behaviour) ftp/ssh connections aren't setup yet, since WP will not remember a password need to work out how that will work. Maybe use modal to request password when you save but be able to click save all and save a batch with that password. Passwords defined in wp-config.php are persistent and would fix this problem but people don't generally add those details. Open to ideas here.
33*   Image editing/drawing (requires Flash -  will move over to HTML5 when there is a decent alternative)
34
35= Feature ideas and improvements: =
36
37*   Improve the code autocomplete command information, providing more information on the commands, adding links through to the WordPress codex and PHP.net website for further info.
38*   Add find and replace functionality
39*   Create an admin panel to choose between syntax highlighting themes and turn on/off other Ajax.org Cloud9 functionality
40*   Better automated file backup process
41*   Templates/shortcuts for frequently used code snippets, maybe even with an interface to accept variables that could be injected into code snippet templates.
42*   Integration with version control systems such as Git

53== Installation ==
54
551. Upload the WPide folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
561. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
571. Access WPide by clicking the WPide menu item in your main administration menu
58
59== Frequently Asked Questions ==
60
61= Can I override the default file permissions when creating files/directories on the local filesystem =
62
63Yes you can using the below WordPress settings in wp-config.php which will effect files created with WPide and files added during the WordPress upgrade process.
64
65define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', (0755 & ~ umask()));
66define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', (0644 & ~ umask()));
67
68= Whenever I try to edit an image the application says that it could not load the image =
69Either the image contains no image data (its a new empty file) or the image is not accessible to the image editor. Your images need to be accessible to the web. i.e. if you're developing a site on your local machine behind a router/firewall your local web server could not be accessible to the web.

147
148Checkout the following WordPress plugin "WP Live CSS Editor" to work out how to do LIVE css editing. Combining a LESS compiler with live CSS editing/compile would be a dream.
