Hello,

I'd like to add a copy-to-clipboard button in my blog posts that include code snippets.

Is there a simple way to do it with JCE?

Thanks

No there isn't currently a simple way to do this, but I am adding the option to the CodeSample plugin - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/plugins/editor/code-sample

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Thanks for the reply! Great! Do you mean you'll add it in a future version of CodeSample?

Ryan

Yes I have started adding it already, it is a plugin of the Prism library which Code Sample uses - https://prismjs.com/plugins/copy-to-clipboard

Might have a beta available for testing next week.

Hello, any news on this development? Looking forward to beta-test it!

Initial work on this has provided mixed results, mainly due to the styling of the Copy button, which is unattractive and difficult to override.

I am continuing to work on it, and will post an update when I have reasonable solution.
