Hi @ados1991 I don’t know if the information here would be of use to you but you should have a read, it just might help.

he is not helpful because he only works for some tags defined(php, asp, eg…) if i can define custom tag for jinja2, its may hepful but for my personal opnion i think we need the new feature for this, but i will continue to search.

thanks

I have heavily embedded PHP in files that are basically template files that gets generated by PHP and populated with content. Pinegrow can’t do much with that and I only see php code. I don’t use Django but for my PHP laden files in the tree view I use the eye icons to turn off those lines in Pinegrow and this leaves the bare template and I then can work on styling and updating the html.

Alternatively you can remove all the Django code in your files by using something like Notepad++ and either go line by line or use regx find replace to remove the Django tags from your page. I like the Pinegrow way better though because I don’t have to remove the code and it just gets ignored. Takes some time to do if you have a lot of tags. All it does is adds a class to your containers or elements which you can remove with find replace and have it done all at once instead of manually turning each disabled element back on.

your solution is good if it is small project but i have big project.

The better way is to create custom like this
var pgScripts = {
’<?php' : { type: 'php', name: 'PHP', close: '?>’ },
’<?=' : { type: 'php', name: 'PHP', close: '?>’ },
’<?' : { type: 'php', name: 'PHP', close: '?>’ },
’{%’ : { type: ‘angular’, name: ‘ANGULAR’, close: ‘%}’ },
’{$’ : { type: ‘django’, name: ‘Django’, close: ‘$}’ },
’<%’ : { type: ‘asp’, name: ‘ASP & ERB’, close: ‘%>’ }
}

in pg-parser.js but i need some documentation code to do this.

I also have this issue (I’m using Pinegrow to design my Flask frontend). Did you have any luck with this?

Where did you find pg-parser.js? That definitely seems like a good place to start, but can’t find it either in my project or in the PineGrow install folder.
