Preferably open source.
Somethimg that can open a XML file and slow the elements to be edited but without the danger of a txt editor where clumsy people can edit a tag ruining the file.
i use notepad++, doesn't stop tag editing but its syntax highlighting is good and it will check and highlight errors.
Was goign to suggest Notepad++ but for the protecting parts of it section, I'd be looking at pairing it with something to do differential stuff to keep a record of what the changes were - or useful answer why are you letting clumsy people near stuff that you don't want changed? Can you not find a better way to expose the bits you want to be editable?
I want a quick solution for people on site to be able to edit the config files. It more about limiting the potential for errors rather than eliminating. I could write a config tool but thought there must be something like this already in existence... Plus time is a issue.
Firstobject Foxe can be useful. You can set it to just show the 'tree view', maybe less likely to mes things up than the full text.
Some good ideas. I will now have to fight it to get them downloaded to test.
If not I will have to write something.
If not I will have to write something.
Probably best just to write something then you can sense check what they enter as well. It isn't just a case of messing the tags, they could also enter something that breaks something
