Highlight .tpl syntax in Eclipse

Question

I've been googling and can't find a solution for this. I'm trying to setup .tpl files to use either HTML syntax highlighting or PHP syntax highlighting. Has anyone does this, or do you know how?

Thanks

Answer 1

• Go to Window -> Preferences-
• Then General -> Editors -> File Associations-
• Add the PHP Editor to the *.tpl file type. You may have to create the *.tpl type if it doesn't already exist.

You may also have to set the content type for your tpl files in Content Types also under the General settings. Scroll down to PHP Source File and make sure *.tpl exists there as well.

Then you need to restart eclipse to make it work.

Answer 2

• Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types
• Select Text -> CSS, click Add, write *.tpl and save.
• Do the step two for Text -> HTML, Javascript and PHP.
