hi,André . I have the same problem ,and can't solve it too.the old custom tag XML source is like this:

<paragraph>
<custom name="cadreBlancOmbrePorte">
<paragraph>
<strong>INSCRIPTIONS EN LIGNE POSSIBLE</strong>
</paragraph>
</custom>
</paragraph>

and when i just modified it directly in the database like this:

<paragraph xmlns:tmp="http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/temporary/">
<custom name="cadreBlancOmbrePorte" custom:type="custom">
<paragraph>&amp;nbsp;
<strong>INSCRIPTIONS EN LIGNE POSSIBLE</strong>
&amp;nbsp;
</paragraph>
</custom>
</paragraph>

then the content of custom tag can be display in the page.but sometimes if the structure of the custom tag is very intricacy。 it may not works. do you know how ezoe3 handle custom tag and store into database ? and what about ezoe4?

Hi,

Is this thread still alive?

I have the same problem with a huge website that we have upgraded from 3.8.4 to 4.3.

Some of the content is not shown in the upgraded website. When tracking the problem, I found out that attribute_view_gui on xml-datatypes doesnt return anything at all.

Going further into the kernel, I have tracked the problem to kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/ezxmltextoutputhandler.php and the function &outputText.

The function do get hold of the xml-data ($this->XMLData ), but when returning the output, it is set to noting ('')

I can see that there is a LOT of references to ez publish 3 temporary namespaces in the erroneous contentobjects. Like this:

<line xmlns:tmp="http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/temporary/">

Such lines do not occur in content objects that are working. I am guessing that some kind of processing is meant to occur when processing this data. But something must go really wrong there...

André - you use to be able to provide really helpful information about problems like this. I am hoping for you to reply and give me some directions on where to find the source of this problem.

Cheers,

André:

If we should meet - remind me that I should buy you a beer, or two! :-)

You pointed out exactly the right solution to our problem. Thanks!

I applied the patch for issue nr.016814 to our 4.3 website and the content appeared instantly - like magic.

However -one small thing remains to be handled. When republishing content, the system appear to add extra spaces in front of lines, in this manner:

&nbsp<b>This is some bold text</b>
  &nbspThis is some more text.

The non-breaking-space-character in the beginning of the lines were not there before.

Please note that this only occurs after publishing the content. If I dont touch it, it stays as it was before the upgrade to 4.3.

Maybe its the same problem as mentioned here?

Thanks again, André. Your help is really appreciated!
