Online Editor multiple line break support

Sunday 20 June 2004 11:47:50 pm

It says in the release notes for Online Editor 1.3.1 that it now supports multiple line breaks. In the accompanying doc, it says in the tips to use shift-enter to insert a line break.

I'm using eZPublish 3.4.0 and Online Editor 1.3.2, and cannot seem to get multpiple line breaks to display correctly. They seem to be removed on publishing the same as in previous versions. Any ideas?

Hi,

If you comment line 367 in ezdhtml/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezdhtmlxmlinput.php like following:

// $domString = preg_replace( "#<paragraph>&nbsp;</paragraph>#", "<paragraph />", $domString );

and uncomment line 370 in the same file:

$domString = preg_replace( "#<paragraph>&nbsp;</paragraph>#", "<paragraph />", $domString );

then you should get multiple empty paragraphs ( use enter not shift-enter since it will only create one single line break)

Best regards,

I never was succesful in getting this to work, after making Wenyue's suggested changes Online Editor then holds the line break information okay, but it seems that the parser still strips out the multiple breaks before presenting the article.

Also Wenyue when your suggestion is implemented it also has the side effect of leaving a <p> tag in a content area (body) for example if the user has typed there but then deleted. This has the effect that articles will sense body content and link to full view even though there is none. The body area is then impossible to clear unless you disable the editor.

Any further advice on getting return breaks anyone?
