Using "attribute_view_gui" with the 'break' function

Friday 30 January 2004 7:38:59 pm

I'm desparate - I cannot seem to find an example of how to use the 'break' function with "attribute_view_gui". Here's some code:

<p id="story_intro">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.story_intro"}</p>

There are lots of new lines in the entered text when the story was submitted earlier. What code would I use to make these new lines into html break tags (e.g., <br /> )?

Thanks for any help!

There are two ways of showing content:

1) Showing it using the attribute's view template
2) Showing it directly

You're doing number one. What happens there is that eZ publish inserts another template where you call the "attribute_view_gui" function. Instead, you could do something like this:

"$node.object.data_map.story_intro.content"

This will return the string that is stored in that attribute. Now, you could simply pipe that string into whatever operator you want. See? (PS: If story_intro is XML text then you would have to do append a ".content.output.output_text" to the attribute. If story_intro is only text/text-line then .content is enough.)
