Still no inline URL?

Hi,
I have asked it prviously and no-one knew how to solve it. I am looking for a solution to the 'feature' that every object tag is surrounded with <p> marks.
Is there any way around it? Is there a place in the code that says where this is done??
I am getting quite desperate that the easiest things are the hardest to accomplish in ezP. The rest of the things seem to work quite nicely, only this rendering is tricky because I see no way to override it.

Thanks, Edwin

Hmm, I looked here:

http://www.cleara.com/content/view/full/62/

And what do I see? Inline URL's o other parts of the site. I dive into the source and see:
---
is posted in our <a href="/content/view/full/78" >news</a> section.
---

In other words: they have a solution right there, although I do not know the underlying code.
It might be:
---
<link href="/content/view/full/78">news</link>
---

So that is what I will try now as well and let you know if I get any further with that.

seems to work quite ok - hope it solves all my probs..

Quite silly I didn't try this before.

For the Cleara site, the part you are referring to was a xml datafield attribute that displayed using the standard ez3 templates for that attribute.

I believe there are ways to override the standard ways ez outputs html. Ive not yet tested the following but if you have a look for yourself you may perhaps find what you are looking for within:

~/ez3/design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltages/*

you will see lots of template files such as 'paragraph.tpl' where things like <p>. Either changing entries or putting in overrides (override/templates/content/....) should change the behaviour of your files.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will check it out. I am actually not working on the back end of the site only the front end. I have admin privileges, but every change to templates I have to co-ordinate with a "back end" developer. That makes sure I will not break anything also :-)
