hi scott,

no. i´m not hard-coding anything into core due to the update-stuff. currently i´m trying to preg_replace the whole stuff. my only problem is, that i don´t know how to bring < and > into preg_replace… (have the same problem at the menu too). i´m no php-genius. i´m normally just doing graphic and css-stuff. so: sry for all my questions. i´m trying to solve as many as possible myself, but < and > is just too much into detail. maybe you can lend a helping hand.

ps. i think i pushed the other thread much too far into a visual editor discussion, so i think this should stay here for doc purpose.

The <br /> fix will be released along with 1.7.9.

I’m using version 1.8.1 and the problem still seems to be there, I’ve got <br> tags all over the place and hardly any of my content will validate as xhtml. What can be done?

[logikal16Member]

Re-download nicEdit (http://nicedit.com/download.php) with the nicXHTML component compiled into it.

[onwardonwardMember]

Thanks, I didn’t know that was there. However since I installed that the menu bar on the editor doesn’t work. I noticed there was a link to iconPath in the js file but even when I put the gif file in the correct place the menu bar still doesn’t seem to want to work … I will investigate.

hi,

i just took a look at my db and found the visual editor adding <br> at the end of every text i add (without hitting [enter] at the end of the text. that´s not appreciated and maybe could be avoided through a filter, but there´s a second problem: xhtml must have closed tags: <br /> instead of <br>.

I have tried following all of the advice in this post and in http://pods.uproot.us/forums/general-discussion/222

Could someone please post a decent pre-save helper for removing all instances of "<br>" before the content is saved to the database?

I too have tried everything mentioned in all threads related to invalid xhtml generated via nicEdit, with NO LUCK AT ALL!
As holding your breath for a pods release employing tinyMCE is likely to make you blue… I have opted for the following work around.
1. add the following to functions.php in your theme
<pre>
function tidyNicEdit($html)
{ $config = array(
‘clean’=> true,
‘drop-proprietary-attributes’ => true,
‘output-xhtml’ => true,
‘show-body-only’=>true,
‘word-2000′ => true,
‘wrap’ => ’0′
);
$tidy = new tidy();
$tidy->parseString($html, $config, ‘utf8′);
$tidy->cleanRepair();
return tidy_get_output($tidy);
}
</pre>
2. call your desc fields as follows:
<pre>
$description = tidyNicEdit($my_pod->get_field(‘description’));
</pre>

…and that seems to do the trick.

Hello everyone,

I’m using Pods 1.9.1 and it’s still the case of broken

PHP

&lt;br&gt;

tags. Seems like people recommending to switch to TinyMCE editor, but I can’t find any instructions how to do that. Would really appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.

Thank you

I just came across this Input Helper "TinyMCE for Paragraph Text" by jonathandchr. It worked like a charm for me all html is clean. Hope this helps someone too.
