Breaks in body_html

hildebruns · 2022-03-31 07:50:55

Hi,

I have “Leave text untouched” in the publish settings. Now when I save an article, <br> are automatically displayed. In the database, I saw that there are <br> elements in the “body_html” field. It shouldn’t be like that, should it? TXP 4.8.7

Do i understand correctly, you see some <br> displayed when viewing the article from the public side? That should not happen with the setting you mention, unless you inserted them manually.

Does turning ‘ON’ debug mode (Preferences > Site) reveals anything?
Do you happen to use plugins that might interact with the content of the <textarea /> on the Write tab?

I had a similar but opposite problem recently in the textile enabled excerpt field where textile was not recognised and I had to use html tags to produce the result.

This did not work

_Sublime/Internal/Subliminal_

neither did this

_Sublime&#47;Internal&#47;Subliminal_

but this did

<em>Sublime&#47;Internal&#47;Subliminal</em>

php v7.4.25
txp v4.8.8

Colak –

That is odd too. And it works perfectly fine here.
PHP 8 and 8.1 with Textpattern 4.8.8.

Yes, a <br> will be inserted automatically. I assume this is normal for the “Convert line breaks” setting. But with “leave text untouched” it should remain empty.

No, same problem.

Yes, but I disabled the plugin and it’s the same problem.

I have updated Textpattern to Version 4.8.8., PHP Version 7.0.33

Just checking, but I presume the formatting for the article in question hasn’t been overridden to Convert line breaks?

I tested it on the online demo and couldn’t make it happen. I wondered if the formatting in body_html was left over from an earlier article setting, but from testing it does seem that saving with Leave text untouched also resets Body_html:

To test that on the online demo (4.8.8) site I added:

<txp:php>
global $thisarticle;
$Body=safe_field("Body_html", 'textpattern', "`ID`= ". $thisarticle['thisid']);
echo '<pre><code>' . htmlspecialchars($Body) . '</code></pre>';
</txp:php>

after <txp:body /> in the Default form, and then tried two articles with Leave text untouched and Convert line breaks and then tried switching back between them. The output of Body_html is overwritten.

Yes, but I disabled the plugin and it’s the same problem.

Did you save the article again after disabling the plugin (eventually after changing something, however minimal)? That would I think, rewrite body_html in the DB.

FWIW, <txp:body escape /> should produce the same (up to parsing) result.

Now I have the solution. I had set the “Leave text untouched” setting after writing articles. At the same time I had hidden the format setting in the article. So I still had the old format setting in the existing articles. Many thanks for the help!

OMG – Thank you for solving a completely different problem for me.

I’ve been having an extra <BR> on each paragraph in my articles for years, after I upgraded hak_tinymce. I eventually decided to just live with it.

Now that I changed the setting to “Leave text untouched” on Prefs, all is good now.
