Hi

I have seen that in setup/Review Options, we have the convert_br_tags option

I would like the same option for the description field of my links. Is it possible? how to do it?

Thanks

Yikes, the URL in your post leads straight to your unprotected admin page.

I hope you don't mind but I password protected it for you. I need to tell you the usename/password but I don't have a way of contacting you.

thanks paul...

I made a big mistake in putting that link...;)

do you have the solution to convert the <br> tags in the description fied?

You'd need a global....

What do you want to substitute the br's with?

sub {
my $tags = shift;
$tags->{Description} =~ s/<br>/some_value/sg;
return $tags;
}

thanks for the answer..

maybe my question was not very well asked...

when a user types in the descirption field without html and when he wants to have a line break, he just types [enter] twice.

But after I have build the links, there is no line break...so it is not very easy to read (especialy when the description is very long).

All I want is to see the line breaks he has done when he did fill the description field

Thanks

Ah, you'd need something like this:

sub {
my $tags = shift;
$tags->{Description} =~ s/\n/<br>/sg;
return $tags;
}

....or you can create a new tag and use that instead like:

sub {
my $tags = shift;
$tags->{neat_description} =~ s/\n/<br>/sg;
return $tags;
}

Thanks it works great....

I did use

sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $Description = $tags->{Description};
$Description =~ s/\n/<BR>\n/g;
return $Description;
}

Last question, I would like the first letter of the description to be replaced with an nice image letter gif.

An exemple of what I want to do (on a cold fusion website) : http://www.agetresorerie.com/...s/lire.cfm?idxdos=39

Is it the same kind of global I used to get the line breaks? Is it possible to have only one global making all the stuff : (to get the line breaks and to replace the first letter)?

thanks again...

FMP

Try adding....

$Description =~ s,^([a-z]),<img src="/images/\L$1.gif">,i;

...just before:

return $Description;

...then name your images a.gif b.gif etc.

For more details on this, see:

which has a link to a detailed thread in the forum about this.
