There isn't a checkbox option to disable XOOPS line breaks in AMS when using a wysiwyg editor and I'm getting line breaks in all the wrong places.

I tried the this code hack in the XK_Editor (Koivi) module comments but that doesn't seem to work either.

Is there a fix?

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I was asking about html at ITHQ a few days back, as I was getting blank lines for each HTML tag, unfortunately I was told that it's not really the job of the modules:

This answer was in relation to a question about HTML not appearing properly in AMS but fine in Articles, articles does offer more support for HTML in that you can tick a box so that the module ignores the lines that HTML tags are on, AND you can tick a box to remove blank lines. this combination seems to be the best I have seen in any articles module.

However for me, at the time I felt that AMS could offer a bit more in other areas of the module (but perhaps I was mistaken as the latest version of articles has improved on the version I was using)
Anyway I had already decided to go with AMS by that point and have rewritten my articles so that they are better suited to AMS.

AMS is a great module, but if you can't be bothered rewriting articles to get rid of blank lines etc then I would recommend the articles module from sirium.net.

To be honest, It is my opinion that the best module would be a combination of both, at the very least if your a programmer you could maybe rip the functions from the articles module that deal with line breaks and html and modify AMS to be a 'super' module.

I don't have such skills though which is why I ended up rewriting (Or at least editing) my existing articles.

Sorry, to clarify that:

In Firefox there's a problem if there's a line break in the text (e.g. cut-n-pasted). It may not show in wysiwyg mode, but in HTML view if there's a line break, it is preserved and carried through to the article on saving.

If I edit the same file in Internet Explorer, Koivi removes the breaks and saves the file properly. That particular problem looks like a Koivi + Firefox issue, not an AMS one.

However, pressing 'Enter' twice (to create a para break in Koivi) results in 4 < br > tags in the code, even in IE, so something is wrong.

Hi dickinsd.

In 'News' and 'SmartSection' there's a checkbox to disable XOOPS linebreaks if you are using an HTML editor. If you forget to check it, you get the same problem.

I just wondered why that wasn't in AMS?.

Got another problem too. When you select 'Preview', all the illegal chars in the textarea are escaped, e.g.

No change to my Magic Quotes settings. Using the same Koivi in AMS and SmartSection and only does this in AMS.

If you look for my comments here:

You'll find what I did to get around this issue

(Mine is somewhere around the 17th comment, under the name "Jaypee")

@Jaypee.
Many thx. Yours was the code hack I mentioned in my first post. Didn't work for me last time, but I'll try it again.

@Jaypee. Your fix works if I change:

to:

This doesn't seem to have an adverse affect using Koivi + SmartSection either, but... it kills XOOPS line breaks in any block or module that doesn't use a wysiwyg editor.

This really needs a fix in AMS IMHO.

Failing that, are there any PHP wizzards that can hack AMS to disable XOOPS linebreaks like in 'News' or 'SmartSection' as dickinsd suggested?

Apologies, I'm wrong. Only a checkbox in SmartSection. In News it just works automatically.

Bump. Want to use AMS but this makes it unusable for me at the moment.

I'm also confused, 'cos I thought the core of AMS was based on 'News'. Koivi works fine in news.
