There are no
s at all, neither in the source at FCKeditor nor in the record in the database.

However if you look at page source once displayed there are two
s before the table, but I can't edit those out, and the gap is many line spaces line spaces.

In the database there are no
s inside the table, however when the source is displayed from browsing the news item the table then has 121 occurrances of
. These linebreaks are clearly being added by the module at display time. If I save the source code off and remove these linebreaks then all is OK.

Note that both Content and Smartsection have a tick box to turn off line break conversion. On the form I am using now there is a tick box "Enable line break (Suggest to turn off if HTML enabled)". What I want to know is how to this off in News, please.

hi'

That's a matter that an experimented user can resolve :
• open Pspad editor
• paste your html source in this editor
• use compress html code function
• copy / paste this compressed code in source window
• send your form without preview

... but for an end user, you should take a look to FCKeditor forums (there is a lot of topic about this matter)

If I can remember (in fact, I'm reading some notes), you have to modify fckeditor/fckconfigs.js file, line 83.


... I'm not sure at all that will resolve
matter or that not produce other trouble. Just test it (be careful : you have to erase /cache folder content each time).

I have put a 2.6.3. / personal version here (with 3 videos plugins / buttons).

Perhaps this version would work better than yours ?

(sorry for bad english)

Many Thanks Burning, I now have a solution.

Unfortunately the change to FCKconfig.js didn't solve the problem but the information you gave me has helped me get to a solution, albeit imperfect.

The difference between Content, Smartsection and News is that the former two use the function displayTarea (in module.textsanitizer.php) with all the parameters, including the last which controls the conversion of line breaks to
. News only uses the first four parameters. So I have added ",1,0" to three instances of this in class.newsstory.php. The ones referring to hometext and bodytext.

This is a bit of a sledgehammer approach but since my users only use FCKeditor it will be fine.

What I would now like is a version of News which asks the question "Enable Line Break Conversion" for each story, saves that in the database and uses the information in class.newsstory.php. This is not the case with News 1.64 but hopefully it will come along at sometime.
