Author Topic: html or bbcode in additional db fields? (Read 19528 times)

Is it possible to enable html or bbcode for additional fields? These are Image Description fields. I would like to have a bit of html code in a new field I added.

Anyone know if this is possible?

... in $action == "save"; ...

Code: [Select]

$your_field= un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['your_field']));

ahhh, interesting. Thanks mawenzi. So if my field is like this...

Code: [Select]

$additional_image_fields['image_location'] = array($lang['user_im_location'], "text", 0);
Would it look something like this then?

Code: [Select]

additional_image_fields['image_location']= un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['user_im_location']));
what about the lang reference?

By default HTML is allowed in custom fields. Maybe you've changed something in the code that turned it off..
make sure in includes/functions.php you have this line:

Code: [Select]

$additional_field_array[$key] = (!empty($image_row[$key])) ? format_text($image_row[$key], 1) : REPLACE_EMPTY;

html works but it totally breaks the template.

Am I supposed to use something like <html></html> to keep it enclosed?

btw. That line is present in my functions.php

You are trying to display some html code inside template's HTML...so what <html></html> are you talking about?

see my point?

heres what ive tried to do.

In the new text field I tried to put the following..

<a href="http://cydonian.com/blahblahblah.htm>My Link</a>

but it breaks the template. How do I prevent this from happening?

<a href="http://cydonian.com/blahblahblah.htm>My Link</a>

should be :

Code: [Select]


<a href="http://cydonian.com/blahblahblah.htm">My Link</a>

yes, my mistake. typo. doesnt solve the problem.

If you intend to use links within HTML files, that's not a bad solution but also not the best one.

Meaning, when I wish to add a link, I implement it within my PHP files. Then, I simply create a new initial tag within my templates.

In the end, the link becomes like this :

Code: [Select]


<a href="{my_link}">{lang_my_link}</a>

So, what exactly does it do? can we see it in action?

sigma · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2006, 05:36:26 AM »

sure. heres a screenshot after saving the html in the field within the ACP.

The template in the details.htm looks fine now after fixing the typo (missing ") but the problem with the field in the Admin Control Panel is still there.

Its because you should use textarea type of the field and not text in db_field_definitions.php

sigma · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2006, 02:32:55 PM »

thanks v@no. also Oracle and mawenzi for helpin out.
Where do you guys learn this stuff? Where does it say 'use textarea if using html'?
I just wish i could figure this stuff out for myself insted of buggin you guys all the time.

Its working fine now.

Now all I have to do Is find a way to show this field ONLY to registered members.
