Help Needed on Update of Paragraph to <br />
Development and Programming
17 years ago
I’m still really new to php, and as an attempt to “write” a plugin, I have decided to tweak an existing one to suit my needs.
This adds <li></li> tags in place of Paragraph & tags, but I would like some assistance in making the output html a little “prettier.”
Here is the nuts & bolts of what I did
class List_item
{
var $return_data = "";
function List_item($str = '')
{
global $TMPL;
$this->return_data = '';
if ($str == '')
$str = $TMPL->tagdata;
$str = str_replace("
", "</li><li>", $str);
$str = str_replace("", "<li>", $str);
$str = str_replace("", "</li>", $str);
$this->return_data = $str;
}Here is how I used it in the template
{exp:weblog:entries}
<ul>
{exp:list_item}{body}{/exp:list_item}
</ul>
{/exp:weblog:entries}Here is how how it outputs the html
<h2>Draft Beers</h2>
<ul>
<li>Michelob Light
</li><li>
Rogue Dead Guy Ale
</li><li>
Schlafly Oatmeal Stout
</li><li>
O’Fallon I.P.A.
</li><li>
Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat
</li>
</ul>Any suggestions on how to make it “prettier”? Or should I really care 😊

Hi Greg,
You could perhaps learn from this plugin here. 😊
Pretty sure that this does exactly what you want already but if not then you can perhaps pull it apart to learn from it?
Hope that helps.
Best wishes,

Darn!
I was excited about doing this on my own! 😊
Thank you,
