NEW Plugin - MB Style Letters…

yep. I think I’m on 1.6.3, new plugin and {album_description) is a textarea w/ Auto BRs

Hmm,

Weird. I’m actually testing this on 1.6.3 Build: 20080319 myself on a localhost install that I mess around with and seems to be fine. Not too sure what’s going on there.

Is the field that you are typing the album description into simply just a text-area and doesn’t use any of those WYSIWYG editors does it?

Also did you try this code (mentioned above) :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site"}

{exp:mb_style_letters class="my-class" start="0" letters="1"}{title}<br  >{/exp:mb_style_letters}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Literally try that code so that you are applying the plugin to the title just to see if that works as that is how I tested it. If it works with that then something else must be up somewhere. If not then I’m a little confused really.

Very good point, however I never ever use XHTML as I don’t like what it places in but thanks for the heads up for everyone else.

What do you use? What about when you hand off the site to clients? How do you explain the need to use p tags?

I only ever used Auto and then place any needed tags into the templates and so clients can literally just type in what they want and press return and not have to worry about anything.

I know that semantically it’s not 100% correct but it validates fine and is still perfectly legible and doesn’t cause any problems anywhere so that’s why I do it.

Hey Mark!

On 1.6.8, I’m seeing the following on a textarea field inside a FieldFrame Matrix:

start=1, letters=1

works correctly. The output is:

T<span>h</span>is is the paragraph.

start=1, letters=1

gives me

<span>T</span> is the paragraph.

Oops. The download on the first entry doesn’t match the one from mid-thread, which does work. Thanks!
