Nesting with the EE find and replace plugin
Development and Programming
This topic has kinda been discussed in http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/69672/ but what I am trying to accomplish is a little different…
In a nutshell, I want this to work:
{exp:replace find="\\n" replace="SPACE"}
{exp:replace find="QUOTE" replace="\\QUOTE"}
{body}
{/exp:replace}
{/exp:replace}However, it doesn’t. It just outputs the string with a literal “{/exp:replace}” at the end. Based on what I read in the thread noted above, this is normal behaviour.
So, my question is whether or not there’s a way to get this plugin to do what I want it to do any other way?
I just need to covert the {body} into a single line (remove all newlines) and escape all double quotes so that it can be safely used in the JavaScript for that cool pop-up balloon thingy in Google Maps.
I also tried this:
{exp:replace find="QUOTE|\\n" replace="\\QUOTE|SPACE" multiple="yes"}
{body}
{/exp:replace}…. but it doesn’t seem to want to play… :-(
If anyone can think of anything, please let me know. For now, I’m resorting to PHP to do what I need to do:
{exp:weblog:entries entry_id="18"}
<?php
$string ='{body}';
$string = addslashes($string);
$string = preg_replace( "/\n/", '', $string );
echo "html =\"".$string."\";";
?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
