[SOLVED] Extra <p> Tags when Removing Strip Tags in Short Description

[cjrent]

In order to allow html formatting in my short description, I've changed my product-list.tpl

from

<p class="product_desc"><a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}" >{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}</a></p>

 

to

 

<p class="product_desc">
<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}" >{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}</a>
</p>

 

However, it seems that extra <p> tags get inserted when I do this.

Is it possible to avoid this, as it makes the visual formatting of the product list page to be off.

 

Rumor has it that TinyMCE is adding these extra <p> tags. Is it possible to stop it from doing that?

(see post #3 here: http://www.prestasho...post__p__300663)

I tried the fix from Post #7, but that didn't work.

 

Many thanks.

in this case it is necessary to modify the tinymce init function, check this: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:force_p_newlines

Where would I find that file in order to make the change? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm still getting the hang of this.

take a look here: ADMIN_DIR/themes/default/template/controllers/products/helpers/form/form.tpl

you have there tinymce objec SETUP definition:

 

tinySetup({
  editor_selector :"autoload_rte",

 

change it to:

 

tinySetup({
  editor_selector :"autoload_rte",
	    force_p_newlines : false,
	    force_br_newlines : true,

 

voila

Hello Vekia,

 

I tried this in my 1.5.4.1 site, but it didnt work (I emptied cache and forced compile). Is it perhaps because i use another external theme?

 

I need to remove <p> to avoid validation errors since i force the short description as an H2 tag

 

Thank you.

 

[solved:I replaced '{$product->description_short}' with '{$product->description_short|substr:4:-5}'

So fat it works ok and removes the 3 characters '<p>'. Info found on -http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/43107-solved-product-short-description-field-not-displaying-html/-

it's not well solution

you remove only first <p> and what about closing </p> tags?

it can generate a lot of problems with theme design

unclosed tags aren't good

[zeisei]

It removes also the end </p> tag BUT you are right that its a little bit dangerous and might mess up the code.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but i had the same problem, wanting to use the short description as the H1 tag on the product page. The problem is that the tinyMCE adds the P tag to the short description, which isn't w3c compatible.

 

To stop this happening, I simply went to the following file:

admin_folder\themes\default\template\controllers\products\informations.tpl

 

At around line 335, there is the code:

{include

file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl"

languages=$languages

input_name='description_short'

class="autoload_rte"

input_value=$product->description_short

max=$PS_PRODUCT_SHORT_DESC_LIMIT}

 

Simply remove the line class="autoload_rte", and it changes the field to a simple text box.

 

I thought this might be useful for anyone having similar issues!

This worked. Thank you.
