line breaks from textarea in html emails

[zeniph]

Hi there

firstly amazing piece of work, used version 1 a few times and this is even tighter.

The only issue I encountered was the line breaks in HTML emails from textarea fields being stripped out of my emails (using phpmail, smpt wasnt available).

Breaks we're still there on the backend when I browsed the submission. Field type was set as textarea.

I resolved the issue with my limited ability by changing line 1242 in global/code/emails.php to:

PHP Code:

$placeholders["ANSWER_$field_name"] = nl2br($field["content"]); 


i.e. added in the nl2br()

Seems to work fine for me but perhaps I've done something wrong or missed some other setting.

Maybe this is of assistance to someone else or perhaps its a minor bug

Again great piece of work.

Hey Zeniph,

Thanks for this! Yes, this looks like a bug. HTML emails should definitely have newlines converted to page breaks.

I'm just putting together a list of bugs to work on for the next release; I'll be sure to include this one too. Thanks again!

no thank you!

The same issue also seems to apply to the HTML/Print friendly popup window for printing off record sets.

The coding looks a little more complex (to me) in that area and I havent been able to resolve for myself as yet.

Ooh - thanks. I've fixed the first problem locally, so that'll be in the next build. But I'll log your second issue (HTML/Printer-friendly popup) as a second issue.

Thanks!

Hopefully, you second issue will be resolved soon as you have raised you keen issue here. Last weekend I also brought my problem here that was solved by the senior members of this forum who also shared this https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/...ally-mean/ article with me to become a fine student.
