I discovered another instance of <code>$element[$j]-&gt;guidelines = $row[&#39;element_guidelines&#39;];</code> around line 1324. I changed that one too.</p> <p>Is that correct?</p> <p>Greetings. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-preg_replace-ltbr-gt#post-11699 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:28:05 +0000 yuniar 11699@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ah... yes, you are righ. The guidelines doesn't seem to translate the new lines into break. Only the field labels does.</p> <p>The fix is very simple, edit your includes/view-functions.php file, search around line 1656 for this code:</p> <pre><code>$element[$j]-&gt;guidelines = $row[&#39;element_guidelines&#39;];</code></pre> <p>change it to become:</p> <pre><code>$element[$j]-&gt;guidelines = nl2br($row[&#39;element_guidelines&#39;]);</code></pre> <p>that will translate the new lines into breaks. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-preg_replace-ltbr-gt#post-11685 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:39:06 +0000 Willy 11685@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar,</p> <p>I am using 2.3.</p> <p>Maybe I should have been more specific. I am talking about the "Guidelines for user" field.</p> <p>I introduce a long description containing html. I just tried your suggestion but no <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code> is placed where I made a linebreak using enter key. I checked this viewing the source code. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-preg_replace-ltbr-gt#post-11682 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 13:26:20 +0000 yuniar 11682@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Willy,</p> <p>What version of MachForm are you currently using?<br /> I suggest to update your machform to the latest version (v2.3), so that you won't need to manually write <br /> tag. New lines should be translated automatically to </p> <p>You can download it from customer area. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-preg_replace-ltbr-gt#post-11675 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 05:27:15 +0000 Willy 11675@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>In one of my field descriptions I have a <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code> that gets removed every time I edit and save the form.<br /> This forces me to rewrite that <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code> every time I edit the form before saving it.</p> <p>Can you please explain me where this what I suppose is a preg_replace is done and/or how to disable it?</p> <p>Greetings. </p>
