Because my text area on the form is still one line and I was hoping to have it multi-line because it looks really ugly otherwise... </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-text-on-one-line#post-3799 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:54:25 +0000 reprocessor 3799@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for that Yuniar. We've been a bit stupid though!!! When my colleague tested the form he had 'TestTestTestTest...' in loads of times - of course, without spaces it's going to push the email out of the view pane in the email client. We ran another test with a couple of paragraphs of lorem ipsum and it worked no problem at all.</p> <p>Thanks once again for your timely reply and i'll keep this nugget of code handy - just in case we need to use it in the future.</p> <p>With kindest regards,</p> <p>Phil </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-text-on-one-line#post-3790 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:49:10 +0000 yuniar 3790@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Phil,</p> <p>Hmm..what email client do you use? Also, are you using the standard HTML email or the plain text option? It should have been automatically wordwrapped.</p> <p>Try to edit your <strong>includes/helper-functions.php</strong> file, search around line 342:</p> <pre><code>if($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;textarea&#39;){ $data[&#39;value&#39;] = nl2br($data[&#39;value&#39;]); }</code></pre> <p>change it to become:</p> <pre><code>if($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;textarea&#39;){ $data[&#39;value&#39;] = wordwrap($data[&#39;value&#39;],20,&quot;&lt;br/&gt; \n&quot;,true); }</code></pre> <p>that would force wordwrapping into your paragraph field to 20 characters. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-text-on-one-line#post-3786 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:03:42 +0000 reprocessor 3786@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar,</p> <p>Long time no speak!</p> <p>I have a wee problem. One of the main fields on our forms has paragraph text. When we get our email from the system and open this up in our email software, the text from this field appears all in one line. Is there any way this can be shrunk so that it can appear on multiple lines? It's imperative that this information is printable and easy to read. If so can you let me know how to do this? If you like I can send you the email in question so that you can have a look. I've still got your email address so I can forward it on that way if you like.</p> <p>I look forward to hearing from you shortly.</p> <p>With kindest regards,</p> <p>Phil Reid </p>
