Html Formatted text in listing fields

[adgarett]

Hi, I've added to my listings a field called extended descriptions where a longer description (up to 1000 characters long) can be input, the field type is textarea.

When the description has more than one paragraph I need to leave a blank line in between, it would be also very useful be able to use any other html formatting features. Is there a way to do so?

I've tried to add bit of html code but does not seem to work,

I've used </br>, <p></p> ... but it appears as text!

Any suggestion?

By the way I’ve seen it at: http://www.64xsoft.com/Operating-Sys...inux-l735.html

I am using version 2.2.06

Thanks for your help

Hellooooo!

Anyone there?

Hello adgarett,
Welcome to our support forums!
sorry for delay.
But why don't you try just to press ENTER? Effect will be the same as <br>'s.

Hi Alex, thanks for answering,

Strange, but it must work...

Solution:

To enable html formatting go to `Admin Panel » Configuration » Listings Configuration` `Allow HTML` enabled

Then go to `your_directory\templates\your_template\view-listing.tpl`

find

{if $config.html_tags}
	{$listing.$key|replace:"\r\n":"<br />"}
{else}
	{$listing.$key|escape:"html"}
{/if}

replace with

{if $config.html_tags}
	{$listing.$key|replace:"\r\n":"<br />"}
{else}
	{$listing.$key|escape:"html"|replace:"\r\n":"<br />"}
{/if}

How do you do this in the version 2.3.05?

colucci,
Just when creating a textarea field turn on WYSIWYG editor.
