[Plugin: custom tables] html in a text field

    Im using this to set up a list of courses and I have most of the information in separate fields (varchar). The main information is within a text field and holds several paragraphs, however its coming out as one block of information.

    Any <br/> or <p> will write first time and show correctly on the page, but if you load the entry again to make a change then it loads in html showing the paragraph tags then switches to visual, removing all of these tags and resetting it back. Visual and html have none of these tags.

    The only tags that remain for me is the <strong>

    Any ideas? I need to be able to separate them by paragraphs otherwise this will mean I’m back to the beginning with this section of the site :S

    Hi Stefan,

    I have put together some screenshots of the table set up, content and made some notes on each to say what is happening. Ive tried on a few other entries and the same thing happens on those too.

    I haven’t really used photobucket before so let me know if you can’t see them properly (there should be 5 images)

    please copy 1:1 the text in your “detail” field (as HTML) in notepad and save it as .txt file.. then send me this.

    I think that bug is already fixed in latest unreleased version, but will check.

    If I can confirm this, I will send you the 2.0 Beta.

    ok, found the issue.

    WordPress is using an HTML filter called wautop which removes <p> </p> and
    tags within HTML code when changing between Visual and HTML mode or save.

    This is a WordPress specific thing.
    Because some people like it and others not, I will create a setting where you can choose to enable/disable it.

    Will be implemented in the version 2.0.
    I will publish the “beta” in the SVN this evening that you can get it if you want. Please make sure that you afterwards updates to latest version when 2.0 will be released.
