Hi,

Only recently started with SS and starting to build a site with it.

After installing the blog module have a problem which occurs when i click into read the full post.

On the full post screen html tags are visable, on the page i get:

<p>This is a great film <a href="http://www.test.com" target="_blank" title="test link">watch it.</a> etc etc etc</p>

All i really want to see is:

this is a great film watch it. etc etc etc

Is their a fix for this?

Cheers

Hi Simon,

The Blog module uses BBCode by default unless this has changed recently.

Check this archive from the old Forum:

I think you need to slightly edit your main blog .ss file to parse HTML.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the quick response to my problem.

Hey guys,

For those that have read that old post about this subject.. which file to we put the "BlogEntry::allow_wysiwyg_editing('true');"

Thanks!

Is there a reason for BBCode to be the default for the Blog module? It seems strange to break the SilverStripe UI convention of editing with TinyMCE - it's more consistent to enter content the same way across the site.

The first thing I did upon installing the module was to disable BBCode parsing and enable TinyMCE editing, and I think it's likely that's more in line with an end user's expectation.

Hi michaek,

Could you share how you disable BBCode parsing and enable TinyMCE editing?

Thanks!

It seems (per mapes911 above) that the newest version of the blog module allows you to place "BlogEntry::allow_wysiwyg_editing('true');" in your _config.php file. That would be simplest.

I can tell you what I did, but I don't recommend following my process, as I hacked the module to remove the BBCode. I've attached 3 diffs that modify the files needed. I'm planning to upgrade to SilverStripe 2.3 and the new Blog module, which is likely a better way to go.

This has been a very informative thread to read however, despite going through and changing and unchanging a lot of my files, I still can not get my full blog posts to view correctly (without the html code).

I changed the blogentry.ss file in both the /blog folder and in my /themes folder and still nothing.

any thoughts?
