Hi guys,

I'm have a small problem usinf the textare field in the admin, the problem is I'm using two textareafields so that I can insert custom css and javascript on a specific page type, the only issue is that it inserts line breaks, paragraph tags and such rather than just plain text.

Any advice would be good thanks.

Does it store it formatted like that in the database? (check your database) or is it converting the line breaks etc on the front end? If you're using a TextaraField (over a HtmlEditorField) your database field should be 'Text' rather than html text.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, The database looks fine, it's not displaying tags and it's showing " rather than " which is how I'd like, so it's just somehow being pushed out as hmtl.

I'm using this..

'InsertCSS' => 'Text',

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextareaField('InsertCSS', 'Insert css'),'Content');

Did you try to use 'InsertCSS' => 'HTMLText' instead?

HTMLText adds HTML only if you manually add tags to the Textarea field, whereas Text seems to try and convert linefeeds and stuff to HTML...

If the front end is pushing out the wrong thing try $InsertCSS.RAW to get the raw content from the db. Note you shouldn't use RAW for some user input as it can exploit the website.

That worked perfectly, thanks will!
