News Shoe GK4 Stripping out html in infromation field

In the Newshow GK4 module under Article Layout in the field called "Info format" I can put text and of course the default items (%DATE %HITS %CATEGORY %AUTHOR). But It won't let me insert a simple html code which is a line break using the <br> tag. Gk4 allowed this in the version compatible with joomla 1.5. Is this a new restriction the gavick team added? This makes customization a bit more difficult. If there is any solution, I'm all ears.

There is a switch under NSP Module Additional Settings Tab..

" Clean (X)HTML "

Although yes that seems to affect the article itself, it seems as though joomla itself is stripping out the html out of the field. News Show GK4 is not the only extension that has had this problem. Perhaps there is a field type that does not do this?

What is your html filtering set to in joomla 1.7 ?

I set the usergroup Super Users to "No Filtering". Do I need to change something else as well?

Can you create a custom html module for test purposes to verify if the striping occurs in joomla , nsp module or the template...

Ok so just for kicks I choose no editor just to see if that changes anything. I did just as you said to edit html in a custom html module which worked perfectly fine (it works fine with an editor too). I then added the bold tags as seen here:



It strips out the bold tags but not the text. hmmmmmm.... and yes I even tested my template with this:
<p>text to display</p>

The text worked perfectly without being stripped out. So does news show pro allow you to add custom html in the field shown in the picture above? Have you tested it? (I don't mean this statement to sound rude in any way)

No i havent tried it myself , but if you are saying it was working in previous versions we can at least look into previous code and see where it gets striped out...

Sounds good. Just tested out the previous version on joomla 1.5 and I'm able to put in this code just fine:

Code: Select all

<div style="text-indent: 1em;">Created by: %AUTHOR</div>
