CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I thought my problem was limited only to Forum & Blog modules not force wrapping the long none spaced input, but I found out that any form submission that includes a long no spaced characters will print the results on the page as one single row therefor completely messing up the page format and running out the frames...
This is major issue as if someone wants to ruin your page all they have to do is enter below:  1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

I don't know where to go to enforce wrap for all pages. Please test and see if above is happening also in your environment. I'm using the "CSS MENU left 1 Column"

Frames are EVIL(tm). What can you expect ?

But would you give write access to your site to "someone [who] wants to ruin your page" ?

Please don't use all CAPS in post titles.

if page content contains a very long string without spaces, it'll break a lot of layouts or just look bad.. even on this very site.



this "problem" isn't specific to cmsms.

Is there a way to get around this? How do other sites do it so it forces a wrap/break after certain number of characters?

Dont take the CAPS personal, it doesnt mean I was yelling.

if this is indeed a 'problem' ---

1. a smarty modifier that breaks "long words" -- see here
2. some extra code in whatever form is accepting the public's content that breaks long words at submission time. see here for something to get you started
3. hide the overflow with css  (not the best choice)
4. moderate submissions from the general public
5. educate your users and/or editors

Thanks for the research, i haven't been able to get this working but I'll keep trying....
