CMS Made Simple Forums

I have the news module installed. The summary template contains this:

{$entry->summary|cms_escape:htmlall}

but that text does display <p></p> tags. Some editors somehow happen to get those in their texts, I don't know why. But i was under the impression that escape:htmlall should make them disappear. Why does this not work? Anyone out there with the same experience?

I think you don't want to escape but to strip the tags

Hello velden

Indeed! This works. Yet, It seems I don't understand what escape:htmlall is for.

Thank you,
Thom

Escaping in html means you do NOT want special characters to be interpreted as special character but just printed like it's used in the 'source'.

E.g.: < > are characters that are NOT printed by the browser but interpreted as start and end of an tag (like <p> for starting a paragraph).

Escaping '<p>' will make sure that literal text is displayed in the browser. Probably by replacing it with '<p>'

EDIT:
cms_escape:htmlall is equivalent of http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

Just to add a bit to what velden said, cms_escape works the same as http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language. ... escape.tpl except its default char-set is utf-8.
Other than that just look at the link for specifics.
