Newlines in database converted to HTML break for presentation

Jamroom Developers

I was reading with great interest a discussion close to this topic but it ended without a solution.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/jamroom-developers/38900/tinymce-inserting-line-breaks-into-some-list-items

One intriguing comment by Michael at the end was:


My question is which function of jamroom replaces the newline with a break? That is, when a comment is retrieved from the db with a newline, who is inserting the break before it is displayed?

Thanks,
TiG

Created a reusable function based on your solution. Works perfectly. Thanks much for your help.

SteveX,

Adding javascript to the form is exactly what I would prefer to do. This little tidbit:


is extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Excellent. Glad I asked. I will check this out - conditional form fields would be a great thing to have in my toolkit.

Thanks!

Anyone have a good practice for creating a form field that is enabled based upon an entered value in another field on the same form? For example, imagine having two fields that are both optional. Lets call them penalty_message and penalty_points. If the user enters a value in penalty_message we would want to reveal the penalty_points field to accept a now required integer value. Otherwise the penalty_points field would be hidden (or disabled).

( This is a simple contrived example. )

Of course one can show both fields as optional and handle problems in _save validation logic but that is not ideal. Much better to prevent the user from entering a value in (or even see) the penalty_points field unless it makes sense to use the field.

Conditional Sitebuilder Menu Item

Given this appears to be best addressed with template overrides and smarty functions (rather than a listener) I will adopt your approach. (Have written quite a few smarty functions at this point.) Your approach will provide plenty of options for future menu refinements (if need be). It also offers the option to encapsulate menu item changes within the modules which deliver the functionality.

Okay, then based on your advice I probably should just bypass Sitebuilder menu altogether and bring the full menu into code. That will provide full (developer) flexibility for whatever might arise in the future.

I agree. Been looking for something outside of SB to accomplish this. Ideally an event that would enable a listener to prevent the showing of a menu item.

Your answer is perfect if the condition is reflected in a quota. (I should have explicitly excluded that, sorry, my bad.) What I am looking for is the means to disable (or enable or even dynamically create) a main menu item (and sub-items) based on an arbitrarily complex condition expressed in code.

Thanks

Conditional Sitebuilder Menu Item

Jamroom Developers

Is it possible to conditionally hide (or alternatively, conditionally show or dynamically create) a main menu item created using Sitebuilder?

The need is to show a new main menu item (in this case, 'Publish') only for users authorized to use publishing functionality provided by the sub-menu items under Publish. The Publish main menu item would appear only for those who are authorized.
