There seem to be a bug in eZ publish 3.9.1 regarding the AllowEmpty for paragraphs in content.ini. If this parameter is set to true the XML-editor renders 

<p>&nbsp;</p>

, in the file ezdhtmlxmlinput.php in the editor (OE 4.2.2) extension. So far so good.

The output of the text on the other hand is shown as only 

<p></p>

without  . This results in only one break and the idea of this setting is to allow multiple empty paragraphs, isn't it?

I have noticed there is a lot of changes in the eZXHTMLXMLOutput class from 3.8.6 to 3.9.1. In example the function renderXHTMLParagraph is replaced (?) with the function renderParagraph and as far as I can see the problem is in that function somewhere.

Does anyone else have the same problem as I? Is there a bug in 3.9.1 regarding allow empty paragraphs? I haven't found any bugreports yet regarding this, should I report it?

Best regards!

Hi Anja, did you find any solution to this, I've run into the same problem on 3.9.0 not yet tested on 3.9.2 though.

Edit: In my opinion this is a bug, so please do report it as such. Here is a crude work around until it's fixed.

Create an override template for design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/paragraph.tpl

After

{$content}

add the following

{if $content|not}&nbsp;{/if}

Cheers

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

Hi Brendan,
It's interesting to hear other people have troubles with this functionallity. For a while I was worried there was something wrong with my installations only. I will report this as a bug now.

My work around is this:


{*if there is not $content and 'AllowEmpty' for paragraph in content.ini is set to true*}
{if and($content|not,ezini('paragraph','AllowEmpty','content.ini')|eq('true'))}
<p{section show=ne($classification|trim,'')} class="{$classification|wash}"{/section}>&nbsp;</p>

{*otherwise*}
{else}
<p{section show=ne($classification|trim,'')} class="{$classification|wash}"{/section}>{$content}</p>
{/if}

Best regards!
