Expand list of allowed tag nesting

Monday 26 April 2004 6:40:13 am

I am working with alpha 3 of 3.4 and am really happy to see that there is more flexibility in nesting tags (em within bold for example). But there is one bit of functionality that I really think should be included, and that is the nesting of lists. I am happy to make the necessary changes and submit them to the project, but I do not know what I need to edit. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be quite appreciative. :)

Thanks for the input Bruce! I'll start my investigations with that file.

I haven't had any luck either. Grrrr. I was hoping this would be a simple modification. Any recommendations from the eZ crew?

This feature is currently not supported (obviously). However we have said that we should add this, was a discussion some time ago.

To add support for this you can change the document structure definition in:
kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezsimplifiedxmlinput.php

$this->SubTagArray['li'] = array_merge( $this->InLineTagArray, "paragraph" );

You should change this to support section level tags ( like td and th ), which is defined with $this->SubTagArray['section'];

This means that the input is ok. ( not when using OE though, so the same would need to be done for the input handler for OE ).

Then we need to change the rendering. This is done in:
kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/output/ezxhtmlxmloutput.php
Search for the rendering of 'ol' and 'ul'. There you will see that all children tags are rendered with the code:

change:
$listItemContent .= $this->renderXHTMLTag( $tpl, $itemChildNode, 0, $isBlockTag );
to:
$listItemContent .= $this->renderXHTMLSection( $tpl, $itemChildNode, 0, $isBlockTag );

Then you need to test for backwards compatibility, so that content is not lost when opening old content.

ps: this is not tested, but the solution is not far from this. We have feature freeze for 3.4 but this should be added to 3.5. A working/tested patch would be appreciated.

uh... Need this ASAP.

Any luck with it Alex?

Think I'll have to pay someone at EZ to do this for our site if not.

Its just been checked into the trunk on pubsvn.ez.no. Hopefully the branches will get this shortly. 3.4 should.

We will have to backport it to 3.4 (it is a feature for 3.5). I'm afraid the OE won't be updated until 3.5 either: there will need to be a few more buttons to support this.

It is hard to explain to end-users nested lists don't work yet.
