Hi everyone.
I have a problem with this line of code:

var comicname ="{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.label)";

For some reason it returns the following:

var comicname="\nBetween_Friends";

as apposed to:

var comicname="Between_Friends";

Any ideas why?

Thank you for your time.

Dmytro, hello and welcome to the eZ publish Community!

What datatype is label in your example?

Good day Lukasz.
In my example label is a Text Line, if that is what you mean.

I figured that this problem can be solved by editing

design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezstring.tpl

Where I changed

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}
{$attribute.data_text|wash( xhtml )}

to

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}{$attribute.data_text|wash( xhtml )}

Does this look like a good solution to you?

Thank you for your time.

It is not recommend to edit default eZ publish templates. Use override system instead.
Copy the original dir structure and file to your design directory:

(yourdesign)/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezstring.tpl

Then you can safely edit tpl file. Function attribute_view_gui uses template for rendering output from attribute.

In case where you need it in one place better use direct access to the attribute content:

This will return value from attribute (without new line, no tpl changes required)

{$node.object.data_map.label.data_text|wash()}
