Nesting tags within custom tags. Online Editor says they are not allowed?

Anyone have any ideas on this? I have seen previous posts about this but no solutions.

Hi,

<custom name='featuresright'>
<strong>Key Features</strong>

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>Item 5</li>
<li>Item 6</li>
</ul>
</custom>

will definitely work ( note that there is an extra linebreaks between <strong>Key Features</strong> and <ul> ). The problem is because a line tag is inserted when do not use editor while list is not supported under line tag. You won't get problem to make your list content inside custom tag in editor mode.

About how to edit inline custom tags, right click the question image, choose Properties and then you can edit text in the popup window.

Wenyue Yu, thanks for your previous reply. Do you have any more suggestions as to why the editor may be forgetting the class specified when I click "Send to publishing". I have published a bug report here:

http://www.ez.no/community/bug_reports/online_editor_looses_classes_applied_to_the_table_tag

I need to get one of the methods listed above working soon as our site has to launch next week.

Hi,

> I am not sure what you mean by the exra line break.
Compare your code and my code, there is an empty line between <strong> tag line and <ul> line.

>I don't think it makes much sense to have to type the code into the properties box of the custom tag. >That is hardly WYSIWYG.
Nobody said that OE for eZ publish is pure WYSIWYG. But display inline custom tag as a image is not good. We will change this if we found a better idea.

Sorry, I have closed the bug report since we can't reproduce that. Are you using the correct OE version. ( should be editor 1.3.2 ). Does anyone else have the same problem?

I think it is probably worth pointing out that the code mentioned above was generated whilst in visual editor mode, which would probably be used by non-technical authors who are not aware of spacing issues etc. They should be able to go in, add a title and list, select it and apply a custom tag to it. I have now got my page to save with a custom tag applied but on the front end all the code between the custom tag has disappeared. Looking at the code view in the admin interface show it has also disappeared there as well. The code now reads:

<custom name='featuresright'></custom>

Hi,

About the table class can't be saved. It do happens if you set table border to '0'. This bug have been fixed and will be available in editor 1.4 ( for eZ publish 3.3 and 3.4 with mozilla support ) and editor 2.0 ( for eZ publish 3.5 with mozilla suport ).

You can change file extension/ezdhtml/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezdhtmlxmlinput.php around line 1420 to the following:

if ( $attrName == 'ezclass' )
{
     $attrbute->setName( 'class' );
     $convertedAttr[] = $attrbute;
     $literalTagAttr[] = $attrbute;
     $coloredBorderTagAttr[] = $attrbute;
}

The only changes is adding line "$coloredBorderTagAttr[] = $attrbute;".

To find out which version you are using. Check the installation.txt under extension/ezdhtml.
