I am not sure if this have been discussed before, or if it is possible already, but anyway:

I have set my latest comment module to limit the body to 35 (or something), but still it happens that people manage to sneak in a linebreak before that, and the linebreak will also show up in the latest comment module. I was wondering if it was possible to implement a setting like Ignore linebreak or stop at linebreak, so that it won't look like this:
[attachment=0]comment.png[/attachment]

Hi Magnus,

you can do this by a simple hack to the module file, before this line:

$all_comments .= $current_comment_item;

add:

$current_comment_item = str_replace("<br>", "", $current_comment_item);

I did that. so now it looks like:
$current_comment_item = str_replace("<br>", "", $current_comment_item); $all_comments .= $current_comment_item;
But that prevents the comments from appearing as a list:
[attachment=0]com.png[/attachment]
Did I do something wrong? I can be pretty stupid with these things..

please show me the comment element format in the module config, it should have <br> at the end, change it to <br />

Friday the 13th and all, once I try something out in the 14th it works. I really need to write up a review for you guys at JED, and see if I can afford the subscription some time soon.

Or that brings me back to my original issue:

Thanks Magnus, please show me the module configuration code you changed, this is the only change you made since you had all lines together ?

What I have done so far:
1. Added the code to helper.php (I think it was, sorry, my memory isn't too good)
2. Changed <br> to <br /> in module configuration

<a href="{page_link}#commentID{id}">{text}...</a>

My module configuration, comment row content. Tried adding <br /> back but it keeps disappearing after I save it?

Hi Magnus,

2. Changed <br> to <br /> in module configuration

I don't see neither <br> nor <br /> in the code line! you needed <br /> at the end! backup this line then completely remove it and Apply, what do you get as a result ?

Max

Removing it results in no comments being shown. If I change it to <br> it will put all comments on one line, instead of each comment on a separate line. If I change it to <br /> it will just remove it when I save it, and when I open it again it will be the line I posted above.

As when I try to save:
<a href="{page_link}#commentID{id}">{text}...</a><br />
It saves OK, but when I open the module configuration page again it shows:
<a href="{page_link}#commentID{id}">{text}...</a>

Hi Magnus,

This is weird, why its removed, lets try another way!

use this :

<p><a href="{page_link}#commentID{id}">{text}...</a></p>

let me know!

</p> brings about the same problem as <br>, all in one line. But adding <br /> at the end seems to move them to separate lines, even though it is gone the next time I open the module configuration screen. Still isn't working with the line break though. Doesn't matter too much to me, just a feature that would be nice to add in the module.

Hi Magnus,

That's Ok, I will copy this to the bugs forums and check it on time!

Sure, thanks for all the help so far.
