html in text fails form validation

Jamroom Developers

Thanks Michael.

Not really, we have hundreds of pages using html and we have to allow a wide variety in the editor, not because it's used much but because the ability to write a bit of html is something we have to encourage from a literacy point of view and the authors have been trained in that rather than BBcode. Mostly the authors use menus added to TinyMCE rather than writing by hand, but that html is important to us.

Those line breaks do keep popping in there. We get them inside various divs as well, feels like I'm constantly explaining why it looks right in the wysiwyg but wrong in the page.

TinyMCE inserting line breaks into some list items

Jamroom Developers

Also, this produces extra line break (note the final full stop outside the span):
Whist this does not (note the final full stop within the span):

Here, a br is inserted after the ul and before the first li (doesnt validate), the first two list items have a br inserted before the closing li tag, and the third has one br inserted at the beginning of the li and again at the end.
You can also see br added after the h3

html in text fails form validation

I think we have solved this by changing the textareas to editor fields and allowing all html. Seems ok in testing so we'll see what comes back over the next couple of weeks.

Skin Directory

Jamroom Developers

In php, try:
$_conf['jrCore_base_dir']
$_conf['jrCore_base_url']
If that doesn't work try globalling conf at the start of your function:
global $_conf;

In smarty:
$_conf.jrCore_base_url

Off Topic

Our university library (day job) Jamroom site:
http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/

This Jamroom is set up and configured to allow librarians to create and deliver learning materials which explain essential academic skills to students. Here is an example of a workbook:

Here's another:
http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/ace/workbooks/literature-and-film-studies/2042/the-city-in-fiction-and-film

We use several custom modules, our skin is based on ussher's bootstrap skin from github. I find it very easy to customise and maintain.

Since we started using Jamroom the librarians involved with Technology Enhanced Learning seem much happier. They can create clear, good looking, accessible, w3c validating tutorials without bumping into too many technical barriers. Plus our publishing rate has increased massively.

Jamroom has worked well for our collaborative project, plus the support is awesome, I recommend it 100%

html in text fails form validation

Jamroom Developers

When I try to post a list here on the forum, it strips out the html.

When I update a post and add the html again I get an error similar to the one on my site - see the screenshot below.

Notice that I use only ul and li, and the error message list ul and li as allowed tags. My guess is that this error here is related to our html problems

Trying out the list here:

Skills4Study: an online resource from Palgrave that contains extensive learning material to sharpen your study skills (including note taking techniques such as linear, nuclear and pattern notes).

Lynda.com: a very useful resource to develop or acquire new skills on software, learning method. It has a section on speed reading that you may find useful.
