accents

Hello!

I'd like to use FCKeditor on a website (to replace textareas), it would really be great! But I'm having a second thought because the data I'm storing in the database is html formated... For example, if the user enters 'électricité', the data stored in the DB is 'électricité'. I'm not very fond of that... I'd like it to be stored as it is entered. I don't want the presentation (HTML) to influence the data, because that means that if I want to access the data from some other interface, I'll have to convert it for it to be readable.

Thanks for your help and have a nice day!

RE: accents

in fckconfig.js, there is an option called FCKConfig.ProcessHTMLEntities

by default, this is set to True. try setting it to False. it may solve your problem.

Thanks Kae, it's much better, but stil not quite perfect... I still have <br/> codes for line breaks... Is it possible to take them out to? Or should that be done by script?
I realise that some HTML codes cannot be taken out like subscript or things like that, but that's ok, I just want to minimise these codes and in 95% of cases, people will just enter 'normal' text and that's what I'd like to come out nice and 'clean'.

RE: accents

You've to set up your mind about what you want: html or plain text.

If you don't like the html codes you'll need to replace them or don't use an html editor at all, but if you want the line breaks to show up when the content is shown in an html page then you need to use <br>
