[Plugin: custom tables] HTML in field not working

hi, what HTML was inside the field and what is showing today?

PHP has changed massivly if you have used [wctphp] but HTML should work.

Regards

I had a simple a tag with an href and a title attribute. Previously it displayed correctly, after the update it just shows the html. The field is a text field, and it’s being displayed inside a simple p tag.

copy past me here the code which is not working…

I can’t I’ve had to delete the data to stop the page looking dreadful and replace it with straight text for now.

But it was a column called authors which had content similar to the following:

<a href="author1.html" title="Read more...">author1 name</a>,
<a href="author2.html" title="Read more...">author2 name</a>,
<a href="author3.html" title="Read more...">author3 name</a>

With a table setup that included the following:

<p>{authors}</p>

and it used to show on the page as:

author1 name, author2 name, author3 name

all as links, but after the upgrade it showed on the page as:

<a href="author1.html" title="Read more...">author1 name</a>,
<a href="author2.html" title="Read more...">author2 name</a>,
<a href="author3.html" title="Read more...">author3 name</a>

The number of authors is variable (from 1 to 7 at the moment, could be more) so I don’t really want to have separate columns for each possible author and another one for a link to their page, especially as in most cases only one or two are used.

<a href="{author1}.html" title="Read more...">{author1}</a>,
<a href="{author2}.html" title="Read more...">{author2}</a>,
<a href="{author3}.html" title="Read more...">{author3}</a>

…
like that?

That would mean having a potentially infinite number of columns to cater for multiple authors. If I could have a proper many-to-many relationship with an ‘author’ table or a ‘one-to-many’ relationship with an ‘author x-ref’ table to achieve the same thing it would achieve the desired effect.

But why did it stop working as previously?

Has this ever worked?

relations between tables is planned, but was never implemented.
this will be a feature in the future.

I’m working right now on the relationship tables which are upcoming.

It worked with html embedded in the column contents, as I showed above, for the last few months right up until I applied the latest upgrade 6 days ago.

can you do an backup (not export) and send me the file via the https://bugtracker.wuk.ch ?

I can then reimport it and look how you did it (the old working code which is now broken). I can then see why its not working anymore and fix it.

If you are fast, the next release is this evening and if you sending it early, I can add the fix already in this release…
