Translating line breaks into HTML in profile

[JohnFF]

Hi CiviForumers,

I'd like to translate line breaks in a field into HTML tags.

The PHP part isn't the problem, the problem is figuring out which form hook it should go in! Obviously postProcess is too late (by then the form is submitted) and alterContent is when the form is loaded, not submitted.

Any ideas other than happy-go-hackily re-inserting the data *again* in the postProcess hook after it has been inserted the first time?

Thanks,

John

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_buildForm might work, but I've never tried modifying field content that way.

It might make sense to treat this as an after-the-fact cleanup (like you do with phone-numbers). You could trigger the cleanup during postProcess (or during installation/upgrade/etc).
