CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm having a problem with a custom field showing HTML tags with the content.

I've configured WYSIWYG, set the display preferences to Drupal Default Editor, created a custom field for a profile (set as Standalone Form or Directory only), turned on the Smarty filter on the text format, and inserted the custom field in a Drupal-view.

The Drupal-view has a link to edit the profile (/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&id=5932&gid=13), the edit page includes the proper text editor, but when the save button is submitted the text editor changes from a Filtered HTML box to a Text box and the user is directed to the Civi-view page (/civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&id=5932&gid=13). The output is correct in the Civi-View, but I can't figure out why the output in the Drupal-view shows the HTML tags.

This page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Configuring+CiviCRM+to+Use+the+Default+Drupal+Editor makes it seem that Drupal and Civi should work together.

Is this a problem with CKEditor, WYSIWYG, Views, or CiviCRM?

Here's a way to modify the Civi HTML output back to the correct characters for a Drupal view.

I'm using a template form just to change one field in the view; other templates can be created to modify the whole view.

1) Find the template file: sites/all/modules/views/theme/views-view-field.tpl.php

2) Copy the file to your theme folder

3) Rename the file to views-view-field--your-view-name--your-field-name.tpl.php

4) Edit the file to include the following:
<?php
$output=str_replace('&lt;/', '</', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('&lt;', '<', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('/&gt;', '/>', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('&gt;', '>', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('&nbsp;', ' ', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('&quot;', '"', $output);
?>
<?php
$output=str_replace('&amp;', '&', $output);
?>
<?php print $output; ?>

5) Save the file, clean cache or theme registry

Your view should now recognize the new theme template and output the expected results.
