<BR> Tags in downloaded Orders

[smiffy]

I am using the extra info box and have made this a text area as in the AUG.

However on the downloaed order each line break is replaced with a <BR>.

Is there an easy way to remove this? I never happened under V4 or V5.

Fix for <BR> in text box (provided by developers)

To use text box make the following changes...

For Quantity on Confirmation Page and in Shopping Cart...

-Edit ActinicOrder.pm
-Locate 'sub InfoHTMLGenerate'
-About 25 lines down you will see..

$sHTML = "<INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=\"35\" NAME=\"O_$nIndex\"
VALUE=\"$sValue\" $sStyle>";

(all one line)

-Replace the line with...

$sValue =~ s/%0a/\n/g;
$sHTML = "<TEXTAREA NAME=\"O_$nIndex\" COLS=60 ROWS=10
$sStyle>$sValue</TEXTAREA>";

(2 lines both end with ;)

For Quantity on Product Page...

-Design | Text | GoTo Phase=-1 ID=2161
-Change...
%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="%d" MAXLENGTH="%d">

-to...
%s<TEXTAREA NAME="%s" COLS=%d ROWS=10 MAXLENGTH="%d"></TEXTAREA>

Warning, when setting the box size in the script bear in mind that the
text box is also used when editing the cart.

Chris,

Just to confirm, this above patch will prevenmt the <BR> tags being printed with the data entry reports from within Catalog?

According to the developement team, this will prevent all new orders from having <BR>s appearing in the Data Entry reports.

The existing orders, of course, will not be affected.
