I am using SimplePie to feed blog entries to a non-Wordpress website. By default it strips out all HTML tags, but there is a way to keep them in, by inserting this code near the top of your page:
$feed->strip_htmltags(false);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
However this doesn't seem to be working. The links are present in my feed reader, so I don't believe the problem is with the feed itself, rather with the way I'm using SimplePie. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and found a solution? Thanks.
By default it strips out all HTML tags
Actually, it uses a blacklist to strip certain tags, but it does not strip links (a elements). If links are not appearing, then likely you're accessing the content wrong, or something else is stripping them.
One possibility for why this is occurring is that you're accessing the summary of the item instead of the content.

i was just wondering (since i didn't find anything quick on Google) if its possible (and how do i achieve that) to search directly in an html file, and ignore the tags or not as i please?
explaining a bit further. we wrote a crawler and obviously the crawler gives back the HTML of the page. But if i feel like searching the content of the crawler, do i need 2 separate fields one with html and one without or i can just have one field with html and search ignoring the html tags or not.
thanks in advance.
If i correctly understand you, all you need is to set search indexes without html tags?
We solved that problem this way:
class PostIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
text = indexes.CharField(model_attr='text', use_template=True, document=True)
and in template (search/indexes/blogs/post_test.html) we just used striptags filter
{{ object.content|striptags }}
After that you need to build_schema and rebuild_index. Now it search correctly without tags.
I have a number of templates that create headings based on a formula. I am wondering if there is anyway to create an "edit" link that will take you directly to that section? The way that it currently works, the edit link takes you to editing the template itself. Could I possibly create a customized link that would keep you on the page and take you to right part?
Here is some sample code to help clear things up...
Template:Head:
==={{{1}}}===
This is a heading titled "{{{1}}}"
Test Page:
=Section 1=
{{head|1.1}}
{{head|1.2}}
{{head|1.3}}
=Section 2=
{{head|2.1}}
{{head|2.2}}
{{head|2.3}}
At the moment, if I want to edit the information for template "2.3", I have to edit all of section 2. (Note that for this example, that isn't a big deal. For the actual templates I am working with on my site, the templates have dozens of parameters and there are sometimes 10 or more in a section.)
Bottom line, is there way to create a custom edit link inside of the {{head}} template that would take you directly to editing the templates call on the page "Test Page"? Hope that makes sense.
Edit: Is there perhaps a way to make use of "anchor" tags? Can anchors be passed in to the URL?
To restate your problem, when you transclude a section heading the header isn't treated as being part of the destination page, so the edit link takes you back to the source. So you need a separate container for the template in order to edit it individually, and a complete section is the smallest editable container.
The only way I can think of doing this is using subpages (or virtual subpages if you don't have that ennabled in this namespace, doesn't change anything). So instead of placing {{head|1.1}} on MyPage, put it on MyPage/Subpage1 and then transclude that into MyPage in the usual way ({{:MyPage/Subpage1}}).
{{head}} can then include a custom edit link to the template input by using HTML heading tags (<h2> is equal to ==, etc.) to suppress the standard edit link and then use one of these templates (probably {{ed right}}) to create a custom edit link pointing to MyPage/Subpage1.
The way to create anchors in Mediawiki, by the way, is to use a <span id="name"/> tag, but that doesn't create a container that can be edited (or at least, not that I've been able to work out through URL tinkering).
I'm pretty sure there's no way to do that. As far as MediaWiki's section editing feature is concerned, the only thing that begins a new section is a line of the form:
=== Some text here ===
with the number of = signs determining the level of the heading. There's no way to get MediaWiki to let you edit any segment of the document that doesn't begin and end with such a line (or the beginning or end of the page).
Well, OK, I'm sure you technically could do it with an extension, in the sense that you can do anything with a MediaWiki extension. All you'd need to do is provide some way (e.g. a special parameter in an edit URL) for to user to indicate "I want to edit this template", then extract the template from the wikitext, present it to the user for editing, and write the result back into the page text over the original.
The tricky part will be extracting the template from the page source. (Finding and replacing templates on a page is a fairly common task for MediaWiki bot writers, so you might want to look for ideas there.) Whatever method you end up using for that, there will probably be edge cases where you need to give up and tell the user "Sorry, but I can't figure out how that template is transcluded here."
I am currently updating my page with facebook open graph meta tags so it get's a nice preview when pasting the url to facebook.
Sadly, the og:description property or any other property of type string seems to ignore linebreaks.
I've tried any known format for linebreaks like \n or <br> but none of them work.
Does anyone know the trick or is it just not possible to add linebreaks?
Thanks, McFarlane
I dont believe Facebook, Twitter or any other content sharing sites will allow formatting data in meta tags. Your best chance is to study how many characters these sites use in each line of the preview and insert appropriate number of spaces to simulate line break. (If they ignore white spaces)
I have an HTML page which needs to display some HTML generated by the user on the Administration area (like a blog, for instance). The problem is that the user sometimes needs to copy-paste tables and other "garbage" content from Word/Excel to the WYSIWYG editor (that has the proper "paste from Word" function). This causes the resulting HTML code to be very dirty.
It wouldn't be a problem unless some of these pages are shown totally wrong: other divs AFTER user's HTML code are not in their supposed position, floats are not respected... etc...
I tried putting a div:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
without success. I even tried with iFrames, but iFrames accept only external webpages (if applicable...).
The question is: is there any tag or method to put a part of an HTML code inside a webpage discarding all formatting AFTER this code?
Thank you.
To my knowledge, you simply want to end all divs. HTML is a very simple code, with very simple options. Your example doesn't work because HTML isn't that advances. You can either start a function <...> or end a function .
Ideally what you want is a piece of code that puts their work in a separate frame entirely, so as soon as the page passes their code, it goes back to the correct formatting.
Or, you could be really sloppy and put one hundred 's in, just in case.
I am using umbraco 4.7. I have created a razor macro to insert telephone number in my rich text editor. Whenever i add the macro in the RTE, <p> tags are added around the macro automatically. I tried removing the extra <p> tags by editing the html but as soon as I click on save, the <p> tags are added again. I tried installing this package
but it didn't solve my problem. I have tried setting the <TidyEditorContent>False</TidyEditorContent> and checking the forced_root_block : 'p' but none of these could solve the problem.
Any pointers to solve this issue?
This is a common issue, and the RTE causes a number of headaches for maintaining the integrity of your web page. The whole "should we include paragraph tags or not?" question is a difficult one, as it is fine to remove them when only inserting a single paragraph of text, but what if the content editor decides to add more, and you are stripping out the first and last P tags?
Bearing in mind that the CSS for a site will always need to support whatever you choose, the best option is to edit the configuration file to make TinyMCE omit the P tags. To do this, you need to edit the /config/tinyMceConfig.config file. This has two interesting sections at the bottom. contains allowed HTML tags, and the of course contains the opposite.
If you look in the valid elements list of comma separated values, you should see a value #p[id|style|dir|class|align]. Taking note of EXACTLY how this is formatted, you should be able to move it into the invalid elements section. Put it after the default font tag, with a comma preceding it of course.
Restart IIS and try entering your content in the RTE. When you publish, then view the output, you should see that the string in the RTE has had the paragraph tags stripped.
One final option is to strip the paragraph tags from the output. There are many new ways of doing this, but for your Razor version I would use something like:
#Html.Raw(umbraco.library.RemoveFirstParagraphTag(value.ToString()))
This idea is covered in another StackOverflow article.
Good luck, and please let us know if you have any success.
use this jquery .....
$('p').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
if($this.html().replace(/\s| /g, '').length == 0)
$this.remove();
});
