Hi Michael

I have just created a test form to try out the email field (never used it before!!), after a bit of confusion and silly mistakes I have it working perfectly.

 - I set up a vanilla Joomla installation, added Seblod, then created a new content type based on article.

        (Image: email-01)

 - I created 2 text fields {"submitter_name_article", "submitter_email_article"} for the user to enter their name and email address.

        (Image: email-02, email-03)

 - I added the Fulltext field

        (Image: email-04)

 - Next I created a new email field and placed it in the hidden position with storage set to none, and configured it as shown.

        (Image: email-05, email-06, email-07)

 - An email screenshot is shown where you can see all the carriage returns are honoured...

        (Image: email-08)

So the question is: What have you changed, what settings or configs are different?

Are you using a different editor?

Hi bucklash

Thanks for your field test. I recreated it and apparentely, when using a WYSIWYG textarea, the line breaks carry over. However, when using a plain textarea (as I am doing), this doest not seem to work, despite the fact that there are processing settings that you can set on how to handle linebreaks. So far i have played around with those settings, but had no luck...

For security reasons, i don't really want to use a WYSIWYG field on the public part of the website - especially because there are some content plugins runinng that extend the editors a bit. I can always hide these buttons with CSS, but the code will still be there..

So, unfortunately no permanent satisfiny solution in sight yet...

By chance I found something else out:

even stranger is the fact that when you use a textarea to save some text into the db, the line breaks are preserved.
This makes me somehow think maybe it's a problem with the e-mail field?

Hi Michael_S,

Which linebreak configuration do you used on textarea setting? (<br> or <p>)

Which email format do you used? (plain text, html..)

Note: Thanks a lot Bucklash!

Thanks.

Hi Bes

Sorry for the delay, I was away for a couple of days.

I have tried both, <br> and <p> configuration in the textarea, neither does work

The E-Mail format is currently set to html
I will try out plain text and text as html tomorrow and let you know about the results!

kind regards

Michael

Hello,

having the same problems: No line break in the email.

I have tried it with all mentioned textarea options and email formats.

Any advice?

Thanks Papi
