PowerCMS, iRite and HTML <P> tag

PowerCMS, iRite and HTML <P> tag

I have PowerCMS with iRite. I would like to eliminate the starting <P> tag and ending tag. I saw the following post under iRite but there is no NONE in formating for PowerCMS.

Question on iRite forum:
When I use iRite on a page that updates a record in my database, why do I see HTML tags such as “<p>” in the iRite text area?

Answer on iRite forum:
This happens if the Initial Value of the iRite instance is set to use formatting that converts HTML tags to HTML entities, in other words “<p>” to “&lt;p&gt;”. To fix this, select the iRite editor instance on your page and click the Edit button from the Properties inspector. Click the Initial Value lightning bolt and set the formatting to none.

But, how can I accomplish this with PowerCMS?

The initial <p></p> tags that surround the entered text are not set in the formatting of the iRite instance. This is a setting in the WA_iRite > fckconfig.js file. In this file look for this near line 117:

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'p' ;			// p | div | br



change this to br like this:

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ;			// p | div | br



Your browser will cache the previous settings you were using so to check you may want to try in a new browser.

Does this actually get rid of the extraneous P TAGS the iRite creates?

or just change the TAG that is used for the return?

ie after making the change to the above, paragraphs will no longer with with a PARA TAG they will end with a BR TAG?.

Certainly wouldn't want that!

No... that just controls how FCKeditor responds when you hit your "return" or "enter" key... you can make it so when you hit "enter", it just creates a break tag and goes one line down as opposed to enter creating a new paragraph which then the spacing will be based on your p tag's stylesheet attributes.

I would just leave "enter" set to paragraph and then if you just want to create a break tag and go one line down... then use "shift + enter" which will give you a break tag.

Brian, it does stop FCK Editor from entering the leading <p> tag.

Since a paragraph has an opening and closing tag, if it is set to use <p> for enter, it will automatically assume an opening <p> tag is needed when the page loads.

A <br> tag does not have an opening tag, so nothing is automacly entered when the editor loads.
