revshow.php isn't parsing / displaying paragraph breaks in any of the reviews

The following lines of text for each review doesn't make proper sense:

#1 Last Review Posted by JoeSoap - posted products and: 9 November 04 19:03
#2 Product Details: "Product Name" by JoeSoap - posted products and: - Rating: 8.00

I'd like to suggest that 'rating' in line #2 be changed to 'overall product rating' or similar (which is what it is) as each reviewer's rating already appears just above that... and it may be confusing to some people.

I show we convert returns on that script

For the date line find this in revshow.php and add in bold

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

In your english.php language file you can make this line this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I'm not sure what you mean Chuck?

I've checked out your site... myhunprotectsme's review of this product has paragraph breaks in it but they don't show up on revshow.php

This is right in the file revshow.php and it has convert_returns in there

... but it's not working / doing what it's supposed to do and that's show the paragraph breaks.

Look at your review in the database you have no paragraph breaks or anything to convert.

If there are no breaks or such to convert nothing can be converted at least that is what I see

criscokid · December 30th, 2006, 07:56 AM

But there are paragraph breaks.... I even gave you an example in post #3:

Chuck S · December 30th, 2006, 08:00 AM

There are no breaks I went right to the database and there is no /r/n or no <br /> in that review

criscokid · December 30th, 2006, 08:37 AM

So what's creating the paragraph breaks for the review on showproduct.php?

Whatever it is please can we get revshow.php to parse those 'paragraph breaks' in the same way that showproduct.php is doing.

Chuck S · December 30th, 2006, 08:55 AM

I can not say if you compare the $commentstextline variable in showproduct against the $rowreviews one in revshow we do the same exact thing so I can not really say what is making it show that cause clearly if I go to the database and look at the review in there it has no line breaks or break tags stored so I dont see where showproduct has anything more to work with that revshow

There are no paragraph breaks and thats the puzzling part although I tested photopost also and it is the same way in comshow. I think it has something to do specifically with vb3 and on that page is something from vb3 that lets spaces not breaks be translated

It's also not parsing BBcode - maybe that holds a clue? - It's outputting it like this:

It parses markups fine. Looks to me like your trying to do whole html code or something which its not going to do

Now I dont really know what else to say about getting line breaks that do not exist to show. Clearly looking at the review in the database there are as stated no line breaks or break tags so I dont know what makes space print on showproduct since there are no line breaks to convert.

I'm not trying to do anything special... in the review at /reviews/showproduct.php someone has used BBcode which contains a URL and a word - like this. It's not being parsed properly by revshow.php

I have EMS MySQL Manager Pro installed on my PC. I've just loaded my reviews table, gone to the latest record and the review field, pressed Ctrl C to copy the field then opened notepad and Ctrl V to paste the text.

Voila... there's paragraph breaks in the text.

I've gone back to examine the data in the actual review field of the record and I'm able to navigate around it and can see the paragraph breaks. They're not coded, special characherters or anything, they're just there... much like if you were typing someting in notepad or Word.

In a mysql database if you had a line break or break tag it would usually show <br /> or /n/r/n etc

That is what I am saying. I am not disagreeing with you I have simply said looking at the code we clearly run the same stuff on the comments on showphoto as we do the revshow script so thats the stumper right here.

I am continuing testing dont worry but there be no easy answer to this since we do the same thing on both scripts
