spacing - paragraph issue

[ljwonline]

I've read elsewhere on the forum about an issue with the spacing/paragrah of the text on the review page.

I changed the code within the showproduct.php file and it fixed the problem but not fully.

I've found that the issue is still there with the product description but not the reviews which was more noticable as these are usually bigger.

My site is a private members site and you will need access to view the script, I can give you a username/password to see.

I also have a problem that I think might be cookie related.

I use reviewpost combined with VB3(.6.8) and as I mentioned it is private members site, when I log into the site and go straight to the reviewpost script I get a standard page with no categories. If I go to the forum page and then back again to the reviewpost I see the categories.

Any suggestions for the cause. It's only working properly after I have been onto other pages on the site.

thanks

This is what my review pages looks like.

The spacing between the paragraphs was like this

here here here

They should have been like this

There is a hack on this forum, I can not find it now but it forced the paragraph to display,.

This is fine within the review but in the product description is it still not working.

I need to know what you did to comment really as I can type paragraphs without issue so if you find it let me know.

Right, I found it.

This was the solution I found, New line chars removed?
and from that thread I did your suggested code change of:

if ( VB3_COMMWYSIWYG == "off" ) $reviewtext[$itemnum] = convert_returns($reviewtextline);
else $reviewtext[$itemnum] = $reviewtextline;

those things are age old. Our current code uses this and thats correct we can convert_returns for non vb3 installs which is exactly what those 3 yr old posts do.

Chuck,

If I take out the code and revert it to the original I get no spacing / paragraphs on the page.

Try this then and you can also change that one little phrase for desc variable as well.

I tried this chuck

I get the same result, the review spacing seems OK but the original product is not.

this is what I get,

Description: The extensive leisure facilities at Cromer Country Club makes this resort a lively, family destination. The children will enjoy swimming in the pool while parents supervise from the luxury of the pool-side whirlpool. The busy bar serves a range of snacks and bar meals while the quieter, elegantly decorated restaurant offers a more formal choice of menu. Apartments are equipped with all practical and modern conveniences and are furnished to a very comfortable standard.

Correct please reread my last post basically you will see the same type of code for the $desc variable in that file as well and you change the line in the same file.
