no line break with a profilefield

[GregorS]

Hi!

I adapt the template memberinfo and have a small problem with a profilefield (Biography) with the variable "userinfo[fieldX]"

i use it in a table and the variable make no line break

my code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="500" align="center">
  <tr> 
    <td class="thead" width="100">Name:</td>
    <td class="custlisting"> 
      <div align="center">$userinfo[field9]</div>
    </td>
    <td class="custlisting"> 
      <div align="center">$userinfo[field10]</div>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td class="thead" width="100">Beschreibung:</td>
    <td width="300" colspan="2" class="custlisting">
          <div align="left">$userinfo[field1]</div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

any chance to fetch out the custom-fields with line breaks???

thaks!

Hi!

I found the problem!

It is the "class" command!

Without you have no trouble!

"class", as in: class="custlisting"

I'm using standard classes (alt1), and removing the class doesn't have an affect on the display. I don't know if it matters, but I am using custom profile fields.

please post your code....

My code:

..... 
<tr> 
    <td class="thead" height="100" valign="top">Beschreibung:</td>
    <td bgcolor="#BBC7CE" height="100" valign="top" colspan="2">
	<table cellpadding="3" border="0">
	 <tr>
	   <td>
             <div align="left">$userinfo[field1]</div>
	   </td>
	 </tr>
	</table>
    </td>
</tr>
.....

In this case I am using a separate table that contains all the info of the user fields.

It looks something like this:

 <tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="5">  

<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

    <tr>
      <td width="25%" rowspan="2" valign="top">
<if condition="$userinfo['field69']">
<strong><u>Current Modifications</u></strong><br />
$userinfo[field69]<br /> 
<br />
</if>

</tr>
        </table>
      </td>
    </tr>

Here is an example of a how the fields are being displayed.

If you mean the user typed a newline and it doesn't show up, that is because the \n character has no effect in HTML other than adding a space if there wasn't one there initally. Two solutions:

1. Use vB's BB code parsing functions to convert it to vB code, which interprets newline characters.
2. Use http://www.php.net/nl2br .

filburt1,

I've tried the second method, but I must not be looking in the right file. Where would this need to be added?
