Text Formatting problem

[thiru_ch]

Hi, I used certain formatting effects for description of the add. But those formatting effect are not displaying on home in latest Listings. But those are displaying in the item view. So i want to display the formatting effects at front page and search results also.
I am uploading the screen shots.

please help me regard this matter

This is because on item the description etc is echo'd differently than from the latest listings echo
It depends on what theme you use, but the clue is to look at item.php and compare that to the latest listings and or main or where ever you have the latest listed items

Hi,

Yes, on search views description is purged of HTML tags, look for something like this in your search-list.php (or similar, it depends on the theme you're using).

Code: [Select]

osc_highlight( strip_tags( osc_item_description()) ,250)
and replace it with

Code: [Select]

osc_highlight( osc_item_description() ,250)

@ teseo,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried it but it is not working.
I am using alterego which is based on modern theme.
is there any other method?

Yes, I can see what's happening now. This Modern vanilla code:

osc_highlight( strip_tags( osc_premium_description() ) )

really doesn't need to include function strip_tags, because osc_highlight() already includes it. Then the solution is to clone osc_highlight() and modify it a little to not apply strip_tags.

Add this at the very bottom of your theme functions.php (take care not to leave blank lines after this):

Code: [Select]

<?php
/**
 * Gets prepared text, with:
 * - higlight search pattern and search city
 * - maxim length of text
 * - Preserve HTML tags (teseo's mod)
 *
 * @param string $txt
 * @param int  $len
 * @param string $start_tag
 * @param string $end_tag
 * @return string
 */
function cust_highlight($txt, $len = 300, $start_tag = '<strong>', $end_tag = '</strong>') {
    // $txt = strip_tags($txt); // Only difference with cloned core helper osc_highlight()
    $txt = str_replace("\n", ' ', $txt);
    $txt = trim($txt);
    if( mb_strlen($txt, 'utf8') > $len ) {
        $txt = mb_substr($txt, 0, $len, 'utf-8') . "...";
    }
    $query = osc_search_pattern();
    $query = str_replace(array('(',')','+','-','~','>','<'), array('','','','','','',''), $query);

    $query = str_replace(
        array('\\', '^', '$', '.', '[', '|', '?', '*', '{', '}', '/', ']'),
        array('\\\\', '\\^', '\\$', '\\.', '\\[', '\\|', '\\?', '\\*', '\\{', '\\}', '\\/', '\\]'),
        $query);

    $query = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $query);

    $words = array();
    if(preg_match_all('/"([^"]*)"/', $query, $matches)) {
        $l = count($matches[1]);
        for($k=0;$k<$l;$k++) {
            $words[] = $matches[1][$k];
        }
    }

    $query = trim(preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', preg_replace('/"([^"]*)"/', '', $query)));
    $words = array_merge($words, explode(" ", $query));

    foreach($words as $word) {
        if($word!='') {
            $txt = preg_replace("/(\PL|\s+|^)($word)(\PL|\s+|$)/i", "$01" . $start_tag . "$02". $end_tag . "$03", $txt);
        }
    }
    return $txt;
}

?>
Then you replace in Modern search-list.php:

osc_highlight( strip_tags( osc_premium_description()) )
and
osc_highlight( strip_tags( osc_item_description()) )

with

cust_highlight( osc_premium_description() )
and
cust_highlight( osc_item_description())

Try and see if it doesn't need some other adjustment.

It's working for me on Modern theme, an there's no other way around.
