https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30364 Bug ID: 30364 Summary: If a tag, i.e. 500$a has a framework plugin, even though a multi-line html “textarea” is desired, as soon as the plugin is added it goes back to a single line text box. Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.05 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: courtenay.johnson@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Created attachment 132263 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=132263&action=edit patch to addbiblio.pl to permit multiline input when plugs present If a tag, i.e. 500$a has a framework plugin, even though a multi-line html “textarea” is desired, as soon as the plugin is added, such as the example.pl, it goes back to a single line text box. I wish to use the HTML textarea to allow multi-line input, and I wish to use a plugin to filter out undesirable (non-utf-8) characters and to convert Windows code set smart quotes into UTF-8 so they would not be lost. Looking at the code, in addbiblio.pl, I see there is no provision for tags in the range 500 to 600 to use the textarea method for input when a plugin is used. I have made a change to the addbiblio.pl (starting at line 393) and the addbiblio.tt to add another alternative to input_complex, and now have the plugin I wrote working, with subfields that are accepting multi-line input. In the addbiblio.tt at line 1063 I created a new mv.type of textarea_complex, so for multiline input with tags within a suitable range with a plugin, so that this preserves the structure of the existing code. As part of my change tag 650$a is now accepting multi-line input with \n accepted. I am including a diff for the two changes done with version 21.05.03. This was originally done in 21.05.03 and I recently upgraded to 21.11.03 and see the same problem exists and the same solution was applied and appears to work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
