[Plugin: WP-SimpleViewer] How to include html tags in caption and write to xml file?

  • Hi,

    If I try to include html tags that Simple Viewer supports (e.g.
    ) in captions the characters are written to the gallery xml file as ascii characters and therefore not interpreted correctly by the simplie viewer flash file.

    e.g.

    <image>
    <filename>GJ8Z6025.jpg</filename>
    <caption><![CDATA[1
    test]]></caption>
    </image>

    If I edit the caption in the gallery xml file manually to:
    e.g.

    <image>
    <filename>GJ8Z6025.jpg</filename>
    <caption><![CDATA[1
    test]]></caption>
    </image>

    The simple viewer flash file interprets it fine.

    Could someone please point me in the right direction as to what i need to edit to stop php formating html tags to ascii…?

  • When I compare the code provided above, I cannot find any difference? Can you check if it has not been copied correctly?

    For example in the admin interface I type in the caption:

    Title
    2008
    Canvas
    100 x 100
    $700
    In Stock.

    In the xml the plugin writes:

    <image>
    <filename>GJ8Z6025.jpg</filename>
    <caption><![CDATA[Title
    2008
    Canvas
    100 x 100
    $700
    In Stock.]]></caption>
    </image>

    The above ascii charecters are outputted in the flash file as Title
    2008
    Canvas
    100 x 100
    $700
    In Stock.

    If I edit the xml file manually to the below, everything works fine.
    <image>
    <filename>GJ8Z6025.jpg</filename>
    <caption><![CDATA[Title
    2008
    Canvas
    100 x 100
    $700
    In Stock.]]></caption>
    </image>

    So I need it edit the plugin to stop writing html tags as ascii characters…

    Hi, sorry the above didnt show because the browser rendered the ascii tags to html tags automatically, please look at the following pastebin for my post:

    Now I see…up to now html tags are not working – I will have to look into that if I can fix it…

    Thanks, it would be awesome if you could add the option for multiple variables to a photo through the admin interface. This could be achievable through writing to the gallery xml file and dividing each variable with a
    tag as I have done manually.
