ISSUE SUMMARY:
Jom Social Group description is removing all styling. Also HTML should be possible there.
Right now I can't even add a normal alinea or <br> code. So I get just a big block of unstyled text.


And is there a way to have the Group description always opened?

Hi Rakesh,

Just edit your group and the html format is working great..

When I save and reopen your changed group description. All styling and carriers are removed. I disabled JCE editor but that didn't help either. Going to have too look deeper, what is causing this.

Hi Rakesh,

in version 4.x are removed function to use another 3rd party editor, you only can use the default editor from Jomsocial..

well, can you provide me the video how to replicate it? because this is working fine, I re-edit and seems fine.. maybe browser issue, what browser are you using?

thank you

I used the Test account that has TinyMCE editor and the problem is the same.

The changes inside the Group description in the backend is not being saved.

See attached video how to replicate.
testing.openupgroup.nl/GroupEditorBug.mov.zip

Used latest FireFox and Chrome browsers on a mac.

I see, you edit it from backend, you didnt say it :p

Ok this is valid bug. I already reported it.

Ok, glad it's cleared up.

Eager to receive the update with fix.

I will let you know once this issue fixed.

this is the patch.. for fixing this you should open this file administrator/components/com_community/controllers/groups.php, add this code after line 560 :

$description = JRequest::getVar('description', '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);
        $postData['description'] = $description;

Could you please let me know what comes before line 560?

Don't think it needs to be right after:
<td class="key"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_DISCUSS_ORDER'); ?></td>

you need to put under function saveGroup(), after this code :

$postData   = JRequest::get( 'post' );

Great, it works now!

Can this also point me out how to fix this problem for the backend Event Description text?

Thanks

Hi Rakesh,

please update to the latest version 4.0.6, the event desc also fixed there.

thank you
