Essential theme - slides description area

Essential theme - slides description area

Hi folks,

We recently upgraded to Essential 2.7.9.5.1 (Build: 2014111009).

I've updated our frontpage slideshow this morning, and discovered it will no longer accept HTML formatting in the Slide caption area.  All the text now runs together, with no ability to add a line break or new paragraph.

 

Its a small thing, but its a step back in functionality for us - anyone with ideas on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Thank you!

Lindy

I think that is because Gareth added PARAM_TEXT in essential/settings.php which could account for the change in how it works now compared with an older version.

The original version looked like this...

https://github.com/eduridden/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/settings.php#L510

It now looks like this...

https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/MOODLE_27/settings.php#L1463

So I guess you could try removing that PARAM_TEXT and see if it makes a difference?

The change was made on the 12th July 2014, here: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/commit/ece34535e6d0dd9d8e5063e85be374cb3d22e264#diff-3a8270dae2b17999b935edc868c22cebR555 - strange that nobody has mentioned this before.  I would have added PARAM_TEXT as a means of tightening up the page in terms of preventing misuse.
