<a name="jump1"></a>

This code is bugging the heck out of me. It is found in the file include/inc_front/content.article.inc.php on line 86:

$content["main"] .= "<a name=\"jump".$row["article_id"]."\"></a>";

I was trying to make an article that would be exactly 450 pixels high. So I created a new article with the article title hidden (by checking the "hide" checkbox) and added an HTML content part with the sole contents of:

Code: Select all

{SPACER:1x450}

Unfortunately when I viewed the source for this page, I found that the HTML inserted in the place of the {CONTENT} tag was as follows:

Code: Select all

<a name="jump3"></a><br /><img src="img/leer.gif" border="0" width="1" height="450" alt="" />

...this make the article a height of 450 pixels plus an extra line break (not to mention a mysteriously empty anchor tag). Why is this HTML still being added to the beginning of the article. In fact a better question would be...

"What is the purpose of this empty anchor at all?"

I guess is when you check "top" when creating a article so a top-icon is inserted - that way you get a shortcut to the top of the page...

Understand?

Articles with "summary field" filled in and "plain text" content types seem to always have an anchor assigned to them, when visible. There may be others, I didn't check.

Since many of the ~other~ content types rely on the user to program their layout and purpose via HTML, PHP & replacement tags -or- are a predefined object... I THINK phpWCMS leaves anchoring to the user.

BTW those are NOT ~empty~ anchors. Add a content part with the coding to call that anchor... such as:

Code: Select all

<A HREF="#jump3">Jump to SPACER</a>

and it WILL be a ~working~ link that JUMPS to that anchor!!!!

Hmmmm... thankyou for you replies. As soon as I get a chance I will look into these comments further.

No one has addressed the reasoning behind why <br /> was added just after the anchor yet. This is unexpected behavior for a typical phpWCMS user who wants an exact height of an article.... such as myself.

I had the same problem, I solved it here:

include/inc_front/content/cnt14.article.inc.php

Code: Select all

//$content["main"] .= ($crow["acontent_html"]) ? "<br />".$crow["acontent_html"] : "";
$content["main"] .= ($crow["acontent_html"]) ? "".$crow["acontent_html"] : "";

so this is where the <br /> is coming from

Yes, that was discussed here:

apparently, there are still a few other places

Thanks for the tip. I suppose it still seems that this is not "expected behavior" for a CMS. I would really like to see this problem addressed before the release of ver 1.2. I believe that OG could solve this problem quite easily.
