I am inserting a para in one of the fields in table exp_channel_data.

The problem i am facing while retrieving that data.

Suppose if the inserted para is like :

Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and seven rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs advanced to the Western Conference final with a dominant 104-82 win over Portland to give them a 4-1 series victory.<br/>Danny Green scored 22 points and Tim Duncan added 16 points with eight rebounds as the Spurs ensured a third straight conference final.<br/>Duncan said the Spurs are starting to come together at the right time.<br/>"We got to the point now where we understand how we need to play for a longer period of time," Duncan said.<br/>

Please notice the br tag.

When I retrieve it back on my page,I get the br tags inside the decription..Is there any way i can make the br or p tag work?

  • Looks at the fieldtype settings screen for the field in question. What are the values for Fieldtype and Default Text Formatting? – Derek Hogue♦ May 15 '14 at 13:26

Go to the Channel Fields Settings screen for the field in question, and change the Default text Formatting to "XHTML".

Once you've done that, you can also remove the <br/> tags, and simply enter a single carriage return to create them. (Two carriage returns will create a paragraph.)
