Extra <br /> tags in categories plugin

[oxy8384]

In my categories plugin template file, I have this:

Code: Select all

    <div class="category_link_all"><a href="{$form_url}?frontpage" title="{$CONST.ALL_CATEGORIES}">{$CONST.ALL_CATEGORIES}</a></div>

but when I load my blog and view source, I get this:

Code: Select all

<div class="category_link_all"><br /><a href="/s9y/index.php?frontpage" title="All categories">All categories</a></div>

Where is that <br /> coming from (between the opening <div> and the <a> tag)? There's another generated between the category list and the submit button.

Help, please!

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Hi!

The categories plugin by default does not use Smarty templating. You must explicitly enable this in the plugin's configuration.

Garvin,
Hmmmm... That's very strange, because SOMETHING is obviously interpreting the stuff in curly braces (isn't that the Smarty templating)? So, doesn't that mean the Smarty templating is turned on? (Though I don't remember turning this on...)

In either case, I'm confused. Please explain how what you're talking about can cause these extra line-break tags to appear.

???????

Thanks,

Bill

Hi!

The plugin has both a smarty-driven output and an internal driven output. If you don't enable Smarty-Templating in the plugins' config, internal output is used and the .tpl is not parsed at all. It's all PHP+HTML code emitted then, all changes to that would need to be made in the include/plugins_internal.inc.php file.

So turn on smarty templating, then you can edit the .tpl file and remove what you don'T want.

Best regards,
Garvin
