Magento editor automatic line break issue when adding a new product
I am adding a new product in Magento CE 1.7.0.2. I entered HTML code in the Short Description attribute.
MY PROBLEM: I really don't know where these extras come from <br>
. Even the WYSIWYG editor doesn't show these <br>
, but they do appear on the website's product page. Please, help.
WHAT I AM LONGING IN:
<p>Product Description:</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5px">
<tr>
<td>Category</td>
<td>Specials</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Texure</td>
<td>Digitally Printed on High Quality Matte Paper</td>
</tr>
</table>
WHAT IS THIS DISPLAY:
<p>Product Description:</p>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5px">
<tr>
<td>Category</td>
<td>Specials</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Texure</td>
<td>Digitally Printed on High Quality Matte Paper</td>
</tr>
</table>

These extra breaks are caused by a function nl2br()
that needs to be removed.
To resolve this for a short description , open your app / design / frontend / [package] / [theme] /template/catalog/product/view.phtml, find:
<?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description') ?>
and replace it with:
<?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getShortDescription(), 'short_description') ?>
To resolve this for description , open app / design / frontend / [package] / [theme] /template/catalog/product/view/description.phtml, find:
<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), nl2br($_description), 'description') ?>
and repeat it like this:
<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getDescription(), 'description') ?>
