Magento

Was working perfect on 1.1.8. After upgrade (using Modern theme), the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION tab still displays HTML correctly, but all the boxes in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION tab display the complete HTML code as one long continuous line.

This is very critical for our store - anyone know a solution?

ops… same here…

oh my god, lots of pdf file icon now converted in lines of html code.... :-(

From the activecodeline.com blog:

Open the following file

/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Attributes.php

Now on line 71 you will see the following code

$value = $this->htmlEscape($value);

Just replace it with

$value = $value;

HAPPY NEW YEAR YODA CODER

MANY THANKS!

Thank you very much for solution.

Has anybody reported this as an issue to the bugtracker? Why this option has been changed?

Happy New Year!

Thanks for solution!

thanks…

works for me too.

regards.

Works for me too, GJ!

This bug was the result of v1.2.0. And in v1.2.0.1 it was closed as ‘resolved’, yet I am still seeing it in the v12.0.2. 

Thanks for the tip.  Can I ask what happens the next time I try to use the downloader?  Will it choke or fail because the “core” has been modified?  I have not modified the core before and am not familiar with how this affects upgrades.

thank u....

Since this line doesn’t actually do anything:

(just being fussy)

Also, I noted that this newer bug report is showing as ‘assigned’:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue?issue=4856
(it was a good idea that the person found the problem on the demo store)

it doesn’t look like Vairen wants it fix. I upgraded to v1.2.1, and have updated all phtml/xml files dated back to v1.1.8, still I am seeing the same thing.

How annoying!  >:(

With quite a lot of bug reports in the system and new ones getting added I guess they have to choose and prioritise which ones will be dealt with in a particular release.  It was probably not viewed as a critical issue, and as a result they didn’t want to hold up the 1.2.1 release for it.

I’m sure it will be included in the first release after the issue has been fixed.

If i’m correct there is no need to change any code, just an admin setting.

The above-mentioned line in /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Attributes.php is preceded by elseif (!$attribute->getIsHtmlAllowedOnFront())

The attribute setting of getIsHtmlAllowedOnFront has apparently been handled in the bugfix below since v1.2.1. I solved this problem by going to Admin > Catalog > Attributes > Manage atributes, select the attribute with the HTML code and set the option ‘Allow HTML-tags on Front-end’ to YES.

Fixed #9899: Attribute with URL displays HTML code (Added “Allowed HTML-tags on Front-end” option to attribute)
