Inserting HTML into Custom Fields

First of all, I have been very happy with Store Locator.

I tried to enter an img tag in the Custom Field input, but when I save it is always deleted/filtered. I am SuperAdmin and have all filtering turned off.

Is there a way to change the Custom Fields input type to accept HTML without stripping?

Also, this might be very useful to others as well - maybe it can be added to future releases?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I don't use TinyMCE, I use CodeMirror. I I believe I have filtering turned off for TinyMCE, though. Would TinyMCE still filter in that case? Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help.

I completely disabled TinyMCE and it is still stripping any HTML. Maybe the input field type for the custom fields is the problem (i.e. being a text field instead of a text area)?

Where (in what file) can I change the type of input field is assigned to the Custom Fields?

Thanks for your help, the HTML is no longer stripped from the Custom Fields. However, the element is just passed as a string to the component (see screenshot). Any ideas on how to correct this?

Also, after re-opening the location record in the admin the custom field which had the HTML element inside is buggy (see screenshot). I don't have a problem with this as long as the element is passed correctly to the component, however I though it may assist you in diagnosis.

Thanks!

I have the same question - I was able to switch the 'cust1' field to show up with an HTML editor, but it still shows up as string in the box. What I'm trying to do is put in am interior image gallery of each location.

I am able to use the gallery somewhat properly in the full address, but it doesn't show up in the location bubble, only in the side bar... as you can see in the attached image.

The file listed in the previous message no longer exists at the location given. Can someone tell me where to remove "$this->XMLClean" now or provide another solution to the problem.

"The final piece of the puzzle i believe is in the following file:
components/com_storelocator/views/map/view.feed.php
You'll need to modify lines 154-158, so that they work like the full address field, so... for each line remove the function wrapping the fields called: $this->XMLClean.
Hopefully that will get you in the right direction."
