When editing the author's Biography in Easyblog, it is stripping out all the formating out of the author's bio. I can't include images or links, or any formatting.

If I look at a biography made before the latest upgrade, the formating is correct. But if I resave that same author's profile, it will strip out the formating.

Please help.

Scroll down to see this bio. the bio contained the proper formating before I resaved the author's profile: http://www.onlyinfluencers.com/email-marketing-blog/entry/three-email-message-types-not-to-miss-in-your-customer-marketing-mix
Hi Bill,

By right the issue should have been fixed in the latest version of easyblog 5. Can you pass me your joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue directly?

Ezrul -

I just updated to the current version of EasyBlog (5.19), and the problem is still occurring.

I've attached backend and FTP info.

Hi Bill,

It seems like the issue is only occur with JCE editor. I've applied some modification inside your /administrator/components/com_easyblog/controllers/bloggers.php and it should be working correctly now. Can you verify it for me?

Michael,

You can download the attachment below and place it inside your /administrator/components/com_easyblog/controllers/ folder and see how it goes.

Hi Evan,

This issue has already been addressed in latest release of easyblog. You can go to your /administrator/components/com_easyblog/controllers/bloggers.php and search the code at line 195~199:
$post['description'] = $this->input->get('description', '', 'html');

$post['biography'] = $this->input->get('biography', '', 'html');



// Replace with



$post['description'] = $this->input->get('description', '', 'raw');

$post['biography'] = $this->input->get('biography', '', 'raw');


If you are using older version you can try to update your easyblog to latest and see how it goes.
