Using EE 2.1.0
1) Basic Tags being supplied by EE
When I create a text entry (area or input) like “Hello, world” in the input field myText and accept the default XHTML formatting and then call it with EE like this {myText} I get the following output:
Hello, world
What I really want is exactly what I entered: Hello, world. If I set formatting to “None” the output is exactly what was entered in the field.
Given this, how do I set the DEFAULT formatting to be “None” **for all new fields** (so that I don’t have to remember to undo XHTML as the auto-set option) so that each field is set to None unless I choose otherwise? Am I that weird in this regard (don’t feel compelled to answer that…)—do most EE designers really want tags inserted?
2) URL being presented as links
NOTE: In the following, the formatting IS SET TO “None”—in the example the filed name is myURL
a) entering something like “/images/uploads/somefile.pdf” and then calling with gives exactly what is expected in the output: <a href=”/images/uploads/somefile.pdf”>__b) entering something like “http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/somefile.pdf” and then calling that in exactly the same manner gives <a href=“a href=http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/somefile.pdf”>http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/somefile.pdf...
In other words, when the http:// is present EE makes a link out of it, again, even when field formatting is set to “None”
