I seem to get varied rendered HTML in my webpage, specifically extra “” elements using what seem as similar EE tags. For the EE template code below:

{exp:query sql="SELECT…}
<h3><a title="View details" href="{path='group/index/{url}'}">{title}</a></h3>
{/exp:query}

The html correctly renders:

<h3>
<a href="http://mysite.com/index.php/S/group/entry_url" title="View details">Entry Title</a>
</h3>

But for similar EE template code:

{exp:channel:entries}
Phone:+44 {phone1}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Renders the “phone1” tag as a new “” element as so:

Phone:+44 
21340171

Giving me the tag content in an unwanted new line, I just want on one line “Phone:+44 21340171”. The containing div has a large enough width to hold the contents of “phone1”

Hi, readmetwice -

Have you double checked that the {phone1} custom field is set to formatting: none?  Otherwise it will, in fact, try to add HTML formatting as you see there.

Let me know if that helps!

There is no formatting.

Hi, readmetwice -

Could you post a screenshot of {phone1}‘s custom field’s settings please?

You may need to set it to xHTML, save, then back to None - and hit the checkbox for previous entries, to get this going.

Attached. also tried what you mentioned

Hi readmetwice,

It does indeed sound like the formatting for some or all of your existing entries may be stuck on XHTML from previous settings. To clear this, let’s do this:

1) Change the field formatting to XHTML and check the box that reads Update all existing channel entries with your new formatting choice?. Save the field settings.

2) Go back to edit the field again, and this time repeat the process above but choose “None” as the formatting option. Make sure to check the box that reads Update all existing channel entries with your new formatting choice?. Save the field settings again.

Does that clear it up?
