I have a DataObject and GridField which, among other fields, holds a HTMLText
datatype field. I wish to display a preview of this in the GridField, stripped from HTML.
Non-ideal solution
private static $summary_fields = array(
'Title' => 'Title',
'Content.Summary' => 'Content'
);
Using Content.Summary
nicely strips the HTML from the original value. However, the linebreaks are removed as well leaving all lines attached to eachother without a whitespace.
How can I strip HTML, but leave linebreaks intact (still hiding the html
tag)?
To preserve
tags in the summary:
private static $summary_fields = array(
'Title' => 'Title',
'ContentSummary' => 'Content'
);
private static $casting = array(
'ContentSummary' => 'HTMLText'
);
public function getContentSummary() {
$content = $this->dbObject('Content');
$value = str_replace('<br>', '__br__', $content->getValue());
$content->setValue($value);
return str_replace('__br__', '<br>', $content->Summary());
}
