any help to remove it ?

Are you sure there isn't a blank line at the beginning of the "extended text"? Edit the story and look because I think that is your problem.

Palbin · Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2010 8:54 pm

Also check the end of the first part for a blank line.

The easiest way to do what you want to do is to change the line you edited earlier

Code:

$bodytext = $hometext . $bodytext;

to

Code:

$bodytext = $bodytext;

and just retype the hometext into the top of the bodytext. This would be more like using the home text as a preview of the article and use the body text as the actual article.

I don't think this belongs in this forum. Which version of RN are you using andylau? Thanks.

The tags are generated by the wysiwyg editor. You are using two separate instances of the editor so you will have the tags there unless you change the way the fckeditor closes text. This could cause all kind of issues with regard to how the text is rendered on the site.

What I suggested was when you post a story in the news, type what you want displayed on the front page in the Story Text text area and type what you want displayed on the articles page in the Extended Text text area. The $hometext is the Story Text and the $bodytext is the Extended Text. If you remove the $hometext from the code mentioned above, you will be left with only the Extended Text (if used) on the article view which will be formated with out the extra tags that are causing the unwanted spaces. If you do not use the Extended Text, the articles view will be the Home Text.

i use RavenNuke_v2.40.00 . nuken i can't use the code like u say. otherwise i lost the home text when they click on readmore...

Another way would be to change the tag in your themes css to something like this

Code:

p{margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0;}

Palbin · Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 8:58 am

I tested this on my site you should not be getting a unless you have a blank line. The wysiwyg editor does not add tags to the beginning or end unless you do.

Edit: You are correct Palbin. My bad.

i do just write some text but if i look in source there are everyline there.
can i post my site here u can check ?

Palbin · Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:50 pm

Yes every line has tags. I thought you where talking about have " " in between your home and body text. If you do you have a blank line. If you are talking about removing it in general, not sure why you would be, that is not possible.

I didn't give you the complete css to remove the space, sorry. Try using this in your themes style.css.

Code:

p{margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 0;}

The wysiwyg editor automatically 'cleans' the formatting to show paragraphs. To stop it creating paragraphs use SHIFT + ENTER in the editor for a new line, this will force the editor to use instead of paragraphs.
