Adding a Text Field with Editor & Storing HTML Txt

Hello,
I am developing a website where I need to allow users to submit basic formatted text in the payment form. I have successfully added the default Joomla editor by editing the "fields.php" file in the helpers directory and swapping out the textarea form code for the appropriate code to display the editor. This works fine. The issue I am running into is that Joomla strips out all HTML code from the submitted results. My understanding is that this happens when the form data is processed and the JRequest::getVar command is used to look up the submitted formatted text. JRequest::getVar will be delete the HTML unless it has been specifically told not to using the JREQUEST_ALLOWHTML option. I have searched the payment form code and am finding quite a few places with the jRequest code.

My question is where do I need to look in order to find where custom field textarea field data is processed? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I resolved my own question. It turned out to be a simple formatting issue. For the jRequest::getVar statements, in the textarea section of the fields.php file I had to include included ", 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWHTML)" at the end of the statement. I had originally not included the post and string options. The HTML formatted text from the editor is now being passed through.

Yeah ! That's the correct solution ! Thanks for sharing it here !

Can you show the complete solution to do that ?

How come you don’t add as a choice for your component ?
