I've turned off the WYSIWYG editor and have been writing raw HTML. This isn't the "greatest" solution, but I haven't had a chance to try to re-enable it and figure out what a more correct solution is. I just don't think that TinyMCE has evolved to a point where you can intermix native HTML and the interpreted editor.

I am using 2.6.2. And what I am trying to do is stop it from removing my precious p tags. under wp-admin/js/editor.js,

I commented off two lines and replaced it with a new one

//content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*', 'mgi'), '');

//content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*\\s*', 'mgi'), '\n\n');

content = content.replace(new RegExp('\\s*\\s*\\s*', 'mgi'), '\n');

it now only removes tags with empty content. i hope. seems working for me. hope it helps someone.

Mario's solution (#6) worked for me. I'm on WP 2.3.3.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a solution for WP 2.5 and up? This worked great for version before that but I can't seem to find that code anywhere in the tiny_mce_config.php file. Did div code move?

That was some really good lighting.

Always very cool. The systems complexity makes me think of BattleTech or Blizzard artwork, and how I'm not sure an artist could ever conceive of the ridiculousness an engineer can create. "Vehicle Assembly Building goin' up!"

Seriously! As soon as I heard it, I wanted to watch the movie again =) Has to be one of the best themes as far as classic "feel good" tone and recognizability.

Re: ultimate line rider

I've tried Line Rider before. Initial conclusion: kinda cool, but a waste of time. Boy was I right!

(Yay, love for the Prince of Thieves theme.)

Just delete the p/-div[*] from the list then the will not be replaced by the tag. Worked here!

Re: fixing wordpress — editor removing div tags

j.daniel rivera — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:52:47 -0000

ok ppl, i found the solution. Where it mentions "p/-div[*]", replace it with this "div/-div". It work out for me.

Thanks everyone, this topic is obscure but highly important!

@Mario - I tried your fix since it makes sense however it didn't work for me either; good try though mate

@Simon - A brilliant (if not draconian) solution! I've done it an it works well!

Re: review of Jericho

Mark — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:41:05 -0000

Since the only other thing I watch on CBS is sports (March Madness, occasional basketball or football game) I don't recall Jericho being mentioned or pushed. CBS doesn't have quite the repertoire that Fox or ABC has. In general you are right though, I usually wait until after the season is complete to watch it. However that is not always the case.

Since I'm not a Nielsen household the only way my viewership is registered is by watching online, which I've done with Jericho Season 2 and Fox's Terminator series. Networks have to begin to realize that Nielsen isn't everything. Online viewers, DVD sales can also carry a show (albeit DVD sales are always at the end so its hard to sustain based on that alone). Personally, I feel very underrepresented in the Nielsen system =)

While its true Jericho has a long-mythology aspect, I disagree it's anything like Lost (at least Season 1 wasn't). I think success of shows like Lost, Wire, BSG (and in minimal respect 24, which I agree is trash), you don't have to play the single standalone episode as the only way to be successful. You can have story arcs while still incorporating good individual episodes.

I actually think Jericho will get another chance, given what happened with the writers strike. CBS purchased seven episodes, which is on par for what the rest of the shows on every network did this year. (Keeping my fingers crossed at least)

Re: review of Jericho

Jeff — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 05:20:16 -0000

Now, now... to be fair, Jericho has had its chance.

Can you really blame CBS' promotion? I caught plenty of exposure for Jericho leading up to its premiere in fall of 2006 (via HIMYM), and one of my friends watches it. Knowing you, I suspect you don't usually watch network shows as they air, which is the primary means for a network to advertise its shows. Were you even watching CBS during the summer/fall of 2006?

I passed on Jericho though, because it's another long-mythology network show that sprung up in the wake of Lost's success. Lost is a fluke. These shows tend not to survive because it requires audience attention and retention, which does not translate into ratings. By contrast, 24 is well-disguised garbage and you don't actually need to pay attention to any particular episode nor details.

If you don't have a strong Season 1, DVD sales are usually too late. Jericho had waning ratings through its first season, CBS cancelled it, a grassroots campaign prompted CBS to resurrect it, and then season ratings were even lower. Mistreatment like this (8 months between episodes) is typically a fatal blow, but it's not because the fans aren't watching.

What fans need to realize is that telling people to watch a show does absolutely nothing to save a show at all. The only way to save a show is to get a Nielsen household to watch it. The lack of Nielsen viewers is what tanks the show in the first place, and it's what will still tank the show the second time around.

Top Gear has an episode where a guy in a wingsuit raced a Cayenne across backcountry. There's also this other (crazy) guy who's going to attempt a wingsuit-only landing with no parachute.

Gattaca was a great film... and should have been recognized more (albeit, it was never one of my favorites).

Blade Runner's notoriety came much later I feel. It wasn't appreciated in its time (even by Ridley Scott until recently).

Re: fascinating

Jeff — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:18:26 -0000

Agreed about sci-fi. I was gonna write a post about Blade Runner, after seeing the remaster, but forgot to. Great sci-fi isn't actually about science or technology...

I'd also put Gattaca up for a Best Picture. If that isn't a fine cinematic exploration of being human, I don't know what is.

Mario,

That didn't work for me but if you just delete the tinymce folder from wordpress nothing breaks and you just get given the code option.

It appears that it isn't wordpress that changes the tags it is the WYSIWYG text editor, that's why posts can be fine first save and then screwed when you go back to edit and it opens via tinymce first.

Oh and don;t forget to clear your cache once it's changed

Re: fixing wordpress — editor removing div tags

Mario — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:26:11 -0000

Hey, I found a solution. Alter the tiny_mce_config.php file as follows.

change

'p/-div[*]

to

'p[*],-div[*]

'-' means remove empty elements
'p/div' means replace div by p
'[*]' means any attribute allowed

No luck yet. Still investigating...

Mark & John, did you find a resolution for this? It'd be great if you did.

Mark,
Did you have anything to do with the method in which SEM/YUMA data is generated? What changes were made in that process from legacy to AEP? I am having some difficulty in correlating SEM data and what the is coming down from the constellation in the Nav messages. If you respond please use my private email. Thanks

Let me know what you find... I need to spend time over the holidays upgrading, but if this hack no longer works, I might have to continue postponing it. Additionally, I wouldn't paste the line verbatim. It looks like the line got mangled during a previous database transition. The important thing is to remove the div part of the filtering... I'll download a copy of v2.3.1 tonight and take a peek at the tinymce code.

Re: fixing wordpress — editor removing div tags

John — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 10:34:22 -0000

This doesn't appear to work any longer with v2.3.1. I'm looking for a new fix for this and will post here when I find it.
