tinymce adding p tags automatically?

Question

Im using tinymce and saving it to a database.

When I edit the saved content using tinymce and save again, it inserts a p tag at the beginning.

Editing the content over and over again leaves a large gap at the beginning of the content.

DOes anyone know a fix?

Answer 1

TinyMce automatically add "<p>" in new lines. You can set this option in tinyMce initialization like this:

  tinyMCE.init({
      mode : "textareas",
      theme : "advanced",
      force_br_newlines : false,
      force_p_newlines : false,
      forced_root_block : '',
  });

Hope it will help

For me it worked by making "force_br_newlines : true" instead of false.

 tinyMCE.init({
      mode : "textareas",
      theme : "advanced",
      force_br_newlines : true,
      force_p_newlines : false,
      forced_root_block : ''
  });

I hope it helps

I am sure that @Fonski answer is correct but thought I would update this for anyone else that did was confused as to where to put the code. I placed the following in my _config.php file to get it to work:

$defaultEditorConfig = HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms');
$defaultEditorConfig->setOptions(
    array(
        'mode'              => 'textareas',
        'theme'             => 'advanced',
        'force_br_newlines' => false,
        'force_p_newlines'  => false,
        'forced_root_block' => ''
    )
);

Note: If you just want to remove the p tag that automatically wraps image tags (etc) all you need to set is the 'forced_root_block' => '' option.
