break characters <br> automatically inserted in results classic grid

[jscott]

Despite the manual setting of the 'Min width (in px) of the results grid column' variable in the Forms Configurator, some element of business logic word wraps the column content by inserting <br> characters to achieve a column width of 200 px.

The second row of the example below shows 'Comments" column content that is automatically padded with <br> characters:

I 'eliminated' the break characters using photoshop to illustrate where the breaks are being inserted, and how the content should look:

I think the functions beginning at Lines 6432 and 8640 may have something to do with this, but I have not been able to figure out what the issue is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello James,
you can adjust the parameter $word_wrap_col in config.php, probably the default value (25) is too low for you.

Best,

Many thanks Eugenio, setting $word_wrap_col in config.php to 250 resolved the issue.

Eugenio, a follow-up question. Where is the code that adds the <br> because I would like to add a couple   to indent the next line.

Thanks again,

James

Hello,
in /include/business_logic.php
this is the line

$displayed_part = wordwrap($field_value, $word_wrap_col, "\n", $enable_word_wrap_cut);

you should add your   after \n, because then the \n is replaced by a <br> later.

If you need a more granular/clean approach, you could create your own custom formatting function.

Best,

Thanks very much Eugenio, that solves the problem.

I tried setting $word_wrap_col = '250'; in config.php
but still still see all text fields wrapping after 25 characters in classic grid.

Are there any other steps I should try?

Hello,
have you also set a value for "Min width (in px) of the results grid column" in form configurator?

Despite $word_wrap_col, the browser can decide to keep the column shorter if you don't set a min width.

Best,

Thanks Eugenio

Setting $word_wrap_col = '250'; in config.php
and then inputting
Min width (in px) of the results grid column : 250

Does the job.

Details are the spice of life.
