HTML filter in accordion

francus641

Hi, I'm trying to format the text in the accordion in the "services" articles, but a filter is stripping away all the formatting (es. or >strong>).

Can you tell me how to prevent this from happening?

I see that the question has already been done here:

https://www.joomlart.com/forums/d/51260-html-code-in-extra-field-faq

but without an answer.

In extra field present in layout "services", both FAQ and Service Benefits, any html is deleted when you save.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Hi Francus,

By default, Joomla's textarea type uses a safe filtering mode that removes most HTML for security reasons.

You can update your XML file to include the filter attribute on the relevant textarea fields, there are 2 values you can consider:

filter="safehtml" to permit common safe HTML tags (including , , , , , lists, and basic tables) while still providing some protection against malicious code
filter="raw" if you need unrestricted HTML (e.g., scripts or arbitrary tags) -- but this is less secure and not recommended unless necessary.

For example, you want to allow these HTML tags: , tags for the Answers of the Questions field:
1/ Open file: [root]/templates/ja_vega/etc/extrafields/services-info.xml
2/ Look for this field and add the filter attribute as below:

<field
	name="question_desc"
	type="textarea"
	label="TPL_SERVICES_QUESTION_DESC_LABEL"
	description="TPL_SERVICES_QUESTION_DESC_DESC"
	filter="safehtml"
/>

Hope this helps.
