When a user enters a comment, and breaks their text apart into multiple paragraphs, the line breaks are stripped when the comment is saved - is there any way to save these line breaks so that it displays how the user intended?

I would like to know this as well.

The line breaks are already saved - they show up when looking in the database.

What you need to do is change your components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php template to convert the line breaks to HTML breaks.

nl2brfunction.txt

This is great, thank you Travis!!

Thanks, this got it solved for me! Took a bit more, because I was using a RocketTheme template which uses template overrides for K2. At first I was wondering why the "trick" didn't work.

For those using RocketTheme templates, look in: /joomla_root/templates/your_RocketTheme_template/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

In the item.php file, put the code as shown in nl2brfunction.txt

Thanks.
is there any way to use this to add line breaks in the extra fields text?

Yes! It also worked for line breaks in the extra fields. I used this:


in the item.php.
Thanks again.
