My users tend to write in paragraphs, as do I, and the K2 comments are proving distracting since they strip out line breaks.

I would like to see if this can be fixed before the next release. Does anyone know where I might start looking in the code to solve this?

Hi. This cannot be accepted as a bug as this is how it was designed to work. So it is a feature request for a next release. We will take this under serious consideration. The file that saves the comment is components/com_k2/models/item.php, function comment. Thanks.

Thanks for adding it as a request.

I noticed that the line breaks are stored in the database, so I'm hoping I can just use nl2br function to replace the returns with HTML breaks upon render.

Fixed! Just changed components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php to set up a new $brkinsert string and set it equal to nl2br($comment->commentText). Then, echo $brkinsert.

Works great, and I now have paragraphs in my comments!

Hi,

Could you be more specific with this for those of us who are new to programming. Where and exactly what should we write? I am also interested in adding line breaks to the extra fields text areas. Will this work for that?

thanks.
