Hi there, 
Having a WYSIWYG editor in K2 v2.3 is a welcome addition, however I came across a very annoying issue.

NicEdit has an unwanted function that I have not been ale to solve. By default NicEdit places a <br> in the content, might not sound like a problem until you start building complex templates you need the extra fields to remain empty in order for the php switch to work ie:

if(!empty($custom[0]->value))

Every time you edit/save/apply changes to a K2 item with an empty textarea extra field, NicEdit  places a <br> in the content of that textarea extra field. Anyone know how to make it go away permanently?

No solution on the NicEdit forums. 

Personally I'd like to see JCE replace NicEdit but that is not possible at present as far as I am aware.

Anyone else having this issue?

Can you just test for the
If not empty and if not exactly equall to ""

From SVN: (i dont know if is it finished...)

Hi William,

I did try building a switch but could only get it to hide the field. If I echo the field it did not respect the condition and output the also, perhaps I missed something in the switch?

Hi Lucas, I have been in contact with Ryan from JCE and he said he was working with the guys from K2 to try a fix for JCE but could not give me a timeframe on delivery. I will follow up and see how far along they are and let you know.

thanks for info

Ryan from JCE is of the opinion that the fix for JCE and extra fields is complete, but did advise that if it is on SVN we should use it at own risk.

If anyone can get hold of someone from K2 to see how safe we would be using it in production environment that would be great.
