Example : $mystring = "Hello, this is <b>bold</b> and this is <XXX>a factbox</XXX>, ..."; $parser = new eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser( $contentObjectID, false, 0 ); $document = $parser->process( $mystring ); then I got that in the XMLtext attribute : Hello, this is <strong>bold</strong> and this is a factbox, ... Well, the parser converts the tag "B" into "STRONG" because of the public variable $InputTags in the class eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser. Take a look : class eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser extends eZXMLInputParser { var $InputTags = array( 'b' => array( 'name' => 'strong' ), .... I've tried to redefine InputTags by adding "XXX" => array("name" => "factbox") but nothing happened. Who can see a solution ? And, afterwards, how to handle parameters of custom tags? Let's say I've a custom tag named "img" with parameters "src" and "alt", my template file is OK and I'm able to create that custom tag in the editor (it appears as a blue rectangle) and when I publish it all is OK, the image is displayed as expected. However, importing the following code with PHP fails miserably. $mystring = "This is <b>bold</b> and that is an image : <img src="http://URLofAnImage" alt="alternative text" />"; Any idea? Thanks in advance. TOMHTML, French user of eZ Publish.

Hi,
I'm using eZ Publish 4.0 and I've to fill the eZXMLtext attribute of an object with HTML data. But I'm unable to add custom tags.

Example :

$mystring  = "Hello, this is <b>bold</b> and this is <XXX>a factbox</XXX>, ...";

$parser = new eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser( $contentObjectID, false, 0 );

$document = $parser->process( $mystring );

then I got that in the XMLtext attribute :

Hello, this is <strong>bold</strong> and this is a factbox, ...

Well, the parser converts the tag "B" into "STRONG" because of the public variable $InputTags in the class eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser. Take a look :

class eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser extends eZXMLInputParser
{
     var $InputTags = array(
          'b'       => array( 'name' => 'strong' ),
          ....

I've tried to redefine InputTags by adding "XXX" => array("name" => "factbox") but nothing happened.
Who can see a solution ?

And, afterwards, how to handle parameters of custom tags?
Let's say I've a custom tag named "img" with parameters "src" and "alt", my template file is OK and I'm able to create that custom tag in the editor (it appears as a blue rectangle) and when I publish it all is OK, the image is displayed as expected.

$mystring = "This is <b>bold</b> and that is an image : <img src="http://URLofAnImage" alt="alternative text" />";

Any idea?
