Linebreaks with Custom Fields?

[nrep]

I've got a custom field that is a multi-line textbox, but when I try and use this information in a template by calling {$user.customFields.fieldname} it shows without the linebreaks.

Is there a way to include the linebreaks? The template for the info tab on the profile page seems to include some sort of HTML version of the customfields - but I can't figure out how to do this.

encountered the same issue today, did you find any solution yet?

Unfortunately not - although I did have partial success by wrapping the field contents in a [pre] tag

{xen:raw $user.customFields.fieldname}

{xen:raw $user.customFields.fieldname}

nope, that doesn't work for multi-lines. It shows the fieldcontent ofc but it strips linebreaks aso so it's not really usable.

.fieldValueHtml might help (template: custom_field_view )but I wasn't able to get it working yet...

Try {xen:string nl2br, $user.customFields.fieldname} and use new lines instead of <br />.

Checking if that is correct now, will edit in a sec if not.

ah, works perfectly with default multi-lines, many thanks Robbo!

Works perfectly - thankyou!
