When copying and pasting I often find that it adds other tags (i.e. span tags with font styles) that we don't want
We've tried copying into TextEdit and pasting from there, but sometimes the formatting still changes.
Is there anyway to either keep the font completely consistent (i.e. ignore the spans etc) or maybe adding a 'Remove formatting' button to the editor?
Thanks
pasting it into a notepad should remove all formats, then copy from notepad into your text editor
blizeH, you'll need to put the resident editor into Source mode (toggle the button off the top left corner of the box) in order to silence the mess that wysiwyg mode will make, and Save while in Source mode, when you insert streamlined text. You can disable the wysiwyg editor outright but you might not want to go that far initially. As MarketInSG said, you can put the text into a pure ascii text editor, but that will probably not strip tags -- with find/replace you can get rid of all tags (you mentioned ignorning span and so forth), then when the text is cleansed of what you do not want, you can copy/paste it into the box and Save it. In Source mode you can also exercise control over whatever tags you DO want. At the very least wysiwyg mode will pepper text with opening and closing <p> and </p> tags.
Hi,
I have OC3038 with the original wysiwyg CKEditor.
I have removed and re-indent all my products description codes, removing all those annoying <spans> and then after a few months I found out all of them gone back to where they were before!!! all the code is on one very long line again and now I have to buy a train ticket again to catch the end of it.
It made me to pull all my hair from my bald head and now wondered if someone out there can help me.
The problem is that CKEditor adds <span style="font-size: 14px;"> on all paragraphs and makes it very difficult to change them in future in case I decide to go to 16px and also I have already set my font size in stylesheet and would like to control them that way globally with ease.

I am using English OpenCart 3.0.3.8, Default Template/Theme, php 7.4, Latest Brave Browser (No Ads-Blocker, etc.)
You could investigate TinyMCE. As far as I'm aware that only adds <p></p> tags.parkookk wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 12:41 amHi,

I can't believe the other developers above don't know about the keyboard shortcut.
Instead of Ctrl + V use Ctrl + Shift + V. That will paste without any styles.

There are surprisingly quite a few end users who careless copy from dirty MS Word documents into the Opencart product description without giving it any further thoughts about the resulting potential issues. It's always best to have a modified CKEditor or Summernote editor which strips off the markup before pasting the text into the description.paulfeakins wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 6:59 pmI can't believe the other developers above don't know about the keyboard shortcut.

Yes loads of "normal" users do this - why would they understand code? But I'm shocked that more developers don't know the way to paste plain text only.
Is there an extension for this?

For Summernote I use this simple modification in the admin/view/javascript/summernote/opencart.js :
Code: Select all
......
},
callbacks: {
onPaste: function (e) {
var bufferText = ((e.originalEvent || e).clipboardData || window.clipboardData).getData('Text');
e.preventDefault();
document.execCommand('insertText', false, bufferText);
}
}

Very nice indeed.
