Thanks a lot for pointing this out.<br /> You've been a great help.</p> <p>Thanks, Han </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-field-cut-off-after-201-characters#post-71325 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:54:56 +0000 Chris Hajer 71325@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm guessing that there are just carriage returns in the paragraphs, and those need to be converted to HTML. Try the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php" rel="nofollow">nl2br function</a> before you echo the value:</p> <pre><code>[php] echo nl2br($entryfield[&#39;field_id&#39;]);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-field-cut-off-after-201-characters#post-71320 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:41:34 +0000 hegeman 71320@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your response Chris. I have come a long way now using this function. One additiional question... is there a way to make it show the paragraphs that are in the field. Now it's just one big block of text... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-field-cut-off-after-201-characters#post-71317 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:32:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 71317@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The longer text fields are stored in the rg_leads_long table. You probably want to use this function:</p> <pre><code>[php] get_field_value_long($lead, $field_number, $form, $apply_filter=true)</code></pre> <p>It's defined in forms_model.php around line 2431 if you'd like to take a look at how it works. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-field-cut-off-after-201-characters#post-71315 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:31:56 +0000 hegeman 71315@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok, found a solution in the forum after all, see:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/data-paragraph-text-missing#post-4575" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/data-paragraph-text-missing#post-4575</a><br /> and<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/rgformsmodelget_leads-returns-short-entry-text" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/rgformsmodelget_leads-returns-short-entry-text</a><br /> and<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-gravity-forms-directory-missing-argument-3" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-gravity-forms-directory-missing-argument-3</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-field-cut-off-after-201-characters#post-71301 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 10:55:55 +0000 hegeman 71301@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I use the function RGFormsModel::get_leads($form_id) to retrieve form entries. I loop trough this with a foreach function and than echo the field content using something like $entryfield['field_id']. This all works fine except for one thing.<br /> In a text field the content get's cut off after 201 characters. The content is in the database, it just does not show up.<br /> What can I do to make it show?</p> <p>Thank you </p>
