Magento HTML tags are are copied to product description and description_sale

[Stefaan Ferket]

Magento allows to have HTML tags in product description and short_description (OpenERP description_sale).
These tags are copied to OpenERP when product is created.
Can we filter out all HTML tags when creating the product in OpenERP?

We use additional module magentoerpconnect.

Hello,

Thanks for the bug report.

Either we strip the HTML tags, either we use new fields for the HTML descriptions (but they won't necessarily be integrated with the rest, such as the reports...).

Hints:

We prefer to strip the HTML tags, that would allow us to keep using the functionality (e.g. reports) that we already have.

Hi,

Please do not see this as issue, when you activate the widgets html or pad for the description in openerp it really works fine. We will use it.

I would prefer to set an option to Storeview, if it should import html or not. In reference to that option parameter you could overwrite the product view field description + widget="html"
Possible you will find a method, which replaces the media variable of magento in that description string with the complete path information so that images in openerp from description would be integrated correctly too.
