Line breaks gone after migration

All the line breaks in my Profile fields are gone from my current 6.1.6 site. They look the same in the database, but display terribly. Example:

I have almost 3000 members, so even if I knew the solution I couldn't do it manually. Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Yeah, it's a known issue, and every release Boonex simply ignore it (there is a similar issue here at Unity too)

Here's a fix...

That one won't fix his current issue. In D6 the line brakes had a br tag. But D7 is stripping them out when pulling them out of the database. Becuse this was a migration from D6, all of the origional br tags are there instead of p tags.

As a result they are being displayed without the br and not being replaced with a p tag so that fix will work.

Exactly. Now there are no tags seperating the text, just white space in the code. The only thing I can think of is trying to replace the white space in the database with a <p> tag, if that's possible.

The br tags no longer exist in the database? Is that it?

If so, those got lost during migration. If those are still there and it just D7 stripping them out before rendering, then the br tags can be replaced with p tags easy enough.

Oops,, thought it was the paragraph styling issue.

I didn't have this issue when I migrated my site.

Did this happen as a result of the migration, or after the profile was edited?

IIRC, there is a setting in Tiny MCE relating to converting returns.

Would changing settings in Tiny MCE affect text already sitting in the database?

If I go into the database in D6 and look at the text in the Profile fields, there is no code, only text in paragraph form. On the page it displays with the paragraph returns. The same text in D7 is just one block of text. Is the database now supposed to have html tags?

Apparently D6 inserts <br> tags wherever there are line breaks in the Profile fields, and D7 doesn't.

Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
