Are you asking how to remove the <p> </p> tag in the article editor?
If yes, here is the solution.

In the administrator, go to Extentsions -> Plugin Manager -> Editor-TinyMCE
In "Parameters" panel, find "New Lines"
Change it to "BR Elements"

Make sure not to hit enter at the end of your last paragraph.

I've encountered the same (frustrating) problem. I'm using Joomla 1.5.17 with the rhuk_milkyway template. Everytime I save my article, it add three lines of <p> </p> and the article is consequently full of long spaces. I've tried the solution suggested by trivial2k but it didn't work for me. Any ideas?

I found a solution to this, basically you want to add another parameter to the Editor - TinyMCE plugin.

You want to find the tinymce.xml file in "plugins/editors" and find

Code: Select all

<param name="newlines" type="list" default="0" label="Newlines" description="Newlines will be made into the selected option">
			<option value="1">BR Elements</option>
			<option value="0">P Elements</option>
		</param>

Your going to add this line under the last <option> tag

Code: Select all

<option value="-1">Nothing</option>

Basically this just makes another option in the menu for newlines and obviously we want it to not put anything so we do -1 as the value.

Works for me

If Joomla is adding a paragraph tag or quotation / quote, or stripping any code from your articles, the problem is probably not the editor that you are using. The problem is Joomla's built in filtering that is intended to prevent users from entering malicious code into articles. In order to disable this filtering, do this:
in Joomla back end, click through: article manager...options (on menu bar)...text filters (on tab bar) ...(scroll down to) superusers and select "no filtering"

Thanks, by doing this though, would we be able to add any type of html code into the post/article and have it displays properly on the front end page?
I ask because by default, Wordpress does not allow us to use PHP code into the html section of creating a page/post.

Thanks

Changing the new line element from <p> to <br> in the tinymce plugin page solved this annoying issue, just remember to backspace existing <p> tags
