I'm using tinymce which applies inline css for text colour etc. My issue is, if I apply colour change to some text tinymce produces the following:
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">asdf</span></p>
When I save this reply:
reply = current_user.reply_to_sender(receipt[messageIndex], params[:body])
... and check the database it has:
<p><span>asdf</span></p>
If I simply print params[:body] everything is fine, it's just the result of the save
Am I missing something here. I tried this without tinymce i.e. just put the html directly into a textarea with the same results so it's not tinymce.
Also I have tinymce in other areas of my app and it works fine with the same code
Turns out that it's down to the default behaviour of the reply_to_sender method in Mailboxer where sanitize_text is set to true
(Object) reply_to_sender(receipt, reply_body, subject = nil, sanitize_text = true, attachment = nil)
changing my method call to the following fixed this:
reply = current_user.reply_to_sender(receipt[messageIndex], params[:body], nil, false, nil)
