Remove default <p><br></p> that summernote inserts? about summernote-cleaner HOT 3 CLOSED

No I haven't. Apparently, how content editable works, it needs to have something present to work correctly.
However, I remove it server side:

$data=isset($_POST['data'])?filter_input(INPUT_POST,'data',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING):filter_input(INPUT_GET,'data',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(strlen($data) < 12 && $data == '<p><br></p>'){
    $data=str_replace('<p><br></p>','',$data);
}

$data is the posted data from the editors text area.

This strips the <p><br></p> server side.

I might actually have a bit of a poke around the web, and see if there's a better solution.

Thank you for the response (and apologies for my delay in following up). Thanks for posting this - if you do find a solution that can be added to summernote-cleaner, that might be a nice option. If I find one, I'll be sure to make a pull request.

For anyone using Summernote with Django and dealing with the same problem, my server side solution was this simple function:

def remove_summernote_breaks(text):
    unwanted_text = '<p><br></p>'
    if len(text) > 11:
        if text[:11] == unwanted_text:
            text = text[11:]
        if text[-11:] == unwanted_text:
            text = text[:-11]
    return text

Then on your models, you can extend the clean function with something like this:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    sometext = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    # fields
    def clean(self):
        super(MyModel, self).clean()
        self.sometext = remove_summernote_breaks(self.desc)

There's probably a more elegant way, but this works in a basic way.
