Really?!

Nobody has any suggestions on which direction I should take to solve this. I've hit a dead end...

Update:

I found a solution and for future reference her it is. I haven't tested it extensively or gone live with it yet. But it looks like it will do the trick, other suggestions are still welcome!

in powercontent/modules/powercontent/action.php i added this function

 function htmlToXML($html) {
    $xml = $html;
    $xml = str_replace( "\r", "<br/>", $xml );
    
    $parser = new eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser(0,  false, false);
    $document = $parser->process($xml);
  if ( !is_object( $document ) ) {
      return null;
  }
    
    $domString = eZXMLTextType::domString($document);
    return $domString;
}

And then replaced

 $http->setPostVariable( $newPostVariable, $postValue );

with

 $dataTypeString = $dataMap[$possibleAttributeIdentifier]->attribute( 'data_type_string' );


 if ( $dataTypeString == "ezxmltext" )
 {
         eZDebug::writeNotice( 'Found XML block attribute: ' . $possibleAttributeIdentifier );    
         $postValue = htmlToXML(trim($postValue));
 }
$http->setPostVariable( $newPostVariable, $postValue );

PS: I'm still not getting namespaces on the line-tags but will look into that as well.

Hi Jon Arvid, 

While i do not know powercontent in-depth, it seems like your workaround/solution corresponds to a common need. How about pushing it into the extension directly ? 
You could request membership to the team there : http://projects.ez.no/powercontent/team/members (you need to be logged-in).

Cheers,
