Some links displayed as text in TYPO3 - typo3

I have added links to a list of sentences in my TYPO3 backend.
In the frontend, some of these sentences are rendered properly, with a link to them. However, some others are rendered as plain text, with the tag visible.

View of the rendered text in the frontend
What caused the problem, and how can I correct it?

your description of the error is not good enough to give a good answer. please explain more in detail what you are doing: templates, configuration, ...
for the moment I guess: you use fluid-templates and have fluid-variables which contain the rendered content.
instead of outputting the content of a field directly (like {fieldname}), where the rendering is done by fluid you need to output the already rendered output without interfering of fluid (rtefieldname->f:format.raw()}) as for RTE-fields the content is already rendered in html. otherwise all specialchars are converted to show as given.

It might be that the <a> tags aren't closed properly.
Try checking the HTML code from the backend (by clicking the <> button in the backend). See if the </a> tag is where it should be, at the end of each sentences.
You need to find the difference between the lines that work and the lines that don't.

Typo3, set title for Mask Elements

I have a typo3 server and using the mask extension. When an editor creates a new mask element, there isnt a title in the list view. Its always "no title":
I checked the database and found the titles in the db in the field: tt_content.header but no way to set them automatically oder manually by an editor. Anyone have an idea how the title can be set automatically? Oder manually by an editor?
ext:mask has the option to reuse existing fields of tt_content for new kinds of content elements (CEs). use it to get the bonus of better interoperability with TYPO3.
TYPO3 has a logic how to show records (content elements) in the backend. one of it is the usage of the fields header and description. if you reuse these fields your CEs will look like others automatically.
If you use other fields you need to declare your fields for usage AND in case you change the kind of a CE from your kind to e.g. TEXT with Media the header stays.
Especially header is handled in the layout/partial of FSC or CSC global for any kind of CE. if the handling/rendering is changed (e.g. special layout) in an installation your CEs need special effort if they have their own building of the header.
Try to use the same fields as existing CEs and your life can be easier.
I'm having the same issue, but I found a way around it for the meantime. I edit the mask element and chenge its type to something elseโ€”like Textโ€”where I can set the title. After typing the title I save it, then change back to mask element and save again. This works by me without losing the content of the mask element. This way I can see the title in typo3 backend when I view as list or page or add content from another page. As I said, it doesn't solve the problem, but can help until there is a proper solution.
EDIT
I've just found another solution. You can add the title field to en existing mask element. To do it, go to ADMIN TOOLS > Mask, click your mask element to edit it. Add a new item by dragging the ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด item (the one on top of the list of available items) to the right where your items are. Then in General under ๐—–๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฑ dropdown choose an ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด named:
๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: (๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ)
Save, close, go to your page to add your title. This still doesn't add the title field automatically to all mask elements, but it is a step forward.
If anywhere, you should be able to set a static title automatically in your page tsconfig. You could to something like
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.[title of your mask element].tt_content_defValues {
header = My Awesome title
}
Personally, I usually give every mask element a header field and ask content editors to fill it in.

Hope, this helps.

How to completely change the css position of an element on the page to appear in another part of the document flow?

I have a long form with text inputs, and in the middle of it, I'd like to insert a jquery upload (blueimp) file plugin which uses a form element. I know that nested forms are not valid markup. How can I use CSS to visually position a form element inside another form element without doing some messy absolute positioning?
It seems like using an iframe to generate the content, and then inserting the iframe into the middle of the original form works quite well. I'm unfamiliar with the caveats of iframes but everything seems to work fine.

Non Editable element in TinyMCE (related to Mathjax)

I'm building an extended editor around TinyMCE and I have to implement a Math formula module. I've choosen Mathjax for formula rendering, using plain html/css. So far, I've managed to create a plugin that popup a panel with a textarea, you can enter your latex in, there's a preview in the panel.
Once you validate the formula, it's injected into tinymce content. This new content is A LOT of spans with inlined styles, and OF COURSE, I don't want tinymce to be able to edit that directly. (sidenote: we only store latex, not the rendered html output from mathjax)
Basically, I want that a piece of html inside Tinymce to be ignored totally, but displayed in place. I want my carret to be able to move before that piece of html, and after, but not inside.
The "non editable content" plugin seems to be close of what I'm looking for, but it has some limitation (you can't ADD no editable content on the fly, having nested html content inside an element flagged as "non editable" broke some things, etc.)
Is someone could help with that ? I started to tweak the non editable plugin, but it's really really hard to understand existing code. Has someone already did something like that, or is there another third party plugin ?
thanks

How to create some custom box into a Typo3 web page?

I am very new in Typo3 world (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and I have some doubts related a thing that has been requested by a customer that use Typo3 for its site
He ask me to create some colored boxes into a specific page. Each of these boxes simply must contain text or links.
How can I do this?
I am thinking that I can solve in the following way (but I have not idea if this is a GOOD solution):
In the backend I go in the Page section and I open the settings related to the page that I have to modify
Here I have 3 columns (Left, Normal, Right) and for example I add a NEW Regular Text Element into this central column
Now appear to me the wysiwyg editor, so I click on the Toggle text mode icon and I pass from the wysiwyg mode to the pure HTML editor's mode and now I will create some div tags (settings the CSS settings for the background color and the dimension) that rappresent my boxes (and into these div I put their textual contents).
Is it a possible solution or is it a bad solution?
Tnx
Andrea
You may either use the RTE typoscript config to add some new paragraph styles, which will make the boxes or use the section_frame field in tt_content, a field called "frame" in the backend when you edit a content record. Both solutions would just need some typoscript (which you will deal with very often in the TYPO3 world) and CSS code.
If you need some more structure in the backend, there is also an extension for that called multicolumn. If you just need "more" columns in the backend (in combination with backend layouts) to achieve different looks, this can also be done by adding some typoscript config. To give you a more precise recommendation, some sort of scribble or design screenshot of what you want would be nice.

need to style input from a form with css in real time

Ok im struggling to find anything on this as im probably searching the wrong keywords.
I have a backed form thats use to display content on a page. When entering the details i want to be able to use a basic text editor to style the text, like bold, bullets, underline.
On top of that i would also like to allow them to wrap section in paragraph tabs, apply a certain style i.e style id="x".
Its more for backend so it doesnt have to be really user friendly but if there was an uncomplicated way of showing the styles in the form as i apply them, basically a WYSIWYG view. If not i will settle for applying the styles without having to see all the hmtl and css tags in the editor but when the information is passed via the INSERT query it will show pass all the relevant code like My Style and so on.
Now im quite happy to spend the time learning how to do this if you point me in the right direction but i have no idea what keywords to search. Ideally if there is a script out there i can just edit to my needs would be great too rather than starting from scratch.
Finally since im learning php and mysql still keeping it dumbed down will help and also since my values im passing is going to be full of characters the code wont like what functions should i look up to pass the code and content into the database to avoid breaking the code
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it seems you can achieve what you want using an editor like for example TinyMCE in combination with JQuery?
With JQuery you can show/hide items and ander your css like
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","red");
});
