function zen_draw_textarea_field

[JeffD]

In 1.2x versions of ZC the function zen_draw_textarea_field was defined as:

function zen_draw_textarea_field($name, $wrap, $width, $height, $text = '', $parameters = '', $reinsert_value = true)

in the new 1.3x version it is defined as:

function zen_draw_textarea_field($name, $width, $height, $text = '', $parameters = '', $reinsert_value = true)

However when I search the latest 1.3.01 code base I find dozens of calls that still pass 'soft' as the second parameter. In all of these cases the zen_draw_textarea_field function fails. These calls will all need to be corrected I suspect...

Never mind...

I see that the admin version still passes $wrap so only contibutions that used the original version need to be changed...

Still I'm not sure why a decision was made to do this since removing this param breaks all existing contributions that call zen_draw_textarea_field ??

Not a good decision IMHO.

The wrap parameter has been deprecated and doesn't validate XHTML.

Yes, I understand that Kim... I was just suggesting in the future when a param is depricated, that leaving the parameter in the parameter list and just ignoring it would have been better than changing the function call parameters since that breaks any code that used the pre-1.3 call.

Thanks!
