Special chars in CB fields and on the CB lists

18 years 1 month ago #7252 by hgr
Hi.

I have created a field named Companyname in CB

Some of my users has a company name with the AND character in it like :

Hair & Body

But if you input the & char it will be displayed in the user lists as &amp' as well if the user wants to update the profile.

So CB can not handle special chars.

Could you let me know what is done to fix this in the new version.

I'm currently using RC2, but have heavily modified it, and would rather just alter my php, than install the new version and redo all my changes.

Many thanks in advance

Sorry about that...that fix is not trivial.

But lots are fixed in 1.0 stable, including security enhancements. We strongly advice to upgrade.

You can either use a tool like WinMerge or use the plugin API for your additions.

But you can also look for other hacks posted to fix this RC2 issue in RC2, there are posts in other threads.

We don't support RC2 anymore (obsolete).
