HTML special codes in news categegory

Post by babel »

I need in the news-module to name a couple of categories. Works fine, except when using grave accent. For example:

Code: Select all

{news number='5' category='Personal branding,Werken aan je Carrière'}
only shows Personal branding. How can I make sure that Werken aan je Carrière wil also turn up?

News is a pretty basic module, and quite dated. The category names are essentially aliases so restricted in what they can contain.

If you only have a few, you could give them a simple name (alias) such as 'branding', then in your template add a more detailed title based on a check of the simple category name.

CGBlog, which is a fork of the News module, expanded on this a little bit by adding a field for a description of the category, but it's still a victim of age. Depending upon your setup and requirements, LISE might be another option as it distinguishes between the alias and title of a category.

The future does promise either an update or replacement for News, but not quite yet.
