[SOLVED] CMS 1.6 - HTML tags inside {cms_selflink} tags

[stevew]

Hi,
Since updating to 1.6 HTML tags in links, e.g.

Code: Select all

{cms_selflink page="review_page" text="Review of <em>Les Misérables</em>"}

no longer work. Instead the tags are printed out on screen. I'm not using a WYSIWYG in the admin end.

Any idea what may be causing this?
TIA

Same here, all html codes are escaped so they're printed on the page.

This is it a big trouble?!?!

P.S. as workaround I've rolled back to 1.5.4 file /plugins/function.cms_selflink.php and all works again. Waiting for a patch

If by solution you mean use the style instead of {cms_selflink}, I don't really see that as a solution. It worked before, so why not now? And what if I have a site with a large number of {cms_selflink}-style links? Do I now have to change them all?
In any case, I understood there were certain advantages to the {cms_selflink} style, mainly that in certain circumstances links would be preserved despite moving or renaming pages (not too sure about that, but did read it somewhere once).

blast2007, thanks for your last post in that thread you mention. That "clears it up" in the sense of explaining why it doesn't work any more. I'll label this SOLVED.

If you want to use function.cms_selflink.php of 1.6 just comment out that lines 345,361,439 and it will works again
