[Solved] 1.6.1 Html Entities when using cms_selflink

[SideshowBob]

Hello everyone,

I have recently upgraded from 1.2.4 to 1.6.1 and I have noticed an issue when using cms_selflink.

On 1.2.4 the below code :

Code: Select all

{cms_selflink page='about' text='<img src="uploads/images/mylogo.gif" alt="My Alt text" />'}

would produce this html:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/about.htm" title="My Alt text"><img src="uploads/images/mylogo.gif" alt="My Alt text" /></a>

Since the upgrade, the output html is:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/about.htm" title="My Alt text" ><img src="uploads/images/mylogo.gif" alt="My Alt text" /></a>

Clearly this doesn't render correctly in a browser.

I have replicated this behavior on a clean installation of 1.6.1 but I don't know if this is a bug or user failure but it seems that anything within the 'text' parameter has htmlentities applied which clearly isn't desirable.

Thoughts and fixes welcome
Bob

Ah, thanks Blast. I've no idea how I missed these posts when searching 

Should/has this been reported as a bug?

I can't find an open bug in the forge, therefore I think this is new "feature".
