When reading page content in the back end "&" is shown in stead of "&"

[Art-art]

Hi,

When asking for information on a page in the back-end the following information (amongst other things) is shown when WYSIWYG is turned off:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module=CustomContent}
{if $ccuser->loggedin() && $ccuser->memberof('forum_members')}

It's not about problems with the CustomeContent module. The problem is that:
I entered initially

Code: Select all

>

and it shows

Code: Select all

>

and

I entered initially

Code: Select all

&

and it shows

Code: Select all

&

When updating the page I have to replace all the "&-codes" with the original codes otherwise the update is rejected. Every time I want to edit, this is the case.

There must be a way to get rid of this. What is the solution?

Thanks, Arthur

Please post at least System Info with your report. Some context is needed.

Hi Pierre,

The sysinfo I can find is:
• Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch6-log
• Protocol version: 10
• MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
• MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci
• phpMyAdmin - 2.10.0.2
• MySQL client version: 5.0.51b
• CMSMS ver. 1.3.1
• Tiny MCE ver. 2.4.0

Hi Alby,

I didn't realize it might be related to TinyMCE. I searched for & and & etc. and couldn't find anything.
I checked now for Tiny and found both solutions pointing at changing settings in the Tiny MCE config as well as hinds towards the use of user defined tags containing the desired code.
Is your suggestion to the first, the last or some 3rd solution.

Both thanks, Arthur

The solution is: put logic code outside content

OK, I will try this. Thanks, Alby. I'll let you know if I managed to solve it like this.

Turn WSYIWYG off and then re-enter these characters.  Once wysiwyg is turned back on it will change it back to the character entity again.  Everytime you save or update the page, make sure wysiwyg is off and the logic characters are how they should be.

CMSMS ver. 1.3.1

Arthur, you are running an old, buguy, unsupported version...

Hi Pierre,

I know. Up till now I didn't manage to upgrade due to the SAFEMODE restrictions of 1.4.
I'm working on that as well....

Not exist difference between 1.3.X and 1.4.X for safe mode
There are more checks in 1.4.X but in install only

Hi Alby,

I know I can bypass this during installation but was warned that it might cause other problems.
I'm trying to get my provider to diable SAFEMODE.
Do you think I'd better move 1.4.1 anyway?

[alby]

Do you think I'd better move 1.4.1 anyway?

Sure, no differences from 1.3
