[Solved] CGBlog: using " in title not possible

[joxyzhan]

Hello,

When adding a new blog post in the backend where the title includes the character " everything seems okay... The blog post is published and listed correctly in the backend with title and content. But when opening the blogpost to make edits I realize that the Title field is empty...! (And therefor cannot be commented by readers in the frontend, that is how I found out).

Why?
I am quite sure I didn't cause this myself by messing around with the code...?
How to fix?

Using CGBlog version 1.9.8 (and CMSMS 1.11.2.1)

Checking the templates in CGBlog and CGFeedback and googling around for answers I suspect that it could all be related to differences in snippets of code like:

Code: Select all

{$entry->title|escape}
{$entry->title|escape:htmlall}
{$entry->title|htmlspecialchars}
{$input_comment|htmlspecialchars}
{$input_comment|html_entity_decode:$smarty.const.ENT_QUOTES}

...and such. That I (as relative newbie) cannot completely comprehend.

But those are all from templates - and my problem with the CGBlog backend Title field has to be managed "under the hood" right?

Just tried on a live site of mine, because I didn't believe you

But you are right

Seems the system truncates titles after a " mark. I checked the forge for bug reports (always worth doing) and indeed this is a known bug - that means the developer is aware:

http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/bug/view/8142

It would help if you added a comment to that bug report stating your CMSMS version (higher than the reported bug).

In the meantime I suggest a workaround, e.g. using single quotes '

Thanks for your response Paul! Good thing you tried it yourself.

Yeah I changed to '' (that is a double ' ) to make it work this time... Hope the customer wont notice it

Posted a comment in the bug report.
