Getting slashes (\) instead of quotes (' ")

[rwheeler]

Hi,

In the FAQ Manager and while creating pages, if a ' or " is used the system seems to change it and add \

Example:

7. Who is \"BBQ Bob\"?

instead of:

7. Who is "BBQ Bob"?

Any thoughts?

Does it display like that on your website or just in the FAQ Manager module within the admin tool?

[rwheeler]

It does display that way in the FAQ Manager, but not in the text fields of the manager when editing the question and answer.

Thanks,

Richard

What version are you running?

[rwheeler]

Current version: v4.9 r31, but the anomaly was present in previous versions.

Look in your template's folder. Is there customized pgm-faq_display.php in there?

[rwheeler]

There is, I modded the default type size to be a little bigger. The / vs ' issue did persist before adding the customized file though...

[Mike Morrison]

Okeydokey. I've fixed ths in the build code for the next wrap, but that won't help you because you've got a custom pgm-faq_display.php.

So in your case, open up your pgm-faq_display.php and put stripslashes() around $row['FAQ_QUESTION'] and $row['FAQ_ANSWER'], like so...

echo " ".stripslashes($row['FAQ_ANSWER'])."</div></font>\n";

Excellent!!! That worked, thank you very much.
