phpwcms Support Forum

Hello,

I have an article title that should read "Get <online/>". Entering this and saving it, the "<online/>" part gets truncated.

When I try to circumvent the issue (not letting it look like a tag) and write "Get <online/>", it is not truncated, but the final result in the rendered web page is now (a visual) "Get <online/>" as well, i.e. my quoting has been quoted by phpwcms as well so that the text shows verbatim as entered in the article title field.

How do I have to enter an article title of "Get <online/>" so that it neither gets truncated nor shows in quoted text from at rendering time?

Regards, Christian.

Hi
I just tried it myself - it really isn't working, but:
I also tried something like and this is working - graphical solution and not really what you want...?

Aaah,
you also can do it with unicode and this will be displayed in the front end.
But you should never open this page again in the backend: phpwcms is rewriting these into Get<online/>and saving the page lets your efforts vanish in the haze...
even this board here is rewriting the unicode, so here it is again: Get & # 60 ; online / & # 62 ;

Thanks for the one-time workaround - yes, I did not try character references (which is what you mean by Unicode, I think).

I know that correct quoting and unquoting (and this in matching pairs) can be a nightmare, but this then seems to be a bug to me. I'll see if I can find some solution by modifying the source code.

Thanks for trying (and also the GT solution - I'll try that later...)

Regards, Christian.

If you can "compromise", these all work:

Get < online />
Get < online/ >
Get < online/>

Top one is ~close~

This gets the same result: Problem w/both methods is certain special characters cannot be followed immediately by another character.
Maybe being disallowed to avoid conflict (confusion?) as it relates to HTML tag conventions, WYSIWYG editors, etc. -and/or- maybe other valid reasons.
