I have this block of javascript in a file.

[removed]
  var options, a;
    jQuery(function(){
      options = { serviceUrl:'{site_url}directory/suggest_names' };
      a = $('#query').autocomplete(options);
    });
[removed]

It renders just fine in v1.7
When I move it to v2.1.3 it renders:

[removed]
  var options, a;
    jQuery(function(){
      options = ;
      a = $('#query').autocomplete(options);
    });

Specifically note the “options = ” line.
I also tried hard coding the site_url.  For some reason EE is not rendering whats between the {} . Is there some way to escape the {}?  Weird that it doesn’t effect the other parts between {}.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

fyi I tried setting $config[‘protect_javascript’] = “y”;

Hi James,

Try adding the protect_javascript hidden configuration variable to your installation and see if that helps.

Hope that works and helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Hey Jim,

If you have no luck with Mark’s method, can you check the following configuration?

Go to Admin > System Administration > Output and Debugging Preferences

If the “Debug Preference” is set to “0”, change it to “1”. I believe this should fix your issue.

Hope this helps,
Chuck

(P.S some further reading on this particular issue on this comment by Derek Jones)

Thank You!!

It was the output and debugging pref. (now set to one)

I had already added the protect_javascript setting.

Regards,

Jim

Sorry didn’t see the fyi at the end of your original post. Must have totally overlooked that. Glad DBF got you up and running though.

Best wishes,

Mark

Glad to see that helped. Please post again as needed.
