I’m in the (very slow) process of transferring all my photos from Gallery to EE’s Gallery module. I’ve just posted a photo which includes a link in the caption but when I view the photo the link shows up as
<a >chapelry</a>
Where has the \ before the ” come from and how do I get rid of it? You can see the entry at http://www.thewholeshebang.org/index.php/gallery/image_full/199/
Thanks - Shelagh

I just did a test- couldn’t duplicate. It’s likely a setting issue. Go into the prefs for that gallery, look in ‘Caption formatting prefs’- it’s likely you’ve got autolinking on. If so, turn it off- see if that does the trick. That’s my first bet.

Auto-link was on, but turning it off hasn’t made any difference. I’ve had a look at the entry in the db vie phpMyAdmin and the \ characters aren’t there, it must be something EE is putting in.

It looks like it’s trying to escape the quotes, but EE automatically handles magic quote diffs. What build/version are you running? And for those caption prefs- what formatting do you have it set to?
#5 / Jul 18, 2007 11:05am
Formatting is set to xhtml. I’m running version 1.6.0, build 20070705. Interestingly in a couple of other captions I’ve used ” when quoting people and they’re fine - it’s only as part of a url it’s a problem.

Dang- I’m just not replicating, though the behavior looks a little different on my 20070708 build vs my 0627. There have been some changes with xss cleaning- I can’t swear this will fix it, but go ahead and upgrade to the latest. It will eliminate the possibility, at least. You’re urls are also ended up with the < encoded- hm.
If you edit the entry- is the link exactly like you typed it? Want to try pasting the contents of the template? It’s definitely doing odd things. If I don’t spot anything template wise that gives a hit, I’d say upgrading to the latest build is the next step.

If I edit the entry, everything looks as I typed it. The template is the default template, I haven’t touched any of them yet.

Can you post the code for the image as entered in the caption field? I’d like to test this on my site.

Here you go 😊

Even more fun, I can’t replicate this: http://www.lisajill.net/mementos/flashback/512/
Now you’re on 20070705 and I’m on 20070708 - so lets get on the first same build by you updating and see if it helps, we can go from there.
My settings are attached.

I just go to the download centre and grab the latest build? Do I need to grab MSM again too?
#12 / Jul 18, 2007 3:05pm
Nope, just the latest build of EE, and follow the build update instructions.
#13 / Jul 18, 2007 3:20pm
Yay! I upgraded and now the link shows correctly :D As always, thanks for your help.

You see what a difference 3 days makes?!?!? Glad you got that sorted =)
