Okay now I really need to get some sleep. Just noticed in the Find and Replace plugin that it allows for regex.

A very quick test and I came up with this :

{exp:replace find="&(?!lt;|rt;|amp;)" replace="&" regex="yes"}
<a href="http://www.example.com?test=one&two=two&ampthree=three">http://www.example.com?test=one&two=two&three=three</a>
{/exp:replace}

{exp:replace find="&(?!lt;|rt;|amp;)" replace="&" regex="yes"}
{event_map_url}
{/exp:replace}

Seems to do the trick I think. I’m off to bed now. hope it helps.

Best wishes,

Actually, you could further specify the regex pattern to ignore all entities and only replace rogue ampersands (untested, but I think it’ll work):

{exp:replace find="&(?!#?[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,6};)" replace="&" regex="yes"}
...
{/exp:replace}

Yep that as well 😉

Was late last night so I was being quick (maybe that translates to lazy though 😉 )

Thanks for such a great plugin by the way!! 😊

Wow that’s brilliant, thanks Mark and Low 😊

No problem at all. Thanks to Lowe for making the plugin in the first place though 😊

Hopefully Justin won’t have started anything on this one yet Derek?

Justin’s plugin will do a bit more, making sure that supplied URLs are valid in other ways as well.  Thanks for stepping in with that, Low!

No problem, glad I could help.

I am jealous of the regex skills around here!  Glad all is very nicely squared away.  We good to close this one out?

Well actually I found it on the net that one but I have been trying to brush up on it all a little bit. Glad that it helped out though.

Derek was just wondering what else will be done with Justin’s plugin? You mentioned making sure they are valid in other ways. Just wondering what you meant if you don’t mind.

You’ll just need to wait on Justin, Mark. 😉

Okay, ‘nuff said 😊

We good to close this one out?

Fine by me 😊

😉  Closing this one out.  And looking forward to the plugin!
