    How can I get an apostrophe to show up properly in an album title?

    http://parallaxwebdesign.com/projects/waterline/plogger/index.php?level=collection&id=1

    See Red Butte Children's Garden? It's inserted a backslash - can I get around this?

    This is fixed in the nightly builds. You could give it a try with these versions or wait for the official next release.

    Correction: It's not entirely fixed, I just noticed that and placed a new ticket on the trac pages.

    PHP uses the escape character '/' in order to properly insert apostrophes without cutting the SQL query short. Before displaying text pulled from the database, you should use stripslashes on it (PHP function that removes escape characters).

    Apprently we've forgotten to do this is a few spots, but you can easily fix it yourself if you want.

    Line 532 in gallery.php
    $output.= $row["name"].'

    change that to:
    $output.= SmartStripSlashes($row["name"]).'

    You can add that SmartStripSlashes function to any string output where you see the escaped apostrophe.

    I had the same problem with the comments under photos in version b2.1:

    line 909 of gallery.php:

    $output .= "<p>".htmlspecialchars($row["comment"])."</p>";

    I changed to:

    $output .= "<p>".htmlspecialchars(SmartStripSlashes($row["comment"]))."</p>";

    Hope that may be of help...

    I can write code!

    *so proud*

    :) :) :)

    because you are not on the 2006 plogger. Welcome to the future. = P

    I believe this control is now found in the plog-functions.php

    @chewbears

    Thanks! :P

    But that line is not in the plog-functions.php either.
    Any suggestion?

    THat exact line will not be there but the function will still be there. You won't be able to just search and find it you will have to look through it. You will want to look in functions that generate the album title so you can start by looking for parts that have "album" in it.
