I would like to add ad widgets to category pages, with a different widget per page. I added a text field to "categories" in the database via the admin panel. The idea is to add the widgets as part of the category setup/edit and display them just for that category. Many ad widgets utilize javascript, and I am having a problem with how they render on the page when {CATWIDGET} is called on. Specifically, it is the " ' " apostrophy symbol that isn't reading right. For example, a line of the JS script reads something like adunit = '123456'; but when it prints to the page when {CATWIDGET} is called upon, the source code reads adunit = '123456' and errors are being caused. So it seems the apostropies are not reading to the page correcty when {CATWIDGET} is called upon. However, when I edit the category and view the JS in the textarea box, it looks fine. Any ideas?

It needs to be stored in the database with & # 3 9 ; in place of '. I'll look into translating it back to ' at display time for 5.1.13 -- at least on certain pages. It might be used inside ' quoted html tags on the submit/edit page so it should be kept html encoded there. Update: done in 5.1.13. Edited by Paul on 11/20/09 - 5:10 AM |
