[1.8c] More Slashes - apostrophes

[memobug]

All the custom fields that have apostrophes still give the slash problem when the category is displayed for editing.

e.g.
Seller's Country becomes
Seller\'s Country

and after a few edits to other fields, it keeps picking up slashes

Seller\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Country

etc.

Regards,

Matt

$extra5 = convert_markups( stripslashes($extra5) ); $extra5 = convert_returns( $extra5 );
$extra6 = convert_markups( stripslashes($extra6) ); $extra6 = convert_returns( $extra6 );

That fixes it, for example, in the category description field where I was having the problem (at least now no slashes are shown before commas). However, every time the category is edited, more slashes get inserted so that "john\'s wares" on the next edit becomes "john\\'s wares" then "john\\\'s wares" etc. Just a minor annoyance that on each edit i have to clear out the slashes...

$extra6 = convert_markups( stripslashes($extra6) ); $extra6 = convert_returns( $extra6 );

I tried that and it didn't work for some reason. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the bug and you posted the following fix: $desc = convert_markups( stripslashes($desc) ); $desc = convert_returns( $desc );

Hope that might help someone else.

I appreciate your researching the issue.

I appreciate the research into the problem. I don't myself want to install slash fixes repeatedly with every release, but I will keep reporting the slash problems when I see them, if they persist.

Thanks,

Matt
