After upgrading to 4.0.8, HTML code is displaying on the page
My client has a bunch of links set up through Content > Links.
The code for these is entered into the description. Here’s an example:
<a href=“http://www.scribbleitonline.com” target=”_blank”><img src=“http://i41.tinypic.com/105sc9y.gif” border=“0” alt=“Image and video hosting by TinyPic”></a>
This used to work, but the new version of Textpattern is translating all the tags to <, >, etc., making the HTML display directly on the page.
Please let me know what I can do to correct this! Thanks in advance.

You need to add escape="" to the link_description tag. The default value was changed to html in 4.0.7.

Re: After upgrading to 4.0.8, HTML code is displaying on the page
I’m not sure where I would add escape=”“
Here’s an example tag I’m using now to call links:
<txp:linklist form=“indexlink” category=“Main: Featured Rolodex” limit=“1” sort=“rand()” />
How would I add link_description to this?

Okay, I think I’ve got it! Now I’m using this:
<txp:linklist form=“indexlink” category=“Main: Featured Rolodex” limit=“1” sort=“rand()”><txp:link /><br />
<txp:link_description escape=”“ /></txp:linklist>
Now to scurry off and change all my tags.
Thanks!

category="Main: Featured Rolodex"
Nothing to do with your problem, but I find it hard to believe that this is working… the attribute’s value should be the category name, not the title, so it would need to be something like category="main-featured-rolodex".

It is working! But I’ll look at correcting the tags so they don’t break in a future upgrade. Thanks for the tip.
