A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
Each time I place a dollar sign in the aritcle name, most of the numbers after it disapear. Why is this so?
HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera for $120 @ CompUSA – DealOverflow.com
becomes
HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera for 0 @ CompUSA – DealOverflow.com

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
It’s strange. I don’t have the same problem neither with current official version 4.0.1 (rev.888) nor with latest SVN version…
I tried with your title and it is rendered “HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera for $120 @ CompUSA – DealOverflow.com” everywhere…

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
I just put up another article with the name:
HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera for $120 CompUSA
and it becomes:
HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera for 0 CompUSA – DealOverflow.com
This only happens in the title, it displays fine on the page.
You can check out the titles at the following locations:
http://www.dealoverflow.com/271/hp-photosmart-r507-digital-camera-for-120-compusa
http://www.dealoverflow.com/272/antec-tp-ii-430-truepower-430w-power-supply-for-40-ar-compusa
It seems like after the dollar sign it takes off the next two letters after it.

I think you are using ob1_title. I found out recently that with all the new txp tags and some conditionals you can do exactly what this plugin does, so I stopped using ob1_title.

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
Yup, I was using that plugin, how would I only display the article name in the title?
Right now it says:
Homepage title: Article Name

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
<txp:page_title /> displays as well the site name as, if on an individual article page, the article title.
So you could try something like this:
<code>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article form=“article-title” />
<txp:else />
<txp:page_title />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</code>
The form ‘article-title’:
<code>
<txp:title />
</code>
You can also display sections (<txp:section title="y" />) and categories (likewise) using, if necessary, some conditional tags.

Thank you, I’ll try this when my host gets their MySQL working.

About the title attribute: mind this.

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
I’m using the following:
<code>
<title>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article form=“articletitle” />
<txp:else />
<txp:page_title />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</title>
</code>
And the articletitle form is the following:
<code>
<txp:title /> – DealOverflow.com
</code>
But, it seems to display the articletitle form plus it displays the comments_display form. That’s weird because I don’t have that specified anywhere near my title. Any reason why it would say Article Title – DealOverflow.com then all this code after it?
Here’s just a sample:
<code>
<title>
Antec TP-II 430 TruePower 430W Power Supply for $40 AR @ CompUSA – DealOverflow.com <div class=“comments”>
<h1>Comments »</h1>
<form method=“post” action=”#cpreview” id=“txpCommentInputForm”> <table cellpadding=“4” cellspacing=“0” border=“0”>
<tr>
</code>
Why would it display the comments_display form?

Re: A money symbol in article name doesn't work right.
If Automatically append comments to articles? is turned on, this form is used automatically each time an article is displayed.
