Problem with special characters when showing “Affiliation"

[obi]

Hi,
We have problem with special characters only when showing “Affiliation” on the browser. See an example at the URL: http://www.ub.uit.no/baser/ocs/index.ph ... rt/bio/2/0.

We are using OCS version 2.3.3.1 and UTF-8. We need help or point to us where we can make corrections.

Cheers
Obi

Hi Obi,

I've posted this as a bug: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5950. I'm not sure if there is a reason for escaping the affiliation value, but in the mean time you can fix this by going into the templates/rt/bio.tpl file and at around line 23, change

Code: Select all

{if $author->getLocalizedAffiliation()}{$author->getLocalizedAffiliation()|escape}{/if}

to

Code: Select all

{if $author->getLocalizedAffiliation()}{$author->getLocalizedAffiliation()|strip_unsafe_html|nl2br}{/if}

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matts,
Thank you very much. It works. I removed "escape" and replaced it with "strip_unsafe_html".

Cheers
