Hi,
I am tring to use

Code:

{$entry.title|replace:'&':'&amp;'}

in my showlistings but it just shows & instead of &, this same code works fine in viewlistings.
Any idea?
Cheers

did you clear template cache? Did you edit the correct showlistings template?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, yeah i have cleared the templates_c folder. It is in the right file, it used to show as & but would not validate. So i put that in so it will but doesnt show properly, its like its not being parsed as html just as plain text.
Any ideas?

No reason why I can put my finger on but just try it with " instead of '. It will probably not make a difference.

Thanks for the reply but it still does the same thing.

This works for me in showlistings. I just tried it. Note use of " and not ' or ' '.

{$entry.title|replace:"&":"&"}

It clearly puts & into the page source which it should but gets displayed on your page as just &. Voila!!!

I just found something strange.
The title is already changed. I looked at the source code which is what i should have already done and it was coming out like this

Quote:

&amp;

if i remove the replace it was coming out

Quote:

&

which is fine, then i remembered the only 2 ads on my site were placed during v4.07 or 8.
All new ads are already changed to & was this a new feature in 4.09?
Problem is solved anyway, for the two older ads i went into administration and opened them up and then just clicked submit and it changed them to &
as far as i can remember i did not implament anything to do this so it must have been a new feature.
Cheers,
Nick

If you don't do the replace, I can tell you that in 4.14, the source will just put & and not &
