Apostrophes

Dazza 19 years, 8 months ago at Sep 1 10:16 -
A couple of things: The search doesn't seem to like apostrophes, so films such as "Charlie's Angels", "Dragon's Lair" and "Hairdresser's Husband" had to be found by searching with the last words. Missing out the apostrophes doesn't work, either.
Also, when I go to my R1 collection it says R2 on the header (just a typo, I'm sure, and easily fixed), but anyway the database clearly separates R1 & R2 titles (which is the most important thing!). Also, on the "recently added" page people can access when they look at the collection, all titles are listed as R2.

Hope this helps...

Fixed the R1/R2 thing.

The search engine problem is strange and I not sure how to fix it yet.

I have added an alternative way of adding titles though :

You can circumvent the apostrophe problem, by putting a backslash in front of it. So instead of Charlie's Angels, do Charlie\'s Angles.

I am not sure, but it is possible that this bug could let people inject SQL, so you should fix it soon.

Sort of. :) Search for Baldur's Gate in Games. First page looks fine. Notice the URL:

www.listal.com/search/games/1/?query=baldur%27s+gate

Now click on page 2. Oops, it's blank. Notice the URL:

www.listal.com/search/games/2/?query=baldur\

If you return to the first page, and replace "1" in the URL with "2," the second page of results appears as intended.

There are more apostrophe problems, when editing a custom list where you added a description with an apostrophe, it will strip everything after the apostrophe because it's not HTML encoded.

I had a lot of problems with apostrophes: when adding a book I tried to put an author name with apostrophe but I had this for result [A critical error has occured (131.175.57.10)] and a strange item was added to my list.
