I'm running 7.6 patched, and when I add a new story, if i typed this word: don't it would add it as don/'t

the word does't really matter, it's any word that has a ' in it. It's only on the main pages Stories/News. it doesn't do that in the forums.

how the heck would I fix that?

thx for any help.

i get this problem too. anytime i use a single quote or double quote in an article, it will add \ before it and ruin all my html and links. i've tried using the str_replace in the themes.php fix that i found on another site but that did not help at all.

Php in itself will addslashes to everyquote inputed before it is displayed, a stripslashes function is required.

I believe this has been updated with patch 3.2b

i did a clean install of 7.6 with 3.2B and still have this problem. where would i use stripslashes? if you could lead me in the right direction it'd be appreciated.

mine is a fresh install as well. i downloaded 7.6 from this site 3 days ago.

i'm also seeing another error. when i add links to news stories, it's adding slashes.

example:

if I type this:

figured out the fix.

in file /modules/news/admin/index.php

comment out these lines in the poststory function(lines 1072-1074)

For security reasons, you are better to keep those lines in and just remove the addslashes() function

What use is the addslashes entery anyway? because I have the same problem and I also noticed there are several addslashes in the Index.php not just 3 or 4. What happens if I remove them all?

Evaders99 · Resource Master

In the condition which your server has magic_quotes_gpc on, it will automatically do an addslashes to every input. So addslashes shouldn't be needed again. However, phpNuke frequently uses stripslashes and addslashes incorrectly, so it is almost safer just to use addslashes everywhere.

I'm working on fixing this system wide. If you want to test my Patched 3.2 compatible files, register on my site and tell me your username. I will give you access to the test sites and downloads. http://evaders.swrebellion.com
