Apex not showed in alt/title tag

When you go over an image with your mouse and the image is related to a k2 item with a title-text that contains an apex, then the apex is showed as ' instead of '.
Please have a look at the image attached.

It should display "L'evoluzione ..." instead of "L&#039evoluzione ..."

Hi

I edited /html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php line 19 and replaced:

Code: Select all

            <div class="itemImageBlock"> <a class="itemImage" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>" title="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->image_caption); else echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $this->item->image; ?>" alt="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->image_caption); else echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" /> </a> </div>


with these:

Code: Select all

            <div class="itemImageBlock"> <a class="itemImage" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>" title="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo $this->item->image_caption; else echo $this->item->title; ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $this->item->image; ?>" alt="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo $this->item->image_caption; else echo $this->item->title; ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" /> </a> </div>


I prefer edit php files only if there are no other solutions.
Will you add such fix to next template update?

Hi

That was the only option. But problem is comming from K2. This function is chaning special chars to ASCII codes K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml(). All I've done was to remove this function. It's ok with Your site, because You do not have HTML code in captions, but some users may not be happy not having this function. Anyway You can report this to K2 support, so they will correct this function.

I updated k2 from 2.6.8 to 2.6.9 and this problem has been solved.

Hi

Ok. Great to hear that, but I've changed this code in overrides, so even if it was updated and fixed than my solution is in use
