Apostrophe on site's title

[felixe]

My site (collector's place) doesn't display the apostrophe correctly. I've tried escaping the character like this:

 

Collector\'s Place

 

but no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

Post an example or link of what your problem looks like. That it may a little clearer of the issue you are experiencing.

 

Be well,

Here's an example:

You'll see the page title displayed as "Collector0\\\"

 

Thanks,

The problem is that osCommerce uses PHP and in PHP an apostrophy used in text denotes the end of a PHP command - that's why it is 'escaped' with a preceeding backslash. Once the backslash is in place the apostrophy should be shown just as an apostrophy without causing PHP to think it's something else. So I don't know why you are having this problem - it shouldn't be happening.

Then I guess my last resource would be to hard code it on the index.php page.

 

Here's an image of my admin page:

 

 

Hope somebody spots the error before I mess with the files.

Ok I just tried this in my development store which is set up as a clean install, before I responded to be sure. When you make that setting in your store configuration it's stored in the database and therefore different than when you might be coding it in PHP. You should not have to add a backslash in the name when you define it inside configuration. So try changing that to Collector's in you admin->configuration.

I did a clean install and it worked. I was using a script installation tool (Fantastico) but I decided to do it manually and now everything is fine.

 

Thank you,

Felixe.

Happy you got it working. Interesting enough the clean install I referred to was one installed from Fantastico, I have several different enviroments of osC installed on my server for various purposes but I needed one that was clean so I took the easy way out on that one :)

 

Anyway appears something got out of whack somehow on your previous install, the good news is you have it working now.

 

Be well,
