HTML entities not handled correctly

This seems to be caused by urldecoding $thetitle in function _freelinking_exists in freelinking.module. Removing urldecode fixes this, but is it safe?

Disregard the previous comment - that's irrelevant. The real problem lies elsewhere: special characters need to be decoded before creating the link. Please, check the patch.

Fixed as part of freelinking-6.x-1.3.

Hi Eric,

I'm very new to Drupal, and loving it!

I finally found this page about my problem.

I'm using Freelinking with FCKEditor. When I add this in the content: [[wêreld]] , Drupal does not display anything whatsoever in the view of the document this content is added to.

Further, when I add the following: [[Omgee en "fellowship"]] , Drupal displays it in the view, but when I try to create the new pages content, it only puts "Omgee en " (without the quotes) in the new title line.

Do you have any advice? Am I missing some kind of Ascii table that contains special characters which Drupal needs to look up?

Thanks,
Jacco

This sounds like it might be a bad interaction between freelinking and FCKEditor. Can you confirm that this still happens when FCKEditor is not part of the input formats? I suspect FCK is encoding the quotes, and freelinking is not playing nice.

Eric,

I can confirm, when I deactivate FCKEditor for the wiki user permissions, [[wêreld]] becomes visible again, of course I can't do this, because my users don't know anything about html coding.

BTW, ê is not encoded to & ecirc; either...

The double quotes appear correctly in the new wiki page title only if I replace & quot; with a character " in the html text. FCKEditor had encoded my original " that I typed into the text as & quot;

Let me try this: http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/C...

Great! This was the solution! When ProcessHTMLEntities is turned off, all my issues are resolved!

Thanks for putting me on the right track!

Regards,
Jacco

This issue persists for me on 7.x-3.8 with the following text:

[[nid:12345|Timmy & Johnny]]

Simple patch attached.
