UseBB Community

I've been making a page that displays a variety of (generally) static content. Since most of the content will be provided by not-so-tech-saavy types I wanted to make it easy for them to just drop an HTML fragment in a certain subdirectory, add a single entry to another file and see their content become available.

anyways, the final step,

template->add_raw_content(get_file_contents(<filename>));

works fine except that template->body() seemed to be escaping all the quotes in the fragment (bad [tm]).

Anyways in a quest for a quick solution I just wrapped the rawcontents addition in a call to stripcslashes on line 335 of template.php:

template.php:333
if ( isset($request['raw']) ) {
				
	$this->body .= "\n".stripcslashes($this->raw_contents[$request['num']])."\n";
	continue;
				
}

This appears to resolve the issue. I'm wondering if the quotes escaping is expected behaviour for add_raw_content and I'm doing something nutty here. Otherwise I'd love to see this go into the main codebase (makes my life easier come upgrade time )

That's a result of magic quotes, which UseBB uses. Better to be safe than sorry so this feature will escape all quotes by default. In this case it is not wanted ofcourse...

Fixed in CVS. Slashes can still be kept by passing 'false' as a second argument for $template->add_raw_content().
