Semicolon after Campany name - cannot remove it

Apr 19, 2009 09:46am Eddie Total Posts: 7	Hello. Thanks for a excellent system! One small bug (I think): I use the version 0.8.9. When I edit my Company Name in the “Settings”, the system insists to put a ; (semicolon) after my company name. If I try to remove it and save, it reappears. This ; also appears in the E-mail sent, also in the PDF. If it is not a bug, I would like to know which file (line) to edit in order to remove it. Thanks Eddie.

Apr 20, 2009 09:12am Eddie Total Posts: 7	Well, this is interesting. I am trying different: Webdesign@Webservice - ; appears. Webdesign-Webservice - OK Webdesign&W - OK Webdesign&We; - ; appears Funny, actally.. Same story in the “Primary Contact” field, I try Company - Firstname Lastname (so it appears like that on the emails). Then I get Company; - Firstname Lastname. Regards Eddie.

Apr 20, 2009 09:20am Eddie Total Posts: 7	Webdesign&Webservice; Actually, it happens in the forum as well. The name above without the trailing ; Eddie.

Apr 20, 2009 09:28am Derek Allard Total Posts: 2339	Enter it like this “Webdesign&Webservice” - this will allow you to keep the security on and still have your name. Without getting into a big explanation, it is an unfortunately consequence of some filtering needed to keep the code safe. We could disable that security, but it would open up a potential ugly exploit. The same code that protects bamboo protects these forums, which is why you see it happening here as well.

Apr 20, 2009 09:50am Eddie Total Posts: 7	Ahh, excellent. I should have thought of it myself. I use this always in HTML.. By the way, I might contribute to your system with Norwegian language. How do I proceed? Just take the english language file and translate and send to you? Regards Eddie

Apr 20, 2009 09:57am Derek Allard Total Posts: 2339	Because there isn’t already a Norweign pack released for CodeIgniter (part of the underlying framework for Bamboo) it would be a fair chunk of work (sorry). What would need to be translated are all the files under bamboo_system_files/language/english; and also the file bamboo_lang.php that’s in bamboo_system_files/application/language/english. If you want to contribute, I’d be more then happy to ensure the entire community (including CodeIgniter) benefited from your contribution.

Apr 20, 2009 10:06am Eddie Total Posts: 7	I’ll do it, please allow me a week or two. Regards Eddie.
