External Comments Plugin

[RobA]

Hello RobA - thanks again for this plugin. It's been working wonders for me with my site, and is probably the best integration of comments I've used for the site too

Just wanted to point out a glitch that occurs when a particular event happens. If your page title has inverted commas (') then the script doesn't output the comments box or any comments. You simply get the 'blog comments powered by Disqus' link at the bottom of the page.

Example page

I know that it is the comma that is the cause of the script breaking, because when I remove it, the page displays the box just fine (like here). Is there a way that this can be patched, or should users simply avoid using the character in their page titles with the script?

Thanks again.

Good catch.

Right before this line [95]:

Code:

$new_content = "\n<!-- START: external_coments plugin embed code -->\n";

add in:

Code:

$PostID = addslashes($PostID);
  $PageURL = addslashes($PageURL);
  $PageTitle = addslashes($PageTitle);

This should escape any single quotes, double quotes or backslashes and make the javascript work.

(It shouldn't break any old discusID's either)

Type this and let me know...
