Hi there,

Whe a custom field value contains a slash-character, the filter causes a 404-error when selecting this value.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi

Yes the slash is a resrved character in the url.

May i ask in what kind of custom field are you using that?

Kind regards,

Hi Sakis,

The fact that a slash is a reserved character should not be a reason for the website to result in an error. I guess it should be possible to url-encode the string so that it has no effect on the url when using a reserved character like a  slash.

The custom field is a text-field.

Kind regards,
Peter

As you can see all the special characters (slash included) are url encoded.

Desipte that, most browsers still treat it as a slash (i.e. uri reserved char).

Kind regards,

Hi Sakis,

Maybe you can use the same functionality as Joomla uses in the creation of an alias. Special characters are removed or replaced by  a "-" character.

Kind regards,
Peter

Unless the alias is saved somewhere (as Joomla does in it's components), it can be very error prone to replace url characters on the fly.

This can create way more problems than those it tries to fix.

Kind regards,

OK, so slashes can better not be used in custom field values in at least custom fields of type 'text'.

We willen replace slashes on our website with a non-special character.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi

Yes i think this is the best option atm.

Kind regards,
