[FIXED][3] Adding user to buddy list with apostrophe in the name

[Boofo]

I'm not sure if this hads been reported yet, but if you add a new user to your buddy list in the usercp edit buddy list option, if the new user is the first one in the list and they have an apostrophe in the name, you will get the following error:

The user 'Tester\'s User' was not found in the database. Please go back and correct this problem. You may want to check out the member list.

We fixed it by adding the line:

<input type="hidden" name="listbits[]" value="">

in the 'listedit' template. I am using 2.2.9 but it seems to work right in version 3.0. Is this the correct fix for it? Or is there a more right and better one?

Bug confirmed in 2.2.9.

Steve over there isn't a developer :)

You will have to wait for one of them to walk over here... shouldn't be too long...

I'm guessing there will be a PHP code fix, someone just forgot something in the code... but yeah, we will know soon :)

We applied the temporary fix for it. I jusy wanted to make sure the fix we did do wouldn't mess with anything else. We'll wait and see what they come up with. ;)

magic_quotes_gpc

it ends up adding slashes twice. Sooo

look for while (list($key,$val)=each($listbits)) {
in member2.php

below add
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$val = stripslashes($val);
}

I could not find the line above in 2.2.9 member.php. I did find that line in member2.php though. Did you mean to say member2.php?

Thanks, Scott. I wanted to make sure we had the right fix for it instead of a temporary fix so there would be no problems later on. ;)
