Hello alpalino,
***Open admin/suggest-link.php and find code***

/** magic quotes stripping for text and textarea fields **/
if (($value['type'] == 'text') || ($value['type'] == 'textarea'))
{
$link[$field_name] = sql(html($field_value,ENT_QUOTES));
}

***Replace with the following code***

/** magic quotes stripping for text and textarea fields **/
if (($value['type'] == 'text') || ($value['type'] == 'textarea'))
{
$link[$field_name] = sql($field_value);
}

***Save file***

Hello,
My file says:

/** magic quotes stripping for text and textarea fields **/
if (($value['type'] == 'text') || ($value['type'] == 'textarea'))
{
$link[$field_name] = sql(html($field_value));
if($field_name =='url')
{
$url_required = $value['required'];
}

I have pro version 2.1 Code looks a little different...can i use it as well?

Hello woeanl,
Yes, you can.

if (($value['type'] == 'text') || ($value['type'] == 'textarea'))
{
$link[$field_name] = sql(html($field_value));
if($field_name =='url')

$url_required = $value['required'];
}
}

Dave 2.1 code looks like this:
/** magic quotes stripping for text and textarea fields **/
if (($value['type'] == 'text') || ($value['type'] == 'textarea'))
{
$link[$field_name] = sql(html($field_value));
if($field_name =='url')
{
$url_required = $value['required'];
}
}

Dave that works fine in the links description.

But category description doesn't seem to accept html.
You have a fix for that?

Thanks

[Dave Baker]

Greg,
It's problem with template.
***Open index.tpl and find***

<h1>{$header}</h1>
{if $category.description}
<div class="box">{$category.description|escape:"html"}</div>

***Replace with***

<h1>{$header}</h1>
{if $category.description}
<div class="box">{$category.description}</div>

***Save file***

[Greg]

Thankyou Dave

Did do in suggest-link.php:
$link[$field_name] = sql($field_value);

And in Greenleaves/index.tpl (i have v2.1):
<div class="box">{$category.description}</div>

Couldn't load the main page anymore after changing index.tpl...just a blank screen...anybody?
If this doesn't work for me do i have to replace the changed suggest-link.php with the old one? Or can i just leave it like that? (replaced the index.tpl again to make site work again)
Is there maybe another option to make this work?
(ps...what are exactly the changes in admin area?)

A changed code produce a error. Please replace changed files in your directory with files from version without changes. And try to implement this modification once again.
