when an apostrophe is in the book title it is escaped with a but is never filtered out when displayed on the frontend.

came up with a solution.

line 525 of booklibrary.html.php
replace the whole line.
Code:

<?php echo stripslashes($book->title); ?>


I would suggest that this gets handled in the backend as well to make it more user friendly.

find other spots as well to strip slashes out.

/components/com_booklibrary/booklibrary.html.php

line 246
Code:

<?php echo stripslashes($row->title); ?> 



line 510
Code:

<?php echo stripslashes($currentcat->header); ?>



Note: on backend it looks to adds a slash ever time it saves. See what i can do next with that.

Now we check for slash - only description. For title me not do so because think ' - not uses in title. Or customer may not use it.

We do that with
//remove escaped slashes
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$book->comment = stripslashes($book->comment);
}


for title you can add exactly so:
//remove escaped slashes
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$book->title = stripslashes($book->title);
}

thanks,

It is alot more common in the English Language which I'm guessing is not your first. And just because you don't think many would use it does not mean you shouldn't account for it. Right now it causes a problem with your component when it is used in the title and thus you should strip it out for the convenience of your customers and future customers.
