GRS: events calendar items contain html entities
Posted by sarneil on 11 Sep 2008 in Activity log
SB reported that events that she posted to the UVic events calendar appeared fine on the UVic site, but on the GRS site which scrapes from the UVic site, html entities appeared instead of the literal characters (space, ").
I created a test event containing the literal characters and the entities, and they behaved as I expected they would. It appears that the events system and scraper are behaving OK, which makes me think that there must be something about the data she's entering which explains the behaviour she reported.
Wrote back and told her to try editing the event postings.
