Can't buy gifts for members that have "&" in their name...
 

When buying someone a gift and they have a "&" charactor in their username, it says they don't exist..

So members that have that special charactor, can't buy gifts I guess..

I love what you have done with this hack!! Cudos!!:banana:

I have noticed this as well. I have a few members that aren't getting gifts yet.

Will look around the threads and see if there is a fix......

Yeah, I'll try to come up with a fix for this..

I didn't see anything in the posts..

I did upgrade to vbplaza, and still the "&" bug remains..

Hmm, the & must be getting converted into & I'll do a quick check to see if this is the case... hold...

EDIT: Found the issue and it will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks CMX!!!

You saved me time from trying to fix this!!

I know you are SWAMPED, but, any time frame on the next release?

If u have been to www.vbplaza.com u would see that v1.5.1 Beta 2 is currently running there, usually there only goes thru a couple beta's before release, so it could be later today or tomorrow barring no serious bugs found in the next 5 - 6 hours, it could be today!

This fix wasn't in the 1.5.2, was it??

Is it possible to maybe post how to fix it manually? I'm pretty good.. :D

Plus it would save time tracking it down. :D

It should have been in v1.5.1

--- Bugfix: Any vbPlaza Options that require a username to be input will convert the 'HTML' characters properly.

Taken from the v1.5.1 Updates notes, inside of changes.txt now.

hmm.. Still a bug on my site.. That's odd..

I can give pm you a test account so you can see..

the user's name in peticular is "navy&orange"...

Let me know if you want our test account info, I can pm it to you.. Thanks!!

Did u reupload all of the files to the FTP? (Making sure they are overwriting.)

Specifically the folder vbplaza with all of the action.*.php files..

Reupload those files before I check it out.
