Joomla has an unfortunate feature that it html escapes query strings. For vars that contain quotes, (eg. JX Finder: quotes searches), the extra ampersands which result will break up the query string value:
| Code: |
q=My+"Special Search"
|
becomes
| Code: |
q=My+"Special Search"
|
which results in variables
| Code: |
q = "My "
quot;Special%20Search = null
quot; = null
|
But because Joomla, in JApplication's route() method (line 296, "false" parameter -libraries/joomla/application.php), only updates $_GET vars that are NOT already set, it isn't an issue (q will still be "My \"Special Search\"")
But Ace's JRouterAcesef::setRequestVars() overwrites regardless, which breaks the functionality again.
SOLUTION:
Change the code in setRequestVars to simple be:
| Code: |
function setRequestVars(&$vars) {
JRequest::set($vars, 'get', false );
}
|
I cant see a reason why this needs to be done manually as it is now. Using the native JRequest method fixes the issue on my sight...
