Re: entityreference show, but links do not work (requestHandlerException)

[David E Jones]

Thanks for the details. I don't think I would have found that by  
randomly clicking around... ;)

The issue is fixed in rev 742866.

The problem was a string was assembled in the FTL file and then used,  
triggering the html encoding. The fix is to not assemble the String at  
all since it isn't needed. In other words, instead of:

<#assign screenFileName = portlet.screenLocation + "#" +  
portlet.screenName/>
${screens.render(screenFileName)}

... we can simply do this:

${screens.render(portlet.screenLocation, portlet.screenName)}

Doing so allows us to avoid the problem, and it's cleaner code.

If we didn't have an option like this (ie cleaning up the code to  
solve the problem, which works in most cases so far and has served to  
improve the code too), as a last resort we could use the StringWrapper  
so that FTL doesn't treat it is a String and trigger the general html  
encoding. It would look like this from the promotiondetails.ftl file:

${StringUtil.wrapString(productPromo.promoText?if_exists)}

That is a field that we want to allow HTML in, and allow the HTML to  
be sent to the browser to be treated as HTML instead of encoded so it  
is shown like any other text. So, this little workaround is basically  
what we can use when we don't want this default behavior.

it looks like the following string: /control/view/&#47;webtools&#47;

not only happens in webtools but at many places.....

Could you be more specific about these "many places"?

I don't think I'll find them by randomly poking around...

Thanks,
