#6071: HtmlHelper's escape option wrongly unset --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: headache | Owner: Type: Test Case | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: 1.2.x.x Component: Helpers | Version: 1.2 Final Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: html,link,htmlhelper,escape | Php_version: n/a Cake_version: 1.2.1.8004 | --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Comment (by headache):
Sure, here's a bit more info. The following should create a link with an unescaped title attribute containing an ellipsis: {{{ echo $html->link( 'click me', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'), array('title' => 'to escape … or not escape?', 'escape' => false), false, false ); }}} However, HtmlHelper::link() unsets the 'escape' option before passing $htmlAttributes to _parseAttributes() so the title is not escaped. I think that getting rid of the $escapeTitle param and moving things into options that can be passed down to other methods, as it appears to me to be the reasoning for checking the option in addition to $escapeTitle, is laudable. Though, you must consider that the 'escape' option will then be doing double duty for both the link text (awkwardly-named $title param) and the link's attributes (eg. title, alt, etc.). In any case, the fix is to remove this line: {{{ unset($htmlAttributes['escape']); }}} so that _parseAttributes() will receive the escape option. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/6071#comment:3> CakePHP : The Rapid Development Framework for PHP <https://trac.cakephp.org/> Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC.
