Category and Maginot '(coranto v.1.32.0)

[niorama]

Hello,

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I need some help to customise the category and/or maginot addon but first let me tell me that I'm working with Coranto_v.1.32.0.. I added an extra field to the Category addon and was able to save and get the entered value when I need it

Now, the added field should be an url or path and should be used when a newsitem is build with Maginot. The problem is the value is stripped form slashes. A value like /home/username/public_html/news becomes homeusernamepublic_htmlnews.

How can I prevent this from happening.

Best Regards
Niorama

The version you are using is a test version. It contains known bugs and should not be used "live."
We are still testing new alpha versions of the program.

Use the stable 1.25 or the beta 1.35 instead.

Hello Musicvid,

Thank you for replying. Where do I find the beta 1.35 version or did you mean the 1.31.5 version

I tried the 1.31.5 version and it seems I have the same problem.
I think it has something to do with stripping the slashes when Maginot creates the
files (and directories) specified in the File Path field.

In the extra field I created in the category addon (CategoryUrl) I have entered something like /home/username/public_html/news and in the file path field of the magento profile I entered <Field: CategoryUrl>. All the slashes are stripped and I end up with a file in homeusernamepublic_htmlnews .

Hope you'll be able te assist me.

Thanks and best regards

It is 1.31.5
Sorry for my haste. I know that others are using Maginot with 1.31.5 without problems. Since I am not using that addon, I better step aside and let those with more knowledge assist you with this problem. One thing you "might" try is escaping the slashes like this:

\/home\/username\/public_html\/news

Musicvid,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to escape te slashes but that didn't work. The result is still the same.

I think it has something to do with the code below in cra_maginot but I'm not really in to perl to change it. I hope you can assist me with altering the code so the slashes aren't stripped anymore.

cra_maginot lines 191,192,193

Code: Select all

   $dirpath =~ s/<Field\: ([^\s\>\{\[]+)>/\%\^${$1}\%\%/g;
   $dirpath =~ s/<Field\: ([^\s\>\{]+)\{[\'\"]([^\s\>\}\'\"]+)[\'\"]\}>/\%\^${$1}{$2}\%\%/g;
   $dirpath =~ s/<Field\: ([^\s\>\[]+)\[(\d+)\]>/\%\^${$1}[$2]\%\%/g;


Thank you and best regards

Nevermind, I think I found the solution.

Nevermind, I think I found the solution.

Can you share, for future users?

I'm curious myself!

Jackanape,

First I will test my 'solution' but when I find the time,
I'll share my solution for all users. I think I'll be able to
do so in a couple of days but for now
I do not have the time. I'm sorry.

Best Regards
