• Problem with categories with space

    By Ted Hardenburgh 2 decades ago

    We're looking at using the DomBulletin to replace existing discussion forums and while testing came across an issue when categories with spaces are used. What happens when a user goes into a category area, say "general feedback" and creates a new topic, the category that is given that new topic becomes "general%20feedback". At that point a new "category" is created since it doesn't match the original. And if someone goes into that category, we see "general%2520feedback" as the category.



    One other issue, is that new posts don't display the category fields so users can choose what category to post to. May be related to the first issue. This may be a config issue, but I wasn't able to find anything restricing use of the category.



    I've duplicated this on two forums.



    Environment:

    Domino 6.02CF1

    OS/400 V5R2

        I was able to test on a Windows server, and I couldn't duplicate the issue. It does appear to be related to the iSeries.



        Let me know if you'd like to look at it closer or have any suggestions. Thanks

        It looks like the @URLDecode command needed to have the decodeType option set to "DOMINO" instead of "Platform". Once we changed that, the categories worked fine.



        Very nice app - even before this small issue.
