Retain curly braces in expresso field

Support (Resolved)

Hi there.

I’m trying to use { and } in an Expresso 3.5.0 field—but they keep getting escaped.  Is there any way to turn this off? 

As i want to write template code inside expresso field,which clearly fails because of this escaping.

Thanks.

Removing #123 and #125 from the “Additional Entities to Escape” setting should work, can you try that?

I did try it from setting it worked however know its converting ” into quot;
{if site_short_name == “default_site”} converts to ” into quot; and template breaks because of this

How can i stop this from happening?

Is there anything else in the “Additional Entities to Escape” setting field?

Yes #39 removing this and saving shows #39,#123,#125 all this prepopulated which seems to come from setting.php I guess i removed it from settings.php but yet got no luck!

So saving the that setting is not working? Which versions of EE and Expresso are you running? Please ensure you have the latest version of Expresso installed.

Removing it from settings.php i dont see it populated but the problem is with inverted quotes getting converted.

Thanks for the quick fix.

I am currently on EE 2.11.9 expresso 4.2.7 is for EE 3 i guess.

Has this fix been released for legacy versions too?

Please help me fix this for EE2 versions if not.

No, not yet, please change line 656 in ft.expresso.php as follows to apply the fix:

$settings[$key] $this->EE->input->post($key) !== null $this->EE->input->post($key) : $val

You have an invalid conditional in your template. Please review your conditionals for an unclosed string, invalid operators, a missing }, or a missing {/if}.

Parser State: Unexpected ‘#’ (MISC); expected RD in Template “test/index” on line 3.

Shouldn’t you be using regular quotation marks in your conditional?

Could you please elaborate using single and double quotes leads to an error.

What should be the fix for this?

If you can post your code then I can take a look but I’m not sure that this is an issue with Expresso…
