Problem with CKEditor changing my " marks to &quote;

Problem with CKEditor changing my " marks to &quote;

For example, I'm using Lightbox Plus which adds in code (in to my Wordpress site) to call some things, and the code should look like this:

[caption id="attachment_53"

But instead, CKEditor is making it into:

[caption id="attachment_53" (notice the & quote ; in place of the " mark)

and .. then it doesn't work and display properly.

How can I turn this re-writing feature OFF in CKEditor so it will just leave it alone and not re-write the code?

That problem is usually a setting in PHP/Apache.

Re: Problem with CKEditor changing my " marks to &quote

Well, I am working on a Windows 2008 server with IIS7. When I use WP Super Edit (as my WYSIWYG editor), I don't have this problem.

I'm presuming that something in CKEditor just isn't working properly.

And since PHP on Windows is normally not an issue at all, I'm just hoping someone might be able to find out what the problem is and correct it for use on Windows.

I really like the editor, but can't use it .. if it re-writes my code.

Same problem here,

A hotfix new release would be great as this is really a regression...

Re: Problem with CKEditor changing my " marks to &quote

Sorry, if you're not sure about what to do after reading the docs, then it's better to wait until a new version is released.

And about this deserving a hotfix release, what was the previous version were it worked correctly?
It's important to know that because the proposed patch might be wrong.

Re: Problem with CKEditor changing my " marks to &quote

Hello,
To avoid CKEditor changing my special chars I've written a script :

When switching in source view :

CKEDITOR.instances.TEXT.on( 'mode', function(ev) {
      if ( ev.editor.mode == 'source' ) {
                        var str=ev.editor.getData();
         str=str.replace(/&amp;/g, "&").replace(/&gt;/g, ">").replace(/&lt;/g, "<").replace(/&quot;/g, "\"");
         ev.editor.textarea.setValue(str);
      }
});


When save edited document :

...
var html=CKEDITOR.instances.TEXT.getData()
html=html.replace(/&amp;/g, "&").replace(/&gt;/g, ">").replace(/&lt;/g, "<").replace(/&quot;/g, "\"");
...

In the index file where you define the ckeditor instance.

Re: Problem with CKEditor changing my &quot; marks to &amp;quote

I'm using CKEditor in a Wordpress site. So, maybe what you added can't be applied to me.

What do you think?

Re: Problem with CKEditor changing my &quot; marks to &amp;quote

I have a similar problem, though not so serious. When typing a text in Czech using native letters as "á", "í" etc., CKEditor converts it into HTML entities (&aacute;, &iacute;...). So the text after this conversion is very hard to be read and its length is twice bigger, it is very annoying.
I looked into the patch meant above, I luckily understand it. Some changes in plugins.js may solve my problem. But is it completely sufficient to do it in _source/plugins/entities/plugin.js only?
Thank you for answer.

Thanks that sounds good but I have no idea where to put that? Is it in two different files?? Will it affect my website in any bad way?
