Ampersand Handling in Homepage Links :)

[mattgrimley]

Hey @nickbro

 

Hope you are well!!

 

When i try to add a URL with an ampersand in it to the Homepage links - it initially adds fine, but then when editted, the ampersand gets messed up and turns into a ;amp&, breaking the URL.

 

I presume when the config loads the saved URL, it doesnt convert the & and basically re-saves the ampersand as & etc ad infinitum!

 

Simple edit of the xml got me running.

 

Cheers,

Matt

the XML spec doesn't allow for ampersands. They should get converted to ^ which is recoded. I'll add a fix into v7.10
