I’m almost ready to give up on JA Slideshow 2.

When I type in my text, any time I use an apostrophe (‘), it also adds a backslash () to the text.

I need to fix this. You can see here: http://www.sypfantasyhockey.com

Also, Does anyone know how to add a hyperlink or Read More to the slideshow to take the user to the corresponding article?

As usual, after an hour or so of digging around I figured it out:

In the JA Slideshow .php file, there is part of this line:

str_replace(“‘”, “‘”, $descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’])

take out the , so it reads:

str_replace(“‘”, “‘”, $descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’])

I don’t know enough about coding to know why this is there, so before I blow a gasket under the presumption that it should be fixed in the JA Slideshow 2 downloads (I had the same problem with my Opal template)…I’ll just assume there is a reason why that might be like that.

Anyways…there’s the fix.

HI

for normal, you can change :

str_replace(“‘”, “‘”, $descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’])

to

$descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’]
