Interactive Sticker and Comma in the TEXT= parameter (Work-Around)

Post by MonyMony » Fri Jun 15, 2018 2:23 am

Hello All,

I wanted to pass this on that I suddenly noticed my Interactive Sticker was not working. This seemed odd as it had been working for a long time without issues. Anyway traced this to an issue with a comma. In my old configuration I had this:
..plugins/stickers/stickerInteractive.php?text=Cecil%20County%20Weather%20-%20Elkton,%20Maryland,%20USA&font=DroidSans-Bold&image=01&border=2&type=interactive&dualUnits=1
My best guess is either my host provider made a change or something changed with the new Firefox browsers. Either way the sticker would not process if left those commas in place. Since I like the look of having the comma, I just changed them to the HTML hex equivalent and everything now works fine.
../plugins/stickers/stickerInteractive.php?text=Cecil%20County%20Weather%20-%20Elkton%2C%20Maryland%2C%20USA&font=DroidSans-Bold&image=01&border=2&type=interactive&dualUnits=1
Hope this might prove useful to some of you.

This is strange. I have a comma in my sig and it's working correctly in Firefox. Strange. Maybe it freaks out with 2 commas. I'm going to test it.

Code: Select all
