[Bug 1705126] Re: Tags with special characters aren't found

 

For testing also check:


1. When we have a tag '&onetag' and add a Tagged journal entries block to a  page, the block will show no entries even if we have one, displaying the message: 
  There are no journal entries tagged "&onetag"
If we edit the block and save without changes, it will display the message: 
  There are no journal entries tagged "&&onetag"
and it will continue to add "&" at the beginning of the tag for each time we save

2. If we set a tag like "<script>alert('Hello');</script>" and we select
it in a Tagged journal entries block a javascript alert is displayed
with text "Hello" and the tag is displayed as empty in the select field

Title:
  Tags with special characters aren't found

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Im on 17.04.2.

  When on "My Tags" page (/tags.php), clicking on a tag with special
  characters to search for it returns nothing. This is because in the
  query, the special characters are replaced. The tag block is affected
  by this as well, but only on the "My Tags" page. It works well on the
  other page such as Journals and Pages and Collections.

  I found this by having the tag #test. When I search for it from the
  "My Tags" page, the page shows "Search results for %23test"

  So far, i've confirmed the problem with:
  # -> %23
  @ -> %40
  é -> %C3%A9
  è -> %C3%A8
  ê -> %C3%AA
