Freetext Page Link Error

  1. Freetext Page Link Error

    #1
    Certain freetext links (namely, those with RFC 3986 reserved-characters) fail horribly with an error page when you try to access them.

    Example: What the Heck is That?!

    This affects the Freetexts page, the freetext-specific search page, and the submission-sidebar.

    The solution is to URL-encode them. Option 1. Option 2.

    Corrected Example: What the Heck is That?!



    Don't you wish all bug reports were this detailed?

    My solution was to remove special characters. :)

    I suppose that works too. Whatever gets it all working.

    Will work short term. Will limit it to alphanumeric soonest.
