Infinite Slash Escaping

@howdy_mcgee – We may have a correction for this although it is still being tested. You are welcome to try the following:

… via FTP, go to ../wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/admin/templates/manage_gallery/gallery_path_field.php

replace this line (should be line 6)
value="<?php echo esc_attr(str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $gallery->path)) ?>"

with this
value="<?php echo esc_attr(preg_replace('#[/\\]+#', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $gallery->path )); ?>"

Please let us know if this helps.

Thanks!

I think that works. I had to add an additional escape for the last bracket, so the final code looks like this:

<?php echo esc_attr( preg_replace('#[/\\\]+#', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $gallery->path )); ?>

But the above does appear to solve the issue. Hopefully a fix will be pushed out with the next update so my changes don’t get overridden >.>

Thanks for the help!

I have change the code. But it’s the same.
It think it’s a problem with the jquery.fancybox-1.3.4
I work on my local mashine.
Here is the 3 errors and 2 warnings that I see, when I look it on the chrome browser.

I used the code provided by Imagely and now my Gallery path is blank… I was running into the same issue as the original comment. Thoughts?

@pallen82 Try the code I’ve posted above. The original code had a mistyping in it.

@howdy_mcgee – Thanks for sharing this. I have put it back to our developers to review.

– Cais.

So when I used Howdy_Mcgee it gave me a 403 error. When I use Imagely’s version it doesn’t give me an error – it works but there is no path in the Gallery path…

@pallen82 It may be best to create a separate topic than this as this one is resolved. You may end up with a different solution or issue than we found here.

@howdy_mcgee – Agreed.

– Cais.

I’m glad to see that this bug has been finally fixed. I initially reported it 11 months ago: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-adding-extra-slashes-to-gallery-path-when-saving-changes-on-the-gallery/

@demaier – Thanks for sharing that.

– Cais.
