    • what characters are NOT ALLOWED in tikiwiki pagenames

    Posted by Peter posts: 55

    Hello everyone,

    What characters are NOT ALLOWED in page names, e.g. is "Help! How do I ..." a valid page name or is "Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)" valid?

    @#$%^&*()_-=|\/?><


    It appears that people can create pages with some special characters but they might cause other things to break e.g. renaming the page.

    Yes some characters are forbidden for security reasons - some others can be bugged too ... I don't know why these characters were forbidden. Need to ask mose . It is delicate to change the security check
    If you want you can change the list in :
    tiki-setup_base.php

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    $patterns['string']  = "/^[^\";#]*$/"; // find, and such extended chars
$vartype['page'] = 'string';

    Better to look in the code for the real list - another bug

    These characters give back an "invalid varaible value"
    Other ones can be bugged. It will be interesting to establish the list.
