    • URGENT help requested: "&" in a page name will kill the page

    Posted by Peter posts: 55

    We have a Tikiwiki installation that is going quite well but one of our users just renamed a page to "Connecting People, Issues & Directions"

    This resulted in the page not being able to be accessed and returning the following error
    "Invalid variable value : page = Connecting People, Issues & Directions"'

    If I have access to the database can I just edit the database to remove the "&" out of the name. What table woudl I look in and will this have other impacts.

    Can I patch out Tiki install so this does not happen to another unfortunate person

    Any assistance very greategully received

    You could try to export it:
    Admin- Wiki- generate dump: tiki-admin.php?page=wiki&dump=1
    Then you download this dump 😉
