When changing the text on the slide show everytime I use a ‘s on the site it is converted to /’s

For example:

In the “Description for each Item” box it looks like this:

Joe’s

On the site it looks like this:

Joe/’s

Any help?

Maybe it’s a problem with uft8 the unicode for ’s will be ’s, only apostrophe is &#8217.

I use a simple tool at:
http://www.atm.ox.ac.uk/user/iwi/charmap.html

You enter your phrase or punctuation in the top input field and click Make html then you got your unicode text

Hope it help!

This is an important question as most of my site are bilingual and need french accents…

Other question How can you switch the language (joomfish) of the descriptions?

the MUST be a proper fix for this. I have the same problem on Cooper and Opal JA Slideshow 2 modules!

OK well I figured it out. In the JA Slideshow .php file, there is part of this line:

str_replace(“‘”, “‘”, $descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’])

take out the , so it reads:

str_replace(“‘”, “‘”, $descriptionArray[$img][‘caption’])

I don’t know enough about coding to know why this is there, so before I blow a gasket under the presumption that it should be fixed in the JA Slideshow 2 downloads (I had the same problem with my Opal template)…I’ll just assume there is a reason why that might be like that.

Anyways…there’s your fix.
