How to handle apostrophe's was created by wallyhowe
Can you advise on the best way to manage apostrophe's
We use chronoforms for a number of purposes and find that whenever an apostrophe is submitted in a text field it is flagged up with the component being listed as com_content.
In many cases we have discovered in the log that someone has tried to contact us but the message has not got through.
We have the mode set to strict but are nervous about setting it to alert.
Thank you

Hi Wallyhowe,

The problem with apostrophes is that are also used to launch sql injection attacks. As we know the "com_content" option does it works filtering params you can safely add it as exception.

Hi Jose
We are still getting these so I think Ihave not added the correct exception.
Can you advise which of the options within the SQL injection filters I should add the exception and should the exception be com_content or com_chronoforms7 ?
Thanks
Wally

Hi Wally,

The easiest way to solve this is selecting the log entry and then click on the "add exception" button on top of the page. This will add the component involved as exception into the right filter.

Anyway, please export and send me the logs (there is a button to do that on top of the page). I will check if this is caused by the apostrophe or some other content.

Regards,
Jose
