If one wants to list ksh variables in Pier (or any dollar-bracket text), then there can be issues if the line is not preformatted. This can be saved in an editor:
text \${bracket-text} other text $\{bracket-text} other text \$\{bracket-text} other
They are each displayed as:
text ${bracket-text} other
However if one removes the back-slashes and saves the text (but not as a line starting with an equal sign to make it preformatted) then it generates a walkback:
This is only a problem for users logged in and using Pier-Addons. If basic Pier is used (without loading the enhanced editor in PierAddons) the problem text causes it to display the editor with the error:Contents: Invalid input given
For blog comments and other text fields, the enhanced editor isn't opened.
It seemed like fixing this could be resolved by catching the exception and adding a backslash before the dollar sign. This can be changed in PRWysiwygEditor>>#document
, however it causes the same invalid input error, but at least it does not open a walkback. A long-term fix for this would likely be replacing the YUI editor.
