[confirm] Skin Engine - Define cuts value if there's a : inside (1 Viewer)

[Lehmden]

Hi.
If you want to use a path or something else containing a : as value in a define tag, the value is cut of at this char.
E.g. <define>#test:c:\Windows</define> gives #test = c The rest of the value ( :\Windows ) is ignored completely...
I don't think this is the expected behaviour so I believe this is a bug. Especially as there are no brackets or other chars one can use to capsule the value...

Try escaping the \ by using \\

Hi.
The Backslash is not the problem, this works... The problem is that you can not use :
I encountered this issue on Moving Pictures hyperlinkParameters. "categoryid:16" did not work as "categoryid" is the only result you got. But on path it's the same problem and it's more common...

Maybe it would help to escape the ":". For your example this would be:

<define>#test:c\:\Windows</define>
