Textarea won't display a dollar sign & 2 numbers

I saw where Houstonlively posted something about this http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1046 but I don't see a resolution.  I've searched via google but can't seem to find what's causing it.  Anyone have a fix or suggestion?

Example: "Only $125 for" stored in the db table renders in the browser as "Only 5 for".  Is it a purifier or something?

I can confirm it happens, i just got around this bug while working on a module and it happens in "bx_repeat" loop only. The template parser somehow escapes it multiple times maybe, ofc i didn't looked in detail cuz even if i do i can't fix it for dolphin so i just get around it with running my text through.

str_replace('$', '$', $sStr);

I just used the entity for dollar and saved it from getting played up in

BxDolTemplate.php line 1307

$sValue = str_replace('$', '\\$', $aValues[$i]);

Probably a Moderator should move this to bug reports.

Reading through the comments on that ticket does not exactly make you feel all warm and fuzzy about Boonex; it appears the ticket was set to fixed without a fixed actually being done.  If I am wrong, then someone please correct me and tell the OP here what the fix was.

Your not wrong. There was no fix. They could never reproduce it.

I can't reproduce it on my site either.

Then it was wrong for the ticket to be closed and set to fixed.

These are the hardest bugs to track down.  Perhaps with two reports, list what is common about the two; server config, php, mysql versions, etc.  Perhaps we can see something this time that was not possible with just one report back four years ago.

Most dolphin blocks are generated through search class so no regression there. You gotta create a block that takes an array of content and use it in "bx_repeat" to generate the content. If you're confused about it, i can provide the full instruction with code.

REVISION: Still investigating. Just fyi, I did discover that $120 works ok in the Store Event module but drops the $12 in the Event Store module. 

I'm going to see if some pages are calling different TinyMCE iteration in the BaseEditorTinyMCE.php file.  Weird.

Okay lets do a test. Install the module attached and visit "yousite.com/m/bloggie" and check what you see. Post a screenshot or PM me your site address please.

btw here's mine

EDIT: I am running php 5.4.12 with apache 2.4.4 the basic wamp setup and i have seen this problem on php 5.3.3 and apache on centos.

Nice. I'll have to do it later, got a lot of other 'real' work to do and it's getting late here.  Appreciate your help.

It is that repeat tag causing issues.  I found a couple of posts on a google search that indicate this is not a TinyMCE issue because other text editors are doing it too.

Good catch on what's causing it. Maybe someone will figure out why one of these days :)  For now, the str_replace('$', '$', $sStr);hack prashank25 suggests works fine.  Thank you.
