Magento 1.4 product-name quotes are converted to html and then escaped

Created on 2010-Feb-23
Updated on 2010-Nov-10

After upgrading from magento 1.3 to 1.4, if your product headings used quotes " " or ampersands & , then magento may convert these into HTML and then escape that HTML counterparts hence showing e.g.:

"Thermo Balance" Tub & Shower Valve Rough In Valve

like:

"Thermo Balance" Tub & Shower Valve Rough In Valve

The fix is to go into "view.phtml" and change:

            <h1 class="product-name">
                <?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()), 'name') ?>
            </h1>

to

            <h1 class="product-name">
                <?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName())?>
            </h1>

New Server Checklist for directadmin (2009)

Created on 2009-Jan-08
Updated on 2011-Oct-17

-Add all your ips in directadmin under "IP management"
(and assign 2 ips to admin)
http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2222/CMD_IP_MANAGER

-Register nameserver at registrar
(namecheap.com is my fav; networksolution.com is the worst for this... it's not longer an option you can click on the website, you have to send an email request for this)

-Add nameservers to server:
1. go to user level, and add the new domain you registered (leave default settings, and tweak them after)
2. go back to reseller level, and click "nameserver" and select 2 ips you want to use and click "create" then set the 2 new nameservers for "Set the Nameservers that will be assigned to new users" (it should be added by default)

-Share nameserver ips (so you're able to add other domains to them):
