Can't make spacename with &

[r_vanderknaap]

I wanted to make a space called Marteking & Sales, but Alfresco does not allow te use & sign in spacenames.

Is this a bug? or a choise of Alfresco?

Are more people having this problem? Can I besolved or do I have to wait for a new Alfresco release (2.2 perhaps).

I'm currently working with Alfresco 2.1!

Thanks

That's a bug, the regular expression in the contentModel.xml has been changed to be less strict and allow '&' and other chars. But the web-client has it's own regex - this is wrong and will be fixed for 2.1 final. Thanks for spotting it!

So kevin, if I understand well what you said: This is now possible, with 2.1RC, to add content with a "&" in its name using cifs/webdav/ftp ???

I am wrong ?

If i am not, this is a great improvment, THANKS !

[kevinr]

Yes that is correct - it is now possible to do that, it should also have been possible in the web-client, but a step was missed, it will be fixed shortly.

Thanks,

Kevin
