Topic: Corrupt config.xml when "&" is used in title in the Lightroom plugin

If I use a title with an "&" in it, the preview in Lightroom will not render and the generated config.xml will not work. Changing the "&" to "&" in the title or in the config.xml will make things work again.

Using juicebox 1.1.1 and lightroom plugin v1.1.1

Re: Corrupt config.xml when "&" is used in title in the Lightroom plugin

This is a known issue to which there is no known fix other than entering XML entities into the Gallery Title text field in their escaped forms as below:

& (Ampersand)                  ->    &
< (Left angle bracket)         ->    &lt;
> (Right angle bracket)        ->    &gt;
" (Straight quotation mark)    ->    &quot;
' (Apostrophe)                 ->    &apos;

Re: Corrupt config.xml when "&" is used in title in the Lightroom plugin

the only solution would be to make a config.xml schema change so the gallery title is a tag instead of an attribute. then we can use a CDATA element, where "&" and the others are no problem . . .

You could also set the Gallery Title in the embedding code rather than in the XML file.
Remove the following line from the 'juicebox.lrwebengine/config.xml' file:

galleryTitle="<%= model.nonCSS.jb_galleryTitle %>"

... and add the following line to the embedding code (immediately after the new juicebox({ line) in the 'juicebox.lrwebengine/index.html' file:

galleryTitle: '<%= model.nonCSS.jb_galleryTitle %>',

This is a nice solution, "&" works and <br /> works as a linebreak too.

Thank you!
