The encoding is actually done in the FTL file. By default all "String" objects are encoded for reasons of security and so that special characters don't get interpreted as HTML.

In cases like this where we don't want encoding the easiest way around it is to change it to not be a String object and there is a little utility method for that: StringUtil.wrapString(). Basically just do something like the following:

${StringUtil.wrapString(productPromo.promoText?if_exists)}

I have found out why the Gantt Chart does not work(in my revision and on the 904demo)

The problem is that, OFBiz is generating Items like this out of the tasklist in gantChart.ftl g.AddTaskItem(new JSGantt.TaskItem(9102,"task1","12/03/2007", "12/05/2007","009900", "&#47 ;projectmgr/control/taskView?workEffortId=9102", 0 , "16.0 Hrs", 0 , 0, 9101, 1));

if I change the above statically to this

g.AddTaskItem(new JSGantt.TaskItem(9103,"task2","12/05/2007", "12/16/2007","009900", "/projectmgr/control/ taskView?workEffortId=9103", 0 , "24.0 Hrs", 0 , 0, 9101, 1, 9102));

the, the chart displays nicely.

Tracking it back to the code, I found  these in GantChart.groovy

taskInfo.estimatedStartDate = UtilDateTime.toDateString(taskInfo.estimatedStartDate, "MM/dd/yyyy"); taskInfo.estimatedCompletionDate = UtilDateTime.toDateString(taskInfo.estimatedCompletionDate, "MM/dd/ yyyy");

I however can't seem to find a method on UtilDateTime that will avoid the encoding.

Whiles I can produce the patch, I think this is very trivial and should be fixed by an OFBiz Committer so it can go into the right branches and whatever is involved in making a change.

I am testing the project manager application.



It seems to me that the project manager application gantt-diagram does not
display correctly.



Am I wrong? It seems that the duration is not correctly calculated.



Look at the following link:
