October CMS Tricks

List Export Character Encoding Issues​

If you're using the OC Import/Export Controller you may notice that it encodes quotes in the CSV.

If you'd like to convert them back, add the following code to a boot() method in a Plugin.php

\Event::listen('backend.list.overrideColumnValue', function($list, $record, $column, $value) {
    return html_entity_decode($value, ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8");
});
