Hi all,

I’m currently trying to call in external images and manipulating them with JIT. Because they’re external I don’t have any control over their naming conventions and unfortunately a few of them seem to be breaking JIT.

An example image is:

When I link to

http://www.mysite.com/image/2/210/138/5/1/1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJVefyrdnbQ/S_PpxySYRdI/AAAAAAAAATE/vUsylk5KUN4/s640/Snapshot+2010-05-19+14-32-12.jpg

The ‘+’ symbol in the image filename seems to be breaking JIT.

I found a post on the forum here which mentions using JIT’s messy url which when I url encode the ‘+’ symbol seems to get a result:

This works, but I’m no longer sure how to pass my JIT parameters through defining the crop values. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks!

Ben

Ah seems that url escaping the ‘+’ symbol works with normal clean URLs too - not sure why I didn’t try that in the first place!

Escaping Symphony keyword symbols is a good workaround. During our recent Working Group meeting, this has been raised to ensure this is in Symphony’s documentation going forward to increase awareness of this method.
