"Subscribe Labels" issue for "&&"
We are creating a labels feature for predefined labels. We have a set of 5 labels out of which 4 are having "&" in them. They are as below
1.) lorem & ipsum
2.) lorem1 the ipsum
3.) ipsum & lorem
4.) ipsumtwo & lorem
5.) ipsum & ipsum
The issue comes on the filteredbylabelpage page, when we click on subscribe link for the labels which have "&", they take us to Item Not Found page but works fin for the label 2 in the above list. After debugging, we found that lithium does not convert the "&" in the URL to its ASCII value in the URL and keeps it as "&"
below are the URLs

it didn't change it to ascii, hence all the text after that is now working as a parameter.

Is there any fix for this or do we have to replace "&" with and. Also, can this issue occur with any other character, such as a "/" or "-" etc. we haven't tested these.
Hey Gursimrat,
Looks like you found a bug. A bug has been filed in the system regarding this.
For now I would suggest "and" instead of "&" as you suggested. As for the other characters, labels cannot contain the characters '/', '\', '#', '?', or ';' and the system will not allow you to create labels with those characters. "-" looks to be fine to use.
Thank you for letting us know about this,
Yuri
