Single quote in name of location address 11 years 2 months ago #26341

Hi,

In my country, the Netherlands, there are a few towns which have their names spelled with a single quote (or rather: an apostrophe). Examples:

's Hertogenbosch
's Gravenhage

It seems that this quote causes the Google maps display of RSEventsPro to break (RSEvents!Pro 1.0.0 rev 3).

Now a strange detail is that most of these names have two spelling varieties: one with single quote and one without (please don't ask me why):

's Hertogenbosch = Den Bosch
's Gravenhage = Den Haag

When entering an address into RSEventsPro, the Google Maps database gives an automatisch prompt which features the variety with the single quote, I suppose that this is because in our country this is the 'preferred' or 'official' spelling, whereas the other one is considered to be 'common language'. However it is possible to overrule the prompted variety by manually entering the other one.

I am glad that I've found this out because it broke the map display on this page: www.wereldverteldag.nl/evenementen

I'm letting you know for several reasons:
  • I am using RSEventsPro for some time now, both on this its and on other sites and I never experienced this before. It seems that something has changed.
  • On this site, non-registered users are allowed to submit their events. This makes it difficult to give instructions on specific issues like this one.

So hopefully there's a way to make the address "single-quote safe".

Kind regards,
Frits
