Make all title fields print single and double quotes instead of '

This is a hack, but I can't seem to get titles fields only to print in plaintext (so that quotes show up as quotes instead of code). Here are the modules that I applied and tested in hopes that it would fix this problem:

• #1915492: views_json: HTML entities (such as ') still appear even with $plaintext_output chosen This patch successfully made it work when plaintext was enabled. Unfortunately the setting is display-wide, making all fields plaintext.
• #1915446: views_json:Hexadecimal encoding options are not recognized in style settings for use with other bitmask options in json_encode() This patch successfully made it possible to save changes in the selectbox for decoding characters like this. Previously, it wouldn't save those changes. I had hoped this might make something click. This patch fixed this problem but didn't help me.
• #1480884: views field templates not working This patch is supposed to make views_datasources respect field tpl.php files, but it didn't seem to work for me.

Since there's no obvious solution, I hacked this module to decode when the field id is title. Not pretty, I know. But it works, and maybe this is something that can help other people in my position. Obviously I don't expect this to be accepted by the maintainer, but perhaps someone will wander across this issue and figure out a less hacky solution. :-)

      /*

      if ($field->id == "title"){
        $field->content = htmlspecialchars_decode($field->content, ENT_QUOTES);
      }
      /* END HACKING THIS MODULE */

My hack is relative to json, but I imagine this could apply to others if you hack those files as well.
