url problems after upgrade ( amp; )

Hangin' Around Joined: Oct 29, 2007 Posts: 30

Hello !

I had PHPNuke v7.9 and all was fine. Now that I upgraded to 8.0, the Content Module adds

Code:

amp;

after

Code:

in the url.

Yes! The url are rewrited, and the page is not displayed...

For example, an url without amp;
becomes
modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=14

Shocked

I don't know what to do. Please, help me! How can I remove these "amp;" after the "&" ?

I don't understand. There is nothing wrong with that link. What are you using to shorten your links? (See my signature line below... Wink

Thank you for your answer.

I don't use nothing to shorten and/or to rewrite the links, and that's the problem. Since the upgrade, all my links now contain

Code:

amp;

after each

Code:

character and so they don't work Crying or Very sad

The Content module generates "& amp;" (without the space between the & and the amp;) instead of just "&". With "&" it works. Do you know how to remove these amp; in the urls?

Have you used a source comparison tool to see what changes between releases for the modules/Content directory?

No, I didn't. I even didn't know such a tool exists.

Can you show us on your site? Generally & characters will work as long as they are embedded as an HTML link. That is proper syntax - my guess is that the WYSIWYG editor tries to correct such syntax for compliance.

Thanks again to everyone!

You can take a look at http://www...com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=17. If you click on the first link, you should see this page: http://www...com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=40...

I am not sure this is the WYSIWYG editor, because, if I take a look at the generated HTML code (I click on "Edit HTML Source", in the Content WYSIWYG editor), I see:

<a href="modules.php ? name = Content&pa = showpage & pid = 40">D'ABI<br />
(without the spaces)

It looks like you've gotten extra amps in your database. You'll probably have to go into your database and remove them.

How do I do to go into my database and remove them? Confused

It is probably in the MySQL database?

Look at your content table in phpMyAdmin if you have access to that. You should be able to tell if they are in your database by doing that.

Thanks. Here is what I have. I hope it will help, because I don't understand nothing at this Razz

Code:

SELECT * 


FROM `..._nuke`.`nuke_pages` 


WHERE (


`pid` LIKE '%amp;%'


OR `cid` LIKE '%amp;%'


OR `title` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `subtitle` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `active` LIKE '%amp;%'


OR `page_header` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `text` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `page_footer` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `signature` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


OR `date` LIKE '%amp;%'


OR `counter` LIKE '%amp;%'


OR `clanguage` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%amp;%'


USING latin1 ) 


COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci


)


LIMIT 0 , 30

Mmmh!! Ok! I could remove the amps directly with editing my text in PHPMyAdmin... So, that's great!!!

But the best would be that these amps never come again in the urls. Because, I will always have the same problem!

Look at this link:
http://www...com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=52 (I did a test, with a new page).

Do you have an idea how to remove the problem definitly?

I think it is probably a bug with PHP-Nuke 8.0 (which we aren't too fond of around here). Are you using the PHP-Nuke WYSIWYG editor to type in the content? You could try turning that off.

You might also consider switching to RavenNuke....new version coming out "soon'. Wink

In fact, I am seriously thinking of switching to RavenNuke...

Turning the WYSIWYG editor off did change nothing Sad

kadabram, it really is a "no brainer":

PHP-Nuke 8.0 --> no support from the author

RavenNuke --> incredible support from ALL the authors right here!

The "math" sure seems to add up to me. Laughing

Ok, I will install it this week-end. Smile
