PHP links in product text.

[Elsewhere]

Hi!

This is my first post on this great forum.

I'm here on a 'mission' from a client that uses osC.

 

I have not used osCommerce myself so it's an adventure :D

 

To the problem:

If the client makes a link to a PHP page on another site, like this: 'www.test.com/test.php', in the product text it gets converted to 'www.test.com/test.html'.

 

The shop uses something that converts the internal links to products and categories so that the real adress is hidden:

Instead of, for instance 'www.myclientsserver.se/index.php?section=Golf', the link is 'http://www.myclientsserver.se/c14/Golf.htm'.

 

This must be a script on the site because the file does not exist on the server...

:-"

 

I really need help with this! :(

 

Hope someone here can help me!

The site is probably using URL rewriting via a .htaccess file. The Ultimate URL contribution does this.

 

What exactly is your problem?

When I want to link to a external site with .php at the end the site rewrites the link so that the .php in the end becomes .htm.

 

Like this:

If I, in admin under a product, types in this:

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php

when I save the product information the link has changed to:

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.htm

 

I found out that the linux software and osC is a Ensim package...

I found, and solved, the problem.

 

It was "SEF Link Transformer for osCommerce" that was configed so that it changed every .php to .html.

 

I made a rule so that when I link to a .php file i write filename.ppp instead, and then transform it to php with the script.
