Why extra letters appear in URL?

[chooch]

even if you are not using CCGV, Points reward or anything like that, please advise me on how to get rid of the extra 4 letters that appear in the URL after i press Redeem in the checkout_payment page

 

ok, this is what the URL should look like when an empty coupon redeem button is hit on the checkout:

 

catalog/checkout_payment.php?payment_error=ot_gv&error=You+did+not+enter+a+redeem+code.

 

it should allow error messages to be displayed on top

 

BUT

 

this is what i am getting:

 

catalog/checkout_payment.php?payment_error=ot_gv&error=You+did+not+enter+a+redeem+code.

 

amp; appears for no reason just before the word 'error' means that i get the red error box but not the error messages

 

please can someone advise me on how to fix this problem.

 

many, many thanks. i have spent over 18 hours trying fix it but now just give up

It looks as though your system is rendering the symbol '&' in its ASCII form, which is & (for 'ampersand').

 

Look for the code below in includes/functions/html_output.php

 

if (tep_not_null($parameters)) {

$link .= $page . '?' . tep_output_string($parameters);

$separator = '&';

} else {

$link .= $page;

$separator = '?';

}

 

It looks as though yours reads '&' instead of just '&'

you are a great help

 

thanks to you i know now that the problem is happening because of the SEO URL's i installed

 

the above code was replaced with this:

 

function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) {

global $seo_urls;

if ( !is_object($seo_urls) ){

if ( !class_exists('SEO_URL') ){

include_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'seo.class.php');

}

global $languages_id;

$seo_urls = new SEO_URL($languages_id);

}

return $seo_urls->href_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id);

}

 

i am trying to work on it now and have posted a message on the relevant support thread. if you can see what needs to done to fix it please let me know

 

thanks again Rhea :-)

Was a Fix ever placed for the ampersand not being displayd as & in the URL?

Having SEO urls running is messing up my payment errors.
