Problem with users website url in in members list

Topic:	Problem with users website url in in members list
YukonGt Softmore Posts: 52 Posted: 19.Mar 2004 - 06:55	I tried searching the site for answers, but did not come across one. Here is my problem. In your profile you can specify a URL to a personal site. Well, when you go to the members list and click on the link to their personal site it gives the URL as: www.yourdomain.com/www.theirdomain.com (a generic example) You can view this at" http://www.e-bassangler.com/Members_List+inc-^letter-M-sortby-uname-authid-622e3ddbec40a78851db1226409a592a.html Look at the URL for "bearpaw". It shows the URL as http://www.e-bassangler.com/www.bearpawshandpouredbaits.com Can anyone help me? Thanks James www.e-bassangler.com

I began PN with .723 and am now running .726 -- Yes, I have checked the pnGuide and done a search on the forums before posting my question.

When a member adds the URL to their website (or in my case, to their personal webpage within my site) the URL would be as the following: http://www.ozsportsbikes.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=User_Pages&file=index&action=view&mid=2 But when you enter this URL into Account Info and save it, it changes the URL to the following: http://www.ozsportsbikes.com/modules.php?opmodload&nameUser_Pages&fileindex&actionview&mid2 Notice it has taken all the "=" characters out..... How can I fix this?
Duster Professional Posts: 807 Posted: 31.Mar 2004 - 08:00	There is a way to prevent this problem, but it involves a measure you may or may not care for. I have registration moderated via pncUserhack. Whenever I see a URL missing the http://, I add it before approving the registration. Ideally, the http:// would be added if it was not already present. My old perl forum program worked like that. Unfortunately, PN doesn't at present. If you do choose this solution, note that it will not work with the forthcoming .75 release though its features will be included in .8. That means you'd have to skip upgrading to .75 as I will. -- Yes, I have checked the pnGuide and done a search on the forums before posting my question.

It's not the http:// I am having probs with... it's a problem with the PN taking out the = from the address. This has been fixed in .750. Unfortunately without digging through the code in CVS I can't give you the exact fix. -Mark
RooMeat Helper Posts: 171 Posted: 31.Mar 2004 - 17:32	When will .750 be released?
Simon online Steering Committee Posts: 13427 Posted: 31.Mar 2004 - 17:36	Not for a few weeks - we are looking at a pnCorps only release for quality assurance purposes within the next week or so. -- Regards, Simon itbegins.co.uk - Zikula Consulting Please read the Support Guide
