    Hi,

    there is a problem when a “&” is present in a link.

    Checking it in newsletter editor the link is correct (a phpbb forum link), but when you click it in the email you receive, in the browser address the “&” is changed in “&”, causing the phpbb message “this argument doesn’t exist etc.”.

    correct link: …viewtopic.php?f=27&t=339

    wrong link generated by wysija: …viewtopic.php?f=27&t=339

    Hello,

    thanks for the feedback.

    You mean ampersand “&” are encoded as “&”.

    Correct? Let us know! Kim

    lol,

    realized only after your email that this forum changed the code of &, so… again:

    Checking it in newsletter editor the link is correct (a phpbb forum link), but when you click it in the email you receive, in the browser address the “&” is changed in:
    "&",

    causing the phpbb message “this argument doesn’t exist etc.”.

    correct link: …viewtopic.php?f=27&t=339

    ok, even if between the tag “code” the result is the same hahaha

    again (now with spaces):

    correct link: …viewtopic.php?f=27&t=339

    Hehe. The forum here is encoding all our &_amp; as “&” 🙂

    Anyway, I understand what you mean.

    Thanks for the bug report. I confirm we have the same issue on our tests sites.

    It seems a solution for this is to open wysija-newsletters/controllers/front/stats.php file and

    Find:

    $this->redirect($decodedUrl);

    and replace with:

    $this->redirect(html_entity_decode($decodedUrl));

    Hi,

    Here is a fix for the redirection error.

    Juste replace the file wysija-newsletters/controller/front/stats.php with the one zipped here:

    Let me know
    Cheers,

    I dig a little bit deeper and maybe a better fix (than modifying stats.php file as described in my original post) is to fix it in wysija-newsletters/helpers/mailer.php file:

    Find:

    $urlencoded=urlencode(base64_encode($v));

    Replace with:

    $urlencoded=urlencode(base64_encode(html_entity_decode($v)));

    Find:

    $urlencoded=urlencode(base64_encode($urlreuse));

    Replace with:

    $urlencoded=urlencode(base64_encode(html_entity_decode($urlreuse)));

    Well spotted Chandle 🙂

    Indeed the source of the problem is there.

    But for sent newsletter the stats.php fix is important.

    Cheers,
    Ben
