crazy text when trying to create a link in desc.

[Guest grafixster]

Sry, i posted this originally in Version 2.

I'm still not able to get a hyperlink to work in the preoduct description. I was able to make a hyperlink by faking a few things.

What I'm trying to do is have a play link for the product (custom beats). The product name I simply kept as the url of the .mp3.

In the viewCat.tpl I created this:

<a href="{TXT_DESC}">Play</a>

In setting up the description of the product, I put the path to the file. So TXT_DESC is equal to the following:

/demos/beats/rap/1.mp3

This works except for 1 dag'blasted thing. When viewing the cart and clicking on the link, there is some additional text autoinserted after the link somewhere.

http://www.domain.com/demos/beats/rap/1.mp3%E2%80%A6

Where is this coming from and why? %E2%80%A6

Thanks!

Hi grafixster

Providing link to actual store URL always helps to see problem in action

bad applied &hellip entity (horizontal ellipsis [...])

open includes/content/viewCat.inc.php

Search for

$view_cat->assign("TXT_DESC",substr(strip_tags($productResults[$i]['description']),0,$config['productPrecis'])."…");

and replace with

$view_cat->assign("TXT_DESC",substr(strip_tags($productResults[$i]['description']),0,$config['productPrecis']));
