Guest JohnnyLi Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 When I try to add hyper links (even if it is an e-mail link or a link to another URL) to some of the Site Documents, like "About Us", the URL is always turns out like http://mydomain.com/\"mailto:[email protected]\" - Emails The above is exactly what it says when I roll over it and the URL shows up at the bottom of the browser. Shouldn't the link simply say mailto:[email protected] ? It does something similar with HTTP links, having the backslash and quotes in the URL. So the trouble is, I'm guessing, that the http://mydomain.com, the backslashes, and the quotes are unnecessary, but I don't know how to fix this. Anyone out there know how? --------- A couple more questions. If I purchase a license, where do I input the code/install the file so that I can remove the (powered by Cube Cart) and the footer copyright? Also, will the license be valid for life? Thanks in advance. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Try putting your links in using the Source function. Code as: <a href="http://wwww.whatever">link text</a> Or if you have the link added elsewhere you can usually copy/paste it in the fckeditor. Your license code is added at the admin login screen and is valid for 1 domain for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyLi Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks for the reply But when I use the Source editor and use <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> It automatically adds some backslashes and quotes " to the mailto: URL again, so it looks like this. <a href="\"mailto:[email protected]\"">[email protected]</a>. It does the same to normal URLs. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 windows server issues, can't help are you doing this on a local installation, or on the web? at any rate, I know it's not helpful, but I've gotta say, windows server sucks, sorry and seriously, best resolution is move the site to an apache unix / linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyLi Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hmm, in the "Server Info" of Cube Cart, it says that I am on a Unix server. Server Software: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) ApacheJServ/1.1.2 PHP/4.3.10 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Rewrit/1.1a And Linux myhost.com 2.4.33.2 #5 SMP Wed Aug 23 11:00:53 EDT 2006 i686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 OK, it's the backslashes that threw me off - are you using frontpage to paste into fckeditor? Sorry, all out of ideas, and I have been warned about posting to threads where I am not able to help. Ducking out now. */* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyLi Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Nope, I'm not using Frontpage. I'm typing in the editor myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 which cc cersion, Johnny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyLi Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm just upgraded to 3.0.14, and still having the same problems. :/ Thanks for your patience markscarts, I really appreciate it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 no problem, just wish I could be of more help. Have you tried this with more than one browser? I had trouble with fckeditor shutting my browser down when trying to paste source code - this was browser FireFox 1.5.0.7 - until convict upgraded the fckeditor to a newer version. Anyway, I tried to duplicate your problem on a 3.0.14 installation on my local machine, but when I attempted this, it shut my FF browser down. Didn't try explorer, just been very busy - but I'm interested to know whether you experience the same behavior with more than one browser in the fckeditor. Will compare fckeditor version number on my live site with the one that installed in 3.0.14 locally and post back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 hmm, it appears that the version I'm using on my live store is 2.2, while the one that ships with CC3.0.14 is 2.0 Good news is that I found the answer to your problem using the forum search function: http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....hl=magic+quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
