page doesn't validate due to pagination link..

[Guest smallmouse]

Hello

I am testing all my pages for xhtml validation and the page with the pagination on it is not validating due to a missing & in the link to the pagination.

does anyone know what file I can amend the actual link to the pagination in please?

Thanks

Lisa.

Look in viewCat.inc.php.

Look in viewCat.inc.php.

Hi Thanks for your reply. I don't know whether I am being really thick, but I just can't see the link in there?

Do you know what line it is on?

Thanks so much.

Lisa.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Yes, I have a fix for it. Surprisingly you are the first ever to ask in the forums that I have seen. I offer a third-party validation service, and regularly see errors in CubeCart stores due to this.

To fix this validation issue, open the file classes/db.inc.php

Find the following line of code, it is a part of the code for the paginate function and is found around line 130 in 3.0.17 file:

$queryString = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));

Change that code to this:

$queryString = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));

voila! Your validation error should be a thing of the past.

There is a similar issue in the browser title if you have an ampersand in a category name.

Not quite worked out a fix yet.
