Plugin redirect issue - htmlentities added to url

[Alan Sparkes]

I have a plugin which intercepts the request to edit content and redirects to my component controller.

Environemnt
Mamp

php 5.3 / Joomla 2.5.4

It looks like this:

$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();

//do some checks and then 

 

 $link = 'index.php?option=com_mycomp&sectionid=' . $sectionid . '&task=edit&cid[]=' . $id . '&version=' . $v . '';

        

$mainframe->redirect($link, $msg);

The weird thing is that the redirect url is rendering the '&' as ampersands/entites like '&'

So i get a redirected url from the $mainframe like this:

com_mycomp&sectionid=&task=edit&cid[]=71&version=1

 

So instead of routing to my components edit function it hits a different function altogether! 

If i manually remove the "&" from the url then it hits my edit function.

AM stumped to see how the "&" are getting into the urls.......

Anyone come across this?

Can post more code :)

You should redirect using JRoute class instead an string... Also check the docs to see what's for the second parameter of the function.
ie:
$link = JRoute::_('com_mycomp&sectionid=' . $sectionid . '&task=edit&cid[]=' . $id . '&version=' . $v . '', false)
$mainframe->redirect($link, $msg)

Hope it helps

Tried entering just direct url and running thru Jroute.

NO dice.

Interestingly normal Joomla URLs are also being ampersanded. This cant be right......maybe my mamp environment has gone squiffy.

Other admin components do not have this issue.Eg I looked at com_menus and those urls are ok.

I am doing some strange system plugin.
Am going to go over everything with a fine tooth comb....

So i get a redirected url from the $mainframe like this:

com_mycomp&amp;sectionid=&amp;task=edit&amp;cid[]=71&amp;version=1

 

So instead of routing to my components edit function it hits a different function altogether! 

If i manually remove the "&amp;" from the url then it hits my edit function.

AM stumped to see how the "&amp;" are getting into the urls.......

Solved: just left a var_dump($object->thing) in the onAfterInitialise function.

Weird but once removed all s well.
