Hi,

I have a variable trying to load and for some reason EE2 is adding some extra code that does not let my flash application load.

var flashvars = {};
        flashvars.xml = "{site_url}index.php/embeds/config.xml";

and what is coming out is this:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php/embeds/config.xml?t=1286224420728">http://www.mysite.com/index.php/embeds/config.xml?t=1286224420728</a>

My question is, how do I get rid of the extra

?t=1286224420728

that ee2 is genereting??? I already try adding this to the .htacces file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

but I do not know how to remove the rest.

Thank you

Hey redgizmo
just tried the code you posted and I am not getting the ?t=1323321321 extra code

[removed]
var flashvars = {};
        flashvars.xml = "{site_url}index.php/embeds/config.xml";  
 [removed](flashvars.xml);       
[removed]

outputs : http://test.mysite.ca/index.php/embeds/config.xml

are u using the code within a channel entry? if so check that channel’s preferences and see if turning off the Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links? parameter to NO see if that helps

Thanks for the assist, codeM.

redgizmo, does that help?

Actually, it’s technically not an EE issue. I found out that the Flash application we were passing the xml to was adding the code to the end of the url, probably to prevent caching, but I don’t have access to the source code of the application.

By adding it, it confuses EE and it renders the default page instead of the xml. Is there a way to remove it with the htaccess or to get EE to ignore it?

Unfortunately I am not aware of an immediate solution here. Your best option would in fact be to change the app creating the XML. Let me move this to the CodeShare Corner for you for some additional community support.
