Hi -

I have a URL I’m trying to form that looks like this:

<a href="http://{path=somewhere/{username}}">Link</a>

The URL that is outputted is this, which is broken because somewhere the closing bracket gets stripped from username:

<a href="http://myurl.com/somewhere/{username}">http://myurl.com/somewhere/{username'}</a>

If I hack it to this (missing closing single quote mark) all seems to be well:

<a href="http://{path=somewhere/{username}}">Link</a>

Returns as designed:

<a href="http://myurl.com/somewhere/myusername">http://myurl.com/somewhere/myusername</a>

It seems that this same issue is causing errors in redirects as well:

{redirect='somewhere/{username}'}

Redirects to here as a broken URL:

<a href="http://myurl.com/somewhere/{username">http://myurl.com/somewhere/{username</a>

Using:
EE 2.2.0
Solspace User 3.3.2

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, atomicglue.

Welcome to the EE forums.

It is indeed a bug, I can replicate the problem you’re seeing. It works just fine in EE2.1.3.

I’ve reported this as a bug. In the meantime, please add the additional } until the bug in fixed. Thanks in advance for your patience.

I found this bug in 2.5.2 (not sure it’s not just parse order, however)

I got around this using Mo Variables and the {logged_in_username} variable.

At least for the redirect. I didn’t test on path though, I bet it will work as well.

Thanks to @Existencedesign for the tip.

Hey Nate!

Thanks for the extra info and the bug reminder!

Cheers,
