account activation wrong url

[viper357]

Hello

I have been searching for over an hour and can't find an answer to my problem, please help   :

the account activation email contains this link...

http://www.reefclips.net:\/register.php?action=activate&activationkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

when i click on this link, it doesn't work and I have to remove the :\ manually in the address bar in order for the link to work.

how do I fix this, thank you

&activationkey=3adab3509340815527351d6c54d08e80

 

Never post random numbers such as SESSIONID and action keys.

Please replace your link with this one :

http://www.reefclips.net:\/register.php?action=activate&activationkey=xxxxxx

before it's too late !!

In your register.php file,

find :

if ($result) {
      $activation_url = $script_url."/register.php?action=activate&activationkey=".$activationkey;

      include(ROOT_PATH.'includes/email.php');
      $site_email = new Email();
      $site_email->set_to($user_email);
      $site_email->set_subject($lang['register_success_emailsubject']);
      $site_email->register_vars(array(
        "activation_url" => $activation_url,

replace the bolded line :

"activation_url" => $activation_url,

with this one :

Code: [Select]


"activation_url" => (stripslashes(trim($activation_url))),


Then, retry the registration process again as you should not see the additional backslash again.

Check your includes/constants.php if you set manualy the SCRIPT_URL make sure it has correct formating and no trailing slash at the end.

But I think something wrong in global.php...make sure you have this block of code:

Code: [Select]

if (defined("SCRIPT_URL") && SCRIPT_URL != "") {
  $script_url = SCRIPT_URL;
}
else {
  $port = (!preg_match("/^(80|443)$/", getenv("SERVER_PORT"), $port_match)) ? ":".getenv("SERVER_PORT") : "";
  $script_url  = ($port_match[1] == 443) ? "https://" : "http://";
  $script_url .= (!empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) ? $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'] : getenv("SERVER_NAME");
  $script_url .= $port;
  $script_url .= (dirname($PHP_SELF) != "/") ? dirname($PHP_SELF) : "";
}If you do and its not altered, then try to add below that block this line:

Code: [Select]

echo $script_url;It should show you the site url on top of each page (dont worry about possible other error messages).

If it shows the correct url then the problem is somewhere between global.php and the code TheOracle showed...check if $script_url variable being altered somewhere...
