Bad link--Need help asap

[acalvello]

When new announcements are posted on our site, a email goes out to all registered users, notifying them of the announcement and giving them a link to the announcement page. Unfortunately, the embedded link is incorrect and fails to open. It reads:
http://thejei.com/index.php/JEI/announc ... nouncement

Where it should read: http://thejei.com/index.php/JEI/announcement

Please help as we are scheduled to publish our first issue this afternoon.
Thanks,
Angelo

Hi Angelo,

Sorry for the late reply -- we're a small team, and we can't always respond to support requests immediately.

I can't seem to replicate this. Could you forward an example email to me at jmacgreg at gmail dot com?

Cheers,
James

James-

I am a PHP programmer now working with Angelo and TheJEI.com.

This is the link that is generated for an announcement and broadcast as the permalink to it:

http://thejei.com/index.php/JEI/announcement/view/1

The link previous also appears in my notifications list when logged in as a Journal User, hyperlinked with the text "Go To URL".

It redirects to:

http://thejei.com/index.php/JEI/announc ... ouncement/ and shows a 404 error.

The following are the rewrite rules in our .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thejei.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.thejei.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/thejei\.com\/index\.php\/JEI" [R=301,L]

The correct link, and one that is hyperlinked from the short description in the Announcement Section of the front page of our journal is

http://thejei.com/index.php/JEI/announcement/view/4

In a nutshell, in some instances, the Journal is creating incorrect links to the announcements.

BTW, this installation is using version 2.3.1.

Alternatively, can you just let me know which files handle the announcements and generating the links?

Hi Rodger,

Thanks for the extra information -- I managed to replicate this and have filed a bug report at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5509. Please feel free to CC yourself for future updates.

Cheers,

First glance, looks like this one might be in

/lib/pkp/classes/announcement/PKPAnnouncementDAO.inc.php ???

[Rodger]

Thank you. The latest patch posted in the bugzilla has worked for us!
