Hey guys i published an instance of mod_community_quicksearch to my frontpage, the advanced search link in the lower area of this module doesnt link correctly, it links to a strange URL /_QQQ_/advanced-search_QQQ_ which is not found.

Could you please help me resolve this problem?

Hi Kris,

I can not reach your administrator page right now :)


Maybe you can take a look at Your_Joomla_Folder > Modules >mod_community_quicksearch > tmpl > default.php
look at line 13, it must be like :

<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH', CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=search&task=advancesearch') , JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_TITLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH') ); ?>

COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH="<a href=_QQQ_%1$s_QQQ_>Advanced Search</a>"

Hi David, im terribly sorry i had a .htaccess in my admin folder restricting access by ip, i did check the files you suggested tho.

1. <div class="app-box-footer">

<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH', CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=search&task=advancesearch') , JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_TITLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH') ); ?>

and 2. COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH="<a href=_QQQ_%1$s_QQQ_>Advanced Search</a>"

It all appears to be correct, the files for my jomsocial install are all untouched so to speak the only changes i have made i have done with overides so as not to get in trouble when applying updates, I have renamed the htaccess so you should have no problem getting into the admin area now.

Thankyou for your assistance.

Hi Kris,

Quick fix, open this file language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini find this :

COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH="<a href=_QQQ_%1$s_QQQ_>Advanced Search</a>"

COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH="<a href='%1$'>Advanced Search</a>"

Thanks David, i tried that, but it only returned \n so i changed the language file entry to

COM_COMMUNITY_TRY_ADVANCED_SEARCH="<a href=/search/advancesearch>Advanced Search</a>"

which has done the trick

hi Kris,

So i will mark this as resolved right :) Have a great day Kris :) Thanks for your attention :)

Warm Regards,

David
