Hello,

when I invite users to a team, they get a broken link via pm:

http://example.com/teams.php?do=viewteam&id=10

When I delete the "amp;", the link works. Do you have a fix for that?

Ah, I think you're having exactly the same problem I am. Manually replacing & with & fixes it for me. Just need the system to send the correct link in the first place!

Did you fix a code in a template or a file or do you always fix the link before sending the PM?

I did neither. I just tried doing exactly what you did.

I'm unable to replicate this - are you running latest version?

The only thing I can think of is to make sure template tmnt_inviteteam uses

{vb:raw message}

not

{vb:var message}

[Fields]

Yes, I am using the latest version. The template is correct (some phrases are translated):

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_suggest.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>

<form name="vbform" action="teams.php?do=inviteteam&amp;teamid={vb:raw team.teamid}" method="post">
<h2 class="blockhead">Benutzer in dein Team einladen</h2>
<div class="blockbody formcontrols">
	<div class="blockrow">
		<label for"users" class="floatcontainer">Benutzer</label>
		<ul class="multifield group">
			<li>
				<div id="userfield" class="popupmenu nomouseover noclick nohovermenu">
					<textarea class="primary full textbox popupctrl" name="users" id="userfield_txt" tabindex="1" autocomplete="off" rows="2" cols="50"></textarea>
				</div>
			</li>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<div class="blockrow">
		<label for"message">Nachricht</label>
		<div>
			<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="4" cols="75">{vb:raw message}</textarea>
		</div>
	</div>
	<vb:if condition="$team['invited_players']">
	<div class="blocksubhead">
		Benutzer, die bereits eingeladen wurden: <br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;">{vb:raw team.invited_players}</span>	
	</div>
	</vb:if>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	usss = new vB_AJAX_NameSuggest('usss', 'userfield_txt', 'userfield');
	usss.allow_multiple = true;
//-->
</script>
<div class="blockfoot actionbuttons">
	<div class="group">
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="inviteteam" />
		<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />
		<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
		<input name="teamid" type="hidden" value="{vb:raw team.teamid}" />
        <input type="submit" class="button" value="{vb:rawphrase go}" />
        <a href="{vb:raw team.url}" class="button">{vb:rawphrase cancel}</a>
	</div>
</div>
</form>

Edit teams.php

Find line

PHP Code:

$message = "Please join my team \r\n\r\n [url]".$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/".$team['url']."[/url]"; 


Add before

PHP Code:

$team['url'] = str_replace("&","&",$team['url']); 


[Fields]

Thanks, I'll give it a try

[Fields]

Okay, I checked it, the link still doesn't work because of the &

There is something weird: I get a notification when I received a PN on my site. In this mail, there is a preview of the PN, and the link in there is correct.
