I have a redirect plugin working almost perfect.

Some values that should be catch it and send it as value of the url, change the characters. Those with problems are "&" and "="

I have a value as: 9853&zon=48&text=Volver

and out makes something like: http://miurl.com?loc=9853%26zon%3D48%26text%3DVolver

Takes "&" and change to %26 and "=" change to %3D

Could you tell me any way to introduce those values just to get
http://miurl.com?loc=9853&zon=48&text=Volver

Thanks

Hi epsdaniel,

The plug-in is behaving correctly and urlencoding what it thinks is is a value string.

Where are you getting this value "9853&zon=48&text=Volver" from?

It's actually 2 1/2 separate parameters: 9853 | zon=48 | text=Volver

You probably need just 9853 where you have this and then

zon=48
text=Volver

In the "Extra Fields Data" box. Or, if they are all variable data you need to split up the string into separate variables.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. Let me explain what I am trying to do.

You are right "It's actually 2 1/2 separate parameters: 9853 | zon=48 | text=Volver". Are 3 differents values." Are 3 differents values. the 1/2 left is loc=9853&zon=48&text=volver

I have a table with some values.
ide -- estacion -- relacion -- Texto -- zona

9853 -- Grandvalira (todas las poblaciones)-- 2 -- Volver -- 48


I have a differents "select subcat". When the user select any of them takes "ide" and send it as value. That works perfect.

I need to catch for selected value when is submited the value "texto" (in all of them) and value "zona" (which could be empty and somes cases).

I do not know how to do it due I have dropdown - category and differentes dropdowns - subcategory. When I choose any category then the proper subcategory is enabled and display.

So I thought to print the values of "text" and "zona" into "ide". So in this case when the form ask the databe and takes value of select could take 9853&text=Volver&zone=48 (manually) but that no works.

Maybe if you point to me how to take the selected value of subcat and when I have this value (9853 in this case) look up the database and ask for text value and zona value (in case exist).

Thanks for your help Bob.

Hi Dani,

You can do the database lookup in either the plug-in Extra Code Before box; or the Form Code OnSubmit Before box:

<?php
$ide = JRequest::getInt('ide', 0, 'post');
if ( $ide ) {
  $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
  $query = "
    SELECT `Texto`, `zona`
      FROM `#__some_table`
      WHERE `ide` = '$ide' ;
  ";
  $db->setQuery($query);
  $data = $db->loadAssoc();
} else {
  $data = array('Texto' => '', 'zona' => '');
}
JRequest::setVar('text', $data['Texto']);
JRequest::setVar('zona', $data['zona']);
?>

You'll need to add place-holders in the Form HTML to create the boxes in the plug-in:

<input type='hidden' name='text' value=''>
<input type='hidden' name='zona' value=''>
