Problems with Google Maps URLs [fixed]

Just started moving a site to YACS (only 4 pages) and the only problem I have come across is that the google maps URL does seem to work (using the YACS click.php link system)

I don't know if this is a bug (but will investigate when I get time).

Cheers, Nick

Nick, YACS 6.10 features a filter to ensure harmless URLs. Maybe this filter is too strong and strip some characters of the link. Can you please provide the link to let me check that?

NickR: Ok, apparently characters ',' and '+' were missing from the new filter. Fixed in shared/global.php at lines 119:

if(!defined('FORBIDDEN_CHARS_IN_URLS'))
    define('FORBIDDEN_CHARS_IN_URLS', '/[^\w~_:@\/\.&#;\,+%\?=-]+/');

Also, the filter applied to links has to changed at line 489 of codes/codes.php as follows:

function &clean_href($text) {

    // suppress invalid chars
    $output =& preg_replace(FORBIDDEN_CHARS_IN_URLS, '_', stripslashes($text));
    return $output;

}
