Multiple Choices error with Event Booking Calendar addon

I have a script for an Event Booking Calendar that is redirected from an EZ page into a common html page because the EZ page will not handle a PHP.

For some reason it appears that Zen Cart is creating some extra "stuff" that is added to the end of the file being redirected to. This creates a "Multiple Choices" error as seen here:

Multiple Choices
The document name you requested (/event_calendar/event_calendar.html**&zenid=74e1d51019e41281763762d027627419**) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.

Available documents:

/event_calendar/event_calendar.html (common basename) 

Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.

What is bolded in the above is the extra added by Zin Cart.
Can anyone help to eliminate this?

The url so that you can see it happen yourself is:

http://www.bonsaitoolchest.com/

When you get to my site, go to the "Important Links" box on the right and click on "Calendar of Events".

Thanks

Re: Multiple Choices error with Event Booking Calendar addon

Looks like you may have hard-coded the zenid into the External Link when you created the EZ page.

When I go into Ez pages, this hard-coding is not there. How would I have put any hard-coding in there? And how do I get it out, permanently?

Re: Multiple Choices error with Event Booking Calendar addon

I have tried going into Ez pages and deleting the link I have to the internal URL and typing it in again, letter for letter, not by pasting it in and it does not help. The extra hard coding is finding it's way in by it's self. What gives???

Its how you have constructed the link, probably using a zen cart function.

When you first go to your site.
If you roll over any of the links you will see that they all have a zenid appended at the end, including the link you are having problems with.

Click any link then rollover the links again and you will see that the zenid has gone.
Now clicking on that problem link will work fine.

You will need to build the link without using the internal zen link functions that automatically append the zenid when you first enter your site.

Sorry, but yo have totally lost me.
Your first paragraph; "probably using a zen cart function", the only thing I did was type the url into the internal link box. Is that considered a zen cart function?

How do a build the link without using the internal link function??

Re: Multiple Choices error with Event Booking Calendar addon

Did you already try typing it in the external link?

I had not thought to do that since it was not external. But I have now tried it this way and it seems to work better. It takes a little longer to load but that is better than not loading at all. Being external, Zen Cart does not give it a zenID.

For now the problem is solved.

Thanks for your help all!!!
