Double url's when clicking links

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.7 and a template monster template (which btw costed me ten years off of my life).

My problem is that the links within the header (e.g. shopping cart and the news/article component I am using) appear to be doubled.

If you hover your mouse over the link 'more' the following url appears:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart

This link will show an 404 error. I don't have a clue since when this is happening and more important: I cannot locate this error. I only experience this error when clicking links within the side box headers.

Can someone help? Is this a Template Monster miss?

Thanks in advance!

If you are having a problem with the template you need to talk to TM.

I don't know if this is a TM error as it worked before (even after installing the TM template months ago).

Hello,

It sounds like the header links you are talking about are being called by a full http:// address when in zencartany link only needs to be called as the link itself as zencart adds the http://www.yoursite.com/prior to the link you are calling for:

sample: for home page

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(DIR_WS_CATALOG); ?>" title="Our Home Page"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?>

if you have <a href="http://www.yoursite.com " title="Our Home Page">Home</a>
It will auo add the DIR_WS_CATALOG witch will give you this

http://www.yoursite.com/ http://www.yoursite.com/whatever

you should have

<a href="whatever/" title="whatever Page">whatever</a>

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your response. However, I am not quite shure what you mean.

It's about the sidebox header link. Indeed the double url causes a 404 error. You can check my store at https://www.envii.eu and check the news side box (and click 'more').

Thanks.

Callan.

ok you need to remove this from the link
http://www.envii.eu/index.php?main_page=
the link should be this

index.php?main_page=news

I understand the problem, but I don't know where to change it. Which file do I need to adapt?

Unfortunately I cannot find it... :-(

i am sorry,

Go to includes/templates/templates_default/tpl_news_scroll_box.php

around line 56 look for

$click_for_more = '<a class="newsBoxContent" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_MORE_NEWS, $newsId) . '">' . TEXT_LINK_MORE . '</a><br />';

is what it should display:

FILENAME_MORE_NEWS is set to modules/ pages/more_news/
from the includes/extra_datafiles/more_news_filenames.php
