[unconfirmed] Links in email templates not rendering correctly

[itsmir]

WHMCS v5.3.10

PHP 5.4

 

Links created from merge fields are no longer rendering correctly.

 

For example I have this text in an email template:

 

http://www.{$service_domain}

 

It appears as the correct link in the email but when clicking on it, it goes to: http://www.%7B%24service_domain%7D/

 

This behaviour only started after upgrade to 5.3.10 & PHP 5.4

 

Please can you advise.

 

Many Thanks

Hello,

 

When dealing with data that has been html entity encoded, you need to decode it in your smarty template:

 

{$service_domain|unescape:"html"}

 

I will double check with our development team tomorrow if this specific change was intentional or a regression, in the mean time you can work around this in your email template.

 

Have a great day,
