WHMCS 7.8.3 with GoCardless

[Ezyhosting]

Hi all,

I'm still running an owned version of WHMCS 7.8.3
It was working perfectly untill I decided to do a fresh install.

I,m using gocardless as the payment method.
I can retrieve mandates from the payments gateway so its communicating with GoCardless.
When Setting up a mandate, it gives the error below

---------------------------------------------
Oops!
Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request.

Please go back to the previous page and try again.

Error: Invalid filename for redirect: https://pay.gocardless.com/billing/static/flow?id=BRF01KD19RJK4NAJ48TYHZ720ZRVTC96
----------------------------------------------
However, if I enter that url directly into the browser, it works perfectly.

I suspect I'm missing some patch that may have been made available previously.
Does anyone know of what the patch was, and if so where I can get a copy of it from?

Thanks.

Hi @Ezyhosting,

A few years ago GoCardless changed the formatting of their redirect URLs. 

Accordingly V8.5.2 and above are updated to accommodate this new format:

MODULE-7849 — Prevent erroneous failure on receipt of new url schema for GoCardless manadates

https://docs.whmcs.com/releases/8-5/8-5-change-log/#852-security

I'm using version 7.8.3. Would module 7849 be compatible. If not is there an alternative or an easy fix ?

Hi @Ezyhosting,

You'll need to upgrade to V8.5.2 and above to receive this maintenence update to the GoCardless functionality.
