3.71 lost order form urls (and mod_rewrite)

[Si]

Hi,

With the upgrade to 3.71, some of the old product order form urls no longer work with the new system.

 

ie, this was an old product url:

http://mydomain.com/whmcs/order.php?step=2&pid=139

 

but now it no longer works and it defaults to the general cart.php page.

 

http://mydomain.com/whmcs/cart.php

 

Looking at the product now in Product setup, the direct product url now is:

 

http://mydomain.com/whmcs/cart.php?a=add&pid=139

 

So, simple, (or so I thought). Just create a simple mod_rewrite redirect

in my roots .htaccess to take anyone going to the old url and take them to the new one. Nope. Doesn't work. (Yet mod_rewrite/redirect is working on other pages on my site and server). It still defaults to the cart.php page.

 

Anyone know of a way around this?

 

Thanks

Incidentally, this is the redirect command I'm currently using:

 

redirect /whmcs/order.php?step=2&pid=139 http://mydomain.com/whmcs/cart.php?a=add&pid=139

I see what you mean, I couldn't get the rewrite or redirect to work either.

 

Try this though

1. Rename your order.php to order.php.backup

2. Create a new txt file and name it order.php

3. Insert the below code in the new file

<?php

header("Location: cart.php?a=add&pid={$_GET['pid']}");

?>

Excellent job. Thank you. This also needs to be an integral part of the new version. (IMHO)
