[FIXED] Some announcement links contain double slash //

[mcraedesigns]

For some reason links back to the announcements page are having // in them (v3.8.1)

 

For Example...

 

This: http://www.happystarhosting.com/billing//announcements.php

 

Instead of This: http://www.happystarhosting.com/billing/announcements.php

 

Can anybody else confirm if they are having this issue. They still load fine, but using Xenu to check links, it counts them as broken.

 

It only seems to be coming from the announcements pages.

 

More Details:

Broken links, ordered by link:

[sparky]

In announcements.tpl find this line

<p><a href="{if $seofriendlyurls}{$systemurl}[b]/[/b]announcements/{$announcement.id}/{$announcement.urlfriendlytitle}.html{else}{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?id={$announcement.id}{/if}" class="heading2"><img src="images/article.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0" /> {$announcement.title}</a></p>

and remove the slash that is highlighted in bold

eg... {$systemurl}announcements
