Hi Sergey,

There is a typo in constructing the urls causing the filter to malfunction:

index.php?option=com_cobalt&task=records.filter&filter_name[0]=filter_7&filter_val[0]=music%2Bpublisher§ion_id=1&cat_id=3&Itemid=107

Should be

index.php?option=com_cobalt&task=records.filter&filter_name[0]=filter_7&filter_val[0]=music%2Bpublisher§ion_id=1&cat_id=3&Itemid=107

index.php?option=com_cobalt&task=records.filter&filter_name[0]=filter_7&filter_val[0]=music%20publisher§ion_id=1&cat_id=3&Itemid=107

@edit

This occurs when clicking on a filtered link in the record view

Best regards,

Jeff

We use url_encode() PHP method to encode. I do not know how it could possible happen. :)

Interesting....

for your information:

%2B = +

%20 = [SPACE]

so filtering url

%2B = +

%20 = [SPACE]

'music+publisher' = no results

'music publisher' = correct results

After updating to v8.87 the problem still exists :S

No in the url itself.

Yes it is the same issue but there is no solution offered there. That link generated by Cobalt or you create prefiltered link?

Hi

The link is generated by Cobalt. I have two List Autocomplete fields containing lists with about a hundred values. Some values are one word others are made out of two. The %2B thing bothers me greatly since it occurred after the last update.

Is there a reason why you use url_encode() instead of raw_encode?

Best regards,

Jeff

Hey Sergey guess what,

v. 8.71 AND turning SEF ON = correct filter links >> spaces are translated into '+'

v. 8.71 AND turning SEF OFF = wrong filter links >> spaces are translated into '%2B'

Now that is interesting hey?

Best regards,

Jeff

Then I start to understand. There is only one place where it can happen. I think Jroute works differently.

And by the way I cannot reproduce this error.

Did you enable UTF in url? Do you use overrides or not?

Do you use overrides or not? = Do you use rewrite or not?

Do you mean the browser settings? I use Autodetect ON and UTF enabled. ISO settings produces the same outcome.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean rewrite in htaccess? Do you mean template overrides?

Ah ok...

These are my settings (with proper translations of space into '+')
