CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The CiviCRM link tracking feature doesn't seem to handle spaces in urls.  Yep, I know that's not typical, but occasionally there are urls where there's a space in the anchor tag ("www.blah.com#this is where I want to go") .

I found a similar issue where commas in urls were causing the tracking feature to not work. (http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3384).

This was fixed in this issue by adding "\," to  the list of $gunk    = '\{\}/#~:.?+=&;%@!\,\-'; in  /CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php

I tried adding a space there as well like this: $gunk    = '\{\}/#~:.?+=&;%@!\,\-\ '; and in a quick test it seemed to work fine, but I'm checking in to see if there is any reason that anyone can that this is a terrible idea.   And if not, should that be modified in core?

Thanks.
