I'm trying to set the PrimaryURL for UU to be http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name= ... ateprofile.

This works fine if I set it manually in UU but if I try and get the setting from UA it becomes http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name

I checked the debug log for UU and it is definately getting the full URL from UA (PRIMARYURL=http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Roster&op=updateprofile|ADDONAUTOUPDATE=1| etc) Is there someway I can modify the string so that UU doesn't drop the =?

Worst comes to worse I'll push out a new bundled UU version with that setting hardcoded and disable PrimaryURL in UA, but I'd like to avoid that if I can

Well, look at the response

Code: Select all

PRIMARYURL=http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Roster&op=updateprofile|ADDONAUTOUPDATE=1|

Now, this is how settings are passed to UU

Code: Select all

ADDONAUTOUPDATE=1

Notice SETTING=VALUE

Code: Select all

PRIMARYURL=http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Roster&op=updateprofile

Looks like UU is dropping anything after =

UU would have to be fixed so this can work properly

By the way, what have you tried? I've tried using the escape hex value they use for URLs and stuff. (I am by no means a web person, I write OS stuff and have pretty much avoided the web) anyway, that didn't work either it just sent the escaped values again which were not interpreted as escapes.

So, at least it's consistant. Do you use FF or IE?

Thanks zanix, I understand now why it's cutting off the = etc now even if it doesn't help me a lot

denebeim I've tried using %3d instead of = in the URL, the 2nd one is passed though ok but nuke can't handle the first one. I also tried various quotes, escape characters etc but they all get ignored, presumably due to the fundamental 'setting = value' processing of that string.

I also tried a quick php redirect, that didn't work either so im guessing I'd have to read in the uplodaded data and pass that onto the target page (way too hard for my simple php ability).

For the moment I'll workaround it by sending out a new UU version with that setting already filled in. I think the only other options are either sucking up to Matt Miller and getting him to support that in a new release or modifing the target page so it works both by module reference and absolute URL.

I am having this same problem when trying to use the Shopping addon ... the addon name gets dropped off URL so UU has no idea what page to talk to.

I have actually had to disable the mod because the majority of my guildies just don't get it when I try to walk them thru specific configurations.

A fix to this will be essential to addons that need to sync ... I would hope it gets a high priority.
