The email links throughout the site stick a fullstop (period) after the address which follows through to the generated email message. If users don't pick it up the email won't send.

Idea's? I searched and couldn't find anything on here about this?

there is info about it somewhere.. i did a quick search but couldn't find anything relevant, but i only used your topic title to search with.. different keywords may throw up more.

on a side note. please tell us what XOOPS version you are using, otherwise the help you require will not be so forthcoming.

this issue was documented on older XOOPS versions mainly in the 2.2.x branch, you shouldn't have this problem in the latest releases. if that's the case, then the solution is to upgrade.

REGARDING SEARCHES --> Google SITE Search results here << SEE THIS LINK
in the google criteria bar I typed
email period error site:https://xoops.org/


That will search only this site for the words email period and error. (what we are looking for)

Love the module!!! I'm hoping that people actually use it. My site is new (this one anyway) and that will be one of things that will become a regular favorite, I'm sure.

One bug that I found:

[b]When a user types a URL or e-mail address in any of the text fields, a period is always added immediately after.
This is not a huge problem, but if a job seeker clicks an e-mail link, their e-mail client carries that period with it and places it in the "To" address. That means that the message will bounce back or not be delivered at all. I would probably notice the period and delete it, as would you, but many users will assume that there is something broken at the site or that the address is wrong.

There must be a period inserted in some line of code that should be removed, but I don't know enough PHP or CSS to know where to look. I tried, but didn't want to break anything by mistake. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Adjust your criteria according to narrowing the results with unique keywords. I find google a very useful tool when used for single site searchs.

Good Luck
