Social Networks Plugin - %20 instead of spaces

-- url of the page with the problem -- : hatsukoi.co.uk/all-departments/homeware/...crochet-baskets.html
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5.1

I am using the Hikashop Social Networks Plugin on product pages and have a strange problem with the Pinterest button.

When you click to share on Pinterest the description below the image includes '%20' instead of spaces throughout the text, eg:
hatsukoi.co.uk/all-departments/homeware/...crochet-baskets.html
"A%20set%20of%20three%20nesting%20baskets%20in%20seaside%20colours.%C2%A0%20The%20baskets%20have%20been%20hand-crocheted%20and%20lined%20with%20a%20contrasting%20fabric.Made%20from%20100%%20cotton%20yarn,%20with%20100%%20cotton%20lining.Ideal%20for%20your%20work%20desk%20or%20dressing%20table!"

It's a shame because otherwise the plugin works perfectly! Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening and how I might solve it.

Thanks
Leila

Hello,

Can you try to change code in your hikashopsocial.php, here :
YourWebsite/plugins/system/hikashopsocial/hikashopsocial.php

Look for this line, around line 230 and replace this :

For this :

The important part is :
- Before : "&description='.$description"
- After : "&description='.urldecode($description)"

I think that's will solve your trouble, but I'm waiting news from you.

Regards.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it didn't help. Maybe there's something else that needs to be changed...?

Just to test, I changed 'decode' to 'encode' and got '+' instead of '%20'! So I know it's the right file. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Many thanks
Leila

Hello,

I'm quite astonished by your return, what did you mean by that didn't help ?...
I make some tests see screenshot on below :



Can you make a screenshot of description WITH the modification I suggested earlier to see the results.

Awaiting news from you.

Regards,

Hi Philippe

FYI, I am away for two weeks now, but I very much appreciate your help

Hi,

You should change the line: to:
in the file plugins/system/hikashopsocial/hikashopsocial.php
I've tested it on my end and it fixes the problem.

The problem seems to have fixed itself - I don't know if this is because of a recent update or something else... Anyway, I just wanted to let you know and, as always, I am very grateful for your fantastic product and great support.
