Saving a campaign and edit introduces facebook link error

Hi

A word of warning if you create a campaign, save as a draft and then edit it, and use a facebook, make sure you check the sidebar facebook link code.

The save and edit seems to introduce some unwanted characters into the link address

so

www.facebook.com/FACEBOOKPAGE/2F270404370611

turns into

http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FFACEBOOKPAGE%2F270404370611

we only noticed this after sending out a list to over 900 people, fortunately we wrote a redirect in the hta access file to redirect the dead url to the facebook page.

May need investigating and until Joomailer staff have moved into the new offices, a manual eye out on this bug, when sending newsletters.

I just had the same issue happen upon editing and then saving and sending an email. The link that is in the sent email directs to:

I can't seem to get a redirect working (wondering if using sh404sef is the reason.. This is what the page actually says:

Perhaps something needs to be looked at in terms of how it embeds the facebook page code.

sh404 shouldn't be a problem. I'll look into it. The issue will be fixed in the next version (1.7.1).

Kind regards,
Pete
