| Summary | 0020238: Link click tracking ID regular expression incorrect | ||||
| Description | Hi! This is my first ever bug report, please bear with me. I've just sent out my first ever mail shot with the click tracking enabled. A large number of users have encountered a "not found" error when clicking through a link in the email. I have found that this is due to the way that the "tid" query string parameter is validated in lists/lt.php being incorrect. /^(H|T) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?4[a-f0-9]{3}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12}) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?4[a-f0-9]{3}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12}) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?4[a-f0-9]{3}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12})$/x In the above expression ?4[a-f0-9]{3} requires the number 4 to always be prefix three more alpha-numeric values, however links generated by PHPList when sending the campaign do not always include the 4 as a prefix. I believe it should be changed to the following which I have validated as working for all links that were being rejected: /^(H|T) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12}) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12}) \|([a-f0-9]{8}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[a-f0-9]{4}-?[89ab][a-f0-9]{3}-?[a-f0-9]{12})$/x I hope this small contribution goes a little way to helping PHPList be even more awesome! | ||||

The digit 4 is pretty much a constant when a UUID is created. If you are seeing a different value that suggests a problem elsewhere. Please show an example of a parameter that doesn't have a 4 in that position. If you look at the user, message and linktrack_forward tables in the database, each has a uuid column. You should be able to find any that do not have a 4 in that position. |

Hello Duncan, here are some examples of the $track variable which failed the regular expression test before I made changes: H|18c1939e-5ad1-42ce-92ea-01517394b8ad|8518b545-7f77-4705-aaa7-ce5aa751d0d4|73bdd2d6-b468-11ea-bb65-c49ab4b87e4d H|e0a4927f-6d16-4930-a27a-33a12543d455|8518b545-7f77-4705-aaa7-ce5aa751d0d4|4ded07e3-aafb-11ea-ade1-0c39fb3d4290 H|e0a4927f-6d16-4930-a27a-33a12543d455|8518b545-7f77-4705-aaa7-ce5aa751d0d4|b305f047-c6c3-11ea-bb65-c49ab4b87e4d H|18c1939e-5ad1-42ce-92ea-01517394b8ad|8518b545-7f77-4705-aaa7-ce5aa751d0d4|f56a0ee6-ae7a-11ea-ade1-0c39fb3d4290 |

It is the subscriber fields that have the wrong value. How did you add the subscribers? Imported a file, added manually through phplist admin page? |

Caught me red handed! I have recently migrated to PHPList and in doing so created a custom import process that inserted directly into the database using the mysql UUID() function to generate PHPList user UID values. I may have wasted your time, and if so I apologise, unless you think it might be a good idea to change the validation is lt.php slightly to cater for this scenario in future? Does PHPList have an API? Thanks Duncan! |

There are various APIs: https://github.com/phpList/phplist-plugin-restapi https://github.com/phpList/rest-api and the hosted service has a SOAP API, which can be used with this client: https://github.com/phpList/phplist-hosted-soap-client |
