Hi,

when I send Links to Facebook, they get broken and TWG shows:

The request has invalid input. If you where trying to hack TWG - try again ;).

The reason for that is Facebook add a unknown parameter as tracking id in the URL:

...&fbclid=xxxxxxxxxxx

Is it possible to ignore this parameter (or do something special with it), so that TWG is working again?

I identified one File and perhaps I can provide a patch later.

Best regards, Michael

Of course, here is the URL that I copy&paste to Facebook:

https://flusi.amoksworld.de/gallery/index.php?twg_album=HomeCockpit

and when you hit the Link it is something like that:

https://flusi.amoksworld.de/gallery/index.php?twg_album=HomeCockpit&fbclid=IwAR2GzRkiiYl6S56LZ2_lmRzvhbeUTfqloRju0Is_RyyrT9EytwEMA3H2atY

Perhaps this tracking parameter can be usefull in some way for TWG, too?

this is because of the length restriction on unknown parameters. is is set to 15.

 

To change this:

search for

parse_maxlength(replaceInput($val), 15)

in inc/mysession.inc.php and set it to e.g. 100. Then your facebook url link works as well.

I will put this to a variable in the next build 2.5.

Best regards, Michael
