Usercheck - special char in variable value breaks href
Hello everyone,
Customizing Anti-bot Blocked Usercheck. HTML coding below. I am triggering the anti-bot check by going to the Checkpoint testing URL. I get the Usercheck page but having some issues. I created a hyperlink that will build an email response (href="mailto:). My href seems to break when I add the $orig_url$ or $activity$ variable. On my blocked page I either get a broken link display text from the line, or the body stop dispalying the rest of the variable value, from what I guess, is a special character. The href below is the ultimate goal but variables orig_url and activity are giving me grief. They however display fine on the blocked page. Has anybody come across this issue?

My guess is that this is a bug that needs to be brought through the TAC for further investigation.

I had the same problem, the issue happens when you copy and past the suggestion from CP into the usercheck text mode field: It converts the & (ampersand symbol) into &
You just need to replace these five letters back to the ampersand

Hi there,
Thought I had updated this but apparently not.
Did open a call with TAC and R&D confirmed a bug and provided a hotfix as well as SK124073. Confirmed that it works in our environment.
