"Read More" URL has extra "/" in the URL

[Rostam]

I am displaying the recent posts on the home page. At the bottom of some of the blocks you see "Read More" which is pointing to the actual post in the forum. The URL has an extra slash "/" before the post name which makes the URL invalid. I.E http://www.mydomain.com/forum//topic.html I looked in the code. This is coming from the following code in the TPmodules.php
$row['body'] .= '...... <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '".0>' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . '</a>';

So it looks like "ID_TOPIC" has an extra / at the beginning?   How can I fix this?


PS. I have also SEO4SMF installed and turned on pretty URL. Could that have anything to do with this?

Thanks for the quick reply. Here is the needed information:

Link to my site: http://www.brostalk.com
SMF version: SMF ver. 1.1.7
TP version: TP ver. 1.0.6
Theme name and version: Megapolis
Mods installed: SEO4SMF, Time-Logged-in, Super Admin
Related Error messages: No Error message. But the "Read More" link at the bottom of recent posts doesnt work, because it has an extra slash "/".

What happends if you turn off the SEO and Search friendly url ?

I just tried it out and this is what happen:

With SEO & Friendly URL: http://www.brostalk.com/forum//fast_sex-t68.0.html;  (Doesnt work)
Without SEO: http://www.brostalk.com/forum/index.php/topic,68.html  (Works)
Without Friendly URL: http://www.brostalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=68 (Works)

So when both are turned on (default) it doesnt work. I would like to keep them both so SE come by often to index my site.
Any idea how I can fix this?

Hi Bloc and IchBin,
Have you had a chance to take a look into this issue? Thanks in advance.

It is a friendly URL issue. I'm not sure what is causing it. I thought I remembered someone having this problem before, but I can't find the post here.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Since this is coming from below line of code:
$row['body'] .= '...... <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '".0>' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . '[/url]';

Is there a way to change ID_TOPIC? IE. remove the extra "/" Sorry I am not a php expert. Your help is appreciated.
