Classroom Bookings - The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

[Techie-v2]

Hi All,

 

I'm in the process of putting the net timetable into Classroom Bookings and have come across an error where whenever I used the drop down to change either the room in "room at a time" view or the date in "day at a time view" I get an error saying the URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

 

I'm guessing it's the = as when I add it to the permitted uri characters section in the config.php file, I then get a 404 page cannot be found error (from the booking system, not the webserver)

 

Any ideas as to why these might be happening?

 

Thanks

Hi Techie-v2! The `=` character in the URL shouldn't be a problem, as it's part of the standard for URLs when using query strings (the bit after the `?`).

 

If possible, can you share the URL that is showing in the address bar once you get the URI disallowed error? You can leave out your IP / hostname / domain - just the bit from the classroombokings folder or `index.php`.

 

 

Thanks!

Hi Webman,

 

Thanks for replying, unfortunately I've already reverted to a previous version so I can have something up and running for tomorrow.

I didn't notice anything wrong with the url, the only thing I did notice is that between room view and day view, one way has the date in the url with a "/" and the other way uses "-", don't know if that has anything to do with it at all. Its probably an IIS related issue again!!!!!

Hi, thanks for the update

 

The date value in the URL should be in "YYYY-MM-DD" format, or if it is using DD/MM/YYYY, then the forward slashes (/) should be encoded as '%2F' (e.g. today would be 31%2F08%2F2022).

 

So yes, this could be another IIS quirk!
