SCCP Version 3.9 build 4296

Is it not possible to have multiple links in a single item description? I can add multiple links while editing, but when uploading the shop all links revert to the first link added. If I close the shop and reopen in, the links then all show the same link in SCCP.

Thanks

I just tested and I was able to have two separate links in the long description area.:)

Humm, I wonder what I am doing wrong. I've tried it several time and I always only get one link.

My links are always been one after another, I see you have plain text between yours, maybe that's the difference. I'll try it.

Just tested and that is what the issue is.

If you just do this;

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

They are all set to the same link after upload. But if I do this;

Link 1
some text
Link 2
some text
Link 3

I get 3 different links

Your correct. Open a support topic and let the CC gurus know there's a bug. Refer to this thread when you do.:) Until then I would place a short description for each link so they will be correctly linked.

I have tried to replicate this on the category and product page, but it always works here for me. Here are 2 examples:

http://one.coffeecup.com/shop/viewitem.php?productid=1

After you add a link, try hitting the enter key and see if that helps.

Well it appears all that is needed is a space after the link,

i.e
Link 1<space><enter>
Link 2

Works, but no space
link 1<enter>
link 2

Causes link2 to be part of link 1

So maybe it's just a matter of typing habits :)

I tired putting spaces. My page has those two links separated by a lot of spaces and hard turns.:)
