I have a simple Joomla controller, but I can't redirect anything. According to the documentation: class MyController extends MyBaseController { function import() { $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_foo&ctrl=bar'); $this->setRedirect($link); } } //The url contains & html escaped character instead of "&" This should work, but I get a malformed URL.
