0 TechAngel85 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) It would appear most links on the wiki that lead to the forum on broken. Including those on the mod pages. If there is no automatic way of fixing this I can get a start on fixing the mod pages at least.

0 EssArrBee Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think the main wiki page also has a broken link. It doesn't say 2.2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DoubleYou Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We can't fix this until someone fixes the Mod template. {{#if: {{{forumtid|}}} | [http://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=[[ForumTID::{{{forumtid}}}]] Forum]}}needs to become something like this... {{#if: {{{forumtid|}}} | [http://forum.step-project.com/topic/[[ForumTID::{{{forumtid}}}]]- Forum]}} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stoppingby4now Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Mod Form/Template needs to be updated to support IPB URL's. It may be as simple as just updating those two and the information will auto-correct in the Mod pages. I'll take a look tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 z929669 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes, updating the templates is relatively straight forward, but we will likely need to revisit each mod page and change each forum ID (we have our smilies back) Once we have and answer to the template fix, we'll let everyone know. May need some help with that! Also, the main page and many of the SMW issues I fixed by refreshing the SMW data via the SMW admin functions, so all should be good now.

I can start with the ones currently included in STEP and then work on the other 400+ later. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stoppingby4now Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have updated the Semantic Form and the Mod Template to use the new structure. The field now takes the ID portion at the end the URL path for a thread. I have updated the Snow & Rocks HD as an example. In this case, the URL to the thread is https://forum.step-project.com/topic/1358-snow-and-rocks-textures-hd-by-darevix/. On the Wiki page at https://wiki.step-project.com/Snow_%26_Rocks_HD, edit with form, and entered the ID noted in the title 1358 in the Forum Thread Title field. If there are any questions, let me know. EDIT: Updated based on CJ2311's info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CJ2311 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 You don't need to enter that whole string, "1358-" is enough (the - is mandatory for it to work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stoppingby4now Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for pointing that out. Updated my post above and the Snow & Rocks HD page on the Wiki. EDIT: Edited the Template so it adds the dash (-). Only the ID is required (number is enforced). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CJ2311 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oops, that explains why I just got a "" error when editing the ID for XCE.BTW, pack forms are still using the old template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated all the forum links on wiki pages in sections I and J. Section I still has 2 mods with bad galley urls that point to nexus pages.
