It works fine, which makes sense. But I just wanted to confirm if this is how I should construct my links now, and the old way I was doing it is obsolete?
@HongDa can you look into this? We should make sure this works properly in all browsers.
No, there should be no need. The idea is that you only need the text and segment number, all else should inherit your browser settings (unless you want to specify the settings in the URL, which is why it has those attributes.)
Oh well, I can take solace in the fact that on my Ubuntu I can no longer even open Firefox, after testing just now it refuses to do anything. How is it that on a Linux machine FF doesn’t even open? Thanks Canonical you’ve made FF unusable in a snap!
I’m uncertain where to put this, but it’s partly related to this issue. I thought there had been other mention elsewhere, if not an open ticket, about link bugs but I can’t find it, so I’m wondering if I’m fabricating memories!
links when references aren’t displayed https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-kd15/en/brahmali#8.1.1 doesn’t work if I have a view that doesn’t show SC references. However https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-kd15/en/brahmali#pli-tv-kd15:8.1.1 does work fine whether or not references are displayed.
An extra weirdness is that even when I have reference=none, main references are still showing up on initial load - I’m wondering if perhaps this was the fix originally? But once references are hidden, the segment link again doesn’t work.
links to headers
Similar issue, except the segment reference is never displayed for headers, e.g. https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-kd15/en/brahmali#8.1.0
But again, https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-kd15/en/brahmali#pli-tv-kd15:8.1.0 works fine.
links to “default” translation
For example, links in sutta comments to vinaya (and vice versa) like at MN105:4.5. The generated link is https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4/en/sujato#2.1
which doesn’t exist. No problem, suttacentral knows to automatically turn it into https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4/en/brahmali
but it’s lost the segment reference.
I noticed that sometimes the full link is specified, e.g. in dn27:14.1, there is [Bu Pj 1:2.2.5](https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1/en/brahmali#2.2.5)
however, when I click on it, instead of right click + opening it in a new tab, the segment reference (#2.2.5) gets dropped. Opening in a new tab works fine (although, it has problem #1 above).
Both Brave (Version 1.65.132 Chromium: 124.0.6367.202 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and Firefox (123.0 (64-bit)) on lubuntu 22.04.
Thanks for the screenshots, Sam! I didn’t have the patience to deal with my computer to include any.
However that illustrates exactly what I meant by the part about “extra weirdness” under point 1. Both the screenshots show the page still displaying the main references.
