SuttaCentral: bug reports

Funny capitalization problem with sub headings:

Roman numerals should always be either all caps or all lower, never mixed.

@HongDa does this sound like a recently introduced bug?

HongDa · October 10, 2024, 7:51am

@Snowbird Bhante, let me check it.

Manfred · November 19, 2024, 11:10am

In Mahāmoggallānattheragāthā Thag 20.1 the last verse count is 1208 while the next
Theragāthā Vaṅgīsattheragāthā Thag 21.1 starts with 1219. Only one can be right.
Kind regards,
Manfred

I can confirm this is the case. Looks like a typo in the numbering. Bhante @sujato ?

Beginning a few days ago:

When I try to insert a hyperlink in a post, after clicking save/insert I get the error screen.

It would still insert the link but I had to go back to my drafts folder to resume drafting the post.

Today, it doesn’t insert the link at all.

Using chrome on a mac.

@musiko, do you know what might be happening?

Assuming this is about inserting a link by clicking on the link icon in the editor, I can’t recreate in Windows Firefox.

BTW, @BethL, you can also insert a link by selecting the text and then pasting the link “over top of” it. And of course you can always type it out.

BethL · December 9, 2024, 6:10pm

Wow I didn’t know about the shortcut which works! Yes, it’s the link icon I’m using that gets me to the error screen.

Snowbird · December 9, 2024, 6:19pm

There is actually a keyboard shortcut, ctrl + k to insert a linK. This is a semi-universal shortcut.

musiko · December 10, 2024, 8:22am

I can’t reproduce this error.

Are you simply pasting the URL or are you using the link tool from the composer?
Are there any errors in the developer console?
Do you have any browser extensions that could interfere?
Have you tried resetting browser cache?

BethL · December 10, 2024, 2:19pm

Sure enough, I refreshed chrome for an update and it’s fixed. Wow chrome is sensitive!

Thank you and apologies for getting people spinning to fix.

BethL · January 25, 2025, 1:47pm

Please see this thread. I don’t know why but it does it in my Word docs too.

Don’t know if this is just a coincidence or a bug, but I feel like the third section of things sometimes gets 3. included in the Suttaplex card and the sutta. Also one 4. included here.

Snowbird · February 18, 2025, 10:18pm

This is a problem with the underlying data, not a bug in the code. For example you can see that the number is hard coded into the text:

github.com/suttacentral/bilara-data

translation/en/sujato/sutta/an/an1/an1.21-30_translation-en-sujato.json

It’s just a coincidence that you have found problems with numbers 3 and 4.

In the AN, it is a problem for Bhante @sujato to fix and in the Mil I believe it is @johnk that would need to make the change.

My recollection is that all the sections had numbers in the translation but then at a later point they were all (supposed to have been!) taken out.

johnk · February 18, 2025, 11:01pm

Ah, right. Good catch! I’ve just removed the “3.” from the translation for Mil 3.7.3, and just waiting for the revised text to be uploaded to SC.

Are there any other stray numbers in Mil that I should be aware of?

Beaver · February 18, 2025, 11:31pm

Mil 3.1.3, Mil 3.7.3, and Mil 4.3.

johnk · February 19, 2025, 2:00am

Thanks. Now corrected.
Weird coincidence that they all happened to be #3!

I somehow managed to break the Pāli word lookup functionality when i tried switching between scripts (Latin and Siddhaṁ, and then tested with Thai and Sinhala to see if it wasn’t script specific)

Browser: Firefox 134.0.2.
OS: Linux.

Edit to clarify: by it being broken i mean it’s as if it’s not turned on at all.

Snowbird · March 1, 2025, 10:25pm

Can you give us a screenshot of the views menu like this:

It appears that the lookup only works when set to “Latin” and not to the other Roman schemes.

Also, could do a ctrl + shift + r and see if it is still broken?

For me, I can switch to Siddham and back to Latin and it works.

DefNotARobot · March 1, 2025, 10:26pm

Thank you so much, this worked! I had it set to the ISO romanisation specifically instead of the generic Latin.

Snowbird · March 1, 2025, 10:59pm

Glad you got it resolved. I think I had a similar problem a while back.
