@mdsimpson42 can you correct this on Tuesday am confirm when completed here thanks

@mdsimpson42 Have you had time to investigate what went wrong here?

[mdsimpson42]

The short answer is no. I missed the notification for this.

I can't replicate it. It appears to be working on the latest version of Colouring Britain both on production and in my local version.

If this is still happening, I will need more information. If its been resolved, then close the issue.

weird

I disabled adblock. I will try to disable all extensions and try with a Chrome. (I am using Firefox)

[mdsimpson42]

Confirmed. All the links in the tooltips in that section don't seem to work in Firefox, even with AdBlock disabled. I'll look into it.

Edit: It seems to work in Chrome and Edge. Someone should check Safari...

[mdsimpson42]

Just checked and it works on localhost, but not on colouringbritain.org...

@mdsimpson42 Is it possible that it is something about a bit different version being deployed?

Can you test https://github.com/matkoniecz/colouring-core/tree/local_historians (https://github.com/matkoniecz/colouring-core repo, local_historians branch) locally?

OK, so, I downloaded it and did some tests. I can confirm, I'm getting the bug in that version of the code.

• I thought it might be that the link was too long, so I tried a shorter URL, but it still happens.
• I thought it might be specific to the SliderDataEntry object, but I put a link in the tooltip of the 'How well do you know this building and its streetscape?' field, and that doesn't work either.
• I thought it might be category-specific, but it appears on other fields as well, such as UPRNs in the location category.

I tried running Firefox in Troubleshoot mode, with all mods disabled, but that didn't fix it. I've also been Googling, but I can't seem to find a solution.

TLDR: None of the links in any of the tooltips are showing up correctly in Firefox, its not just limited to the paper links in the community section.

has it worked in past for Firefox? if for some old code version it worked also in Firefox then bisecting may reveal when problem was introduced...
