Calendar Events Links re-directing to homepage due to incomplete urls

[cityofcharleston]

Bug Report: Calendar Events Links re-directing to homepage due to incomplete urls in ECP 2.0.1.

Reproduce: I click on a specific date on the calendar widget, and a list of events pops up via script or css. Some of the links redirect to the event as they should, others redirect to the homepage. An examination of the code reveals that some links in the same list are correctly populated, others are not. Please see screenshot below:

Form does not support screenshots – essentially – the tags which are correctly populated list the full url, however the others are simply ‘ ‘ Event Name ”

I notice the above might not be all too clear. The text box did not support screenshots – so I have pasted some html below:

The Town of Kiawah Island Arts Council presents the Taylor Festival Choir and Na Fidleiri in Celtic Christmas

Redux Contemporary Art Center presents Sunday Figure Drawing (Drop-in)

You will notice that the first link (event item in calendar) has a full url and functions properly. The next, however, contains only the eventDate parameter.

I hope this makes things more understandable. Thanks for your help.

Hey Louis. Thanks for the detailed report; these are awesome and what we hope most users will submit. The links you included in your follow-up post were solid — but the second one seemed to just take me back to this thread. ANy ideas what’s up with that?

My guess is that the cause of your issue here is a permalinks related one. What happens if you just go to the permalinks page and save (without making any changes), then try to view on the frontend again? Sometimes that’s a simple solution to issues like this. Let me know if not and we can keep looking into it.

Hey Rob. Thanks for the reply. I am not a regular forum contributor, so I am having difficulty finding the correct escape characters to paste the HTML as text rather than inline code.

If you picture an anchor tag, with the href directing to a full and proper url – that is what is occuring with the correctly functioning links. The malfunctioning links, on the other hand, have only ?eventDate=XXXXXX in the href element of their anchor tags. Does that make sense?

I will try your suggestion about the permalinks and post a comment shortly with my results.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Hey Louis. No problem; I got your emails on this and will be responding to those this evening.
