Due to the volume of events we have throughout the year and the load times associated with trying to load them all at once, we’ve had to develop our own event filtering system by state.

https://events.worldgolfskills.com/world-golf-scramble/

The system has worked fine in the past, but the most recent update seems to have caused some serious issues with the links. For example, click on the link above and then select FL.

It will direct you to the following link where our upcoming event in FL does not appear.

https://events.worldgolfskills.com/events/?action=tribe_geosearch&tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=map&tribe_eventcategory%5B%5D=6&tribe_tags%5B%5D=11&tribe_state%5B%5D=344%2C344

If you go into the vertical filters tab (which also is not working properly after the most recent update), you’ll see that FL is no longer automatically selected like it used to be. If you select FL, you’ll see that the following link will show up and our event will then appear.

https://events.worldgolfskills.com/events/?action=tribe_geosearch&tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=map&tribe_eventcategory%5B%5D=6&tribe_tags%5B%5D=11&tribe_state%5B%5D=600%2C600

Can someone please tell me why this all of a sudden started happening after the most recent update? Please don’t tell me I need to go through my custom filtering system again and redo all of the links.

Hey @worldgoldskills,

Thanks for reaching out.

Part of writing custom code is maintaining it over time as the general code bases on which it builds change. This is one of the reasons we ourselves do not offer support for writing, debugging, or maintaining custom code for folks (read more here).

With this in mind, I’m sorry to bear this news, but yes, you yourself would unfortunately debug and maintain your own custom code now and for however long into the future you continue to use it.

---

Now, with that being said, if you can post your custom code into a Gist at http://gist.github.com, then share a link to that Gist here, I will attempt to look through it and identify anything that is outright problematic.

If your custom code is one file, post the whole, un-edited file into a Gist. If it’s multiple files, make multiple Gists. And so on…I will do my best to try and spot a problem here! 😀

Thanks,
George

Hi George.

I guess I don’t fully understand as I’m not an expert in code. My primary question with the most recent update was if it changed some of the map coding that I have directed to in the custom filter I was advised to setup? It worked perfectly the first year we used it and had worked great up until the most recent update, so I’m just wondering if the update probably caused the changes? Once that is confirmed, I’m thinking I’ll either a) need to revert back to the version prior to the update or b) go through and adjust my custom code. I just want to make sure that this is the problem before I spend the time making the changes to adjust to the new urls.

Thanks!

Thanks for your followup, @worldgoldskills.

This seems to be the core of your question:

It worked perfectly the first year we used it and had worked great up until the most recent update, so I’m just wondering if the update probably caused the changes?

The update probably did the cause the change. If you’ve used it for a year already, then when the code was first written, the class names, function names, and other technical details were probably significantly different than they are now. Significant enough, anyways, to cause breakages here now with the new versions of our software.

As noted, you can post the complete files of any related custom coding to Gists at http://gist.github.com, and I’ll happily take a look — it’s true that the amount of time I can spend on investigating there is very limited, but I might be able to spot something obvious that helps get the ball rolling on necessary changes.

Please let me know what you think of all this and if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
