Hello there ss2020   I am a bit confused. There is no limitations enforced on the Rooms tab anywhere can you show me a screenshot of what you are seeing?

I will keep trying, currently, I only get 404 errors. I can't even open it using the green article button. Since my Dashboard is not working I can't use that to try and open it. BTW, how can I send an image?

Dimitris @ 07 Jun, 2024 06:52:37 Developer

I mean send an image of the article edit screen missing the "Rooms" tab. If you want to reorganise your articles go to "Articles and Categories" and under Lists use "uncategorized" to put them in categories.

  • My question on the first part is where do I attach the image to get it to you?
  • In the 2nd part, that is exactly what I am doing. I will let you know if I still need help on that. I have a ton of articles to move.

    Let's see if this works.

    ss2020 @ 07 Jun, 2024 04:17:14

    Cool beans, Also note that it does not have the correct list choices in the drop-down in the upper right corner, nor does it come up with the CSS. But the vignette comes up fine.

    Are. you sure you are using the correct base template for your custom template?

    It works when I bring it up from the Dashboard, but not with an external link or using the green +Article button. So I do not think it could be a template issue.

    Dimitris @ 09 Jun, 2024 02:54:52 Developer

    Can you tell me what kind of a template is? Which is the base template it is extending?

    ss2020 @ 09 Jun, 2024 03:04:20

    The base is a landmark/Buidling template.

    Hi ss2020, we made a fix that should resolve the error message from the green button link to your custom Template. Could you test this on your side as well and confirm that it works?

    Great job. It is working now. Thanks.

    ss2020 @ 20 Jun, 2024 05:37:31

    Wait, it works when I use the Green article button but I have a link to bring up the template on a WA page links page and the problem still exists when I use this method to bring up the Article Template.

    katerinach @ 21 Jun, 2024 08:16:12 Assignee

    Can you specify in which page/section this happens? Or share a screenshot of where this link is

    ss2020 @ 21 Jun, 2024 03:35:48

    Here is the link I am using: ‌ InnsHere is the page: [/b ]https://www.worldanvil.com/w/aviron-ss2020/a/my-home-article?preview=true

  • The link is in the side bar
  • katerinach @ 21 Jun, 2024 04:16:38 Assignee

    Seems like your link ends with "&amptype=landmark" instead of "&type=landmark" so the redirect fails - but generally I would suggest you don't link create links of your templates, they're not viewable and aren't meant to be shared outside of your accounts so other users using them might cause errors.

    ss2020 @ 21 Jun, 2024 04:45:09

    Thanks, I will check that. I don't share them outside of my account, it saves me time with getting to links that are buried in menus. I use the links more to get stat blocks started, but I put 2 article templates there because I am currently creating a lot of NPCs and Inns.

    ss2020 @ 21 Jun, 2024 04:49:06

    -" Inns‌" In my link, I don't see an "&amptype=landmark" at all here

    ss2020 @ 21 Jun, 2024 05:08:37

    Wow, that is weird, when it put it in a link format it added that. When I pasted it here it did not have it.

  • Here is the raw link.

    katerinach @ 24 Jun, 2024 08:21:11 Assignee

    It might be the browser altering the link, but I would try this one "worldanvil.com/world/location/new?custom_template=2b5c282e-efc5-4398-a76c-83a495765220&type=landmark" so without "|tab]Inns" in it.   For now I'm closing this bug report since the main bug has been fixed but feel free to comment here if something related comes up, it's still being tracked
