FPSS 3.2.0 - slide with no link goes to Page Not Found

If no url is entered in a slide's URL inputbox, the slide links to "URL" (which of course results in Page Not Found).

While this may not seem to be much of a problem, we have many web clients who forget to specify a link when they add a new slide. One option would be to disable all links in the module... but that isn't a good solution.

In older FPSS versions, an unlinked slide would produce javascript:void(0) and do nothing (which was good). If that behavior would be too hard to bring back now, maybe an unlinked slide could redirect to "index.php"? It seems that this behavior could be added with one line of code -- something like
if ($link == "URL") {$link = "index.php"}
? (I haven't looked at the code so I'm sure the variable is wrong... but if it will be a while before this behavior can be implemented in a release, could you post the code here that might fix this (and the file and line in which to add it)?

Other than this issue, I think FPSS 3.2.0 is working great so far. Thanks!

I have a need to include a slide w/ no link.  Other slides in the same slideshow do include links. Is it possible to have a slide w/out a link?  If so how do I accomplish this.

You just don't add a link in the slide options...

I am having the same problem. I created a slide. It does not contain any links. When you view the slideshow, you can click on the slide and it goes to: "The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." I don't want it to link to anything. Please help.

Hi Katia - thanks for the reply.
I did try it w/out including a link as well as removing the "slidelink" row altogether from the slide element array in the data file, however, neither worked appropriately.  A cursor indicating it is linked still appears and when clicked opens a blank page or a page not found error.  I'm sure there must be situations where one would want a slide w/out having to link it somewhere.

Hi, Katia -

The problem seems to be that the letters "URL" are used for the link address if no link is entered. The slide entry / editing pane should have a setting such as "Do not link this slide" -- or your programmer should modify the code so if no slide link is entered, the slide will not be linked at all. I could PM you backend access if you insist, but at this stage I believe you have enough proof from others that this is an issue, yes?

Thank you,
Vicki

Hi, Katia -

I sent you backend access a few weeks ago for this issue (plus one other issue). I will set you up as a Superadmin user once again the next time I have a development site that you'll be allowed to look at. This bug does exist -- as you should be able to verify quite easily yourself. Many others have posted about the same issue.

Kind regards,
Vicki
