Event Attributes: options with links to pages not working anymore

  • Hello,

    I have added a couple of Event Attributes including #_ATT{Teacher} so that I can list who is teaching a particular event. I want these names to link to the individual teacher’s page on my website.

    I thought I had solved this by adding the following (just used a selection to avoid the long list I do actually want!)

    #_ATT{Teacher}{Guest|Agnieszka Grenckowska|Itta Howie}

    At first this worked, but now, everytime I try and create a new event and select a teacher’s name, even though I can select it on the pull down menu of the event creation page, after I have saved the event it defaults to the first name on the list e.g. Guest.

    Anyone have any ideas why and how I can stop this from happening?

    Many thanks,
    Saskia

    ps. I inputted the code I used to show what I’d put in the Event Atribute box but these have been converted into actual links in the above post!

    probably some bad html on your part like a bad closing tag, i don’t think the atts would prevent that from working.

    I have tried all sorts of ways, removing sections to see if there is any bad code, changing some of the code etc, with no luck.

    Would you have any suggestions of a better way to list the code other than e.g.
    <a href="https://contactdance.co.uk/teachers/nina-wara/">Nina Wara</a>
    with the symbol, | ,in between each teachers name and related code?

    I since tried removing all links with this, simply listing the names of the teachers with the | symbol inbetween each name and notices that the same thing happened (it wouldn’t save the name selected and would default always to the first name on the list). Does this suggest that there is a bug with Event Attributes?

    works for me, i tried with your exact string above (no links). anyone else?

    What I found is that the first few times it works, then it stops working….

    there must be a reason for why it stops…something you’re doing differently?
