HTML in outbid notice (in Changelog)


Maelstrom May 1 2006 11:44 AM EDT

Is this the first change of the month, or did I just notice it now? I just received this:

From: auctioneer Sent: 11:26 AM EDT Delivered: 11:40 AM EDT
You have been outbid in an auction for A Morgul-Hammer [84x1] (+0) -- http://cb2.carnageblender.com/gc/view-one.tcl?classified_ad_id=55906

I think that should be a relative URL though, and not specifically "cb2.carnageblender.com" - it asked me to log in when I clicked on the link.

that one came through the other day...doesn't count (cause I said so)

You can always just change the prefix of that URL to whatever you login as for an easy fix. So, if you login to www.carnageblender.com, take the "cb2." out and put "www." in.

this has been suggested many times before, and got this reply all the time:



what about when you get it in chat?

If anyone can outbid me for the BoM ;) then I can check how it looks in chat. I'm sure it looks ugly, as HTML tags are likely included.

bartjan May 1 2006 12:25 PM EDT

HTML is correctly stripped when delivered in chat. It should be a full URL there. For Community->Chatmail, a relative one would make more sense, but I think it's very difficult to have both options at the same time.

AdminShade May 1 2006 12:31 PM EDT

you should then be able to choose whether or not to have it delivered in chat?

just like we have this option:

[V] Deliver new chatmail on home page
[ ] Deliver new chatmail in chat applet

bartjan May 1 2006 12:36 PM EDT

Then it still needs to do some magic, for when viewing in Community->Chatmail.

maybe just change the cookie to refer to carnageblender.com instead of the full domain .. then each would work without change ;-)

bartjan May 1 2006 1:24 PM EDT

That would be problematic whenever CB3 arrives ;)
Also, what about those who access CB by IP (for example, to avoid a filter at work/school)?

AdminShade May 1 2006 2:33 PM EDT

Moved this thread to Changelog, thought it would fit in here better.

New link works great! Thanks!

AdminShade May 2 2006 3:31 PM EDT

alas it doesn't work perfectly for me, since i log on from the www instead of the cb2.

Maelstrom May 2 2006 3:33 PM EDT

Couldn't the link just be /gc/view-one.tcl?classified_ad_id=55906 ?

That works for me...

bartjan May 2 2006 3:39 PM EDT

Maelstrom: see previous posts in this thread...

Maelstrom May 2 2006 3:45 PM EDT

Oh, you're referring to trouble caused if the CM is delivered in chat? Meh. People still use chat? :P
