Custom URLs in Widgets

[janet.vamos]

Hello,
We have a long existing widget that has been using the href attribute to link to an event.

Currently, the widget links to an event url of:
https://events.uconn.edu/live/events/905807-accessible-images-websites-and-documents-workshop (which is not the custom URL for this event)…and redirects to https://events.uconn.edu/information-technology-services/view/event/event_id/905807 (which 404s).

The behavior is confusing to me from my understanding widget urls should always update to point to custom urls and the page I am being directed to doesn’t even use the auto-generated URL (unless I am misunderstanding something).

This behavior can be seen in our Featured Events Widget (https://events.uconn.edu/, top of homepage). What attribute can I use to generate functioning urls?

Thanks!

Hi, Janet’s UConn colleague here. If it helps, this is the URL of the event itself: Accessible Images Workshop / UConn Calendar You’ll note that it does not 404.

Hi folks,

I see what you mean, we’ve been able to reproduce similar behavior on one of our test servers – apologies for the hassle, we’re working on a diagnosis and will let you know when we have more info or a fix for this.

Thanks Janet and Craig, we’ve identified a core 2.19.0 bug causing this and have rolled out a patch fix to all affected calendars: LiveWhale Calendar 2.19.0 bug affecting shared events
