URL for TFOT doesn't work

I tried creating a TFOT lesson. I entered the URL of a General Conference talk. However, I can't click on the lesson and have it open the URL. The only place I can see the URL is if I go to the Edit Lesson screen. (I also tried URL on a Leadership lesson type...same problem, as I expected.)

And once I saw my URL disappear entirely (I haven't reproduced that problem yet).

We thought we had this fixed but it looks like it needs more work. Any additional information you can give us would be helpful. Exact steps to duplicate (for example, which type of Lesson you choose or edited), the URL (maybe it's too long?) or a Firebug error message would be great. Thanks. (Reference 389).

I tried setting URLs for TOFT in High Priests and Leadership in Relief Society. I've gotta run right now, so I can't dig into it more at the moment. I'll try to look at it later, maybe tomorrow.

I submitted a LUA Lessons Swarm test fail on this with the steps detail for the test I ran with the same issue. Essentially the lesson title ends up as plain text and not a hyperlink.

The URL I used was not too long. At least the entire URL was there when I went back in to the edit screen to see what was there.

Got the name of the lesson and a title that was supplied by the stake presidency where I'm at in, but there was no box for the online URL.

My stake chose 'The First Great Commandment' by Elder Holland for December, and gave it the topic title 'Conversion and Retention'. No URL box was available, and other than the title the only other box was for the instructor's name.

I'm just guessing wildly at what the problem is. The developer's looking at it now.

Just tried it now and it seems to link correctly to the right url when I click my test lesson title TFOT, and takes me to the link. did a bug fix work it out?

Adding a URL to a lesson title is now working as a hyperlink, as it should, for me.

A URL I previously entered now works properly.

Thanks for your input. We did deploy a new build that had this fix in it. Glad to hear it's working.

And this URL link ability adds so much functionality to the application for TFOT and for the presidency lessons...it was a big problem not to have it before...thank you.

Cannot enter URL's for TFOT lessons this morning. When I click save I get the following message
"This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"

if I click okay I get

"Service error detected The session may have timed out."

I am then kicked back to the log in screen and when I enter my user name/password I get the eternal spinner.

Can you reproduce this? The Service Error Detected message is something we're trying to figure out.

Please post any information or observations about your experience on the thread about the service error detected problem.

My previous URL works and I just added another. That one works fine also. I am not seeing the problem.

I am not sure if I should be posting here or in the service error thread. I have successfully entered the url for the first four months of 2013, but it took multiple attempts. I could not seem to enter more than one URL in a session. I would enter one for the month of January, then attempt to enter another for the month of February and the service error message would come up. If I closed my window and then relogged in I could then enter the URL for February. Then if I tried to do March, the same thing would happen. Don't know what the difference is. I entered them in different orders for different classes (high priests, rs, elders quorum) and still had the same problem.

All URLs I have entered now appear to be working correctly.

That's the service error problem and we're aware of it and we're looking into it. Thanks.
