Playlist doesn't load in FF when using direct link to party

[cmar0ck]

Hi,

when opening a party URL (https://festify.us/party/-L************p) in Firefox without entering the party code beforehand the playlist and party title can't be loaded / load infinitely (see screenshot for details).

Tested in FF 60.0.2 (Ubuntu 18.04) and FF 61.0 (Win7), both 64bit.

Note: Refreshing / reloading the page seems to fix the issue temporarily but after clearing FF's cache the issue reappears.

Can u help, pls?

Hey!

Could you open the console (Right Click > Inspect Element > Console Tab) and show us the output if there is any?

[NeoLegends]

Yeah I can reproduce this. Working on a fix now.

[NeoLegends]

Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up!

[cmar0ck]

Wow, that was fast, thanks a lot! :)

I assume I have to be patient a little longer for the changes to be deployed?
(When testing the problem still persists...)

[NeoLegends]

Yeah this is not live yet. :)

I see :) Last question, I promise:
Is there a chance it will go live before the 13th of July?
That would be really awesome as I intended to use Festify for an event on that date.

Very likely, but is this really a big problem to you? Seems like it would only occur once "in a lifetime", no?

Well, there will be numerous international guests and if only 100 of them try to use Festify with Firefox resulting in the queue not loading properly the first time they try it, they might be confused, disappointed or might even complain (not all of them are tech savvy), so the overall impression will suffer and that's something I'd like to avoid. I'd also like to keep the voting process as easy and streamlined as possible, so I'd definitely prefer the direct URL over the intermediate step of entering the party code. On the other hand I need to get print material (timetables, handouts, etc) done asap on which I planned to include the Festify URL and some instructions. So I'm depending on you and your decision when you're going to deploy the fix... Please don't let me down ;)

Fix is released now ✅
