Bug: Missing Changelog in Plugin Reactivation Notice

[jaswrks]

A customer writes...

Where is the most current version "change log"? after updating I clicked on the link which opened a blank page.

---

The location of the changelog may have changed in the last release and the link in the s2Member reactivation notice may have broken. Needs research.

Referencing internal/private ticket:
https://app.intercom.io/a/apps/zbpo3mkk/inbox/me@jaswsinc.com/conversations/7026501247

[raamdev]

Looks like this might be the line that needs updating:
https://github.com/websharks/s2member/blob/161129/src/includes/classes/readmes.inc.php#L49

[raamdev]

Here's what the changelog link links to in the above screenshot:
https://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php

[jaswrks]

This has been resolved in the dev branch.

@jaswsinc @raamdev

Testing all links and going through them systematically. So far so good.

Only one thing to note so far, is the format is inconsistent. For example on some links pointing to the forums that go to: https://forums.wpsharks.com/c/s2member; some links are s2member.com/forums/, while others are s2member.com/r/forums/.

Should all the links now be in that format: s2member.com/r/*?

[raamdev]

Yes, all external links should use redirects (s2member.com/r/[slug]). @renzms can you please provide a list of links and their locations that are not using redirects?

@raamdev

can you please provide a list of links and their locations that are not using redirects?

Sure thing! 👍

@renzms Wow! Thanks so much for gathering all that data. It looks like we have several links in there that currently lead to a 404 (another reason we should always be using redirects!), so I'm glad you caught those.

@jaswsinc Is there any problem with me replacing all of those links with proper redirects (i.e., s2member.com/r/[slug])?

[jaswrks]

Nice work!! @renzms @raamdev
Nope. Not a problem at all. I'd love to see redirects for those.

[raamdev]

@jaswsinc Can you tell me where these should be pointing to?

Dashboard → s2Member → Pro Coupon Codes → Pro Affiliate Coupon Codes

iDevAffiliate - http://www.s2member.com/idev-affiliate - redirects to 404
iDevAffiliate - http://www.s2member.com/idev-affiliate - redirects to 404
iDevAffiliate - http://www.s2member.com/idev-affiliate - redirects to 404

[jaswrks]

The ShareASale link is correct.

The iDev links you can point to:
https://s2member.com/kb-article/idevaffiliate-commission-tracking/

[jaswrks]

Or, to: https://s2member.com/affiliate-program-integrations/

[renzms]

@jaswsinc @raamdev

In Dashboard → s2Member → API / Scripting → Integrating iDevAffiliate,

there's a proper redirect link for iDevAffiliate, http://www.s2member.com/r/idevaffiliate/, but it redirects to: http://www.idevdirect.com/idevaffiliate.php.

Not sure if you want to change that also, so they all conform to

https://s2member.com/kb-article/idevaffiliate-commission-tracking/

Or, to: https://s2member.com/affiliate-program-integrations/

or to keep them as they are.

[jaswrks]

there's a proper redirect link for iDevAffiliate, http://www.s2member.com/r/idevaffiliate/, but it redirects to: http://www.idevdirect.com/idevaffiliate.php.

Thanks. I think that one is OK like it is.

[raamdev]

I've updated all of the links Renz mentioned above to use s2member/r/ redirects.
