Quick Links - ERROR: Name Missing

Most Quick Links on work pages are currently showing "ERROR: Name Missing," and clicking on them doesn't yield any expected, functional result (e.g., Bookfinder, Amazon, or WorldCat). Library of Congress and Project Gutenberg show but yield "false." On https://www.librarything.com/work/347554, Google Books shows "Partial view" (instead of "Book info").

See https://www.librarything.com/topic/363323, especially Tim's post here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/363323#8622717

>2 lilithcat: Very good; thanks.

>2 lilithcat: Holy cow!

We'll be digging into this issue tomorrow morning. We (mostly I) could only do so much over the weekend.

>5 timspalding: We really appreciate your efforts over the weekend! After spotting the spambot attack Saturday night, I was fully expecting to find virtually every book on LT to have been highjacked. The fact that things were relatively normal and I was able to use LT as usual on Sunday morning is a testament to your hard work over the weekend. It can’t have been a fun way to spend a Saturday night.

Also noting here that the Edit Quick Links page is loading very slowly. We are aware of this and adding it to our list.

Reopening this as it's still active.

Just bumping this report, as the issue has been reported again by a member reaching out via email. In their case, the noted the issue in the Quick Links section of Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King

Ask Lucy about it?

The issue here is with the "ERROR: Name Missing" ones, right? Those are ones that we were not able to repopulate, so there's really nothing we can do with them. And what people see on their work pages is what they've configured. I would recommend removing the ones that are now missing.

>11 knerd.knitter: Will we ever get the ability to add new ones?

One of the missing links is ISFDB -- which is a database for Speculative Fiction and probably the link I used the most from that module. Trying to add it just hangs - it does not give me an error message, it just does not save :(

Nevermind - it was hiding under the Booksellers tab (why?) so I readded it from there again. Which means that it only shows on secondary pages. But it is not a bookseller. Same problem with any library :(

>12 AnnieMod: A new system will be coming with the LT2 Work page.

I changed that one to a database so it will now show on the main work page. We were not able to recreate the types properly for the online links, so I'm not sure I will be able to get all those back correct, but I can try.

>13 knerd.knitter: Awesome - thanks. I had to readd it again (different paths I guess) but at least now it is visible :)

Any chance you can also get Worldcat and/or WorldCat
WorldCat (advanced search) to the Libraries or the Databases tab? That's the other one I used to have and used somewhat a lot.

If you want a low-hanging fruit (or a never ending project I guess)- all the libraries (especially the internaltional ones) are just libraries and if they move to the library side of the tabs, people will be a lo

+1 to add WorldCat. Goodreads too for me.

Any ETA on when the ones that just throw a blank page saying 'false' might be fixed? From my quick links, LoC, Open Library, Project Gutenberg, do that.

Why are there hundreds of libraries in the Edit Quick Links > Online > Booksellers section? Worldcat and Worldcat (Advanced Search) is in the bookseller section, too. And lots of duplicates:

>14 AnnieMod: >15 SandraArdnas: >16 lesmel:

When we had the spammers attack, they wiped our data for those things; we were able to repopulate some of them based on a table that was made probably over a year ago, but not everything was there, so some of the data is probably just lost.

I made an attempt to move some back into Databases from Booksellers.

>18 knerd.knitter: Thank you!

Any chance of getting Bookfinder repopulated to Quick Links on work pages?

>20 jasbro: Sounds like @knerd.knitter just took care of that :)

>21 ZephCraven: Yes, and I'm happy now :D
Is it time to close this bug?

>22 jasbro: Number of links don't work, though they show their name. Open Library, Loc, Project Gutenberg to name a few major ones.

Goodreads is completely gone, not even listed anywhere anymore
