Please Logos, fix this linking bug

Mark Barnes

There's been a bug lingering in Logos for months, which surely must be relatively easy to fix. It's been reported, but nothing has happened. To me, at least, it's the most frustrating minor bug, and I encounter it literally every day.

The bug occurs when you click on most bibliographic citations. This is what is supposed to happen if you own the resource:

And this if you don't:

However, what normally happens in practice, is this:

Please note, this isn't a resource problem, but a program bug. Kyle has confirmed that.

Please, please, please will you fix this. It's particularly a problem with the Old Testament Commentary Survey (which is the resource used above), but it also makes the Exegetical Summaries series almost unusable. That's included in base packages, so it's a bug that must affect thousands of users.

This bug is being actively worked on (except perhaps not today, specifically), but I don't have an ETA for when it might be fixed.

The delay in getting it fixed is that the links were designed to be very open-ended, and to be able to refer to resources that are not yet in Logos (or Vyrso) format. (Think of it perhaps like data type references as opposed to hard links, but for books.) Some work is still necessary on the back-end system to perform these lookups; we have also wanted to build in a way to make the links work offline (if you already own the destination resource).
