+xjurasek Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi, you recomends ascii characters in "short name" of adventure, but don't require it. Adventure with different characters are not reachable in browser. Can you repair it? Eg: https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/blaník, and the same with lab id https://labs.geocaching.com/adventures/details/eb706715-64f3-4560-bd7d-d08ebf1516db Quote Link to comment

+OusKonNé & Cétyla Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Problem already submitted in July 2019 but Groundspeak never corrected the situation by validating the "Custom access code" field to get a valid and functional URL. Please validate the "Custom access code" field to get a valid and functional URLhttps://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/357465-please-validate-the-custom-access-code-field-to-get-a-valid-and-functional-url/ Quote Link to comment
+xjurasek Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks, I missed this thread, sorry. They "corrected" this situation by disabling "Custom access code" field ( ) without any way to correct this situation from owner's side. I can't find polite word for this solution.

Trying to fix a problem, they create another one... These programmers have blinders? Can't they see the collateral damage of such changes? If the field has been removed, how will the geocachers be able to correct their invalid link? The solution was simple: Validate the "Custom access code" field to get a valid and functional URL. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+OusKonNé & Cétyla Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Sorry if I was a bit rude in my previous answer, I apologize. For a new Adventure Lab, it's okay not to have the "Custom access code" field. The URL is then generated automatically. But for existing Adventure Labs with invalid or non-functional URL, geocachers need a way to correct the situation because right now, there are hundreds and hundreds of invalid URLs around the world that cannot be fixed (there are accented characters in several languages including Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, etc.).
