The format for the DevForum social link in a plugin is oddly specific

[rabbi99 (Stellar)]

Hello, if you want to add a devforum post to your plugin in the social links section, the format is oddly specific. Let me explain.

---

This is the placeholder for the devforum social link. This one works, but this is not my devforum post, so I want to change it to something else.

---

I copy paste my devforum link into it, and I get this.

---

I try removing the title from the link (which makes it still a valid link)

---

Now, I try using the placeholder again, but only changing the ID at the end of the link

---

So it only works when you copy paste the placeholder and change the ID at the end of it.

Expected behavior

It should’ve worked with any devforum post link instead of the exact placeholder link with an arbitrary ID.

It’s because of the unicode character in your devforum post most likely. They should try and fix that so it supports URL-encoded unicode characters in the slug (named part of the link)

To work around it for now, can you try changing the slug, it doesn’t matter what it is since the forum will use the topic ID in the string and will still resolve correctly anyway. Try this for example:

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/vfx-scripter-pro--an-essential-plugin-for-vfx-scripters/2961973

Whatever you just gave me seems to be accepted.

in most cases you remove the title entirely and do https://devforum.roblox.com/t/12345678

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This issue has been resolved and you should now be able to use DevForum links that contain URL-encoded Unicode characters in the title portion of the link.
