Topic: link symbol not showing
|
| By: Guest | Posted on: Jul 23 2020 at 03:16:40 AM | | When a link is added to a component/assembly and no link name is entered the link symbol is not shown in the components overview or when a component is searched for. Is this intentional? Now it is possible to add links without them being visible/clickable. This is in version 5.0.70.0 | |
| By: Support | Posted on: Jul 23 2020 at 10:27:23 AM | Sorry. I can't reproduce this problem. I always see the links icon even if the link has no name.
I did this:
Select an item and go to edit. Select Links Tab. Add Link (with address/URL but no name)
Press Back button. I now see the link icon.
Refresh/reload the list and the icon is still there.
Can you list the steps you take to reproduce the problem. | |

I must add to this that I'm using miniMRP with a MySQL database hosted locally. Previously running a single version of miniMRP with a local database I have never seen any issues with the links. | |

As I recall, I noticed this problem before our recent migration from the JET database to Microsoft SQL Server Express. The solution was for me to open the All Components view, use my eyeballs to to look for parts without link icons, open the part for editing, add a space to the Description, remove the space (thus forcing the Save icon to appear), then save the part.

| By: Guest | Posted on: Jul 29 2020 at 03:10:38 AM | | Another addition: Using save as on a component that has a link (+icon) results in a new component that does shown the link icon but does not have any links. | |
