Promo set error

TappedOut forum

Posted on Sept. 5, 2014, 8:26 p.m. by Hellsing

A problem that have occured for me several times after adding a card to the promo set is:

  1. After submitting a card to the promo set and when the submission have been approved the card appears on the promo set(if all information is correct of course).
  2. When you playtest the deck with the newly added promo card the image works flawless.
  3. But when you hover over the card in the decklist a broken link image appears instead of the promo card image.
The cause of the error is placed in the html code. When you look at it(for example: farseek) in the playtester the img tag is using the source
Farseek.
But when it comes down to the decklist the img tag use another source, wich is Farseek broken link.

It would be very helpful if anyone fixed this error.

Oh, this is actually an issue for EVERY CARD IN THE T/O DATABASE.

(Insert vulgar language here)

This is probably THE most irritating thing on T/O at the moment. This issue is most likely caused by yeago's mass importing, as the entire card image submission system just basically crashed for an entire month after he did that mass importing.

Basically, I've been doing a little research on this error and here is what I've come up with:

There are two different codes for the card image overlay. One is used in the descriptions, comments and forum posts, and the other is used in the deck-lists, updates lists (upgraded users only), illegal cards list and set lists on the cards page. Now here is the difference between the two. The first one automatically takes the image url straight from the card image database. Any changes to the images are shown immediately in these areas. However, the second one takes much longer. From what I gather, it appears to take anywhere from a week to a month to perhaps even long for the second code to actually correlate itself with the correct information that is shown on the card information page.

There doesn't seem to be any work around it, and is a reason as to why I am INCREDIBLY picky on card images (the other is because I have to fix them myself). You mess that up once, the entire T/O community now has to deal with a botched up image for a long period of time. I am currently happy that I am the sole uploader of all the KTK cards, as that means I know EXACTLY what I'm doing.

Well thanks for the explanation but it disturbs me that it can't be solved easily for the moment(well maybe when I finished with my studies then I might be able to solve it, but that's two years from now).

I feel that I must apologize for getting the submissions wrong on Lonely Sandbar and Thawing Glaciers , obviously I shouldn't try to fix cards in the middle of the night...

Wait, people play those cards?

I'm fairly lenient on any set that isn't standard or modern viable. Mainly because the cards won't be seen too often.
