Talk:I & II Corinthians (2011) Study Materials

Where are the 2 Corinthians questions?

PDF files

I'm trying to make files, and upload PDFs, but it isn't working. I've uploaded a couple of pdf documents, but somehow the wikilinks to said files aren't working. Help, anyone? 78.26 23:39, 28 January 2011 (EST)

I think I've just solved it for you. The problem was that the vertical bar or pipe character, |, used to separate the filename and the descriptive text, was something the wrong character. When I replaced that one character, the download link immediately started working. WikiSysop 17:27, 30 January 2011 (EST)

Hmmm, It's still not working for me. I've got several study helps I'd like to upload, including seven practice examinations I've developed for my team. If I were bright enough to figure this out, perhaps I could be of use to the rest of you. 78.26 00:52, 3 February 2011 (EST)

Once again there was some problem between the final 'f' of .pdf and the vertical bar, or the vertical bar itself. When I hover a link that's broken, I see that the link ends with .pdf%E2%80%8E . Going from memory, I think those three characters (E2, 80 and 8E) are all above the basic 127 ASCII character set, and they may all be invisible or zero-width. I don't understand how they get embedded.

To correct the bad link, I swiped and deleted the (apparent) two characters 'f|' and retyped them. After saving this change, the link works find. Too strange! WikiSysop 11:45, 3 February 2011 (EST)

Even if you can't get the links to work on the first try, go ahead with your uploads and create the links as close as you can to what they should be. If they're still not working, leave another note here or on the talk page for the appropriate page, and I'll go in and make the same kind of "correction." WikiSysop 11:47, 3 February 2011 (EST)

Ah! Got it! If I place the cursor between the "f" and the pipe charater, and hit "delete", then it works. Somehow when copying on this wiki it is placing a "null" character before the pipe charachter. This doesn't happen to me when editing wikipedia, for what that's worth.. Anyway, I've uploaded 7 practice exams. Standard disclaimers apply. <grin> 78.26 11:25, 4 February 2011 (EST)

Oh, good, I'm glad you were able to find the solution. And it's weird that the same sequence of actions has a different result on Wikipedia. But their code base is quite a bit newer. Thanks for all your contributions! WikiSysop 15:44, 7 February 2011 (EST)
